问题     Since, we are told, 80 to 90 percent of all instruction in the typical university is by the lecture method, we should give close attention【C1】______this form of education. There is, I think,【C2】______truth in Patricia Nelson Limerick’s observation that "【C3】______is an unnatural act, an act for which God did not design humans. It is perfectly all right, now and【C4】______, for a human to be possessed by the urge to speak, and to speak【C5】______others remain silent. But to do this 【C6】______, one hour and 15 minutes at a time? I do not believe that this is what the Creator【C7】______humans to do. "
    The strange, almost incomprehensible fact is that many professors, just as they feel【C8】______to write dully, believe that they【C9】______lecture dully. To show enthusiasm is to risk【C10】______unscientific, unobjective; it is to appeal【C11】______the students’ emotions rather than their【C12】______. Thus the ideal lecture is one filled with facts and read with an【C13】______tone.
    The cult(推崇)of lecturing dully, like the cult of writing dully, goes back some years. Edward Shils, recalls the professors he【C14】______at the University of Pennsylvania in his youth. They seemed " a priesthood,【C15】______uneven in their merits but【C16】______in their bearing. Some read from old lecture notes and then haltingly explained the thumb-worn last lines. Others lectured from cards that had【C17】______for years, to judge by the worn edges. The teachers began on time, ended on time, and left the room【C18】______saying a word more to their students, very【C19】______being detained(留住)by questioners. No questions were【C20】______in class, and there were no office hours. " [br] 【C12】
选项 A、intelligence
B、intellect
C、intellectual
D、intelligent
答案 B
解析 名词辨义题。四个选项词根相同，词形相近，词义相关。根据rather than结构可知，作者意在将某两个方面进行对比。intelligence“理解力，智力”；intellect“智力”；intellectual“知识分子”；intelligent“聪明的，智能的”。rather than结构中与emotion(情感)相对的应该是intellect“智力”，此处主要是intellect和intelligence的区别。前者侧重不受感情或意志左右的冷静思考或领悟能力；后者侧重处理或对付问题或情况的特殊才智，也指运用、展开智慧的能力。
