问题 It is not surprising,【C1】______the lack of fit between gifted students and their schools, that such students often have little good to say about their school experience. In one study of 400 adults who had achieved【C2】______in all areas of life, researchers found that three-fifths of these individuals either did badly in school or were unhappy in school. Few MacArthur Prize fellows, winners of the MacArthur【C3】______for creative accomplishment, had good things to say about their precollegiate schooling if they had not been placed in advanced programs.
Anecdotal reports support this. Pablo Picasso, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Oliver Gold Smith, and William Butler Yeats all【C4】______poorly in school. So did Winston Churchill, who almost failed out of Harrow, an elite British school.
Some of these gifted people may have done poorly in school because then-gifts were not【C5】______. Maybe we can account【C6】______Picasso in this way. But most disliked school not because they lacked ability but because they found school【C7】______and consequently lost interest. Yeats described the lack of fit between his mind and school: "Because I had found it difficult to attend【C8】______ anything less interesting than my own thoughts, I was difficult to teach."
When highly gifted students in any【C9】______talk about what was important to the development of their abilities, they are far more likely to mention their families than their schools or teachers. High-IQ children, in Australia studied by Miraca Gross, had much more positive feelings about their families than their schools. About half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bloom had little good to say about school. They all did well in school and took honors classes when available, and some【C10】______grades.
A. distinctiveness B. given C. on D. distinction
E. Award F. unchallenging G. for H. Reward
I. scholastic J. to K. domain L. skipped
M. disliked N. fared O. provided [br] 【C4】
选项
答案 N
解析 fared，上下文题。根据词性，此处应当填入动词。依据下文“So did Winston Churchill…”可推测上文提到的诸人和丘吉尔一样，在学业上并不成功。同时下文有类似句型“Some of these gifted people may have done poorly in school…”，因此空格中应当填入do的近义词，故答案为fared“进展”。
