问题 The study of the properties of numbers, Plato tells us, habituates the mind to the contemplation of pure truth, and raises it above the material universe.
选项 A、modification
B、meditation
C、maintenance
D、mediation
答案 B
解析    (1)句子结构。
   本句有两个谓语，句子结构为The study of the properties of numbers(画线部分为主语)，Plato tells us(插入语)，habituates(谓语1)the mind(宾语)to the contemplation of pure truth(宾语补语)，and raises(谓语2)it(宾语)above the material universe(宾语补语)。
   (2)选项词义。
   A．modification n．修改；修饰；改善；限定
   B．meditation n．深思，冥想(尤指精神方面的问题)；沉思录
   C．maintenance n．保持：维修，坚持；赡养费，抚养费
   D．mediation n．调解；仲裁；调停
   句子大意为“柏拉图告诉我们，研究数字属性使人习惯于深思纯粹的真理，超越具象世界”。原题中的contemplation意为“深思”“沉思”，与选项中的meditation词义最为接近，因此选项B正确。
   【知识拓展】词汇拓展：contemplation与meditation。
   ①contemplation n．the action of looking thoughtfully at something for a long time；deep reflective thought；state of being thought about or planned
   e．g．He would retire to his room for study or contemplation．
   他要回房学习或思考去了。
   ②meditation n．the practice of thinking deeply in silence，especially for religious reasons or in order to make yourmind calm
   e．g．She found peace through yoga and meditation．
   她通过瑜伽和冥想找到了宁静。
