问题    Observation of an object in isolation tells us not             【S1】______
more than it exists. Seeing in relation to something              【S2】______
else, however, it may be revealed to have certain
implications. For examples, if I apply a light to a
pile of sticks, I expect this to catch fire and, shortly,
to see smoke arising from them. If I see a rapidly                【S3】______
traveling billiard ball make contact with a free-standing
stationary one, I expect that latter to start to moving.          【S4】______
If I put a pan of water on the stove, I expect that, sooner
or later, its contents will not boil and turn to steam.           【S5】______
   Why do I expect these things? Obviously, becauseS5
previous experience (my own and that of others) had
led me to do such. Without this there would be nothing            【S6】______
to prevent my thinking that one could have smoke with             【S7】______
a fire, that billiard would be more to their own accord,          【S8】______
or that water would boil in the absence of heat. As it is,
observation has shown me that this is not so. For any
of the above particular things to come round,                     【S9】______
it may have been preceded by another equally                      【S10】______
particular thing. [br] 【S10】
选项
答案 may→must
解析 此处错误不易察觉，隐藏在对英语语感的把握之中。如果使用may，表示可能的原因，并不表示确定的结论。但文章通过前面的论证实际上最后是给出一个结论，而不是表示一个可能的猜测，因此应该使用表示旨定语气的must，表示“必然”。
