问题     Personality is to a large extent inherent—A type parents usually bring about A type【C1】______. But the environment must also have a【C2】______effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is【C3】______to become a major factor in the lives of their children.
    One place where children【C4】______ up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very【C5】______, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools 【C6】______ the win at all costs’ moral standard and【C7】______ their success by sporting achievements. The current 【C8】______ for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two【C9】______system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B type fellows. Being too【C10】______ to win can have dangerous consequences; remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped【C11】______ seconds after saying: " Rejoice, we conquer!"
    By far the worst form of competition in schools is the【C12】______ emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The【C13】______of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, by competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful. Obviously, it is neither 【C14】______ nor desirable that all A youngsters change into B’s. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child’s personality【C15】______ his possible future employment.
    If the【C16】______ of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children 【C17】______values. Perhaps selection for the caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such 【C18】______as sensitivity and sympathy. It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors 【C19】______ from A type stock. B’s are important and should be【C20】______.
【C1】
选项 A、offset
B、offshore
C、offence
D、offspring
答案D
解析 形近词辨析题。[A]offset可作动词或名词，表示“补偿，抵消”；[B]offshore可作形容词或副词，表示“离岸的(地)；近海的(地)”；[C]offence为名词，表示“冒犯”；[D]offspring为名词，表示“子女，子孙”。句意为：性格在很大程度上是遗传的，A类性格的父母的子女也很可能是A类性格，[D]为答案。
