问题     Culture is activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty and humane feeling.【C1】______of information have nothing to do with it. A merely well-informed man is the most useless【C2】______on God’s earth. What we should【C3】______at producing is men who【C4】______both culture and expert knowledge in some special direction. Their expert knowledge will give them the ground to start【C5】______, and their culture will lead them as【C6】______as philosophy and as high as【C7】______. We have to remember that the valuable【C8】______development is self-development, and that it【C9】______takes place between the ages of sixteen and thirty. As to training, the most important part is given by mothers before the age of twelve.
    In training a child to activity of thought, above all things we must【C10】______of what I will call "inert ideas"—that is to say, ideas that are merely【C11】______into the mind without being【C12】______, or tested, or thrown into fresh combinations. In the history of education, the most【C13】______phenomenon is that schools of learning, which at one epoch are alive with a craze for genius, in a【C14】______generation exhibit merely pedantry and routine. The reason is that they are overladen with inert ideas. Except at【C15】______intervals of intellectual motivation, education in the past has been radically【C16】______with inert ideas. That is the reason why【C17】______clever women, who have seen much of the world, are in middle life so much the most cultured part of the community. They have been saved from this horrible【C18】______of inert ideas. Every intellectual revolution which has ever stirred humanity【C19】______greatness has been a【C20】______protest against inert ideas.
【C16】
选项 A、infected
B、influenced
C、instructed
D、endowed
答案A
解析 “传染；感染”。根据原文意思：“在过去，教育基本上是受内心思想感染的。”而且作者在这里表达的是一种消极的态度，所以选择“infect”。而B项“influence多指对某人的思想、行为、性格等产生的潜移默化的、使之逐渐改变的‘影响’”，C项“instruct正式用词，强调系统、详细、精心地‘传授’专门化的知识”，D项“endow with给予，赋予，认为……具有某种特质”均不符合原文意思。
