No Englishman believes in working from book learning. He suspects
everything new, and dislikes it, unless he can be compelled by the force of
circumstances to see that this new thing has advantage over the old.
Race-experience is what he invariably depends upon, when he can, (1)______
whether in India, in Egypt, or in Australia.
His statesmen do not consult historic precedents in order to decide (2)______
what to do: they first learn the facts that they are; then they depend upon (3)______
their own common sense, not at all upon their university learning and upon (4)______
philosophical theories. And in case of the English nation, it must be (5)______
acknowledged that this instinctive method has been extremely successful.
The last people from whom praise can be expected, even for what is
worth of all praise, are the English. The Englishman all the time is (6)______
studying, considering, trying to find fault. Why should he try to find fault?
So that he will not make any mistakes at a later day. He was inherited the (7)______
trouble caution of his ancestors in regards to mistakes. It must be granted (8)______
that his caution has saved him from a number of very serious mistakes
that other nations have made. It must also be acknowledged that he exercises
a fair amount of moderation in the opposite direction—this modern
Englishman; he has learned caution of other kind, which his ancestors (9)______
taught him. "Power should be used with moderation; for whoever finds
himself among valiant men will discover that no man is superior than others." (10)______
(2)
选项
答案
historic一historical
解析
易混词误用。historic意为“历史性的,有历史意义的”,而historical意为“与历史有关的,历史上的”。根据所修饰的名词precedents“先例”。形容词的意思应该为“历史上的”,所以应改用historical。
