问题     As children we start【C1】______a natural curiosity about everything around us, and during the maturation process this curiosity can be stimulated, buffered or severely attenuated by our environment and experience. The future success of research in science and engineering depends 【C2】______our society recognizing the crucial role played by stimulation of mental processes early in life. Pattern recognition, analytical thinking and similar abilities need to be stimulated from birth onward. To destroy this natural curiosity or to attenuate the joy of discovery is the greatest disservice we do【C3】______the developing person.
    For those who reach maturity with their natural curiosity intact and enhanced by education, the joy of discovery is a strong driver of success. But why are so【C4】______of our capable students pursuing the level of education required for a successful research career? Is it【C5】______we have dampened their curiosity? Have we failed to let them experience the joy of discovery? Is it because the media sometimes portrays scientists and engineers【C6】______nerds? Is it because too many of us currently involved【C7】______the research enterprise have become disenchanted with our circumstances and therefore paint a bleak future for potential scientists and engineers? Perhaps entirely different factors are【C8】______play in the decision to not become scientists and engineers.
    We have too frequently portrayed science and engineering as professions that are all-encompassing. We have portrayed research as a profession that requires long and grueling hours in the laboratory to achieve success. We have【C9】______to promote the excitement and exhilaration of discovery. We have not promoted the fact that it is not only very common【C10】______very reasonable to have a successful research career and an exciting and normal personal life.
【C9】
选项
答案failed
解析 固定搭配和上下文语义。空格所在的句子与后面的句子We have not promoted…表达的是同向的意思，所以空格应填入与not对应，表示否定的词，fail to do sth．表示未能做某事，没能做某事。再根据空格前面的have，说明使用的时态是现在完成时，所以答案为动词的过去分词形式failed。
