问题     Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, 【C1】______less the content or quality of that education. We know that more than 850,000 children go 【C2】______hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a【C3】______right to continue to【C4】______education【C5】______in hospital.
    【C6】______wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching【C7】______differ a great deal【C8】______the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which【C9】______children have no teacher.【C10】______quarter have only a part-time teacher. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than【C11】______children have some contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were【C12】______to find a teacher in hospital at all.
    【C13】______for hospital teaching range from preventing a child【C14】______behind and maintaining the habit of school【C15】______a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The【C16】______and influence of many teachers was【C17】______when parents referred to them as "the library lady" or just "the helper". Children【C18】______rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work【C19】______or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can.
    Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to【C20】______the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.

选项 A、astound
B、astonished
C、surprised
D、startled
答案C
解析 词义辨析题surprise，astonish，astound，startle均含“使惊愕，使惊讶，使惊奇”之意，surprise：普通用词，多指因未预料或意外的事而引起的惊奇之感；astonish：语气较强，指出乎预料，意外发生，但又无法解释而感到惊奇；astound：语气强，指由于事情令人难以置信或实在罕见而使人感到震惊；startle：指因突然的惊吓或意料不到的刺激等而使人惊跳或震惊。此处指“大部分被采访的孩子发现医院居然有老师时很惊讶”，只是一般的出乎意料，故选C。
