答案与解析 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要围绕“学习是怎么一回事”进行了探讨。 句意为：学习从我们一出生就开始了。month意为“月”；minute意为“分钟”；time“时间”；day意为“日天”。名词短语the minute作连词引导时间状语从句时意为“一……就……”符合语境。故选B。 句意为：在家里我们学说话、学穿衣、学着自己吃饭。四个选项都有“穿戴”之意。dress与空后的“ourselves”构成固定搭配意为“穿衣服”。故选D。 句意为：我们学会这些以及其他的技能都是通过模仿。ask意为“问”；listen意为“听”；follow意为“跟随模仿”；drill意为“练习”。根据语境和常识可知说话、吃饭、穿衣都是模仿而学得的。故选C。 句意为：后来我们来到学校老师告诉我们要学些什么以及如何学。根据语境和常识可知学校老师教授学生学习的内容和方法所谓“传道授业解惑”。故选A。 句意为：于是人们会说control意为“控制”；educate意为“教育”；suffer意为“遭受忍受”；pass意为“通过”。根据下句“Are we really educated？”可知此处表示“受过教育”。故选B。 句意为：让我们来仔细考虑一下学习的真正意义。pick up意为“拾起学会”；turn away意为“转身离开”；set out意为“出发”；think about意为“考虑”。根据语境可知此处表示“认真考虑、反思”。故选D。 句意mean意为“意味”；say意为“说”；suggest意为“建议”；show意为“展示”。根据上句中的“the real meaning of learning”可知此处表示“意味着”。故选A。 句意为：解决问题要求有创造力而不仅仅是凭借良好的记忆力。word意为“单词”；thing意为“事情”；memory意为“记忆”；condition意为“条件状况”。此处与上句中的“Knowing facts”相呼应表示“良好的记忆力”。故C。 句意为：一些并不博学的人也有很好的解决问题的能力。people意为“人”；fact意为“事实”；technique意为“技术”；way意为“方法”。根据上文中的“Knowing facts”可知答案选B。 句意为：Henry Ford就是一个很好的例子。learner意为“学习者”；teacher意为“老师”；example意为“例子”；driver意为“司机”。根据上下文语境可知此处作者举例说明。故选C。new意为“新的”；fast意为“快的”；beautiful意为“漂亮的”；cheap意为“廉价的”。根据下句中的“the assembly line”可知生产线大幅度地提高了生产力。由此推知答案选B。 句意为：他想到了用生产线的方法解决生产率低的问题。complain of意为“抱怨”；hear of意为“听说”；talk of意为“谈起”；think of意为“想起”。根据上句中的“he solved the problem”可知想到了办法。故选D。 句意为：今天看来答案相当简单。ordinary意为“普通的”；strange意为“奇怪的”；simple意为“简单的”；special意为“特别的”。根据常识可知现在这个问题已经不是问题了相当简单。故选C。 句意为：然而想想许多大学生从来都不曾解决过任何问题吧这样你就觉得Ford很了不起了。never意为“绝不”；almost意为“几乎”；seldom意为“很少”；ever意Yet”的转折可知此处与上文形成强烈对比。故选A。 句意为：他会给学生许多事实去记忆吗？make意为“制造使得”；understand意为“理解”；master意为“掌握”；give意为“给”。根据下句中的“He brings us to the stream of knowledge...”可知此处是指“老师是否呈现一些事实给学生来记忆”。故选D。 句意为：但是一个好的老师要展示的是如何去寻求答案。know意为“知show意为“展现显示向……演示”；order意为“命令”；encourage意为“鼓励”。根据语境和常识可知一个好的老师所要向学生展示的是学习的方法。故选B。A 句意为：当我们渴的时候我们知道去哪里寻求水源。thirsty意为“渴的”；tired意为“累的”；bored意为“厌倦的”；free意为“自由的免费的”。此处与上句比喻中的“the stream”相呼应指“当我们渴的时候”。故选A。 句意为：我们把信息输入我们的大脑。of意为“……的”；for意为“为了对于”；about意为“关于”；into意为“进入”。此处与上句中的“intake”相呼应指“将信息存入大脑”。故选D 句意为：就像一台电脑。它能存储很多东西但是它不能思考。radio意为“收音机”；computer意为“电脑”；record意为“纪录唱片”；machine意为“机器”。根据下句“it stores a lot of information可知此处是拿人脑和电脑作类比。故选B。 句意为：只有当一个人能够运用他所知道的知识时学习这个过程才会发生。take measure意为“采取措施”；take note意为“记笔记”；take place意为“发生”；take time意为“时间”。take place符合语境。故选C。
