Many Chinese students are unfamiliar with the idea of a liberal-arts education----an approach to learning that's common at US universities.It's a(41)D that exposes a student to a wide range of subjects instead of focusing on technical skills.The most important goal is to (42)F a student's character.
The theory of a liberal-arts college is that a student goes through four years of school focusing on (43)B and personal development and gaining a broad knowledge of the world.After that,he can continue with law,business or graduate school to obtain a specific skill.Once he has developed good character,he will be able to (44)A whatever he wishes.
The education can shape a student's ability to make choices in the future by fostering two (45)H skills:how to learn things on his own and how to think critically.The old Chinese saying is right:It's better to teach someone how to fish than to give him fish.The liberal-arts curriculum can empower a student to seek knowledge outside the classroom and not to be afraid of the (46)K.
Another key aspect of a liberal-arts education is that it helps to develop critical thinking.In other words,it teaches a student how to (47)C conflicting information or views and form his own opinions.It inspires him to dig deeper and challenge what is presented to him.
After receiving a liberal-arts education,he will never accept that things are as they should be.He wants to find out why something is the way it is.This type of education encourages him to always pursue the"why".Once he understands the why,he will better understand the fundamentals and have a deeper (48)I of whatever subject he is pursuing.This desire to question things continuously---including one's own ideas and life---is an important aspect of someone's (49)E.
Figuring out who you are and what you're capable of is the best part of a liberal-arts education.It's a (50)G of self-motivation and self-awareness.

41.D 考查名詞.句意為,文科教育是一個策略,使學(xué)生接觸到不同的科目而不是專注科技能力.
42.F 考查動詞.結(jié)合上句可知,a liberal-arts education主要的目標(biāo)是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的性格.
43.B 考查形容詞.通過gaining a broad knowledge of the world學(xué)生獲得廣闊的世界知識,包括intellectual 和personal development,即智力和個人發(fā)展上的.
44.A 考查動詞.根據(jù)Once he has developed good character一旦發(fā)展成好的性格,就能夠取得想要的,accomplish動詞,取得.
45.H 考查形容詞.根據(jù)how to learn things on his own and how to think critically可知,是兩個重要的技能.
46.K 考查形容詞.根據(jù)該句The liberal-arts curriculum can empower a student to seek knowledge outside the classroom…句意可知,該課程使學(xué)生尋求教室之外的知識,以及對未知之事不感到害怕.
47.C 考查動詞.從后面的form his own opinions形成自己的觀點,所以前面應(yīng)該是分析信息.
48.I 考查名詞.此處是一個固定短語,have a deeper understanding of對…有一個更好的理解.
49.E 考查名詞.根據(jù)第一段最后一句a student's character可知,此處對應(yīng)填character.
50.G考查名詞.最后一句意思是,文學(xué)教育是弄清你是誰,你擅長什么,這也是一個自我反思的過程.
點評 在做選詞填空題時,很重要的一點就是要確認(rèn)空格處所要填的詞的詞性,然后根據(jù)句子的法則,也是就是句法來判斷所要填的詞.
