2006年12月真題（老題型）
The most important starting point for improving the
understanding of science is undoubtedly an adequate
scientific education at school. Public attitudes towards
science owe much the way science is taught in these ___1___
institutions. Today, school is what most people come into ___2___
contact with a formal instruction and explanation of science
for the first time, at least in a systematic way. It is at this
point which the foundations are laid for an interest in science. ___3___
What is taught (and how) in this first encounter will largely
determine an individual’s view of the subject in adult life.
Understanding the original of the negative attitudes ___4___
towards science may help us to modify them. Most education
system neglect exploration, understanding and reflection. ___5___
Teachers in schools tend to present science as a collection of
facts, often by more detail than necessary. As a result, ___6___
children memorize processes such as mathematical formulas or the
periodic table, only to forget it shortly afterwards. The ___7___
task of learning facts and concepts, one at a time, makes
learning laborious, boring and efficient. Such a purely ___8___
empirical approach, which consists of observation and
description, is also, in a sense, unscientific or incomplete.
There is therefore a need for resources and methods of
teaching that facilitates a deep understanding of science in___9___
an enjoyable way. Science should not only be “fun” in the
same way as playing a video game, but ‘hard fun’—deep
feeling of connection made possibly only by imaginative ___10___
engagement.
答案及解析:
1. much后加to
本題考查owe的固定搭配用法。owe sth to sth / sb 意為“把…歸功于...”，還有另一種表達就是owe sb sth，與owe sth to sb同義，意為“欠某人某物”。
2. what -> where
本題要表達的意思是：學校是……的地方，所以要用where。
3. which -> that
此處是it is .. that..的強調(diào)句句型，強調(diào)句的that不能省略。which不能做強調(diào)句的引導詞。
4. original -> origin
original是形容詞，這里需要一個名詞做understanding的賓語，所以要改成其相應(yīng)的名詞origin。
5. system -> systems
System是單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞，不能單獨使用。由前面的Most可判斷，這里應(yīng)該用復數(shù)形式。
6. by -> in
in detail是固定搭配，意為“詳細地，詳盡地”。
7. it -> them
此處的代詞指的是上一行的processes，由于processes是復數(shù)，所以用復數(shù)形式的代詞them。
8. efficient -> inefficient
由前面的laborious“廢勁的”和boring“煩人的”可判斷，這里應(yīng)該用一個貶義詞與它們并列，所以要把efficient改為inefficient“無效率的”。
9. facilitates -> facilitate
這句話that引導的是一個定語從句，在找錯誤前首先要了解先行詞究竟是哪個（teaching，resources and methods還是need？）。根據(jù)意思，應(yīng)該是“教學資源和教學方法使得對科學的深刻了解變得更容易”，所以這個定語從句的先行詞應(yīng)該是resources and methods，of teaching只是作resources and methods的定語。先行詞是復數(shù)，從句的謂語也應(yīng)該用復數(shù)形式，所以將facilitates改為facilitate。
10. possibly -> possible
此處考查的是make +賓語+形容詞（賓語補足語），這里把賓語提前，用了被動語態(tài)形式。還原成原句應(yīng)該是deep feeling of connection is made possible only by imaginative engagement, 這里把is去掉了，直接用過去分詞made作deep feeling of connection的定語。
