  When a person is curious about something, it means he is 1 in it and wishes to know more about it. There is 2 wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad depends on what people are curious about.

  Curiosity is 3 silly or wrong. Some persons with nothing to do are full of curiosity about what their 4 are doing. They are 5 to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are 6 home or taking outside, or 7 they have come so early or late. To be interested in these things is 8 because they are 9 at all. It is none of their 10 to know what their neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is 11 not only 12 but also harmful. For most probably, it 13 to small talk which often brings harm, shame of disrespect to others, and thus 14 their feelings.

  On the other hand, there is a 15 curiosity--the curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to 16 all they can about them. Columbus could never have found America if he had not been 17 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine 18 his curiosity about the raising of the kettle lid. All the discoveries in human history have been made 19 a result of curiosity, 20 , the curiosity is never about unimportant things which have few or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.

答案:D;B;B;A;C;D;B;A;C;A;B;D;A;B;C;A;C;B;A;D
解析:

(1) be interested in sth.對……感興趣。

(2) 從上下文的內(nèi)容看講的是好奇本身是沒有錯(cuò)的。

(3) 好奇本身沒有錯(cuò),但有時(shí)也會(huì)是silly or wrong。

(4) 從下文暗示中可知答案是A。

(5) 一量有了好奇好,就急于想知道。

(6) bringing現(xiàn)在分詞,從句意看應(yīng)是帶點(diǎn)什么回家。

(7) why指原因。因好奇而想知道別人回家早或晚的原因。

(8) silly“傻的,蠢的”,上文暗示,對這樣的小事好奇,這種好奇當(dāng)然是很蠢了。

(9) unimportant“不重要的”,別人吃什么喝什么這樣的事當(dāng)然是不重要的小事了。

(10) It is none of one's business”是個(gè)固定句型,意為“不關(guān)心某人的事”。

(11) something 常用在肯定句中。整個(gè)句子的意思是:這種好奇不僅是愚蠢的,而且是有害的。

(13) lead to“引起,導(dǎo)致”,既然好奇就會(huì)引起談?wù)摗?/P>

(14) hurt作“作傷害,疼痛”講時(shí),可以指肉體上的傷害、疼痛,也可以指心靈感情的傷害。如:①My stomach hurts. His words hurt my feelings.

(15) noble“高尚的,崇高的”。

(16) find out指經(jīng)過一番努力,查明了真相、事實(shí)或打聽清楚了某事。此處指:一旦產(chǎn)生好奇,就想搞清它的來龍去脈。

(17) 此處是個(gè)虛擬語氣句。而實(shí)際是Columbus因?yàn)楹闷娌胚h(yuǎn)航去尋找印度,結(jié)果去了現(xiàn)了America。

(18) 與上文同樣的因?yàn)?/FONT>Jamesthe raising of the kettle lid產(chǎn)生了好在村里才發(fā)明了steam engine。

(19) A as a result of…是個(gè)固定搭配,意為“作為……的結(jié)果”。

(20)however在此表轉(zhuǎn)折,而且常用逗號(hào)與其他成分隔開,but也表轉(zhuǎn)折,但其后沒有逗號(hào)。該句的意思是:好奇應(yīng)是對人有益的,而不是與人無益的不重要的小事。

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to   36   a different life. It was a transitional(過渡的) time in Daniel’s life. I wanted to   37   him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the   38   time I had let such moments pass.

When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked     39     the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar   40   played itself out. I drove him to college.

What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?   47   as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always   48   never hearing him put his    49   into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so   50   to tell a son something from the heart?

My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That’s all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world   51   , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn’t understand what he was saying. All I was   52   of was the stubble(短須) on his chin as his face pressed    53    mine. What I had said to Daniel was   54   . It was nothing. And yet, it was    55     .

36. A. experience           B. spend             C. enjoy               D. shape

37. A. show              B. give                C. leave               D. instruct
