It's said the most exciting kind of
education is also the most personal. Nothing can{{U}} (31) {{/U}}the joy
of discovering something important to you. It may be an idea or a bit of
information you{{U}} (32) {{/U}}accidentally—or a sudden{{U}} (33)
{{/U}}, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem.
Such personal{{U}} (34) {{/U}}are the "payoff" in education. A teacher
may{{U}} (35) {{/U}}you to learning and even encourage you in it—but no
teacher can make the excitement happen. That's{{U}} (36) {{/U}}to
you. A research paper, {{U}}(37) {{/U}}in a course and
perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor, {{U}}(38) {{/U}}you
beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a{{U}} (39)
{{/U}}where the joy of discover and learning can come to you many times.
{{U}}(40) {{/U}}the research paper is an active and ideal individual
learning process. It provided a structure{{U}} (41) {{/U}}which you can
make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self. But it also gives you a
chance to individualize a school assignment, to{{U}} (42) {{/U}}a piece
of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others{{U}} (43)
{{/U}}you can do. Writing a research paper is more than just a classroom
exercise. It's an experience in{{U}} (44) {{/U}}out, understanding and
synthesizing, which forms the basis of many skills{{U}} (45) {{/U}}to
both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, a discovering education. So, to
produce a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly{{U}} (46)
{{/U}}experience! To some, the thought of having to write an
assigned number of pages, often more than ever produced{{U}} (47)
{{/U}}, is disconcerting. To others, the idea of having to work{{U}}
(48) {{/U}}is threatening. But there's no need to approach the
research paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research
paper as an obstacle to{{U}} (49) {{/U}}. Instead, consider it a goal
to{{U}} (50) {{/U}}, a goal within
reach.
【答案解析】短语搭配题。根据空格所在句中的accidentally和a sudden，可知run into“偶然发现”最符合句意。go in for“参加，从事”；catch at“想抓住，渴望获得”；come on to“开始，兴盛”，均不符合文意。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】名词语义题。前面提到了思想和信息，后面的定语成分又提到fitting together... information(整合信息)，working through a problem(解决问题)，这里只有insight“洞察力，领悟”合乎题意。relaxation“放松，娱乐”； enchantment“迷惑，着迷，魔法，魅力”；relief“解脱”，均不合题意。
