注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 1  上作答。

When most people think of the word “education”，they think of a pupil as a sort of animate  sausage casing. Into this empty  casting, the teachers (26)_________ stuff “education.”But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not  (27)_________the  stuffing  of  information  into  a  person,  but  rather  eliciting knowledge from him; it is the (28)_________ of what is in the mind.

“The most important part of education,” once wrote William Ernest Hocking,the (29)_________ Harvard philosopher, “is this  instruction of a man in what he has inside of him.”

And, as  Edith Hamilton has reminded  us, Socrates never  said, “I know,  learn from me。” He said, rather, “Look into your own selves and find the  (30)_________ of the truth that God has put into every heart and that only you can kindle (点燃) to a (31)_________.”

In  a   dialogue,  Socrates   takes  an  ignorant   slave  boy,   without  a   day  of(32)_________, and  proves to  the amazed observers  that the  boy really  “knows”geometry—because the principles  of geometry are already in his mind,  waiting to be called out.

So many of the discussions and (33)_________about the content of education are useless and  inconclusive because  they  (34)_________ what  should “go  into” the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done.

The college  student who once  said to me, after  a lecture, “I  spend so much time  studying  that   I  don’t  have   a  chance  to  learn   anything,”  was  clearly expressing his (35)_________with the sausage casing view of education.
