　　Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)

　　Section A?

　　Directions:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

　　Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.

　　Children are natural-born scientists. They have   36   minds, and they aren’t afraid to admit they don’t know something. Most of them,   37   lose this as they get older. They become self-conscious and don’t want to appear stupid. Instead of finding things out for themselves they make   38   that often turn out to be wrong

　　So it’s not a case of getting kids interested in science. You just have to avoid killing the    39   for learning that they were born with. It’s no coincidence that kids start deserting science once it becomes formalized. Children naturally have a blurred approach to   40    knowledge. They see learning about science or biology or cooking as all part of the same act-it’s all learning. It’s only because of the practicalities of education that you have to start breaking down the curriculum into specialist subjects. You need to have specialist teachers who   41   what they know. Thus once they enter school, children begin to define subjects and erect boundaries that needn’t otherwise exist.

　　Dividing subjects into science, maths, English ,etc. is something we do for   42  . In the end it’s all learning, but many children today  43   themselves from a scientific education. They think science is for scientists, not for them.

　　Of course we need to specialize  44  . Each of us has only so much time on Earth, so we can’t study everything. At 5 years old, our field of knowledge and  45   is broad, covering anything from learning to walk to learning to count. Gradually it narrows down so that by the time we are 45, it might be one tiny little corner within science.
