Question

Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will  1.  (probable) say that they go to learn languages，arithmetic，history, science and some other knowledge．That is quite true；but why do they learn these things?

    We send our children to school to prepare them for the time   2.  they will be big and will have to work for  3.  ．Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life．But is that   4.  only reason why they go to school?

    There is more in education than just  5. (1earn)facts．We go to school to learn how to learn，so that when we have left school we can continue to learn．A man  6.   really knows how to learn will always be successful，because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, he will also be able to teach others  7.   to do it in the best way．The  8.   (educate)person，on the other hand，is either unable to do something new，or just  9.  (do) it badly．The purpose of schools，therefore，is not to teach languages，arithmetic，history science，etc．，   10.  to teach pupils the way to 1eam．

【解析】

试题分析：文章讲述的是上学的原因，孩子们上学不仅是为了学习语言、数学、历史等知识，更重要的是学会如何学习。

1.修饰动词say用副词，所给词是形容词，其副词形式是probably。故填probably。

2.the time是先行词，指时间，定语从句不缺成分，故填when。

3.for oneself亲自，孩子长大后要工作来养活自己。故填themselves。

4.the only way唯一一种原因，故填the。

5.than前后要保持一致，education是名词，故用动名词，故填learning。

6.A man是先行词，定语从句缺少主语，故填who。

7.how to do sth任何做某事，故填how。

8.根据on the other hand可知，是说的相反的情况，uneducated未接受教育的，故填uneducated。

9.主语person是第三人称单数，故填does。

10.考查固定搭配。not...but...不是......而是......。故填but。

考点：主谓一致；定语从句；副词；冠词
