指點迷津

　　1.It must also have been reassuring to know [that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines], and [that one was not quite alone, confronted by inquisition, ridicule or neglect].在本句中，兩個方括號里“that”引導的從句都是“know”賓語。

　　2.In addition one must recognize the very considerable multiplication of disciplines, particularly in the sciences, [which (by widening the total area of advanced studies) has produced an enormous number of specialists (whose particular interests are precisely defined)].在本句中，方括號里“which”引導的定語從句修飾“thevery considerable multiplication of disciplines”;該從句的謂語動詞是“has produced”;該從句中還包含了一個由“whose”引導的定語從句修飾“specialists”。

　　試題精析

　　1.選C.本題為主要細節正誤題。第一段第二句說“'academic mobility' is now often stated in impressive terms as a fundamental necessity for economic and social progress in the world”，由此可知，人們認為“學術流動”非常重要，C選項與其意思一致;D選項為干擾項，由第一段可推斷“going abroad in search of the best teacher”只是“學術流動”的表現之一，并不是它的含義。

　　2.選A.本題為詞義推斷題。“eccentric”在文中作名詞，指“古怪的人;有怪癖的人”，所以A選項為正確的答案。

　　3.選B.本題為觀點態度推斷題。從第二段最后一句可推斷，當一位學者和他的同事分享其想法觀點時，他知道“one was not quite alone”，他會得到對他的成就的認可。

　　4.選D.本題為主要細節正誤題。第三段最后一句說“……the aeroplane, making contact between scholars even in the most distant places immediately feasible……”，D選項與其意思一致。
