46、里要選擇A或C，再根據(jù)下文即可看出A是正確選擇，即“后一種觀點”。注意latter與later的區(qū)別。2.A.engineersB.educatorsC.expertsD.mathematicians答案:B此空要結(jié)合此空所在句子后面的句子來進行選擇。后面句子中講到的是學(xué)校的孩子們，所以此空要填入educators最為恰當(dāng)，即B。3.A.bringsB.generatesC.producesD.sparks答案:D此空的選擇要結(jié)合此空所在句子前面的句子來進行選擇。前面句子講到后一種觀點即外部獎賞常常毀掉創(chuàng)造性的觀點有眾多的支持者，之后文中筆鋒一轉(zhuǎn)(這種筆鋒的轉(zhuǎn)折體現(xiàn)在“But”一詞上)，也即說

47、之后的內(nèi)容肯定是說外部獎賞有益于激發(fā)創(chuàng)造力，因而此題要選擇D，即sparks。generate的意思是“發(fā)生(電、熱、光、力、摩擦力等)，引起，導(dǎo)致”。produce的意思是“生產(chǎn)；引起，招致”。spark的意思是“發(fā)出火花，點燃；發(fā)動；激勵，鼓舞”。4.A.linkingB.beingC.suggestingD.supposing答案:C這里要選擇一個現(xiàn)在分詞，這里選擇C，即suggesting最為恰當(dāng)，這是對前面所說內(nèi)容的進一步說明。5.
