第24题单选修改

　　阅读下列短文,回答{TSE}题目.

　　Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知识库) which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman ( 工匠 ) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them. But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens, and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (术语). Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject.

　　Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, of old country customs, of folklore (风俗). All this is very diffi- cult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness.

　　{TS}In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to_______

　　A. personal experience

　　B.wild weeds among good plants

　　C.the information from the parents

　　D.the vast store of traditional practices

　　参考答案：D

　　参考解析：参考译文

　　读书不是获得以前作品中知识的唯一途径。还有一个大的知识库，那就是经验。大学生们发现每个工匠都有一些东西可以传授。只要他们不会看不起那些工匠们.工匠们就很乐意把自己所知道的传授给他们。他们所做的示范以及对所发生的事情的解释通常都是正确的，即使那些解释不是用规范的科学术语表述出来的。不久，大学生们会去学习接受什么或者拒绝什么。

　　另一个知识的来源就是由父亲传给儿子或者母亲传给女儿的各种传统的风俗习惯。但是这些对于大学生来说都是很难检验的。因为许多知识以及个人经验都是需要进行好坏区分的。大学生应该学会了解并记住科学在这一广阔、杂乱的领域中所发掘到的真正有价值的东西。

　　答案及解析
