Question

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a   1  problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error.?  2  ,?when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six   3  in analyzing a problem.

  4  the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken,  and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must   5  that there is a problem with his bicycle.

Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must   6  the parts that are wrong.

Now the person must look for   7  that will make the problem clearer and lead to   8  solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes.  9  ,he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes,  10  his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.

After   11  the problem, the person should have   12  suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example   13  ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.

In the end, one   14  seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the   15  idea comes quite   16  because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a  17   way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He   18  hits on the solution to his problem: he must  19  the brake.

Finally the solution is   20  .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

Answer 1

1--20   CDCAD   BDADB    DCBAC    ABDAC   

解析:

1.從上文的提示“try to remember a solution from the last time”，表明人們一旦遇上類似的問題，首先想到的是上次碰到這類問題的解決辦法。只有問題“類似”，才會(huì)想到“上一次”的辦法。

 2.下文用however表示轉(zhuǎn)折，表明作者觀點(diǎn)：有時(shí)靠老辦法往往不靈，于是人們便開始分析問題，尋找新的解決途徑。

 3.從下文的列舉看，作者講的是解決問題的六個(gè)階段，且層層深入(stage：a period in a course of events)，而不是在闡述解決問題的六個(gè)辦法、條件、順序。

 4.下文next，finally等表明作者在列舉分析問題、解決問題的幾個(gè)步驟，故填first(首先)，與下文呼應(yīng)。

 5.作為分析的第一步，Sam必須查看自行車的毛病出在哪兒。see在此的含義是：examine or recognize by looking。

 6.determine在這里意為“斷定、確定”的意思，因?yàn)橹挥袛喽�哪個(gè)部分有問題，才會(huì)找到針對(duì)性的解決辦法。

 7.下文he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes，talked to his friends at the bike shop，表明Sam是在查找有關(guān)自行車修理的資料和信息。

 8.此時(shí)的解決方案尚未確定，故只能是possible solutions，下文a possible solution有暗示。

 9.at this time表示Sam斷定車閘出了毛病的同時(shí)即查找修理車閘的資料。

 10.此處用talk to表明Sam與自行車店的朋友通過交談了解修理自行車車閘的有關(guān)資料、信息。

 11.上文Sam所做的一切均屬于studying(學(xué)習(xí)、研究)的行為。

 12.下文所舉的tighten or loosen the brakes；buy new brakes and change the old ones表明此處應(yīng)填several。

13. 作者再次以Sam修自行車為例，說明確定問題所在之后如何解決問題，有一些意見、建議可供選擇。

 14.上文表明有一些建議可供選擇，但最終導(dǎo)致解決問題似乎只有其中的一條。

 15.從下文舉例看，有時(shí)導(dǎo)致解決問題最后的主意純屬意外。

 16.上文提到Sam解決自行車車閘問題有幾條建議可供選擇：擰緊或放松車閘，買新車閘，更換舊車閘，這時(shí)Sam突然發(fā)現(xiàn)車閘不靈的原因是一塊口香糖將車閘粘住了，最終導(dǎo)致解決問題的辦法便是意料之外了。

 17.車閘問題的意外發(fā)現(xiàn)使Sam立即采取了完全不同的解決辦法(既非擰緊或放松車閘，亦非更換車閘)。

 18.發(fā)現(xiàn)了問題的癥結(jié)所在，解決問題便當(dāng)機(jī)立斷，毫不遲疑。

19. 既然口香糖粘住了車閘，只需清洗干凈就可解決問題。

 20.Sam的解決辦法經(jīng)過“檢驗(yàn)(test)”獲得了成功，他的問題解決了。
