Cognitive (認識派的) researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on 　(37) 　and gifts from others.

　　2017四級選詞填空練習(xí)題：【答案】

　　36.【解析】L。由can得知此處填動詞原形。第一段主要提出了行為學(xué)家和認知派研究專家對于額外獎勵的不同看法，因此可以推出此處應(yīng)填與destroy意思相反的動詞，選項有improve和aid，但能與performance構(gòu)成動賓搭配的只有improve，故排除aid，選improve。

　　37.【解析】I。由空格后的and gifts可知此處應(yīng)填名詞。認知派研究專家認為，由于獎勵助長了人們期望、從別人那得到——和物質(zhì)獎勵的心理，而往往會破壞創(chuàng)造力，因此，選項中只有approval“認同”符合題意。

　　38.【解析】 F。此處應(yīng)填副詞?？蛇x項有g(shù)enerally和especially，但從文章后面所舉的例子來理解，此處是為了突出強調(diào)教育家支持認知派研究專家的看法，因此只有especially“尤其，特別”符合題意。

　　39.【解析】J。此處應(yīng)填形容詞修飾rewards。由But轉(zhuǎn)折可知此句表明的觀點與認知派研究專家的觀點“物質(zhì)獎勵有害”相反，因此可以推出此處應(yīng)填的形容詞是表示“物質(zhì)獎勵”意思的詞，選項中只有monetary符合題意。

　　40.【解析】 G。此處應(yīng)填動詞。由But轉(zhuǎn)折可知，此處表明的觀點與前者即行為學(xué)家所持的觀點一致，原文為“適當(dāng)?shù)亟o予獎勵刺激確實——創(chuàng)造力”，選項中只有aid“有助于(刺激)”符合題意。

　　41.【解析】M。此處應(yīng)填形容詞修飾task。從原文來看，如果孩子們知道他們在為獲得獎勵而努力，并能專注于相對——的任務(wù)，他們就會表現(xiàn)出很大的創(chuàng)造力，因此只有challengin9符合題意。

　　42.【解析】 C。由it its easy to d0結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)填動詞原形。由此句中But轉(zhuǎn)折與前一句中show the most creativity可以推出，此處應(yīng)填的詞應(yīng)與show the most creativity表達的意思相反，且與destroy意思相近，故選項中只有kill符合題意。

　　43.【解析】H。此處應(yīng)填形容詞修飾achievement0由此句中high grades和uninspired可以推出此處應(yīng)填的詞應(yīng)與high形成對比，故只有ordinary符合。

　　44.【解】 N。由空格前的and可知，此處應(yīng)填動詞，與tighten構(gòu)成并列?？蛇x項有avoid和restore，但由tighten可推出，既然是使評分標準嚴格，那么就會有高分和低分，也會有不及格，故只有restore“恢復(fù)”符合題意。avoid“避免(不及格)”不符合原文意思。

　　45.【解析】B。很明顯此處應(yīng)填名詞作shows的賓語。原文為“實行所謂象征性獎勵，在努力提高學(xué)生創(chuàng)造力方面有——，”可選項有promise和hope，而hope是人主觀的愿望、希望，但此處強調(diào)的是“…… 有實現(xiàn)的可能性，有前景”，故排除hope而選promise。
