阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从21~30各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。
When a baby sees a ball, the baby may reach out for it. If the baby is very young, and you 21 the ball behind a pillow (枕头), then the ball 22 exists for the child. As the child grows older, the child will move the pillow to get the ball. Even though the child cannot see the ball, the ball still exists. This is an early example of “learning to see the 23 ”.
Just about all of us have 24 , so we all think we can see. But, in 25 we are all blind to probably 99% of the world. Because 26 people realize this, few people make the attempt to learn more in order to see more. Just like a child, what we don’t see doesn’t exist. 27 , because most of us are blind to 99% of the world, we rely on others to give us the answers. We willingly allow doctors, lawyers, priests, and politicians to tell us what to do or think, but they take no responsibility when the results go wrong. Commercial（商业的）television, radio, newspapers, and magazines are largely corporate (法人的) owned, profit driven, and focus more on distraction（娱乐）and misinformation than on education. Yet, we continue reading, watching and listening to commercial media under the illusion（错觉）that we are learning. Corporate media is education with blinders. They only show you the 28 picture, and, in this way, they control public opinion. 29 needs to turn to noncommercial television, radio, and Internet world news to get the big picture. Everyone needs to know more in order to 30 the political spin and lies. 21. A. put 22. A. still

本文讲述学习是为了看到未知的。人类虽有眼睛，但对世界上99%的事物熟视无睹。几乎很少人认识到这一点。人们都有依赖心理，我们依靠别人给我们答案。商业媒体大都是利益驱使，更多聚焦在娱乐或误传，很少关注教育。Corporate (法人的) media is education with blinders.。人人都需要非商业的媒体以获得the big picture。 21. A. 根据文章，把球“放”到枕头下，婴孩就认为没有球了。 22. C. 因no longer意思是“不再”。其他选项逻辑不符。
23. B. 上下文告诉我们，教育就是学习“未知的，看不见的”Education is learning to see the
invisible.
24. D. 眼睛才能“see”。
25. B. 因in reality意思是“实际上，事实上”。in return是“作为回报”，in short是“简言之”，
in case是“以防万一”。根据上下文，选Ｂ。 26. B. 根据后句的排比，逻辑上应该选Ｂ。
27. A. most of us are blind to 99% of the world是一件不幸的事。
28. B. 根据Corporate (法人的) media is education with blinders. They only …和and Internet
world news to get the big picture.的对应关系，应该选little。 29. A. 下一句的排比可以帮助我们作出判断。
30. C. 因see through是“看清，了解”，因为作者建议我们turn to noncommercial media for

Life on Land probably began about 430 millions years ago, though it has existed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange 31 coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been 32 if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They 33 the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity, since then,
