Ⅱ.完型填空（共25小题，每小题1分；满分25分）

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从26-50各题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。

    People do not analyse every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a _26   problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without _27   ;they try to find a solution by trial and error. _28   ,when all of these methods _29   ,the person with a problem has to start analysing. There are six _30  in analysing a problem.

    _31 the person must recognise 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 _32  that there is a problem with his bicycle.

    Next the person must _33  the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must _34  the parts that are wrong.

    Now the person must look for 35_ that will make the problem clearer and lead to _36  solutions. For example, suppose Sam _37 that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. _38  he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, _39  his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.

    After _40  the problem, the person should have _41 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example _42  , his suggestions might be: tighten¹ or loosen² the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.

    In the end, one _43 seems to be the solution _44 the problem. Sometimes the _45_ idea comes quite 46_ because the thinker suddenly sees something in a _47 way. Sam ,for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He _48  hits on the solution to his problem: he must _49 the brake.

    Finally the solution is _50 . Sam does it and finds his bicycle works³ perfectly⁴. In short he has solved the problem.
