【答案解析】

24.【答案】B。解析：考查形近词辨析。句意：我们必须扪心自问，这对于基础教育是否真的像我们想象的那么重要。consume消耗，花费;resume恢复，重返;summarize总结，概括。assume假定，设想，认为，最符合句意。故本题选B。

25.【答案】D。解析：考查动词短语辨析。句意：这并不意味着我要把它从富人那里拿走，交给穷人。take it away from sb. 从某人处拿走某物，为固定词组。take up开始从事;占用，花费(时间、空间或精力)，take on承担，接受;呈现;take in理解;欺骗。结合语境可知，正确答案为D。

26.【答案】C。解析：考查固定搭配。句意：早在17世纪的英格兰，天文学就提出了记录时间的方法，这对精确导航尤其有用。keep track of记录，固定用法。check检查，trace踪迹，investigate调查，都与句意不符。故本题选C。
