4.Text 4Jill Ker Conway ,president of Smith ,echoes the prevailing view of contemporary technology when she says that " anyone in today's world who doesn't understand data processing is not educated. " But she insists that the mcreasing emphasis on these matters leave certain gaps. Says she: "The very strongly utilitarian emphasis in education ,which is an effect of man-made satellites and the cold war, has really removed from this culture something that was very profound in its 18th and 19th century roots ,which was a sense that literacy and learning were ends in themselves for a demo- cratic republic. "In contrast to Plato's claim for the social value of education,a quite different idea of intellectu-al purposes was advocated by the Renaissance humanists. Ovejoyed with their rediscovery of the classical leaming that was thought to have disappeared during the Dark Ages,they argued that the imparting of knowledge needs no justification-religious ,social ,economic ,or political. Its purpose,to the extent that it has one ,is to pass on from generation to generation the corpus of knowledge that constitutes civilization. "What could man acquire ,by virtuous striving ,that is more valuable than knowledge?" asked Erasmus ,perhaps the greatest scholar of the early 16th century. That idea has acquired a tradition of its own. "The educational process has no end beyond itself," said John Dewey. "It is its own end. "But what exactly is the corpus of knowledge to be passed on? In simpler times ,it was all included in the medieval universities' Quadrivium ( arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music ) and Trivium( grammar, thetoric ,logic). As recently as the last century ,when less than 5% of Americans went to college at all, students in New England establishments were compelled mainly to memorize and recite various Latin texts,and crusty professors angrily opposed the introduction of any new scientific discoveries or modern European languages. "They felt," said regretfully Charles Francis Adams, Jr. ,the Union Pacific Railroad president who devoted his later years to writing history ,"that a classical education was the important distinction between a man who had been to college and a man who had not been to college ,and that anything that diminished the importance of this distinction was essentially revolutionary and tended to anarchy. "56. The first paragraph shows that Jill Ker Conway accepts utilitarian emphasis in education[A] wholeheartedly.[B] with reservation.[C] against her own will.[D] with contempt.

参考答案和解析
正确答案: D
解析:
分析推理题。由第一段第二句可知,但Jill Kerr Conway坚持认为,随着这些观点的不断强化,也带来了一些问题。由于前一句说明她讲的“不懂数据处理的人没有受过教育”是在赞同当下实用主义观点,而这一句又对该观点进行了修正。即她对实用主义教育观点是有保留地赞同,故B项为正确答案。A项意为“全心全意地”。C项意为“违心地”。D项意为“轻蔑地”。

    B

    Jill Kerr Conway

    C

    scholars in the Dark Ages

    D

    Plato


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    分析推理题。短本文第二段论述了文艺复兴时期的人文主义者的教育观点。他们认为,知识的传授不需要宗教、社会、经济或政治理由,其目的仅仅是将知识整体代代传承下去。还引用Erasmus和John Dewey的话,说明教育的目的就是教育本身。而由该段首句可知,柏拉图是反对这种观点的,故D项为正确答案。由该段第二句的前半句可知,人们认为人文知识(classical learning)在“黑暗时代”消失了,并不能推知这一时代的学者是否反对“为教育而教育”的观点。

    C

    People cannot do without computers and the Internet

    D

    正确答案: B
    解析:
    推理判断题。本题询问第一段表明什么。根据文章第一段的第一句和第二句话分别表明,电脑使美国人的生活变得更加美好,但是电脑化趋势也存在一些危险,由此可知电脑化既有其优点也有其缺点,故D项正确。第一段中虽然提到电脑化的危险,但并没有强调人们发掘电脑化趋势危险的必要性,故选项B不符合文意。A项与文章中心无关,C项过于绝对,都应排除。

  • 第13题:

    Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?

    [A] Democratic ideas started with education.

    [B] Federalists were opposed to education.

    [C] New education helped confirm people’s social status.

    [D] Old education had been in tune with hierarchical society.


    正确答案:D

    本题是推理引申题。文章第一段第一句指出,随着19世纪上半叶民主权利的扩展以及随之而来的联邦主义机构的削弱,一种新的教育观念出现了。接下来的内容主要是围绕这种新的教育观念展开论述。从第一句话中可以得知,是民主权利的扩展带来了新的教育观念的产生,[A]项颠倒了二者的先后顺序,应排除。文中提到“新”的教育观念是在联邦主义机构削弱的情况下产生的。由此只能得出,新的教育观念与联邦主义有些冲突,并不能得出联邦主义者反对整个教育即[B]项的结论。第二句作者指出,教育不再是对人们先前存在的地位的确定,而成了获得更高地位的手段。[C]项与文意相悖,因此不正确。通过该句“不再”(no longer)可以推断出,从前的教育可以确定人们的社会地位,因此[D]项为正确答案。

  • 第14题:

    I think a good star should ___________ love his or her own county.

    A.at all
    B.in all
    C.first of all
    D.after all

    答案:C
    解析:
    A项,根本、究竟;B项,总共;C项,首先;D项,毕竟、终究。由整个句子的情况可以推测该句应理解为“我认为一个好的明星应该首先爱他(她)自己的祖国。”因此可以推出此题应选C项。

    解析:

    【主题句】第2自然段In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. 1849年,从医科学校毕业后,她决定去巴黎继续深造。

    The first paragraph implies that ______.
    A

    there is a conflict between laws and public opinions on the purpose of education.

    B

    the moral purpose of education varies in form with the social situation.

    C

    Greeks and the medieval Church had the same moral purpose in education.

    D

    the moral purpose of education is to advocate religious beliefs.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    推理判断题。根据题干信息定位到第一段第三句“In today’s world,the moral purpose of education takes non—religious forms:racial integration,sex education,good citizenship”,由此可知,在当今世界,道德教育采取非宗教形式:种族融合、性教育以及公民教育,从而可以判断出在不同时代社会状况下,道德教育的形式也不一样,故B选项正确;同时 D项意为教育的道德目的是为了拥护宗教信仰,陈述过于片面和绝对,故排除;第一段第一句只是提及美国最高法院禁止公立学校举行祈祷仪式,并不代表法律和公众在教育目的的观点上存在矛盾,曲解文意,故A项错误;第一段第二句提到“It is an idea common to both the Greeks and the medieval Church”,即希腊和中世纪的教会都认同道德教育应该是教育的目的之一,并不能转述为两者道德教育的目的一致,故C项错误。

    D

    with contempt


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    分析推理题。由第一段第二句可知,但Jill Kerr Conway坚持认为,随着这些观点的不断强化,也带来了一些问题。由于前一句说明她讲的“不懂数据处理的人没有受过教育”是在赞同当下实用主义观点,而这一句又对该观点进行了修正。即她对实用主义教育观点是有保留地赞同,故B项为正确答案。A项意为“全心全意地”。C项意为“违心地”。D项意为“轻蔑地”。
