3.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.

  • 第1题:

    It can be inferred that Charles Francis Adams ,Jr.

    [A] devoted his later years to classical education.

    [B] was an advocate of education in history.

    [C] was an opponent to classical education.

    [D] regretted diminishing the importance of the distinction.


    正确答案:C
    59.C【精析】该题为细节加推理题。根据第三段第四句“…Charles Francis Adams,Jr,...devoted his later years to writing history...” 我们知道,小查尔斯·弗兰西斯·亚当斯在晚年致力于历史写作,故A项错误;根据第三段第四句“...Charles Francis Adams, Jr., the Union Pacific Railroad president who devoted his later years to writing history...”我们知道,小查尔斯·弗兰西斯·亚当斯是太平洋铁路联盟的主席,在晚年时期致力于历史写作,由此我们可以推断出他之所以谈论到教育问题,只是将其作为其历史写作的一部分,这并不能说明他是历史上的教育倡导者,故不选择B 项;根据第三段第四句中…They felt,’said regretfully Charles Francis Adams, Jr.,…‘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 impor- tance of this distinction was essentially revolutionary and tended to anarchy.”’我们知道,小查尔斯·弗兰西斯·亚当斯遗憾地说道: “他们认为古典教育是区别一个人有没有受过大学教育的重要标准,而且还认为对这个标准的抹杀从根本上来说都是在制造革命,并且很可能陷入混乱。”因此,我们可以判断出小查尔斯·弗兰西斯·亚当斯对古典教育持反对观点,故选择C项;根据C项的分析,我们知道小查尔斯·弗兰西斯·亚当斯对上世纪大学教授认为古典教育是区别一个人有没有受过大学教育的重要标准的观点表示遗憾,而非对区别标准的抹杀表示遗憾,故D项错误。

  • 第4题:

    Text 1 The decision of the New York Philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment in 2009.For the most part,the response has been favorable,to say the least.“Hooray!At last!”wrote Anthony Tommasini,a sober-sided classical-music critic.One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise,however,is that Gilbert is comparatively little known.Even Tommasini,who had advocated Gilbert’s appointment in the Times,calls him“an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him.”As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez,that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.For my part,I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one.To be sure,he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions,but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall,or anywhere else,to hear interesting orchestral music.All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf,or boot up my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes.Devoted concertgoers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point.For the time,attention,and money of the art-loving public,classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses,dance troupes,theater companies,and museums,but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century.There recordings are cheap,available everywhere,and very often much higher in artistic quality than today’s live performances;moreover,they can be“consumed”at a time and place of the listener’s choosing.The widespread availability of such recordings has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert.One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record.Gilbert’s own interest in new music has been widely noted:Alex Ross,a classical-music critic,has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into“a markedly different,more vibrant organization.”But what will be the nature of that difference?Merely expanding the orchestra’s repertoire will not be enough.If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed,they must first change the relationship between America’s oldest orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract.23.The author believes that the devoted concertgoers

    A.ignore the expenses of live performances.
    B.reject most kinds of recorded performances.
    C.exaggerate the variety of live performances.
    D.overestimate the value of live performances.

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题考查作者对于现场音乐会虔诚的追随者的观点。第四段开头作者提到,devoted concertgoers认为“录音不能代替现场表演”,但作者认为devoted concertgoers are missing the point(现场音乐会虔诚的追随者没有切中要害),之后是论据,用来支持作者的观点,作者认为These recordings are cheap,available everywhere,and very often much higher in artistic quality tha

  • 第5题:



    It can be inferred from the passage that( )

    A.Dickens’s hatred toward London grew with his age
    B.Dickens ’s works contributed to some of the changes of London
    C.Dickens liked to portray only the dark sides of London
    D.Dickens,a social reformer,was devoted to the changes of London

    答案:B
    解析:
    推断题。A项“狄更斯对于伦敦的怨恨与日俱增”,文章第一段就提到伦敦给予了他许多情感,不只是负面的情感,后文又提到现代人们将其对于伦敦的情感称作是love/hate relationship,所以A项的表述错误。C项“狄更斯只喜欢刻画伦敦的阴暗面”,这一表述过于绝对化,所以很显然也是错误的,文章最后几段就有提到他对于伦敦积极一面的描绘。D项“作为社会改革家,狄更斯致力于伦敦的改变”,这一表述夸大了狄更斯的角色,狄更斯更多是通过自己的小说来关注社会现实,警醒人们积极改善不好的方面,所以D项也排除。B项提到“狄更斯的作品有助于伦敦的一些改善”,这是相对于D项更为客观的表述。
