Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us "the truth". We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers can’t be bad for us.
However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors’ own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing.
If your premises (前提) are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: Professors don’t tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think.
On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.
To help students develop their critical thinking, professors mainly teach them ______.
选项
A、choice of their premises
B、the way to think independently
C、skills of drawing conclusions
D、different kinds of argument
答案
B
解析
第三段第二句说明,大多数教授希望学生们学会识别自己论述的前提,检查自己是否真正同意这些前提,以及了解自己是否能够得出合理的结论;最后一句是总结,告诉我们教授教的不是思考的内容而是思考的方式(how to think)。B项的think independently(独立思考)能与文章的表述相呼应,为正确答案。
