Universities are in a seemingly self-contradictory position. As Stefan Collini points out in his book, these ancient【C1】________have never been so numerous or so important They receive more public money than they ever did. They are praised as the【C2】________of economic growth and technological advance.【C3】________they are frequently defensive and troubled, attacked by politicians and【C4】________a clear sense of purpose and direction.
Mr Collini, professor of the University of Cambridge, is eager to rebuild their【C5】________. Universities, he says, "【C6】________a home for attempts to extend and deepen human understanding in ways which are,【C7】________, disciplined and free." It is the side-effects of this activity that public debate has seized【C8】________: the impact on the student’s capacity for understanding, or on a country’s development of new technologies.【C9】________these are not the core purpose of a university.
In making his case, Mr Collini rejects the definition of Clark Kerr, the president of the University of California, who【C10】________a university as "a series of individual faculty entrepreneurs held together by a common resentment over parking".【C11】________he goes back to Cardinal Newman. Newman has a way with words: "A university training is the great ordinary means to a great but ordinary end; it aims at raising the intellectual tone of society… It is the education which gives a man a clear,【C12】________view of his own【C13】________ and judgments, a truth in developing them, an eloquence in【C14】________them and a force in urging them."
Mr Collini is moved by Newman’s insistence that a liberal education is not about what students learn or what skills they【C15】________but "the perspective they have on the place of their knowledge in a wider【C16】________of human understanding".
Universities will always feel the【C17】________between the intellectual purity that Mr Collini demands and the【C18】________business of picking and preparing the future middle class.【C19】________these two roles is the mark of a great university. Indeed, the stress created by these【C20】________roles is what helps even the most ordinary academic retain some independence of thought and intellectual energy.
【C6】
选项
A、need
B、provide
C、bring
D、build
答案
B
解析
本句的宾语是a home for attempts to…human understanding(拓展和深化人类认知各种努力的一片土壤),这是大学的一个作用,空格处所填单词应能体现大学的这种作用。B项provide意为“提供”。符合语义逻辑。A项need“需要”,大学本身具有为各种努力提供土壤的作用,而不是需要。C项bring“带来”,表示“为……带来……”时一般与to搭配,但此处是for。D项build“建立,建造”,与home搭配主要是指建立家庭,不符合此处语境。
