问题    There is an immense and justified pride in what our colleges have done. At the same time there is a growing uneasiness about their product. The young men and women who carry away our degrees are a very attractive lot — in looks, in bodily fitness, in kindliness, energy, courage, and buoyancy.【R1】______That too is in some ways admirable; for in spite of President Lowell’s remark that the university should be a repository of great learning, since the freshmen always bring a stock with them and the seniors take little away, the fact is that our graduates have every chance to be well informed, and usually are so.【R2】______When it becomes articulate, it takes the form of wishes that these attractive young products of ours had more intellectual depth and force, more freedom from trouble and worry in dealing with the different ideas, more of the firm, clear, quiet thoughtfulness that is a very potent and needed guard against fraudulence and deception which exist around them and keep harassing them constantly.【R3】______Firstly, granting that our graduates know a good deal, their knowledge lies about in fragments and never gets welded together into the stuff of a tempered and mobile mind. Secondly, our university graduates have been so busy boring holes for themselves, acquiring special knowledge and skills, that in later life they have astonishingly little in common in the way of ideas, standards, or principles. Thirdly, it is alleged that the past two decades have revealed a singular want of clarity about the great ends of living, attachment to which gives significance and direction to a life.【R4】______My argument will be simple, perhaps too simple. What I shall contend is that there is a great deal of truth in each of them, and that the remedy for each is the same. 【R5】______
   A. Yet the uneasiness persists.
   B. It is larger infusion of the philosophic habit of mind.
   C. But what of their intellectual equipment?
   D. Our colleges have failed.
   E. Here are three grave charges against American education, and I want to discuss them briefly.
   F. The complaint commonly breaks itself up into a list of three particulars.
【R1】
选项
答案C
解析 本题的答题关键是空格后一句中的“That”。另外，仔细阅读前一句，可以发现这里罗列了年轻人的各种优势，唯独没有提到空格后一句中重点讲到的“知识能力”这一方面，由此可见，这两句之间需要一个过渡和连接。
