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.
【C19】
选项
A、Playing
B、Distinguishing
C、Reconciling
D、Assessing
答案
C
解析
本句中的表语是the mark of a great university(杰出大学的标志),如果一所大学里纯粹教育和为学生日后成功就业而准备总是存在尖锐矛盾,无法调和的话,则难称之为杰出。因此成为杰出大学的前提是能处理好这两个角色之间的关系。C项Reconciling有“调解,调和”之意。符合语义逻辑。A项Playing与roles搭配后表示“扮演……角色”,D项Assessing意为“评估”,扮演或评估这两个角色还是不能处理它们之间的矛盾关系。B项Distinguishing意为“区分”,大学并不是不能区分这两个角色,而是没有处理好它们间的矛盾关系。
