问题     Albert Einstein once attributed the creativity of a famous scientist to the fact that he "never went to school, and therefore preserved the rare gift of thinking freely". There is undoubtedly truth in Einstein’s observation. Many artists and geniuses seem to view their schooling as a disadvantage. But such a truth is not a criticism of schools. It is the function of schools to civilize, not to train explorers. The explorer is always a lonely individual whether his or her pioneering be in art, music, science, or technology. The creative explorer of unmapped lands shares with the genius what William James described as the "faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way". Insofar as schools teach perceptual patterns they tend to destroy creativity and genius. But if schools could somewhat exist solely to cultivate genius, then society would break down. For the social order demands unity and widespread agreement, both traits are destructive to creativity. There will always be conflict between the demands of society and the impulses of creativity and genius.  
There will always be contradiction between ______.
选项 A、the demands of society and schooling
B、cultivation of creativity and faculty of perceiving
C、social unity and schooling
D、creativity and widespread social agreement
答案D
解析 创造性和广泛的社会认同之间总是存在着矛盾。根据最后一句，社会需要和创造力的冲动以及天才之间总存在着冲突。
