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.
【C1】
选项
A、associations
B、civilizations
C、institutions
D、architectures
答案
C
解析
本句中的these指代前面提到的universities,因此空格处所填单词应和universities意思相近。C项institutions“机构,学府”,指大学这个古已有之的教育机构。A项associations意为“协会,社团”,大学不属于协会或社团。B项civilizations意为“文明”,大学只是文明的一部分,该词语义过于宽泛。D项architectures意为“建筑”,与前面的universities不呼应。
