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.
【C2】
选项
A、modes
B、sources
C、transformations
D、engines
答案
D
解析
从were praised as(被称赞为)可推断,大学对于经济增长和技术进步(economic growth and technological advance)起到积极的作用。D项engines意为“发动机”。此处可理解为“动力”,符合语义逻辑。A项modes“模式”,大学为经济增长和技术进步提供智力支撑,但不是模式。B项sources“来源,起源”,大学对经济发展有一定的促进作用,但不足以成为经济增长的来源。C项transformations“转变”,说大学是经济发展和技术进步的转变,语义不通顺。
