He was a funny looking man with a cheerful face, good-natured and a great talker. He was described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as "the best and most just and wisest man." Yet, this same man was condemned to death for his beliefs.
The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, and he was condemned for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.
Socrates method of teaching was to ask questions and, by pretending not to know the answers, to press his students into thinking for themselves. His teaching had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy. Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.
Socrates encouraged new .ideas and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the conservative people. They wanted him silenced. Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.
Socrates had the right to ask for a lesser penalty, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him. But Socrates, as a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to submit to the death sentence. So, he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison hemlock (毒人参) in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.
By mentioning that Socrates himself never wrote anything, the writer implies that______.
选项
A、it was surprising that Socrates was so famous but had published no work.
B、Socrates was not so learned as he is reputed to have been
C、Socrates used the work of his students in teaching
D、the authorities refused to publish Socrates’ works
答案
A
解析
本题考查推断。第二段最后一句提到无数的来自文明世界的年轻人都拜师于他的门下,就是因为他的学识以及下一段所提到的教学方法。所以排除B、C两项。第三段最后一句Yet,for all his fame and influence,Socrates himself never wrote a word.暗示“他如此知名却从未写过东西是令人吃惊的。因此,选项A正确。D项的答案文中未提到。
