B.support the thesis of the author that literature broadens our understanding and stretches our faculties
C.point out that constitutional law is a part of the great literature of our past
D.show that everyone，including judges，enjoys reading答案：B解析：例证题。根据题干关键词Judge Hand可定位到第六段及第五段第二句Additionally，however，it has been suggested that solutions of social problems may be suggested in the study ofliterature，由此可知，引用Judge Hand的话的原因是证明优秀作品有利于拓展我们的理解，提高我们的能力。A、C两项只是Judge Hand举的部分例子，并不是作者举例的原因。故本题选B。参考译文：反对过于严苛，或过于精炼的经典课程，一些教育哲学家已经完全赞同将“生活体验”作为学习的唯一来源。他们对约翰·杜威的教育思想做出狭义的阐释，基于这种阐释，他们总结出，只有通过“做”才能学习知识。有这样的一句习语，“教孩子学习，而不是学科”。他们认为，不需要感受学习的无聊，阻止枯燥学习的方法是打开学习之门。尽管不完全遵守这个方法都可能让人们彻底摒弃阅读优秀书籍，但这种思想已经影响了公立学校的课程，比如重要的文学课程逐渐降到次要位置。文学的目的是什么？如果生活是我们的老师，为什么要读文学？詹姆斯·乔伊斯说，艺术家通过从生活中重新创造生活的方法来揭示人类的境遇；亚里士多德说，艺术显示了普遍真理，因为它的形式来源于大自然。因此，伟大的作家有意识或无意识地热情地阐释了人类的处境，将我们的理解范围拓展到了我们所处的世界之外。我们能够和作家一起感受人类欲望的制高点，或者跌入悲剧的深渊。斯坦贝克、安徒生以及塞林格的作品，惠特曼、桑德伯格以及弗罗斯特的诗歌，易卜生、米勒以及奥尼尔的戏剧：所有的作品都是生活问题的真实写照。现实？是的！但是我们通过阅读获得的对生活的理解与我们通过对生活的窥探而获得的经验相比，道理深刻了不知多少倍。年轻读者与汤姆和哈克一起在密西西比河冒险，或者，为与黑骑士战斗时的艾凡赫喝彩；成熟读者对威廉·福克纳与田纳西·威廉姆斯的南方悲剧和帕特里克·怀特的澳大利亚开拓者的最佳决定以及挫败，有着的深刻理解，我们能够衡量出他们在阅读过程中收获有多大吗？文学扩展我们生活圈的功能，本身就是十分重要的。此外，社会问题也可以在文学作品中得到解决。政治领导人的自负野心——对法律的蔑视——在伯恩斯坦和伍德沃德的作品中首次没有出现；充满了罪恶的问题和最终行动，并没有受到20世纪心理分析学家的责难。联邦法官勒恩德·汉德曾写道，“我宁愿相信评判宪法中的问题，与认识苏维切德、吉本、凯雷、荷马、但丁、莎士比亚、弥尔顿、蒙田、拉伯雷、柏拉图、培根、休谟、康德，并阅读一些书，特别是相同专题的书同样重要。类似于这些事情，每件事都会转向处理这些问题的思想上”。但是，我们的反对者呢？我们能够克服反对的声音，接受他们的“生活体验教室”的学习理论吗？我们必须赞同——教育应该服务于提高自身和社会。我们必须通过教育让他们理解人类的经验应该延伸我们人类的官能，让我们全心全意地去学习。我们必须使他们相信——可能在他们自身的语言中——生活和艺术的“融合”；我们必须向他们证明，尽管分离，但是艺术仍然是生活的一部分，它照亮了我们的生活。 -

第17题：
单选题The author believes that the enjoyment of literature comes from ______.Ashock
Ban anticipation of phrase
Cthe originality of the thought
Dingeniousness
正确答案： B解析：
语义的理解和判断。根据录音中提到的“so that we are led to foresee, to expect, and to welcome the successive phrase. The pleasure may be heightened by…”，可知在艺术家的引导下，我们会去预测，期待并乐于接受后续语句，从而得到一种愉悦。而这种愉悦可能会因……得以加强。由此可知，对文学的享受来自于对后续语句的期待。因此选项B为正确答案。
【录音原文】
Music and literature, the two temporal arts, contrive their pattern of sound in time; or, in other words, of sounds and pauses. Communication may be made in broken words, the business of life be carried on with substantive alone; but that is not what we call literature; and the true business of the literary artist is to plait or weave his meaning, involving it around itself; so that each sentence, by successive phrases, shall first come into a kind of knot, and then, after a moment of suspended meaning, solve and clear itself. In every properly constructed sentence there should be observed this knot or hitch; so that we are led to foresee, to expect, and to welcome the successive phrase. The pleasure may be heightened by an element of surprise, as, very grossly, in the common figure of the antithesis, or with much greater subtlety, where an antithesis is first suggested and then deftly evaded. Each phrase, besides, is to be comely in itself; and between the implication and the evolution of the sentence there should be a satisfying equipoise of sound; for nothing more often disappoints the ear than a sentence solemnly and sonorously prepared, and hastily and weakly finished. Nor should the balance be too striking and exact, for the one rule is to be infinitely various; to interest, to disappoint, to surprise, and yet still to gratify; to be ever changing, as it were, the stitch, and yet still to give the effect of an ingenious neatness. -
