正确答案： B
解析：
分析推理题。由第三段第二句可知，在中世纪这样较为简朴的时代，知识总体指的是大学所教授的四学科（算术、几何、天文和音乐）和三学科（语法、修辞和逻辑）。由此可知，这个时期的大学已经在进行课程教授，因此教育传授知识的观点可追溯到这一时代。故B项为正确答案。

  • 第1题：

    Text 4

    Jill Ker Conway ,president of Smith ,echoes the prevailing view of contemporary technology when she says that " anyone in today's world who doesn't understand data processing is not educated. " But she insists that the mcreasing emphasis on these matters leave certain gaps. Says she: "The very strongly utilitarian emphasis in education ,which is an effect of man-made satellites and the cold war, has really removed from this culture something that was very profound in its 18th and 19th century roots ,which was a sense that literacy and learning were ends in themselves for a demo- cratic republic. "

    In contrast to Plato's claim for the social value of education,a quite different idea of intellectu-al purposes was advocated by the Renaissance humanists. Ovejoyed with their rediscovery of the classical leaming that was thought to have disappeared during the Dark Ages,they argued that the imparting of knowledge needs no justification-religious ,social ,economic ,or political. Its purpose,to the extent that it has one ,is to pass on from generation to generation the corpus of knowledge that constitutes civilization. "What could man acquire ,by virtuous striving ,that is more valuable than knowledge?" asked Erasmus ,perhaps the greatest scholar of the early 16th century. That idea has acquired a tradition of its own. "The educational process has no end beyond itself," said John Dewey. "It is its own end. "

    But what exactly is the corpus of knowledge to be passed on? In simpler times ,it was all included in the medieval universities' Quadrivium ( arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music ) and Trivium( grammar, thetoric ,logic). As recently as the last century ,when less than 5% of Americans went to college at all, students in New England establishments were compelled mainly to memorize and recite various Latin texts,and crusty professors angrily opposed the introduction of any new scientific discoveries or modern European languages. "They felt," said regretfully Charles Francis Adams, Jr. ,the Union Pacific Railroad president who devoted his later years to writing history ,"that a classical education was the important distinction between a man who had been to college and a man who had not been to college ,and that anything that diminished the importance of this distinction was essentially revolutionary and tended to anarchy. "

    56. The first paragraph shows that Jill Ker Conway accepts utilitarian emphasis in education

    [A] wholeheartedly.

    [B] with reservation.

    [C] against her own will.

    [D] with contempt.

    正确答案：D
    57．D【精析】该题为细节题。根据第二段第一句和第二句“In contrast to Plato's claim for the social value of education,a quite different i— dea of intellectual purposes was advocated by the Renaissance hu- manists. Overjoyed with...they argued that the imparting of knowl- edge needs no justification-religious, social, economic, or politi- cal．”我们知道，柏拉图认为教育应该具有社会价值，而文艺复兴时期的人文主义者持有与柏拉图完全不同的观点，提出知识的传授不应该具有宗教、社会、经济、政治目的，由此我们可以推断出，文艺复兴时期的人文主义者同意“教育只为教育而生”即“educa- tion for education’s sake”的观点，而柏拉图持相反的观点，选项C 在文中没有提到；根据对第56题的分析可知，吉尔·克尔·康维虽支持实用主义教育，但仍认为它有一些欠缺。综合考虑，最有可能反对“教育的目的就是教育本身。”的是柏拉图，故选择D 项’。 ．

    Education for education’s sake was probably opposed by ______.
    A

    scholars in the Renaissance period

    B

    Jill Kerr Conway

    C

    scholars in the Dark Ages

    D

    Plato


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    分析推理题。短本文第二段论述了文艺复兴时期的人文主义者的教育观点。他们认为，知识的传授不需要宗教、社会、经济或政治理由，其目的仅仅是将知识整体代代传承下去。还引用Erasmus和John Dewey的话，说明教育的目的就是教育本身。而由该段首句可知，柏拉图是反对这种观点的，故D项为正确答案。由该段第二句的前半句可知，人们认为人文知识（classical learning）在“黑暗时代”消失了，并不能推知这一时代的学者是否反对“为教育而教育”的观点。

  • 第23题：

    单选题
    _____, the new president is more likely to give economic and trade issues priority over foreign policy.
    A

    The cold war being over

    B

    the cold war had over

    C

    With the cold war was over

    D

    With the cold war has been over


    正确答案： C
    解析：
    句意：随着冷战的结束，这位新上任的总统更有可能把经济贸易问题摆在首位，而不是对外政策。句中因为分词being over的逻辑主语与后句主语president不一致，故使用“名词＋分词”的独立主格结构。
