单选题 Our generation has made such immense discoveries and achieved such undreamed enrichments of the outside of life, that it has lost touch with the inside of life. It has forgotten the true riches and beauties of its spiritual inheritance: riches and beauties that go far beyond our modern chatter about values and ideals. The mind's search for more breadth has obscured the heart's craving for more depth. Once again man has become the dupe of his own cleverness. And because it is difficult to attend to more than a few things at a time, we leave out a great range of experiences which comes in by another route and tells us of another kind of life. Our interest rushes out to the farthest limits of the universe, but we seldom take a sounding of the ocean beneath our restless keels. We get, therefore, a queer feeling that we are leaving something out. Knowledge has grown; but wisdom, savoring the deep wonder and mystery of life, lingers far behind. Thus the life of the human spirit, which ought to maintain a balance between the world visible and the world invisible, is thrown out of gear.
单选题 Which of the following may best serve as the title of the passage?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】解析:主旨题。文中第一句就讲到,我们这一代人已经取得了如此巨大的发现,并且获得了物质世界中难以想象的富足,以至于忽略了我们的精神世界。后面又说,我们智力的追求更加宽广,但却模糊了心灵对深度的渴求。最后又讲到,知识是增长了,可是在对生命的奇美奥妙的感悟方面,我们的智慧却徘徊不前,严重滞后。因此,本来应该在客观世界与主观世界之间保持平衡的精神生活陷于脱节。据此可知,本文最适宜的标题是“人类的心灵与才智”,所以正确答案是C。
