问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. For more than 40 years, a controlling insight in my educational philosophy has been the recognition that no one has ever been -- no one can be -- educated in school or college. 46) {{U}}That would be the case if our schools and colleges were at their very best, which they certainly are not, and even if the students were among the best and the brightest as well as conscientious in the application of their powers{{/U}}. The reason is simply that youth itself -- immaturity -- is an unconquerable obstacle to becoming educated. Schooling is for the young. Education comes later, usually much later. 47) {{U}}The very best thing for our schools to do is to prepare the young for continued learning in later life by giving them the skills of learning and the love of it. Our schools and colleges are not doing that now, but that is what they should be doing{{/U}}. 48) {{U}}To speak of an educated young person or of a wise young person, rich in the understanding of basic ideas and issues is as much a contradiction in terms as to speak of a round square{{/U}}. The young can be prepared for education in the years to come, but only mature men and women can become educated, beginning the process of their 40s and 50s and reaching some amount of genuine insight, sound judgment and practical wisdom after they have turned 60. This is what no high school or college graduates know or can understand. As a matter of fact, most of their teachers do not seem to know it. 49) {{U}}In their obsession with covering ground and in the way in which they test or examine their students, they certainly do not act as if they understood that they were only preparing their students for education in later life rather than trying to complete it within the realms of their institutions{{/U}}. There is, of course, some truth in the ancient insight that awareness of ignorance is the beginning of wisdom. But, remember, it is just the beginning. From there on one has to do something about it. 50) {{U}}And to do it intelligently one must know something of its muses and cures -- why adults need education and what, if anything, they can do about it{{/U}}.

问答题On August 18th U.S. News＆ World Report released its 2009 rankings of America's top colleges. The survey began in 1983 as an informal poll, when the magazine asked 662 college presidents to identify the country's best places of learning. It has since evolved into an annual trial for reputable universities. A strong showing in the rankings spurs student interest and alumni (校友) giving; a slip has grave consequences for public relations. University administrators deeply dislike the survey. Many reject the idea that schools can be stacked up against one another in any meaningful way. But whether the rankings are fair is beside the point, because they are widely influential. In the 1983 survey barely half of the presidents approached bothered to respond. Today, only a handful dare ignore it. Most, in fact, do more than simply fill out the survey. Competition between colleges for top students is increasing, partly because of the very popularity of rankings.

问答题我们这次到英国看得最多的不是教堂、雕塑、花园，而是政府出资建造的经济房。每到一个城市，陪伴我们参观的小李都不时地指着车窗外的一些高低不一的建筑说：看，这是经济房。经济房自然是给穷人准备的，到处都有此类住房，不由地让我们产生了这样的感觉：英国怎么有这么多的穷人啊?不过英国的穷人不是我们想象的那种饥寒交迫，满街乞讨的可怜之人。相反，有些小日子过得挺滋润。我们在街头见过一些弹着吉他，吹着风笛，或者拉着提琴的所谓卖艺者。从服饰上看，一点没有破破烂烂的模样，看脸上的气色，不能说红光满面，起码也是健康正常肤色，再看手里的乐器，都是半新甚至全新的科技产品。小李告诉我们，别看这些人在瑟瑟秋风的街头演奏，但绝不是为了几个钱。想跟他们拍照，愿意给两个零钱就给，不给也没关系。言外之意：人家并不指望着靠施舍过日子。 (注：选自王溱的文章《看你想学什么》。无需翻译此注)

问答题There is one last question I must deal with in this chapter. Why should human beings be moral? Another way of putting the problem is as follows. Is there any clear foundation or basis for morality? Can any reasons be found for human beings to be good and do right acts rather than he bad and do wrong acts? I have already pointed out the difficulties involved in founding morality on religion, and especially on religion as a safe factor. (1) However, if a person has religious faith, then he or she does have a foundation for a personal morality, even though this foundation is basically psychological rather than logical in nature. What disturbs me about the use of religion as the foundation of morality is the frequently-made assumption that if there is no supernatural or religious basis for morality, then there can be no basis at all. A related, and perhaps deeper, statement is that there can be no real meaning to human life. unless there is some sort of afterlife or some other extra-natural reason for living. (2) It is obvious that for many individuals this is psychologically true. that is, they feel that their existence has meaning and purpose and that they have a reason for being moral if and only if there is a God, an afterlife, or some sort of religion in their lives. I feel that we must respect this point of view and accept the conviction of the many people who hold it, because that is how they feel about life and morality. It is also obvious, however, that many people do not feel this way. (3) I think it is terribly presumptuous of religious believers to feel that if some people do not have a religious commitment, their lives are meaningless, or that such people have no reason for being moral in their actions. But if religion does not necessarily provide a "why" for morality, then what does? Let us assume for a moment that there is no supernatural morality and see if we can find any other reasons why people should be moral. Enlightened Self-Interest One can certainly argue on a basis of enlightened self-interest, that it is, at the very least, generally better to be good rather than bad and to create a world and society that is good rather than one that is bad. As a matter of fact, self-interest is the sole basis of one ethical theory, ethical egoism. I am not, however, suggesting at this point that one ought to pursue one's own self-interest. I am merely presenting the argument that if everyone tried to do and be good and to avoid and prevent bad, it would be in everyone's self-interest. For example, if within a group of people no one killed, stole, lied, or cheated, then each member of the group would benefit. (4) An individual member of the group could say, "It's in my self-interest to do good rather than bad because I stand to benefit if I do and also because I could be ostracized or punished if I don't. " Therefore, even though it is not airtight, the argument from enlightened self-interest is a somewhat compelling one. Argument from Tradition and Law Related to the foregoing argument is the argument from tradition and law. This argument suggests that because traditions and laws, established over a long period of time, govern the behavior of human beings and because these traditions and laws urge human beings to be moral rather than immoral, there are good reasons for being so. (5) Self-interest is one reason, but another is respect for the human thought and effort that has gone into establishing such laws and traditions and transferring them from one historic period and one culture to another. This can be an attractive argument, even though it tends to suppress questioning of traditions and laws—a kind of questioning that is, I feel, the very touchstone of creative moral reasoning. It is interesting to note that most of us probably learned morality through being confronted with this argument, the religious argument, and the experiences surrounding them. Don't we all remember being told we should or should not do something because it was or was not in our own self-interest, because God said it was right or wrong, or because it was the way we were supposed to act in our family, school, society, and world?
