单选题Passage Three It is hard to predict how science is going to turn out, and if it is really good science it is impossible to predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they are by definition unknown in advance. You cannot make choices in this matter. You either have science or you don't, and if you have it you are obliged to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and promptly useful bits. The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illuminating piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far they are from being answered. Because of this, we are depressed. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted. But we are making a beginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can't be answered, sooner or later, including even the matter of consciousness; to be sure, there may well be questions we can't think up, ever, and therefore limits to the reach of human intellect, but that is another matter. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention.

单选题
According to a recent survey on money
and relationships, 36 per cent of people are keeping a bank account from their
partner. While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in a
relationship, in truth it may just be a form of financial protection.
With almost half of all marriages ending in divorce, men and women are
realizing they need to be financially savvy, regardless of whether they are in a
relationship. The financial hardship on individuals after a
divorce can be extremely difficult, even more so when children are involved. The
lack of permanency in relationships, jobs and family life may be the cause of a
growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner; in other
words, an "escape fund" . Margaret's story is far from unique.
She is a representative of a growing number of women in long-term relationships
who are becoming protective of their own earnings. Every month
on pay day, she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from
her husband. She has been doing this throughout their six-year marriage and has
built a nest egg worth an incredible $100000 on top of her pension.
Margaret says if her husband found out about her secret savings he'd hurt
and would interpret this as a sign she wasn't sure of the marriage. "He'd think
it was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the
relationship if it went wrong. I know you should approach marriage as being
forever and I hope ours is, but you can never be sure." Like
many of her fellow secret savers, Margaret was stung in a former relationship
and has since been very guarded about her own money. Coming
clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad. Take
Colleen, for example, who had been saving secretly for a few years before she
confessed to her partner. “I decided to open a savings account and start
building a nest egg of my own. I wanted to prove to myself that I could put
money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy day.” "When
John found out about my secret savings, he was a little suspicious of my
motives. I reassured him that this was certainly not an escape fund and that I
feel very secure in our relationship. I have to admit that it does feel good to
have my own money on reserve if ever there are rainy days in the future. It's
sensible to build and protect your personal financial
security."

单选题Passage One Scholastic thinkers held a wide variety of doctrines in both philosophy and theology, the study of religion. What gives unity to the whole Scholastic movement, the academic practice in Europe from the 9th to the 17th centuries, are the common aims, attitudes, and methods generally accepted by all its members. The chief concern of the Scholastics was not to discover new facts but to integrate the knowledge already acquired separately by Greek reasoning and Christian revelation. This concern is one of the most characteristic differences between Scholasticism and modern thought since the Renaissance. The basic aim of the Scholastics determined certain common attitudes, the most important of which was their conviction of the fundamental harmony between reason and revelation. The Scholastics maintained that because the same God was the source of both types of knowledge and truth was one of his chief attributes, he could not contradict himself in these two ways of speaking. Any apparent opposition between revelation and reason could be traced either to an incorrect use of reason or to an inaccurate interpretation of the words of revelation. Because the Scholastics believed that revelation was the direct teaching of God, it possessed for them a higher degree of truth and certainty than did natural reason. In apparent conflicts between religious faith and philosophic reasoning, faith was thus always the supreme arbiter, the theologians' decision overruled that of the philosopher. After the early 13th century, Scholastic thought emphasized more the independence of philosophy within its own domain. Nonetheless, throughout the Scholastic period, philosophy was called the servant of theology, not only because the truth of philosophy was subordinated to that of theology, but also because the theologian used philosophy to understand and explain revelation. This attitude of Scholasticism stands in sharp contrast to the so-called double-truth theory of the Spanish-Arab philosopher and physician Averroes. His theory assumed that truth was accessible to both philosophy and Islamic theology but that only philosophy could attain it perfectly. The so-called truths of theology served, hence, as imperfect imaginative expressions for the common people of the authentic truth accessible only to philosophy. Averroes maintained that philosophic truth could even contradict, at least verbally, the teachings of Islamic theology. As a result of their belief in the harmony between faith and reason, the Scholastics attempted to determine the precise scope and competence of each of these faculties. Many early Scholastics, such as the Italian ecclesiastic and philosopher St. Anselm, did not clearly distinguish the two and were overconfident that reason could prove certain doctrines of revelation. Later, at the height of the mature period of Scholasticism, the Italian theologian and philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas worked out a balance between reason and revelation.
