单选题1 Scholars and students have always been great travelers. The official case for "academic mobility" is now often stated in impressive terms as fundamental necessity for economic and social progress in the world, and debated in corridors of Europe, but it is certainly nothing new. Serious students were always ready to go abroad in search of the purest philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold. 2 Mobility of this kind meant also mobility of ideas, their transference across frontiers, their simultaneous impact upon many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it, whether with students or with colleagues. It must also have been reassuring to know that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines, and that one was not quite alone, confronted by inquisition, ridicule or neglect. 3 In the twentieth century, and particularly in the last 20 years, the old footpaths of the wandering scholars have become vast highways. The vehicle Which has made this possible has of course been the aeroplane, providing for the very rapid transmission of knowledge. 4 Apart from the vehicle itself, some main factors are purely quantitative and require no further mention, there are far more centers of learning, and a far greater number of scholars and students. 5 In addition one must recognise the very considerable multiplication of disciplines, particularly in the sciences, which by widening the total area of advanced studies has produced an enormous number of specialists whose particular interests are precisely defined. These people would work in some isolation if they were not able to keep in touch with similar isolated groups in other countries. Associated with this is the growth of specialist periodicals, which enable scholars to become aware of what is happening in different centers of research and to meet each other in conferences and symposia. From these meetings come the personal relationships which are at the bottom of almost all formalized schemes of co- operation, and provide them with most satisfactory stimulus. 6 But as the specializations have increased in number and narrowed in range, there has been an opposite movement towards interdisciplinary studies. These owe much to the belief that one cannot properly investigate the incredibly complex problems thrown up by the modern world and by recent advances in our knowledge along the narrow front of a single discipline. This trend has led to a great deal of academic contact between disciplines, and far greater emphasis 0n the pooling of specialist knowledge, reflected in the broad subjects chosen in many international conferences.
单选题{{B}}TEXT C{{/B}} Greece, economically, is
in the black. With very little to export other than such farm products as
tobacco, cotton and fruit, the country earns enough from "invisible earnings" to
pay for its needed, growing imports. From the sending out of things the Greeks,
earn only $285 million; from tourism, shipping and the remittances of Greeks
abroad, the country takes in an additional $375 million and this washes out the
almost $400 million by which imports exceed exports. It has a
balanced budget. Although more than one drachma out of four goes for defense,
the government ended a recent year with a slight surplus—$66 million. Greece has
a decent reserve of almost a third of a billion dollars in gold and foreign
exchange. It has a government not dependent on coalescing incompatible parties
to obtain parliamentary majorities. In thus summarizing a few
happy highlights, I don't mean to minimize the vast extent of Greece's problems.
It is the poorest country by a wide margin in Free Europe, and poverty is
widespread. At best an annual income of $60 to $70 is the lot of many a peasant,
and substantial unemployment plagues the countrysides, cities, and towns of
Greece. There are few natural resources on which to build any substantial
industrial base. Some years ago I wrote here: "Greek
statesmanship will have to create an atmosphere in which home and foreign
savings will willingly seek investment opportunities in the back ward economy of
Greece. So far, most American and other foreign attempt have bogged down in the
Greek government's red tape and shrewdness about small points."
Great strides have been made. As far back as 1956, expanding tourism
seemed a logical way to bring needed foreign currencies and additional jobs to
Greece. At that time I talked with the Hilton Hotel people, who had been
examining hotel possibilities, and to the Greek government division responsible
for this area of the economy. They were hopelessly deadlocked in almost total
differences of opinion and outlook. Today most of the incredibly
varied, beautiful, historical sights of Greece have new, if in many cases
modest, tourist facilities, Tourism itself has jumped from approximately$31
million to over $90 million. There is both a magnificent new Hilton Hotel in
Athens and a completely modernized, greatly expanded Grande Bretagne, as well as
other first-rate new hotels. And the advent of jets has made Athens as
accessible as Paris or Rome—without the sky-high prices of traffic-choked
streets of either.

单选题Mr Duffy raised his eyes from the paper and gazed out of his window on the cheerless evening landscape. The river lay quiet beside the empty distillery and from time to time a light appeared in some house on Lucan Road. What an end! The whole narrative of her death revolted him and it revolted him to think that he had ever spoken to her of what he held sacred. The cautious words of a reporter to conceal the details of a commonplace vulgar death attacked his stomach. Not merely had she degraded herself; she had degraded him. His soul's companion! He thought of the hobbling wretches whom he had seen carrying cans and bottles to be filled by the barman. Just God, what an end! Evidently she had been unfit to live, without any strength of purpose, an easy prey to habits, one of the wrecks on which civilization has been reared. But that she could have sunk so low! Was it possible he had deceived himself so utterly about her? He remembered her outburst of that night and interpreted it in a harsher sense than he had ever done. He had no difficulty now in approving of the course he had taken. As the light failed and his memory began to wander he thought her hand touched his. The shock which had first attacked his stomach was now attacking his nerves. He put on his overcoat and hat quickly and went out. The cold air met him on the threshold; it crept into the sleeves of his coat. When he came to the public-house at Chapel Bridge he went in and ordered a hot punch. The proprietor served him obsequiously but did not venture to talk. There were five or six working-men in the shop discussing the value of a gentleman's estate in County Kildare. They drank at intervals from their huge pint tumblers, and smoked, spitting often on the floor and sometimes dragging the sawdust over their heavy boots. Mr Duffy sat on his stool and gazed at them, without seeing or hearing them. After a while they went out and he called for another punch. He sat a long time over it. The shop was very quiet. The proprietor sprawled on the counter reading the newspaper and yawning. Now and again a tram-was heard swishing along the lonely road outside. As he sat there, living over his life with her and evoking alternately the two images on which he now conceived her, he realized that she was dead, that she had ceased to exist, that she had become a memory. He began to feel ill at ease. He asked himself what else could he have done. He could not have lived with her openly. He had done what seemed to him best. How was he to blame? Now that she was gone he understood how lonely her life must have been, sitting night after night alone in that room. His life would be lonely too until he, too, died, ceased to exist, became a memory -- if anyone remembered him.
