Universities are in a seemingly self-contradictory position. As Stefan Collini points out in his book, these ancient【C1】________have never been so numerous or so important They receive more public money than they ever did. They are praised as the【C2】________of economic growth and technological advance.【C3】________they are frequently defensive and troubled, attacked by politicians and【C4】________a clear sense of purpose and direction.
Mr Collini, professor of the University of Cambridge, is eager to rebuild their【C5】________. Universities, he says, "【C6】________a home for attempts to extend and deepen human understanding in ways which are,【C7】________, disciplined and free." It is the side-effects of this activity that public debate has seized【C8】________: the impact on the student’s capacity for understanding, or on a country’s development of new technologies.【C9】________these are not the core purpose of a university.
In making his case, Mr Collini rejects the definition of Clark Kerr, the president of the University of California, who【C10】________a university as "a series of individual faculty entrepreneurs held together by a common resentment over parking".【C11】________he goes back to Cardinal Newman. Newman has a way with words: "A university training is the great ordinary means to a great but ordinary end; it aims at raising the intellectual tone of society… It is the education which gives a man a clear,【C12】________view of his own【C13】________ and judgments, a truth in developing them, an eloquence in【C14】________them and a force in urging them."
Mr Collini is moved by Newman’s insistence that a liberal education is not about what students learn or what skills they【C15】________but "the perspective they have on the place of their knowledge in a wider【C16】________of human understanding".
Universities will always feel the【C17】________between the intellectual purity that Mr Collini demands and the【C18】________business of picking and preparing the future middle class.【C19】________these two roles is the mark of a great university. Indeed, the stress created by these【C20】________roles is what helps even the most ordinary academic retain some independence of thought and intellectual energy.
【C9】
选项

C、Since
D、But
答案
D
解析
上句讨论大学因奉行其作为拓展和深化人类知识的各种努力的场所而产生的副作用,本句提到产生的这些不良后果都不是大学的核心目标(not the core purpose of a university)。言下之意,虽然奉行这样的原则会产生这些副作用,但却不影响到大学的核心目标,两句含转折关系。选D项But。A项so“所以,因此”,表示结果。B项And“和,而且”,表示递进。C项Since“因为,由于”,表示原因。且不独立成句。
