Education is one of the key words of our time. A man, without an education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of unfortunate circumstances deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modern states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, is punctuated by textbooks — those purchasable wells of wisdom — what would civilization be like without its benefits?
So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births; but our spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on " facts and figures" and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and on the capacity of a man to get along with his fellow citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form of "college" imaginable. Among the people whom we like to call savages all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect everybody is equally equipped for life.
It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to reach again. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding on all. There are no "illiterates" — if the term can be applied to peoples without a script — while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1976, and is still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we considered it necessary to make sure that all our children should share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries.
Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry that, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present attention of his parents; therefore the jungles and the savages know of no "juvenile delinquency(违法行为)". No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to "buy" an education for his child.
Those purchasable wells of wisdom mentioned in the first paragraph are______.
选项
A、education
B、cycles of instruction
C、circumstances
D、textbooks
答案
D
解析
根据题干信号词purchasable wells of wisdom以及出处提示in the first paragraph可回文定位到首段尾句Education,with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out,is punctuated by text—books—those purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization belike without its benefits.(教育,拥有精心设计的教学周期,又由教科书——那些可以购买到的智慧源——加以强化,倘若没有这些好处,文明会是什么状态呢),故此处为本题目的“题眼”。根据指示代词those的指代关系(指代对象通常在上文)以及句子结构分析可知,purchasable wells of wisdom与破折号前面的text-books是同位语关系,在逻辑上语义等同,因此本题答案是D。
