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)
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.
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)
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.
(48)
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.
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)
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.
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)
And to do it intelligently one must know something of its causes and cures—why adults need education and what, if anything, they can do about it.
选项
答案
我们的学校最应该做的事就是教给孩子们学习的本领,培养他们热爱学习,为他们在以后的生活中不断学习做好准备。这正是我们的学校应做而未做的事情。
解析
前一个句子中有两个不定式结构,for our schools to do作thing的定语;to prepare直到句子结束,是一个完整的不定式短语,作整个句子的表语,在这个不定式短语中,by之后的成分作不定式的方式状语。词汇方面,very"(加强语气)就是,正是"。例如:That’s the very thing I’ve been looking for.(那正是我要找的东西)。prepare for"为…准备"。例如:Working on a part-time basis can prepare them for a future career.(业余打工为大学生将来的职业做好准备)。
