From the founding of Harvard College in 1636 until the Civil War, American university education was mostly about sending pious and hopefully well-read gentlemen forth into the world. As Louis Menand, a Harvard English professor and literary critic, has written, what Americans think of as the university is of【C1】______recent vintage. In 1862 the Morrill Act created land-grant universities, broadening opportunities for those for whom college had been a【C2】______impossibility. Menand and other historians of collegiate curriculums【C3】______that at Harvard in 1869, Charles William Eliot became president and created a culture in which the bachelor’s degree became the key credential for【C4】______professional education — a culture that came to【C5】______the rest of the American academy. The 19th century also saw the rise of the great European research university; the German model of scholar-teachers who educated undergraduates while【C6】______their own research interests moved across the【C7】______.
The notion that a student should graduate with a broad base of knowledge is, in Menand’s words, "the most modern part of the modern university." It was only after World War I, in 1919,【C8】______Columbia College undertook a general-education course, called Contemporary Civilization.【C9】______reading classic texts — from Plato’s Republic to The Prince to the Declaration of Independence, with the Bible and Edmund Burke thrown in【C10】______— and discussing them in the context of enduring issues in human society, every student was【C11】______to engage with ideas that formed the mainstream of the American mind. The【C12】______for the move reflected a larger social and cultural concern with【C13】______the children of immigrants into American culture. Robert Maynard Hutchins【C14】______a similar approach at the University of Chicago. The courses were not about rote memorization; they were(and are) 【C15】reading followed by discussion. They were(and are)required of all students, something that【C16】______Columbia and Chicago apart from many other colleges — and still does.
World War II helped【C17】______the Harvard Report of 1945, an effort by America’s oldest college to provide a common cultural basis not only for its elite students but also for the rising middle class. Students were【C18】______to read, for example, the great books. As the decades【C19】______, however, the assumption that there was a given body of knowledge or a given set of authors that had to be learned or read came【C20】______cultural and academic attack. Who was to say what was great? Why not let teachers decide what to teach and students decide what to study?
【C12】
选项
A、impact
B、implication
C、impetus
D、imperative
答案
C
解析
上面说美国大学生必须阅读很多经典,渐渐地就接触到美国的主流文化。这个运动的推动力反映社会和文化所关切的事就是将移民者的孩子融人美国文化。这个题意决定我们只能选impetus意思是“推动力”,如:the primary impetus behind the economicrecovery促进经济复苏的主要推动力。His enthusiasm is an impetus for the team.他的热情对全队是一种鼓舞;impact意思是“冲击力;影响”,后面跟介词on;implication是“隐含的意思”;imperative作名词的意思是“必要的事;需要”,如:It is an imperative ofnational policy.这是一项国策性的必要措施。
