问题                          The Role of Religion in Korean Higher Education
      It is widely believed that religious traditions, such as Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism and Christianity, had great effects on the entirety of Korean culture and society. Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism were amalgamated into Korean culture and became, in the main, axes of Korean traditional religious thought, in addition to Korean folk beliefs and shamanism. From an educational point of view, Buddhism and Confucianism had a significant impact on formal and informal elite education in the early Korean states and still remains important. Taoism, on the other hand, has affected internal and external life as opposed to Korean education. Christianity, a newly grafted religion, has also exerted an important influence upon the development of modern higher education. Therefore, the parameters of the study are Buddhism, Confucianism and Christianity.
     Throughout the history of Korean education, religion and education are inseparable. The examination of the role of religion in Korean higher education gives Western educators historically valuable ideas about religious components in Korean higher education. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the role of religion in Korean elite and higher education during the premodern and modern periods. In this study, "premodern era" is defined as the fourth century to the late nineteenth century, and "modern period" from 1880 to 1910.
     Numerous studies have shown that religious thought has affected the spiritual and practical worlds in premodern and contemporary Korea. However, several studies examining the influence of religions and philosophical thought on Korean education indicate that three religious traditions -- Buddhism, Confucianism and Christianity -- had an enormous impact on premodern and modern education in Korea.
     In terms of Korean educational history and philosophy, there are few studies that examine the religious and philosophical ideas that historically affect Korean higher education.  Kim briefly analyzes the basic philosophy and organization of Korean higher education, and Lee reviews religious and philosophical factors influencing the development of Korean higher education in terms of educational administrative theory and practice. Studies concerning the role of religion in premodern elite and modern higher education have yet to be conducted. For this reason, this study will focus on the contribution of Buddhism and Confucianism to premodern elite education in Korea, particularly the interaction between Confucianism and Christianity with modern higher education in Korea and on the role of religion in current Korean higher education. [br] Christianity ______.
选项 A、is believed to be a newly grafted religion
B、has influenced the higher education only recently
C、has been opposed to the practice of Confucianism
D、is not compatible with Korean folk beliefs and shamanism
答案 A
解析 根据提问，在第一段里有一句话：Christianity is anewly grafted religion。而选项B错了，因为在本文就是要focus on the contribution of Buddhism and Confucianism to premodern elite education in Korea。此句话证明基督教对韩国教育影响也是由来已久。文章没有就基督教和儒教作对立的比较，而是要去研究两者之间的互动性，particularly the interaction between
