What makes a full man? According to Francis Bacon, the celebrated English Philosopher, the only factor by which a "full man" can be made is reading.
A "full man" may be defined as one who has a mind filled with ideas, or one who is stocked with knowledge. But how can such ideas or knowledge be obtained? Can they be obtained through a college or university education? The function of a college or university is to prepare a young man to enter into the world. In order to do so, it must fill the young minds with a certain amount of ideas and knowledge. But to think that the ideas and knowledge thus imparted make a "full man" is a mistake. Evidently no one can say that he is a "full man" because he is a graduate of a certain college or university.
Then can such ideas and knowledge be obtained through experience? Indeed, from experience we get new ideas and knowledge. But to suppose that ideas and knowledge thus acquired make a "full man" is also a mistake. A carpenter’s experience is different from a smith’s and a smith’s is different from a carpenter’s. If experience can make a "full man ", is it the carpenter’s or the smith’s experience that makes the "full man"?
Thus we see that the real factory by which a "full man" is made is neither education nor experience; it is reading. By reading scientific treatises(论文), we are informed of many facts; by reading geography, we know the earth’s surface, forms, physical features etc; by reading history, we are told of the growth of the nations. With eyes we can see, with ears we can hear. But at a distance, small objects can hardly be distinguished by naked eyes, and ordinary sounds are not audible (听得见的)to our ears without a transmitter. It is by reading that we can know many things without actually seeing and hearing them. Besides, a fair knowledge of what the world is thinking and doing can only be acquired by reading the newspapers and magazines. Therefore, no matter how high our education may be, or how much experience we may have, we can not become a "full man" unless we keep on reading. [br] The word "imparted" (Sentence 6. Para.2) most probably means ______.
选项
A、separated
B、contained
C、acquired
D、given
答案
D
解析
根据上下文,可推断出它的意思为“获得”或“给予”。如果是“获得”,动作的发出者是学生:如果是“给予”,动作的发出者则是大学。再根据前一句,“it(大学)must fill the young minds with a certain amount of ideas and knowledge”,可推断 imparted的意思应为“给予”。
