问题     We can see how every philosopher reflects the social life of his day. Plato and Aristotle, in the slave-owning society of ancient Greece, thought man’s highest state was contemplation【C1】______than activity. In the Middle Ages, St. Thomas believed in a regular【C2】______ system of nine ranks of angles. Herbert Spencer, in the time of【C3】______ competition between capitalists, found the key to progress in the【C4】______of the fittest. Thus Marxism is seen to【C5】______into its place as the philosophy for the workers.
    The study of philosophies should make our own ideas【C6】______. We are all of us【C7】______ to take certain general ideas for granted, and call them common【C8】______. We should learn that other people have held quite different ideas, and that our own have started as very【C9】______guesses of philosophers.
    A scientist is apt to think that all the problems of philosophy will ultimately be solved by science. I think this is 【C10】______ for many questions. For example Plato thought that when we saw something, one【C11】______ of light came to it from the sun, and another from our eyes. We now know that light comes from the sun, and is【C12】______into our eyes. We don’t know in much【C13】______ how the changes in our eyes give rise to 【C14】______. But there is every reason to think that as we learn more about the 【C15】______of the brain, we shall do so, and that the great philosophical problems about knowledge and will are going to be pretty fully【C16】______up.
    But if our【C17】______ know the answers to these questions and others which【C18】______ us today, there will still be one field of which they do not know,【C19】______ the future. Philosophy may be described as argument about things of which we are【C20】______. [br] 【C1】
选项 A、more
B、rather
C、less
D、better
答案 B
解析 短语辨析题。四个选项都可以和than搭配，但意义不同：more than“多于，不只……”；rather than“而不是……”；less than“少于”；better than“比……更好”。由常识可知，古希腊哲学家认为人类的最高境界是冥想而不是行动，所以[B]rather是答案。
