art as something thats pleasing to our senses without a full understanding ofthe creative effort.Great art often shows us contradictions and crises,and we can learn a great deal from theirresolutions(解决).Through our understanding of art,we can gain a deeper understanding of how we mightovercome our own challenges.In understanding extremes of contrast,we can see the beauty in art with themesthat are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos.He composed hisSymphony No.9 as his

and about 85 percent of all the higher education officials said they wereeither designing a CBE program at their school or were considering doing so.Students in a CBE program choose a central field of study,just as they would at a traditional college oruniversity.Yet instead of attending a series of classes led by professors or teaching assistants at schools,thestudents study online and direct themselves.CBE programs require students to show their understanding of a given set of sills Students must prove theirmastery of skills that relate to their field of choice by taking related exams.Once they have met all therequirements of their study programs,the students will get their degrees.CBE programs have made use of many new technologies,especially internet and online media.This helpsreduce barriers for nontraditional and other students by bringing higher education to them.And programs thatpermit students to work at their own speed may save students money by reducing the time it takes for them toearn a degree.But some educators have concerns about the value of the education that CBE programs offer.Johann NeematWesternWashingtonUniversityargues that the purpose of higher education is not simply to help students mastercertain skills.It should teach students how to think critically(批判性地)understand the subjects they are studyingmore deeply and see how they are connected to other subjects.Only that way can they put the knowledge tobetter use.He said,“You need to explore,think.get shaken,have a conversation and struggle.Andthose things taketime.”Instead of supporting

spend longer time completing the degree courses.D.College students should be challenged to explore around their subjects.10.How does Johann Neems attitude toward CBE programs?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Sympathetic.D.Uncaring.11.What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A.To press policy-makers to provide more affordable education.B.To show the
