Where any of heterodox speculation was for a time suspended, where there is a tacitconvention that principles are not to be disputed: where the discussion of the greatest questionswhich can occupy humanity is considered to be closed, we

Her reasons may be food, andno one may have been able to refute them. But if she s equally unable to refute the reasons of theopposi

The rational position for her would be suspension of judgment, and unless shecontents herself with that, she is either led by authority, or adopts, like the generality of the worldthe side to whic

Nor is it enough that she should heat thearguments of adversaries from her own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompaniedby what they offer as refutations, That is not the way to do justice to the arguments, or bringthem into real contact with her own m

She mustknow them in their most plausible and persuasive form; she must feel the whole force of thedifficulty which the true view of the subject has to encounter a

12、The best title for this passage is A The Age of Reason B The need for Independent Thinking C The Value of Reason D Stirring People’s Minds 2. According to the author, it is always advisable to A have opinions which cannot be refuted. B adopt the point of view to which one feels the most inclin

13、ation. C be acquainted with the arguments favoring the point of view with which one disagrees, D suspend heterodox speculation in favor of doctrinaire approaches. 3. According to the author, in a great period such as the Renaissance we may expect to find A acceptance of truth B controversy over prin

14、ciples C inordinate enthusiasm D a dread of heterodox speculation 4. According to the author, the person who holds orthodox beliefs without examination may bedescribed in all of the following ways EXCEPT as A enslaved by tradition B less than fully rational C determinded on controversy D having a cl

15、osed mind 5. It can be inferred from the passage that the author would be most likely to agree with which ofthe following statements A A truly great thinker makes no mistakes. B Periods of intellectual achievement are periods of unorthodox reflection, C The refutation of accepted ideas can best be p

16、rovided by one’s own teachers. D excessive controversy prevents clear thinking 答案详解： 1. B 独立思索的必要性。见难句译注1。这里说明进行独立思索的人即使犯错误，真理也能从中获得东西，而那些懒于思索人，即使持有正确的观点，真理也难以获得东西。第一段还点明思想禁锢时期，即不能进行独立思索时期，难以商量重大议题，产生不了活跃的人民，绝不会出现像辉煌的文艺复兴那种时期见第二题注。第二段也是围绕独立思索而写，只是从具体点着眼：人只知自己，不知对方无法获得真理，只有独立思索两方，才能不为权威所左右，不会跟着

17、自己感觉走，最终知道自己的真正主见。 A. 理性时代。C.驳斥的价值。D. 激发人民的思想。 2. C 熟识有利于自己不同意/反对观点的论点。这是作者在第二段讲解并描述的重要论点。他认为一个人只知自己一方，推理极好，无人能反对，却不知对方的推理，也不能够予以反对的话，他就无权选择两方的任一论点，其理智位置是停止推断。否则她就会像世界上芸芸众生那样不是为权威所;引导;，就是跟着感觉的倾向走。其二，作者提出：光听自己的老师讲解并描述对立面的论点，以及他们所提出的反对论点。只是不够的，必需倾听那些人他们真正信任对立的观点的论点，并为此主动热情，竭尽全力辩护，才能使自己的思想和独立论点接触，公正的作出

18、公正的推断。 A. 具有不能驳斥的观点。B. 实行个人感觉最倾向的观点。 D. 停止有利于教条主义讨论的异端思索。 3. B 辩论原则问题。答案在第一段：在思想禁锢的气氛中，过去，如今可能会产生个别的思想家，但绝不会有思想活跃的人民，在那里有一种心照不宣的惯律：原则决不能商量——认为占据人类心灵的最重大问题的商量应封闭，我们不能期望看到一般高级的思想活动。这种思想活动曾使历史上某些时期光芒灿烂。而文艺复兴就是思想活动的顶峰时期，必定会商量原则问题，所以选B 。 A. 接受真理，周经过商量才能接受真理。C. 过度的热情。 D. 可怕异端思索。 4. C.在辩论上，坚决不移

19、。这是一道推断题，一般讲：持有未经检验的正统信仰的人不会独立思索，更不会怀疑他所信仰的东西。 A. 为传统所奴役。B. 不怎么理智。D. 头脑闭塞。这种人必定受传统思想掌握，不理智更不愿接受外界新奇事物。 5. B. 在思想方面取得成就的时期就是进行非正统反思的时期。见3题注释。 A. 一个真正的思想家不犯错误。C. 一个人的老师最能提供所接受思想观点的反对。D. 过度的辩论会制止清楚的思索。 词汇： 1. stature 高度，境界，状况 2. heterodox 不合乎公认的标准的，异端的，异教的 3. tacit 心照不宣 4. refute 反对 5. adversary 对立面，对手

20、，敌人 6. plausible 擅长花言巧语的/辞令的，好像有理的/有可能的 7. doctrine 教义，学说 8. profess 表示，明言，承认，自称，信奉 难句译注： 1. True gains more even by the errors of one who with due study and preparation, thinks forhimself, then by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not sufferthemselves to think. 参考译文 真理甚至

21、从一个经过恰当讨论和预备进行独立思索的人的错误中获得更多的东西，而从那些只是因为不予思索却持有正确的观点中获得的少一种经过恰当的讨论和预备进行独立思索的人犯的错误，另一种人是不予思索的却持有正确的观点，真理从前者错误中获得的东西比从后者的正确观点中获得的要多。 2. mental slavery 思想禁锢，精神受奴役状态 3. Never when controversy avoided the subjects which are large and important enough to kindle enthusiasm was the mind of a people stirred

22、up from its foundation and the impulse givenwhich raised even persons of the most ordinary intellect to something of the dignity of thinkingbeings. 结构简析 这是一句以Never否认词开头的倒装句，正常的句序应把never放在句中，形成：themind of people was never stirred up from its foundations 参考译文 当辩论比开重大课题，重大到足以燃起/激起人们激/热情的课题时，那么一个民族的思想绝不

23、会从天赋的情感和原始的基础上升华，甚至使最一般智力的人上升到优点庄严的思想家水平上。 4. The rational position for her would be suspension of judgement, and unless she contents herselfwith that, she is either led by authority, or adopts, like the generality of the world, the side to whichshe feels the most inclination. 参考译文 对她来说理智的立场是停止推断，而且

24、除非她满足于这一点，否则，她不是为权威人物的观点所左右，后者就像世界上芸芸众生一样，倒向她感觉最倾向的一边。 5. That is not the way to do justice to the arguments, or bring them into teal contact with her ownmind. 结构简析 do justice to 公平对待，适当处理。 Bring……into contact with 使和……接触/联系。 参考译文 这不是对正确观点评价的方法，也不能使自己的思想真正接触到论点的实质。 6. She

27、hat such persons may have to say; and consequently they do not, in any propersense of the word, know the doctrines which they themselves profess. 结构简析 throw oneself into…position 设身处地，使自己处于……位置/地点。 写作方法与文章大意： 这是一篇由一般到具体，重要采纳正反对比，推理的写作方法的文章，规律性强，正反论证，句子结构冗杂冗长，分两段给出内容，第一段重点在：宏大的思想家的首要责任是奠定遵循自己智力所得出的结论。由此引起思想家和思想活跃的人民同时代环境的关系。只有思想后月的时期，才有宏大的思想家和活跃的人民，因为他们可以商量重大主题，而在思想禁锢时期，只能产生个别宏大思想家。第二段具体的论证了独立思索涉及两方面，既如自己一方种种，也得知对手的一方种种内容，推理，论点，才能真正获得真理。 PREV ARTICLE职称英语综合B词汇选项历年真题精选NEXT ARTICLE专业英语考试八级试题改错综合辅导2023
