获取知识的目的

剑桥雅思12 Test5 Passage3阅读答案解析

第27题答案：vi

对应原文：A段：But what would the founders of these two institutions have thought of a course called‘Arson for Profit’?

答案解析：A段中提到，康奈尔大学的创始人希望为各种各样的学生提供所有的知识。随后过渡到，但他们会怎么看到一门叫做“纵火谋利”的科目。即该课程的名字有些过于出人意料。由此确定vi为答案。

第28题答案：viii

对应原文：B段：Naturally,the course is intended for prospective arson investigators…But wouldn’t this also be the perfect course for prospective arsonists to sign up for

答案解析：B段提到，这门课是为未来的纵火调查员设计的。但它对于未来的纵火犯来说也是完美的课程。即可能吸引到错误类型的学生，由此确定viii为答案。

第29题答案：ii

对应原文：C段：After all,a subject matter can have principles in the sense of being codified,having rules,as with football or chess,without being principled in the sense of being ethical.

答案解析：C段利用了principle一词多义的现象，导致读起来有些困难。前面文章来自雅思指的是原理，后面指的是原则。即一门科目可以有原理，但伦理上却不必有原则。对应ii选项有用两种含义的课程名称，由此确定答案。

第30题答案：iv

对应原文：D段：Is that obvious?I made the suggestion,which may sound downright crazy in light of the evidence,that perhaps marketing is by definition principled.

答案解析：D段提到，作者受康德启发，认为市场营销在定义上是有原则的。这种想法有些出人意料。选项中唯一能够与此对应的只有iv-将某一理论应用到意料之外的情景。由此确定答案。

第31题答案：iii

对应原文：E段：A field of knowledge or a professional endeavor is defined by both the means and the end;hence both deserve scrutiny.Students need to study both how to achieve X,and also what X is.

答案解析：E段最后提到，一门知识是由手段和目的共同定义的。它们都需要仔细审视。学生既需要学习如何实现X，也需要了解X是什么。即两者同等重要。由此确定iii为答案。

第32题答案：vii

对应原文：F段：But we would not call that firefighting.We have a separate word for it:arson…you would not be doing marketing.We have another term for it:fraud…We would say that one is practicing medicine,the other,murder.

答案解析：这道题相对比较简单一些。F段举了三个不同的例子，指出利用同样的知识实现不同的目的会得到不一样的称呼。由此确定vii为答案。

第33题答案：fire science

对应原文：A段：Any undergraduates who have met the academic requirements can sign up for the course in our program in‘fire science’

答案解析：根据标题和undergraduates定位到A段。从题干可以推测，空上应该填一门学科。A段中满足这一条件的只有fire science，由此确定答案。

第34题答案：investigators

对应原文：B段：Naturally,the course is intended for prospective arson investigators

答案解析：顺着上一题往下，从题干上推测，空上填的应该是他们想要成为什么样的人。再加上prospective与expectation的同义替换，由此确定investigators为答案。

第35题答案：evidence

对应原文：B段：who can learn all the tricks of the trade for detecting whether a fire was deliberately set,discovering who did it,and establishing a chain of evidence for effective prosecution in a court of law.

答案解析：根据detect定位到这句话，空前词find在原文中没有很直接的对应。因此我们换个思路，利用词性去筛选。这句话中的名词有tricks,trade,chain和evidence这四个（prosecution,court和law涉及到下一题），其中只有evidence填上去语意通顺，由此确定答案。

第36题答案：prosecution

对应原文：B段：and establishing a chain of evidence for effective prosecution in a court of law.

答案解析：顺着上一题往下，根据court定位到这句话。effective与successful同义替换，由此确定prosecution为答案。

第37题答案：NOT GIVEN

对应原文：无

答案解析：原文完全提到课程是否很难吸引没有相关职业规划的学生，由此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。

第38题答案：YES

对应原文：B段：wouldn’t this also be the perfect course for prospective arsonists to sign up for?…it’s not unknown for a firefighter to torch a building

答案解析：B段提到，这门课也很适合未来的纵火犯。并且对于消防员来说，点燃一栋建筑并不陌生。题目相当于将这两句话拼接起来，其他则没有进行任何更改，因此判断答案为YES。

第39题答案：NO

对应原文：B段：they are highly welcome as part of the increasing professionalization of this and many other occupations.

答案解析：B段中间提到，在各行各业日益专业化的今天，这一课程受到高度欢迎。可见纵火课程并没有因为太过学术而无法帮助相应的职业。由此判断答案为NO。

第40题答案：NO

对应原文：F段：When I ask fire science students to articulate the end,or purpose,of their field,they eventually generalize to something like,‘The safety and welfare of society,’which seems right.

答案解析：当作者逼问学生时，他们只给出了十分概括的说法。题目中detailed的描述与原文中generalize的说法相冲突，由此判断答案为NO。
