参考答案

C

答案解析

该题为细节加推理题。根据第三段第四句“…Charles Francis Adams,Jr.,…devoted his later years to writing history…”我们知道,小查尔斯·弗兰西斯·亚当斯在晚年致力于历史写作,故A项错误;根据第三段第四句“…Charles Francis Adams,Jr.,the Union Pacific Railroad president who devoted his later years to writing history…”我们知道,小查尔斯·弗兰西斯·亚当斯是太平洋铁路联盟的主席,在晚年时期致力于历史写作,由此我们可以推断出他之所以谈论到教育问题,只是将其作为其历史写作的一部分,这并不能说明他是历史上的教育倡导者,故不选择B项;根据第三段第四句中…They felt,’said regretfully Charles Francis Adams,Jr.,…‘that a classical education was the important distinction between a mail who had been to college and a man who had not been to college,and that anything that diminished the impor-tance of this distinction was essentially revolutionary and tended to anarchy.”’我们知道,小查尔斯·弗兰西斯·亚当斯遗憾地说道:
“他们认为古典教育是区别一个人有没有受过大学教育的重要标准,而且还认为对这个标准的抹杀从根本上来说都是在制造革命,并且很可能陷入混乱。”因此,我们可以判断出小查尔斯·弗兰西斯·亚当斯对古典教育持反对观点,故选择C项;根据C项的分析,我们知道小查尔斯·弗兰西斯·亚当斯对上世纪大学教授认为古典教育是区别一个人有没有受过大学教育的重要标准的观点表示遗憾,而非对区别标准的抹杀表示遗憾,故D项错误。

Neither the Americans nor the Russians have the resources to continue human space flight on their own;both sides know they need each other.61)It´s much easier and cheaper to get used to each other and to blend differing operating styles, languages, and systems on the aged Mir (a Russian word for "peace" ) than trying to do that while jointly building a new space station. NASA,in fact, calls its program of shuttle flights to Mir Phase 1 of the International Space Station (ISS).
Phase 2 marks the beginning of actual construction. The procedures used to dock the shuttle to Mir,for example,also will be used as a lifeboat for the ISS.And Progress freighters,like the one that crashed into Mir in June,will haul cargo to the ISS.62)One unintended benefit of Mir´s technical troubles is that they have actually forced the two nations to work much more closely together than they had planned.
Except for a brief period in the l970s with Skylab,NASA has never operated a space station;
the Russians have been running them for years.Astronauts have long been trmned intensively to per-form specific tasks on shuttle flights lastin918 days or less.63)Russian astronauts,however,learn more general skills,since they spend many months in orbit and no one can forecast all the problems they might encounter.As a result of shuttle-Mir experience,NASA is revising astronaut training to include more of the general skills they will need on the ISS.
NASA decided to send astronauts to Mir based on its long record of safe operation.But this year,crews aboard Mir have faced two of the most serious emergencies in the history of human space flight.64)In February,an oxygen generator caught fire,shooting out 4-foot-long jets of flame like;fire extinguishers were bolted in place,delaying reaction to the fire.In June,a Progress Freight-el"collided with the Spektr module,puncturing it.Spektr had to be sealed off to prevent all the air from leaking from the spacecraft.65)The ancient computer that controls Mir has failed many times, causing most other systems,including the one that keeps the station´s solar panels pointed at the sun,to shutdown.One failure in August occurred while a Progress was docking.Last week,the computer crashed again,the carbon dioxide removal system shut down,and a mysterious brown flu-id—probably rocket fuel——appeared to leak from the station.
