1、閱讀理解（3） 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。 (Religion and Rationality) ? ?Yet the difference in tome and language must strike us, so soon as it is philosophy that speaks: that change should remind us that even if the function of religion and that of reason coincide, this function is performed in

2、the two cases by very different organs. Religions are many, reason one. Religion consists of conscious ideas, hopes, enthusiasms, and objects of worship; it operates by grace and flourishes by prayer. Reason, on the other hand, is a mere principle or potential order, on which indeed we may come to r

3、eflect but which exists in us ideally only, without variation or stress of any kind. We conform or do not conform to it; it does not urge or chide us, not call for any emotions on our part other than those naturally aroused by the various objects which it unfolds in their true nature and proportion.

4、 Religion brings some order into life by weighting it with new materials. Reason adds to the natural materials only the perfect order which it introduces into them. Rationality is nothing but a form, an ideal constitution which experience may more or less embody. Religion is a part of experience its

5、elf, a mass of sentiments and ideas. The one is an inviolate principle, the other a changing and struggling force. And yet this struggling and changing force of religion seems to direct man toward something eternal. It seems to make for an ultimate harmony within the soul and for an ultimate harmony

6、 between the soul and all that the soul depends upon. Religion, in its intent, is a more conscious and direct pursuit of the Life of Reason than is society, science, or art, for these approach and fill out the ideal life tentatively and piecemeal, hardly regarding the foal or caring for the ultimate

7、 justification of the instinctive aims. Religion also has an instinctive and blind side and bubbles up in all manner of chance practices and intuitions; soon, however, it feels its way toward the heart of things, and from whatever quarter it may come, veers in the direction of the ultimate. ? ?Nev

8、ertheless, we must confess that this religious pursuit of the Life of Reason has been singularly abortive. Those within the pale of each religion may prevail upon themselves, to express satisfaction with its results, thanks to a fond partiality in reading the past and generous draughts of hope for t

9、he future; but any one regarding the various religions at once and comparing their achievements with what reason requires, must feel how terrible is the disappointment which they have one and all prepared for mankind. Their chief anxiety has been to offer imaginary remedies for mortal ills, some of

10、which are incurable essentially, while others might have been really cured by well-directed effort. The Greed oracles, for instance, pretended to heal out natural ignorance, which has its appropriate though difficult cure, while the Christian vision of heaven pretended to be an antidote to our natur

11、al death—the inevitable correlate of birth and of a changing and conditioned existence. By methods of this sort little can be done for the real betterment of life. To confuse intelligence and dislocate sentiment by gratuitous fictions is a short-sighted way of pursuing happiness. Nature is soon aven

12、ged. An unhealthy exaltation and a one-sided morality have to be followed by regrettable reactions. When these come. The real rewards of life may seem vain to a relaxed vitality, and the very name of virtue may irritate young spirits untrained in and natural excellence. Thus religion too often debau

13、ches the morality it comes to sanction and impedes the science it ought to fulfill. ? ?What is the secret of this ineptitude? Why does religion, so near to rationality in its purpose, fall so short of it in its results? The answer is easy; religion pursues rationality through the imagination. When

14、it explains events or assigns causes, it is an imaginative substitute for science. When it gives precepts, insinuates ideals, or remoulds aspiration, it is an imaginative substitute for wisdom—I mean for the deliberate and impartial pursuit of all food. The condition and the aims of life are both re

15、presented in religion poetically, but this poetry tends to arrogate to itself literal truth and moral authority, neither of which it possesses. Hence the depth and importance of religion becomes intelligible no less than its contradictions and practical disasters. Its object is the same as that of r

25、unction is performed in the two cases by very different organs. [參考譯文] ?可是音調(diào)和語言的差異必然很快的給我們深刻的印象，就象哲學所說的那樣：那種差異應提鄉(xiāng)我們，即使宗教的功能和理性的功能恰好相符的話，其功能也是通過不同的器官在兩種不同的情況下完成的。 2. ? ? ?Reason, on the other hand, is a mere principle or potential order, on which indeed we may come to reflect but which exists in us

26、 ideally only, without variation or stress of any kind. [參考譯文] ?另一方面，理性知識一種原則或者是潛在的秩序，我們確實可以在此基礎上存在于我們心中，沒有種種變化，或任何壓力。 3. ? ? ?We conform or do not conform to it; it does not urge or chide us, not call for any emotions on our part other than those naturally aroused by the various objects which it

27、unfolds in their true nature and proportion. [參考譯文] ?不論我們是否遵循理性，它不會極力或責備我們，除了以事物的本來面目和比例揭示各種事物而自然而然的激起我們的感情，它并不需要我們付出任何感情。 4. ? ? ?Religion, in its intent, is a more conscious and direct pursuit of the Life of Reason than is society, science, or art, for these approach and fill out the ideal life

28、tentatively and piecemeal, hardly regarding the foal or caring for the ultimate justification of the instinctive aims. [參考譯文] ?宗教在其意義上，比社會，科學，藝術更自覺，更直接的追求“理性生活”，因為這些東西（社會，科學，藝術）暫時而又零星的接近和填補理想的生活，無視目的，也不管其本能的目標是否最終證明正確。 5. ?one and all ? ?各個都，全部 6. ? ? ?Those within the pale of each religion may p

30、e disappointment which they have one and all prepared for mankind. [參考譯文] ?處于宗教領域范圍之內(nèi)的人民也許會說服自己對其結(jié)果表示滿意，這要感謝他們在結(jié)實過去和對未來希望寬宏要切上的一種偏愛。可是任何迅速關注宗教的人，把其成就和理性所要求的一切做一比較，必然感到這種種宗教為全人類作好的失望是實在太可怕了。 7. ? ? ?To confuse intelligence and dislocate sentiment by gratuitous fictions is a short-sighted way of pur

31、suing happiness. [參考譯文] ?以無理的幻想混淆智力，弄亂正常的情感是一種短視的追求幸福的方法。 8. ? ? ?Thus religion too often debauches the morality it comes to sanction and impedes the science it ought to fulfill. [參考譯文] ?因此，宗教常常會使它要支持的道德墮落淪喪，并妨礙它應該執(zhí)行的科學任務。 9. ? ? ?The condition and the aims of life are both represented in religi

32、on poetically, but this poetry tends to arrogate to itself literal truth and moral authority, neither of which it possesses. [參考譯文] ?生活的目標和條件在宗教中詩一般的呈現(xiàn)，但這種詩意往往把宗教所并不具有的樸實真理和道德威力沒有來由的歸于宗教。 寫作方法與文章大意 這是一篇用對比手法寫出宗教和理性之差異并著重描述宗教的文章。有各種中焦，理性只有一個，縱然兩者在功能和目的上有不相同之處，但由于宗教以直覺，想象力，情感為主，無視目的，雖比科學，社會或藝術更自覺

33、，更直接追求理性生活，結(jié)果卻是失敗和失望，而理性則相反。 答案祥解 1. ? ? ?C. ?一種有目的而又不帶偏見對最佳事物的探索。答案在最后一段，這種愚蠢的秘密是什么？為什么宗教在目的上那么接近真理，在其結(jié)構和結(jié)果上，卻沒有理性的一切？答案很簡單：宗教是通過想象來追逐理性，當它解釋事件或闡明原因時，以虛構的想象來取代科學，當它訓誡，暗示理想或者重塑抱負時，以想象代替智慧——智慧的意思是指有意識而又公正的追求一切好東西。 A. 通過想象力追求理性。 ? ?B. 不帶感情的探詢真理。 ? C. 追求幸福的短視的方法。 2. ? ? ?A. ?宗教通過想象力尋求真理，而理性的探索卻運用

34、感情。見難句譯注3，理性（智）是非感情的。 B. 在解決人類問題上的宗教是一種無效的工具。 ? C. 科學尋求逐步解決對人類的問題。 ? ?D. 哲學和理性的功能是一樣的。 3. ? ? ?A. ?宗教沒有意識（不知道）其最終目的的。見難句譯注4，說明宗教不管（幾乎不關注）其目的，或不關心其本能的目標最終真確與否。 B. 宗教沒有想象力。 ? C. 其成果是確切的，最終的。 ? D. 宗教很象科學和藝術。 4. ? ? ?D. ?它激起人類情感。第一段中說“宗教的掙扎與不斷變化的力量似乎促使人追求某種永恒的東西，它似乎追求靈魂的最終和諧以及靈魂與靈魂所依賴的一起事物之間的永恒的和諧?！?/p>

35、 A. 宗教依賴于直覺而不是推理。第一段最后一句：宗教也有本能和盲目的一面，在各種各樣的偶然實踐和直覺中沸騰?？刹痪盟窒蚴挛飪?nèi)心摸索前進，然而不論從哪個方向來，都轉(zhuǎn)想最終方向（最終多轉(zhuǎn)想這個方向——直覺），文章的最后一句：宗教的目的和理想的目的一樣，而其實現(xiàn)目的方法是通過直覺和無限止的詩一般的幻想來進行的。 ? B. 它不關心其本能的目標最終是否真確。 ?C. 它使人類很失望。 5. ? ? ?D. ?無效。第二段開始就點出：我們得承認宗教追求理性生活一直是很失?。鳟a(chǎn)了）。 A. 有想象力的。 ? ?B. 為未來提供希望的。 ? C. 是一個高度的智力活動。 閱讀下列短文,
