21、What gives unity to the whole Scholastic movement, the academic practice in Europe from the 9th to the 17th century, are the common aims, attitudes, and methods generally accepted by all its members. The chief concern of the Scholastics was not to discover new facts but to integrate the knowledge al
22、ready acquired separately by Greek reasoning and Christian revelation. This concern is one of the most characteristic differences between Scholasticism and modern thought since the Renaissance.The basic aim of the Scholastics determined certain common attitudes, the most important of which was their
23、 conviction of the fundamental harmony between reason and revelation. The Scholastics maintained that because the same God was the source of both types of knowledge and truth was one of his chief attributes, he could not contradict himself in these two ways of speaking. Any apparent opposition betwe
24、en revelation and reason could be traced either to an incorrect use of reason or to an inaccurate interpretation of the words of revelation. Because the Scholastics believed that revelation was the direct teaching of God, it possessed for them a higher degree of truth and certainty than did natural
25、reason. In apparent conflicts between religious faith and philosophic reasoning, faith was thus always the supreme arbiter; the theologians decision overruled that of the philosopher. After the early 13th century, Scholastic thought emphasized more the independence of philosophy within its own domai
26、n. Nonetheless, throughout the Scholastic period, philosophy was called the servant of theology, not only because the truth of philosophy was subordinated to that of theology, but also because the theologian used philosophy to understand and explain revelation.This attitude of Scholasticism stands i
27、n sharp contrast to the so-called double-truth theory of the Spanish-Arab philosopher and physician . His theory assumed that truth was accessible to both philosophy and Islamic theology but that only philosophy could attain it perfectly. The so-called truths of theology served, hence, as imperfect
28、imaginative expressions for the common people of the authentic truth accessible only to philosophy. （分数：5.00）(1).With the Scholastics, the search for new knowledge _. A. stopped completely B. slowed down C. advanced rapidly D. awaked gradually（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following best illustra
29、tes the relation between reason and revelation? A. They are simply identical. B. Revelation guides reason. C. They are occasionally contradictory. D. Reason is used to perfect revelation.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 of the text that _. A. the position of philosophy as a h
30、umble servant was accepted B. religion had turned into a hamper to the functioning of philosophy C. philosophers often quoted revelation to support themselves D. philosophers were sometimes referred to in religious practice（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4). （分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following is most lik
31、ely to be discussed in the part succeeding this text? A. Relations between St. T. Aquinas achievements and previous efforts. B. How St. T. Aquinas worked out the balance in discussion. C. Other endeavors on the relationship of reason and revelation. D. Outstanding features of the mature period of Sc
32、holasticism.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、BPassage 2/B(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Television has transformed politics in the United States by changing the way in which information is disseminated, by altering political campaigns, and by changing citizens patterns of response to politics. By giving citizens independent acce
33、ss to the candidates, television diminished the role of the political party in the selection of the major party candidates. By centering politics on the person of the candidate, television accelerated the citizens focus on character rather than issues.Television has altered the forms of political co
34、mmunication as well. The messages on which most of us rely are briefer than they once were. The Ustump speech/U, a political speech given by traveling politicians and lasting 1.5 to 2 hours, which characterized nineteenth-century political discourse, has given way to the 30 second advertisement and
35、the 10 second “sound bite“ in broadcast news. Increasingly the audience for speeches is not that standing in front of the politician but rather the viewing audience who will hear and see a snippet (片断) of the speech on the news.In these abbreviated forms, much of what constructed the traditional pol
36、itical discourse of earlier ages has been lost. In 15 or 30 seconds, a speaker cannot establish the historical context that shaped the issues in question, cannot detail the probable causes of the problem, and cannot examine alternative proposals to argue that one is preferable to others. In snippets
37、, politicians assert but do not argue.Because television is an intimate medium, speaking through it required a changed political style that was more conversational, personal, and visual than that of the old-style stump speech. Reliance on television means that increasingly our political world contai
38、ns memorable pictures rather than memorable words. Schools teach us to analyze words and print. However, in a world in which politics is increasingly visual, informed citizenship requires a new set of skills.Recognizing the power of televisions pictures, politicians craft televisual, staged events,
39、called pseudo-events, designed to attract media coverage. Much of the political activity we see on television news has been crafted by politicians, their speechwriters, and their public relations advisers for televised consumption. Sound bites in news and answers to questions in debates increasingly
40、 sound like advertisements.（分数：4.00）(1).What is the main point of the passage? A. Citizens in the United States are now more informed about political issues because of television coverage. B.
