问题    There is an immense and justified pride in what our colleges have done. At the same time there is a growing uneasiness about their product. The young men and women who carry away our degrees are a very attractive lot — in looks, in bodily fitness, in kindliness, energy, courage, and buoyancy.【R1】______That too is in some ways admirable; for in spite of President Lowell’s remark that the university should be a repository of great learning, since the freshmen always bring a stock with them and the seniors take little away, the fact is that our graduates have every chance to be well informed, and usually are so.【R2】______When it becomes articulate, it takes the form of wishes that these attractive young products of ours had more intellectual depth and force, more freedom from trouble and worry in dealing with the different ideas, more of the firm, clear, quiet thoughtfulness that is a very potent and needed guard against fraudulence and deception which exist around them and keep harassing them constantly.【R3】______Firstly, granting that our graduates know a good deal, their knowledge lies about in fragments and never gets welded together into the stuff of a tempered and mobile mind. Secondly, our university graduates have been so busy boring holes for themselves, acquiring special knowledge and skills, that in later life they have astonishingly little in common in the way of ideas, standards, or principles. Thirdly, it is alleged that the past two decades have revealed a singular want of clarity about the great ends of living, attachment to which gives significance and direction to a life.【R4】______My argument will be simple, perhaps too simple. What I shall contend is that there is a great deal of truth in each of them, and that the remedy for each is the same. 【R5】______
   A. Yet the uneasiness persists.
   B. It is larger infusion of the philosophic habit of mind.
   C. But what of their intellectual equipment?
   D. Our colleges have failed.
   E. Here are three grave charges against American education, and I want to discuss them briefly.
   F. The complaint commonly breaks itself up into a list of three particulars. [br] 【R2】
选项
答案 A
解析 本题的突破口是把握这个语篇的结构。空格的上文主要讲的是年轻人的优势，而下文讲的是年轻人的抱怨和问题，这两者之间是强烈的对比。因此，空格处的句子应是该语篇的分水岭。
