问题 Albert Einstein once attributed the creativity of a famous scientist to the fact that he "never went to school, and therefore preserved the rare gift of thinking freely". There is undoubtedly truth in Einstein’s observation. Many artists and geniuses seem to view their schooling as a disadvantage. But such a truth is not a criticism of schools. It is the function of schools to civilize, not to train explorers. The explorer is always a lonely individual whether his or her pioneering be in art, music, science, or technology. The creative explorer of unmapped lands shares with the genius what William James described as the "faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way". Insofar as schools teach perceptual patterns they tend to destroy creativity and genius. But if schools could somewhat exist solely to cultivate genius, then society would break down. For the social order demands unity and widespread agreement, both traits are destructive to creativity. There will always be conflict between the demands of society and the impulses of creativity and genius. [br] In the author’s opinion, schooling meets the need of ______.

选项 A、genius
B、social order
C、faculty of perceiving
D、the impulses of creativity

答案 B

解析根据作者的观点，学校教育满足社会秩序的需要。作者在文中说，学校的作用是教育，而不是培训探索者。如果学校存在的唯一目的是培养天才，那么社会将会崩溃，因为社会秩序要求统一和广泛的认同。
