回答下列各题 One of the most interesting paradoxes in America today is thatHarvard Univers

ity,the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States,is UOW engaged in a serious debate about what a university should be,and whether it is measuring up(符合标准).Like the Roman Catholic Church and other ancient institutions,it is asking--still in private rather than in public--whether itspast assumptions about faculty,authority,admissions,courses of study,are really relevant to the problems of our society. Should Harvard or any other university—be an intellectualsanctuary,apart from the political and social revolution of the age,or should it be a laboratory for experimentation with thesepolitical and social revolutions;or even an engine ofthe revolution This is what is being discussed privately in the bigclapboard(楔形板)houses of faculty members around theHarvard Yard. The issue was defined by Walter Lippmann,a distinguished Harvard graduate,many years ago. “If the universities are todo their work,”he said,“they must be independent and they mustbe disinterested…They are places to which men can turn for unbiased judgments.Obviously,the moment the universities fallunder political control,or under the control of privateinterests,or the moment they themselves take a hand inpolitics and the leadership of government,their valueas independent and disinterested sources of judgment is impaired…” This is part of the argument that is going on at Harvard today.Another part is the argument ofthe militant and even many moderated students:that auniversity is the keeper of our ideals and morals,andshould not be“disinterested”but activist in bringingthe Nation’s ideals and actions together. Harvard’s men of today seem more troubled and less sure aboutpersonal,political and academic purpose than they did at the beginning.They are not even clear about how they should debate and resolvetheir problems,but they are struggling with themprivately,and how they come out is bound to influenceAmerican university and political life in the 21st century. A "paradox"(Line 1, Paragraph 1) is __________.

A.an unusual situation

B.a difficult puzzle

C.a parenthetical expression

D.a self-contradiction

根据下列材料,请回答下列各题 There are many different kinds of peaches(桃).One clear difference is the one between clingstone--fruit in which the flesh is stuck to the seed inside--and freestone—that in which the seed floats freely.Customers prefer freestone peaches because they don’t want to struggle to get the flesh away from the seed. And that’s how it goes in stone fruit land.Plant breeders(培育者)are trying all the time to im.prove the old favorites.Frequently,the changes are designed to meet the demands of the growers or packers.One very delicious family of peach varieties has nearly disappeared because it forms a small “beak” at the bottom of the fruit.That little point is likely to break during packing and shippin9,Opening the door to spoilage(腐烂). This is certainly not to say that the wants of customers are not important.In fact,they drive some of the most important changes.One thing customers like is red——lots of red.Peaches used to be prized for golden skin;now people are buying red,regarding it as a sign of ripeness. But red has a hold on people.There’s a story told by those in the stone fruit industry about a marketing experiment.A group of people were given two peaches:one a fairly tasteless red variety,the other a great—tasting gold.Sitting around,tasting and talking about the fruit,the group all agreed that the gold was a much better peach and that was the one they would buy.Then,on the way out the door,they were offered boxes of peaches as a thank—you gift.One held the preferred golden fruit,the other the red.To a person,they picked the red fruit to take home.Red sells. What does the word “stone” mean in the text?

A.The hard seed inside a fruit.

B.Containers that packers use.

C.Small rocks found in the fields.

D.Soft beaks at the bottom of the fruit.
