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

第10题

Public officials and candidates for public office routinely use public opinion polls to ke

ep track of what the people are thinking. An important question is the degree to which these polls should guide leaders in their actions. There are arguments for and against the use of polls as the basis for policy decisions.

Polls can contribute to effective government by keeping political leaders from getting too far out of line with the public's thinking. In a democratic society, the effectiveness of a public policy often dep. ends on the extent of its public support. When a policy is contrary to the public's desires, people may choose to disregard or undermine it, thus making it counterproductive or inefficient. Further, when government pursues a course of action with which a large proportion of the public disagrees, it risks a loss of public confidence, which can have a negative effect on its ability to lead. The Reagan administration, flying high from 1981 to 1985 ,was brought low in 1986 by public reaction to news of its secret sales of weapons to Iran. The administration had not paid sufficient attention to polls that revealed the deep antagonism American still felt toward Iran be cause the Ayatollah Khomeini's regime has held sixty-three American hostages in 1979 - 1981.

However, leaders can also do a disservice to the public they represent by using poll results as a substitute for policy judgment. "Effective government", as Walter Lippmann wrote, "cannot be conducted by legislators and officials who, when a question is presented, ask themselves first and last not what is the truth and which is the right and necessary course, but what does the Gallup Poll say？" During his presidential term, Jimmy Carter proposed five consecutive inflation-fighting programs, changing his plans with each shift in public sentiment without having invested the political capital necessary to get Congress and the country behind any of the efforts. The nation -- and Carter -- would probably have been better served by a steadfast commitment to a single course of action.

Paragraph 2 mainly implies that ______.

A．Reagan lost a lot of support late in his administration

B．leaders should learn to win support for their policies

C．it is up to the leaders to determine the value of public opinion

D．public opinion polls are very important to a democratic society
