Part 5 Reading comprehension
(
每小题：
2
分
)
Directions:
Read the following passages carefully. Each
passage
is
followed
by
some
questions
or
unfinished
sentences.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices
marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best
answer to each
question.
Questions
1
to
5
are
based
on
the
same
passage
or
dialog.
What
is
the
value
of
the
humanities?
Why
should
we
study the humanities given the current
economic
recession?
In
this
new
era
of
continuous
unemployment
slides
and
shrinking
university
funds,
questions about the importance of the
humanities in a
complex
and
technologically
demanding
world
have
taken
on new urgency.
While
the
humanities
may
not
seem
as
important
as
engineering,
chemistry,
or
any
of
the
other
sciences,
it
still
plays
a
significant
role
in
the
world.
There
is
a
great
misunderstanding
of
what
the
humanities
are
and
what
they
can
do.
People
often
assume that the
humanities are just about reading the
great
literary
and
philosophical
works
and
understanding the question of what
living is for.
I would argue that
humanities
–
at least from a
Cultural
Studies
perspective
–
is
much
more
than
reading
the
classic works and
speculating about the meaning of life.
In
Cultural
Studies,
we
apply
theory
to
practice.
Thinking and
acting outside of the ivory tower, Cultural
Studies
attempts
to
produce
research
that
engages
with
the
public.
As
a
cultural
researcher,
I
am
constantly
asking myself the
does this topic
matter? Why should people care?
This
continuous self-questioning helps bridge the gap
between
theory
and
practice.
While
I
am
learning
for
the
sake
of
learning,
I
believe
scholars
have
the
responsibility
to
think
about
the
ways
in
which
their
research relates to
the larger picture. What is the point
of
research
if
it
doesn't
affect
the
way
people
think
about and act in the
world?
One
thing
I
think
Cultural
Studies
does
effectively
is
rethinking the way we have
traditionally thought about
things.
In
Cultural
Studies,
few
things
–
if
anything
–
are
taken for granted. Our research is largely driven
by
the question of what it means to be
human. Through
critical
and
creative
engagement,
we
attempt
to
speculate on a question in a way that
inspires people to
imagine what might
be instead of what is.
This
critical
and
creative
engagement
is
especially
important
given
the
worsening
state
of
the
economy
and the need for
creative ways of being in the world.
1.
Why
has
the
question
of
studying
the
humanities
taken on new
urgency?
A. More people have realized
its importance.
B. It has become a more
interesting topic.
C. It's driven by
the current economic downturn.
D. It's
compelled by today's complex world.
2.
According
to
the
author,
what's
the
assumption
of
the general public?
A.
sciences
are
more
important
than
the
humanities.
B. Most people
don't know who they are and what they
can do.
C. People don't
really understand the meaning of life.
D.
The
humanities
are
only
to
do
with
literatures
and
philosophies.

A. It
asks
B. It argues to support the
