Why do we need the English major? The【C1】________is in every mouth—or, at least, is discussed extensively in columns and【C2】________. The English major is vanishing from our colleges as the Latin vanished before it, we’re told, a【C3】________choice bound to a dead subject. This spring at Pomona College, 16 students graduated【C4】________an English major out of a student body of 1,560, a terribly【C5】________number, and from other, similar schools, other, similar numbers.
【C6】________. a number of defenses have been mounted, none of them, so far, terribly persuasive even to one【C7】________them to persuade. The defenses come in two kinds: one【C8】________that English majors make better people, the other that English majors (or at least humanities majors) make【C9】________better societies; that, as Christina Pax-son, the president of Brown University, just put it in The New Republic, "there are real, definite benefits to the humanistic【C10】________—to the study of history, literature, art, theater, music, and languages." We need the humanities, she explains patiently,【C11】________they may end up giving us other stuff we actually like: "We do not always know the future benefits of what we study and【C12】________should not rush to reject some forms of research as less【C13】________than others."
The study of English, to be sure,【C14】________from its own discontents: it isn’t a science, and so the "research" you do is not really research. So why have English majors? Well, because many people like books. Most of those like to talk about them after they’ve read them, or while they’re in the middle. One might call this a natural or【C15】________consequence of literacy. And it’s this living, irresistible, permanent interest in reading that【C16】________English departments, and makes【C17】________of English majors.【C18】________we closed down every English department in the country, loud, good, expert, or at least hyper-enthusiastic readers would still emerge.
As one important branch of humanities, studying English won’t be time-wasted. As Professor Paxson said, the humanities help us【C19】________life more and endure it better. The reason we need the humanities is because we’re human. That’s【C20】________.
【C6】
选项
A、In conclusion
B、By contrast
C、In response
D、On average
答案
C
解析
逗号后句子指出“为英语专业辩护的言论有所上升”,这说明一部分人针对上述问题提出了看法。所需连接词应体现为英语专业辩护与上述问题间的逻辑关系,故C项In response“作为回应,为此”符合逻辑要求。A项In conclusion用于总结,B项By contrast表示对比,它们隐含的逻辑关系不能满足语篇要求。D项On average“平均起来”也不能满足句子语义和逻辑需求。
