1.
Yetthedifferenceintomeandlanguagemuststrikeus,sosoonasitisphilosophythatspeaks:thatchangeshouldremindusthatevenifthefunctionofreligionandthatofreasoncoincide,thisfunctionisperformedinthetwocasesbyverydifferentorgans.
[参考译文]
可是音调和语言的差异必定很快的给我们深刻的印象,就象哲学所说的那样:那种差异应提乡我们,即使宗教的功能和理性的功能恰好相符的话,其功能也是通过不同的器官在两种不同的状况下完成的。
2.
Reason,ontheotherhand,isamereprincipleorpotentialorder,onwhichindeedwemaycometoreflectbutwhichexistsinusideallyonly,withoutvariationorstressofanykind.
[参考译文]
另一方面,理性学问一种原则或者是潜在的秩序,我们的确可以在此基础上存在于我们心中,没有种种变化,或任何压力。
3.
Weconformordonotconformtoit;itdoesnoturgeorchideus,notcallforanyemotionsonourpartotherthanthosenaturallyarousedbythevariousobjectswhichitunfoldsintheirtruenatureandproportion.
[参考译文]
不论我们是否遵循理性,它不会极力或责怪我们,除了以事物的原来面目和比例揭示各种事物而自然而然的激起我们的感情,它并不需要我们付出任何感情。
4.
Religion,initsintent,isamoreconsciousanddirectpursuitoftheLifeofReasonthanissociety,science,orart,fortheseapproachandfillouttheideallifetentativelyandpiecemeal,hardlyregardingthefoalorcaringfortheultimatejustificationoftheinstinctiveaims.
[参考译文]
宗教在其意义上,比社会,科学,艺术更自觉,更直接的追求“理性生活”,由于这些东西(社会,科学,艺术)临时而又零星的接近和填补抱负的生活,无视目的,也不管其本能的目标是否最终证明正确。
5.
oneandall
各个都,全部
6.
Thosewithinthepaleofeachreligionmayprevailuponthemselves,toexpresssatisfactionwithitsresults,thankstoafondpartialityinreadingthepastandgenerousdraughtsofhopeforthefuture;butanyoneregardingthevariousreligionsatonceandcomparingtheirachievementswithwhatreasonrequires,mustfeelhowterribleisthedisappointmentwhichtheyhaveoneandallpreparedformankind.
[参考译文]
处于宗教领域范围之内的人民或许会说服自己对其结果表示满足,这要感谢他们在坚固过去和对将来期望宽宏要切上的一种偏爱。可是任何快速关注宗教的人,把其成就和理性所要求的一切做一比较,必定感到这种种宗教为全人类作好的无望是实在太可怕了。
7.
Toconfuseintelligenceanddislocatesentimentbygratuitousfictionsisashort-sightedwayofpursuinghappiness.
[参考译文]
以无理的幻想混淆智力,弄乱正常的情感是一种短视的追求幸福的方法。
8.
Thusreligiontoooftendebauchesthemoralityitcomestosanctionandimpedesthescienceitoughttofulfill.
[参考译文]
因此,宗教经常会使它要支持的道德堕落沦丧,并阻碍它应当执行的科学任务。
9.
Theconditionandtheaimsoflifearebothrepresentedinreligionpoetically,butthispoetrytendstoarrogatetoitselfliteraltruthandmoralauthority,neitherofwhichitpossesses.
[参考译文]
生活的目标和条件在宗教中诗一般的呈现,但这种诗意往往把宗教所并不具有的朴实真理和道德威力没有来由的归于宗教。
写作方法与文章大意
这是一篇用对比手法写出宗教和理性之差异并着重描述宗教的文章。有各种中焦,理性只有一个,纵然两者在功能和目的上有不相同之处,但由于宗教以直觉,想象力,情感为主,无视目的,虽比科学,社会或艺术更自觉,更直接追求理性生活,结果却是失败和无望,而理性则相反。
答案祥解
1.
C.
一种有目的而又不带偏见对最佳事物的探究。答案在最终一段,这种愚蠢的隐秘是什么?为什么宗教在目的上那么接近真理,在其结构和结果上,却没有理性的一切?答案很简洁:宗教是通过想象来追赶理性,当它解释大事或阐明缘由时,以虚构的想象来取代科学,当它训诫,示意抱负或者重塑抱负时,以想象代替才智——才智的意思是指有意识而又公正的追求一切好东西。
A.通过想象力追求理性。
B.不带感情的探询真理。
C.追求幸福的短视的方法。
2.
A.
宗教通过想象力寻求真理,而理性的探究却运用感情。见难句译注3,理性(智)是非感情的。
B.在解决人类问题上的宗教是一种无效的工具。
C.科学寻求逐步解决对人类的问题。
D.哲学和理性的功能是一样的。
3.
A.
宗教没有意识(不知道)其最终目的的。见难句译注4,说明宗教不管(几乎不关注)其目的,或不关怀其本能的目标最终真确与否。
B.宗教没有想象力。
C.其成果是精确 的,最终的。
D.宗教很象科学和艺术。
4.
D.
它激起人类情感。第一段中说“宗教的挣扎与不断变化的力气好像促使人追求某种永恒的东西,它好像追求灵魂的最终和谐以及灵魂与灵魂所依靠的一起事物之间的永恒的和谐。”
A.宗教依靠于直觉而不是推理。第一段最终一句:宗教也有本能和盲目的一面,在各种各样的偶然实践和直觉中沸腾。可不久它又向事物内心摸索前进,然而不论从哪个方始终,都转想最终方向(最终多转想这个方向——直觉),文章的最终一句:宗教的目的和抱负的目的一样,而其实现目的方法是通过直觉和无限止的诗一般的幻想来进行的。
B.它不关怀其本能的目标最终是否真确。
C.它使人类很无望。
5.
D.
无效。其次段开头就点出:我们得承认宗教追求理性生活始终是很失败(流产了)。
A.有想象力的。
B.为将来供应期望的。
C.是一个高度的智力活动。【2022高考英语安徽省六校联考】DXI’AN
