答案与题解:

1. D 这道题的答案在第二段里可以找到。根据Arthur Herman, 苏格兰的思想家和知识分子提出了许多现代生活引以为据的思想,这些思想不仅对知识分子来说具有学术意义,而且还流传到商业、政府和科学等领域。

2. B 文章的第四段解释了Hume的研究是如何以人为本的。人的行为、人的思维方式等都是他所要研究的,但他的研究的最终目的是这段的最后一句话,即make concrete    suggestions, for universal benefit。考试论坛

3. B 答案见第六段。 Smith 的这个想法对现代经济学固然有重要意义,但如文中所说,It also has wider applications. 即下文所说的世界各国可以通过和平、贸易和创造发明而不是通过战争和掠夺来变得富裕、自由、强大。

4. D 答案的一句在第七段:A wider Scottish Enlightenment can still be seen.

5. B 文章的倒数第二段介绍了这个被用作例子的学校,这个例子要说明什么可以看再前一段。最后一句说: It also exists in Scotland itself in an educational tradition that combines academic excellence8 with practical orientation.
