University students come from different parts of the country with various purposes. However, a

closer look at their reasons for studying at the university will enable us to (1) (classify) them

roughly into three groups: those who have a(n) (2) (passion) for learning, those who wish to (3)

(attain) a bright future, and those who learn with no definite purpose.

Firstly, there are many students who learn simply because they (4) (pursue) their goal of learning.

Others sit in front of the computer screen, working on a new program, (5) (virtually) day and night,

read books after books to (8) (acquire) knowledge from all of the resources which are (9)

their lives.

 Translation

➢ 英译汉

Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher who is credited with laying the fundamentals (基

础) of modern Western philosophy. He is a mysterious figure known chiefly through the accounts

of later classical writers, especially the writings of his most famous student Plato. Socrates has

become well known for his contribution to the field of ethics. His method of teaching, known as

the Socratic Method, by asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to

explain ideas remains a commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions. He also made

important and lasting contributions to the field of epistemology (认识论) and logic, and the

influence of his ideas and approach remains a strong foundation for Western philosophy that

followed. Socrates was the most colorful figure in the history of ancient philosophy. His fame was

widespread in his own time, and his name soon became a household word although he constructed

no philosophical system, established no school, and founded no sect (宗派).
