问题 In the relationship of education to business we observe today a fine state of paradox. On the one hand, the emphasis which most business places upon a college degree is so great that one can almost visualize the time when even the office boy will have his baccalaureate. On the other hand, we seem to preserve the belief that some deep intellectual Chasm separates the businessman from other products of the university system. The notion that business people are quite the Philistines sounds absurd. For some reasons, we tend to characterize vocations by stereotypes, none too flattering but nonetheless deeply imbedded in the national conscience. In the cast of characters the businessman comes on stage as a crass and uncouth person. It is not a pleasant conception and no more truthful or less unpleasant than our other stereotypes.　　Business is made up of people with all kinds of backgrounds, all kinds of motivations, and all kinds of tastes, just as in any other form of human Endeavour. Businessmen are not ambulatory ?balance sheets and profit statements, but perfectly normal human beings, subject to whatever strengths, frailties, and limitations that characterize man on the earth. They are people grouped together in organizations designed to complement the weakness of one with strength of another, tempering the exuberance of the young with the caution of the more mature, the poetic soaring’s of one mind with the counting house realism of another. Any disfigurement which society may suffer will come from man himself, not from the particular vocation to which he devotes his time.　　Any group of people necessarily represents an approach to a common denominator, and it is probably true that even individually they tend to conform somewhat to the general pattern. Many have pointed out the danger of engulfing our original thinkers in a tide of mediocrity. Conformity is not any more prevalent or any more exacting in the business field than it is in any other. It is a characteristic of all organizations of whatever nature. The fact is the large business unit provides greater opportunities for individuality and requires less in the way of conformity than other institutions of comparable size—the government service, or the academic world, or certainly the military.
选项 The paradox in the relationship between education and business is______. A.businessmen are both unmindful of history and sophisticated in it B.businessmen show both contempt and respect for noble activities C.there are both highly intellectual and uneducated businessmen D.there are both noticeable similarities and differences between businessmen and intellectuals
答案C
解析细节题。原文第一段中提到“On the one hand, the emphasis which most business places upon a college degree is so great that one can almost visualize the time when even the office boy will have his baccalaureate”即商人越来越重视学历的发展，之后又讲到“The notion that business people are quite the Philistines sounds absurdly”，意思是知识分子与商人之间并没有太大的差别，D项错误。C项“商人中既有高学历的人也有未受过教育的人”与原文中的“Business is made up of people with all kinds of backgrounds, all kinds of motivations, and all kinds of tastes, just as in any other form of human Endeavour”表述一致，所以正确答案是C项。
