参考答案
正确答案:B
解析:本题为词汇题,主要考查考生根据上下文对单词edification的理解。该词所在句“Philosophers, from Plato to William James, have allowed their opinions as to the constitution of the universe to be influenced by the desire for edification...”意为:“从柏拉图到威廉·詹姆斯,哲学家们允许他们关于宇宙构成的观点受到渴望edification的影响”,即他们认为他们的思想能够得到升华。edification意为“(道德或精神方面的)启蒙,熏陶,改进”,在此上下文中,指“品德高尚”,即选项B中的“道德的提升”。
