The original Scottish Enlightenment is thought to have ended with the lives of Smith, Hume and the other thinkers who lived in Scotland at that time. But a wider Scottish Enlightenment can still be seen. It exists in the way that the ideas evolved at that time still underpin our theories. It also exists in Scotland itself in an educational tradition that combines academic excellence with practical orientation.

The Institute for System Level Integration (ISLI)is a good example. Founded in 1998 by a group of four Scottish universities, ISLI draws on the academic expertise of the university departments of computer science, electronic and electrical engineering and informatics. But though it works at the cutting edge of science, ISLI’s ultimate aims are rooted in the needs of the real world: to produce highly skilled design engineers and researchers to meet the needs of rapidly changing global semiconductor industry.

The Institute for System Level Integration is used as an example to illustrate_____.

A、the practical orientation of Scottish higher education

B、the tradition of Scottish higher education

C、Smith’s application of Hume’s philosophical ideas to economics

D、the high level of education Scottish universities have attained

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 文章的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第一段。最后一句说：It also exists in Scotland itself in an educational tradition that combines academic excellence with practical orientation.
