British universities, groaning(抱怨)under the burden of a huge increase in student numbers, are warning that the tradition of a flee education is at risk. The universities have threatened to impose all admission fee on students to plug a gap in revenue if the government does not act to improve their finances and scrap(抛弃)some public spending cutbacks.
The government responded to the universities’ threat by setting up the most fundamental review of higher education for a generation, under a non-party troubleshooter (调停人), Sir Ron Dearing.
One in three school-leavers enters higher education, five times the number when the last review took place thirty years ago.
Everyone agrees a system that is feeling the strain after rapid expansion needs a lot more money—but there is little hope of getting it from the ’taxpayer and not much scope for attracting more finance from business.
Most colleges believe students should contribute to tuition costs, something that is common elsewhere in the world but would mark a revolutionary change in Britain. Universities want the government to introduce a loan scheme for tuition fees and have suspended their own threatened action for now. They await Dearing’s advice, hoping it will not be too late—some are already reported to be in financial difficulty.
As the century nears its end, the whole concept of what a university should be is under the microscope. Experts ponder how much they can use computers instead of classrooms, talk of the need for lifelong learning and refer to students as "consumers".
The Confederation (联盟) of British Industry, the key employers’ organization, wants even more expansion in higher education to help fight competition on world markets from booming Asian economies. But the government has doubts about more expansion. The Times newspaper agrees, complaining that quality has suffered as student numbers soared, with close tutorial supervision giving way to "mass pro- duction (批量生产) methods more typical of European universities". [br] Which of the following is the viewpoint of the Times newspaper?
选项
A、Expansion in enrollment is bound to affect the quality of British higher education.
B、British universities should expand their enrollment to meet the needs of industry.
C、European universities can better meet the needs of the modem world.
D、British universities should help fight competition on world markets.
答案
A
解析
细节题。本题问的是:Times报纸的观点是______。根据第7段第3句“The Times newspaper agrees,complaining that quality has suffered as student numbers soared,with close tutorial supervision giving way to mass production methods more typical of European universities.’”可知他们抱怨说由于学生数量激增,教学质量将会受到影响。那种严格的导师监管将会让步于在欧洲大学里更为典型的粗放式的教学方法,故选A。
