To produce the upheaval in the United States that changed and modernized the domain of higher education from the mid-1860’s to the mid-1880’s, three primary causes interacted. The emergence of a half-dozen leaders in education provided tile personal force that was needed. Moreover, an outcry for a fresher, more practical, and more advanced kind of instruction arose among tile alumni(校友) and friends of nearly all of the old colleges and grew into a movement that overrode all conservative opposition. The aggressive "Young Yale" movement appeared, demanding partial alumni control, a more liberal spirit, and a broader course of study. Tile graduates of Harvard College simultaneously rallied to relieve the college’s poverty and demand new enterprise. Education was pushing toward higher standards in the East by throwing off church leadership everywhere, and in the West by finding a wider range of studies and a new sense of public duty.
The old-style classical education received its most crushing blow in the citadel(保垒) of Harvard College, where Dr. Charles Eliot, a young captain of thirty-five, son of a former treasurer of Harvard, led tile progressive forces. Five revolutionary advances were made during the first years of Dr. Eliot’s administration. They were the elevation(提高) and amplification(增加) of entrance requirement, the enlargement of the curriculum and the development of the elective system, the recognition of graduate study in the liberal arts, the raising of professional training in law, medicine, and engineering to a postgraduate level, and the fostering of greater maturity in student life. Standards of admission were sharply advanced in 1872-1873 and 1876-1877. By the appointment of a dean to take charge of student affairs, and a wise handling of discipline, the undergraduates were led to regard themselves more as young gentlemen and less as young animals. One new course of study after another was opened up -- science, music, the history of the fine arts, advanced Spanish, political economy, physics, classical philology, and international law. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that if the educational revolution had not taken place during the period between the mid-160’s and the mid-10’s, Harvard College ______.
选项
A、would have been one of the colleges which enjoy the greatest fame in the United States
B、would have been a model of the old-style classical colleges in the United States
C、would not have been so famous and enjoyed the fame it now has today
D、would have been emerged with the Yale University to become a larger one
答案
C
解析
题干使用虚拟语气,所以耍从虚拟的角度判断题目内容。题目提到,“如果没有19世纪60年代到80年的大变革,哈佛大学的情况会是…”,从文章的第一段可以发现,没革新之前的哈佛大学有很多的不足,连经费都难保障,所以A)的推测不实;而根据文章第二段的开头一句,可以看出B)不对;D)中提到的“哈佛和耶鲁大学的合并”文章中并没有任何暗示和涉及,所以也不对。正确答案为C),是根据文章的这两段内容做出的合理推断:不改革,就不会像现在这么有名气。
