Recent stories in the newspapers and magazines suggest that teaching and research contradict each other, that research plays too prominent a part in academic promotions, and that teaching is badly under-emphasized. There is an element of truth in these statements, but they also ignore deeper and more important relationships.
Research experience is an essential element of hiring and promotion at the research university because it is the emphasis on research that distinguishes such a university from an arts college. Some professors, however, neglect teaching for research, and that presents a problem.
Most research universities reward outstanding teaching, but the greatest recognition is usually given for achievements in research. Part of the reason is the difficulty of judging teaching. A highly responsible and tough professor is usually appreciated by top students who want to be challenged, but disliked by those whose records are less impressive. The mild professor gets overall ratings that are usually high, but there is a sense of disappointment on the part of the best students, exactly those for whom the system should present the greatest challenges. Thus, a university trying to promote professors primarily on the basis of teaching qualities would have to confront this confusion.
As modem science moves faster, two forces are exerted on professors: one is the time needed to keep up with the profession; the other is the time needed to teach. The training of new scientists re quires outstanding teaching at the research university as well as the arts college. Although scientists are usually "made" in the elementary schools, scientists can be "lost" by poor teaching at the college and graduate school levels. The solution is not to separate teaching and research, but to recognize that the combination is difficult but vital. The title of professor should be given only to those who profess, and it is perhaps time for universities to reserve it for those willing to be an earnest part of the community of scholars. Professors unwilling to teach can be called "distinguished research investigators, "or something else.
The pace of modem science makes it increasingly difficult to be a great researcher and great teacher. Yet many are described in just those terms. Those who say we can separate teaching and re search simply do not understand the system, but those who say the problem will disappear are not fulfilling their responsibilities. [br] What idea does the author want to convey in the first paragraph?
选项
A、It is wrong to overestimate the importance of teaching.
B、Teaching and research are contradictory to each other.
C、Research can never be emphasized too much.
D、The relationship between teaching and research should not be simplified.
答案
D
解析
在文中,作者首先列举了报章上的观点,即教学和科研相互矛盾,在学术晋升中过于注重研究,而教学则不被重视。接着,作者认为这些观点中有基本事实,但同时他们忽略了科研和教学之间更深更重要的关系,从中可见,作者想表达的意思是教学和科研两者之间的关系,不应该被简单化,因此,四个选项中只有D)符合题意。文章并不是简单的判断研究和教学孰重孰轻,而是要讲述两者之间的关系更为复杂和重要,排除A)、C);B)以偏概全,报纸杂志观点只是用来引出本文的观点。
