问题     Today’s students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F. D. R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations (革淅) are common. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was at Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient to get on with life.
   The easiest way to find kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能) education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.
   A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 50,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses--up from just 250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only in business schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts. "Our interest is the programs," she says. "We need to spread out from the business school."
   Either as class projects or on their own, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market. In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in special laboratory, create wearable technologies.
   (78) The entrepreneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration. "I just don’t think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national need," says Daniel S. Greenberg, author of Science for Sale: the perils, Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.
   Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson College’s president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is "an age-old argument". [br] According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education?
选项 A、To prepare students for future academic life.
B、To prepare students to find opportunities and seize them.
C、To prepare students for overseas career.
D、To prepare students to develop interpersonal skills.
答案 B
解析 本题主要考查考生对细节的把握。答案在文章第二段：…in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them. 故B对。
