Most graduate programs in American universities produce a product for which there is no market and develop skills for which there is decreasing demand, all at a rapidly rising cost. Unfortunately, this mass production university model has led to division where there ought to be cooperation.(23)In my own religion department, for example, we have ten faculty members, working in eight branches, with little in common. And as departments fragment, research and publication become more and more about less and less. The emphasis on narrow scholarship also encourages an educational system that has become a process of copying.(24)The dirty secret of higher education is that without graduate students who are not paid well to help in laboratories and with teaching, universities couldn’t conduct research or even instruct their growing undergraduate populations. That’s one of the main reasons we still encourage people to enroll in doctoral programs. In other words, young people enroll in graduate programs, work hard for little pay and assume huge debt burdens, all because of the misleading promise of faculty appointments. But the truth is that there will always be too many candidates for too few openings. The other obstacle to change is that colleges and universities are self-regulating or governed by peer review. While administrations theoretically have some management responsibility, in practice, departments operate independently. To complicate matters further, once a faculty member has been granted tenure, there is almost no supervision.(25)If American higher education is to thrive in the 21st century, colleges and universities must be regulated and completely restructured.
23. What can we learn about the department the speaker is working in?
24. What can we learn about the postgraduates in the universities?
25. What’s the speaker’s attitude toward the higher education in the United States?
选项
A、They get paid to work for their degree.
B、They help a lot in research and in teaching under graduates.
C、They enroll in graduate programs for teaching jobs in the universities.
D、They won’t graduate with a degree if they don’t work hard.
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。本题问的是我们能得知关于学校研究生的什么信息。短文中提到,没有那些报酬很低的研究生在实验室和课堂上的帮助,大学就没有办法进行研究,甚至也无法应付人数越来越多的本科生的教学。由此可知,研究生在科研和本科教学中有很大的帮助。
