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] It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项
A、file British government will be forced to increase its spending on higher education
B、British employers demand an expansion in enrollment at the expense of quality
C、the best way out of financial difficulty for British universities is to follow their European counterparts
D、British students will probably have to pay for their higher education in the near future
答案
D
解析
推理题。本题问的是:从文章可推断______。从文章第4段可知扩招带来了需要更多资金的压力,而且这些资金从纳税人和商业上募集的可能性很小。从文章第5段第1和第2句“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”可知很多学校认为学生应该自己负担学费,这在世界上其他国家早已成为惯例,但在英国此举却会带来革命性的改变。校方希望政府引进助学贷款,并暂缓收费行动。由此可推断,在不久的将来学生将会自己负担学费,故选D。
