If sheer numbers provide any proof, America’s universities are the envy of the world. For all their troubles, the United States’ 3,500 institutions were flooded with more than half a million students from 193 countries last year. Asia led the way, with the biggest number from China followed by Japan and India. Most European and Asian universities provide an elite service to a small number of people. While fully 60% of all US high school graduates attend college at some point in their life, just 30% of the comparable German population, 28% of the French, 20% of the British, and 37% of the Japanese precede beyond high school. Britains who pass their A-Levels may still not qualify for a top university at home, but find American universities far more welcoming. Some US schools acknowledge the rigor of European secondary training, and will give up to a year’s credit to foreigners who have passed their high school exams. The conception that everyone has a right to an education appropriate to his potential is a highly democratic and compassionate standard, says Marvin Bresler, a professor at Princeton University. True, not all US students can match the performance of their foreign counterparts, but American institutions do offer students from rich and poor families alike the chance to realize their full potential. ’America educates so many more people at university that one can’t expect all those who go to be as intelligent as the much narrower band in British universities," says Prof. Christopher Ricks at Boston University. " I’m not against elitism, but I happen to like having people who are more eager to learn."
9.What does the speaker say about America’s universities?
10.What is Americans’ view on education according to Prof. Marvin Bresler?
11.What do we learn from Prof. Christopher Ricks’ remark?
选项
A、They offer students a wide variety of courses.
B、They attract students from all over the world.
C、They admit more students than they can handle.
D、They have trouble dealing with overseas students.
答案
B
解析
题目问的是关于美国的大学,说话者提到了什么。短文开头部分提到,尽管它们面临着一些困扰,去年美国的3500所大学还是吸引了来自193个国家的50多万学生。B项符合句意,故为正确答案。A、C两项文中并未涉及,故排除;短文开头说虽然美国的大学有它们的困扰,不过还是吸引了许多留学生,但并没有指出这些困扰是在应对留学生方面,D项属于无中生有,故排除。
