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、He likes students with high motivation.
B、He enjoys teaching intelligent students.
C、He tailors his teaching to students’ needs.
D、He treats all his students in a fair manner.
答案
A
解析
题目问的是我们可以从克里斯托弗.里克斯教授的话中了解到什么。短文结尾部分引用了里克斯教授的话:“我不是反对精英主义,我只是碰巧喜欢教育那些有更强烈的学习热情的学生。”A项中的students with high motivation和原文中的people who are more eager to learn属于同义替换,故A为正确答案。C、D两项文中并未提及,故排除;里克斯教授提到,美国为那么多的人提供高等教育,而英国只为小部分的人提供精英教育,我们不能要求美国的大学生跟英国大学生一样聪明,B项中尽管有intelligent这一字眼,但属于偷换概念,文中并没有提到他喜欢教聪明的学生,故排除。
