On 21st-century campuses, is there room still for traditional literature such as Shakespeare? A declining number of students think so in the US—a trend that worries leaders at many top universities, where engineers often outnumber humanity students. Seeking to reignite(重新燃起)interest in the liberal arts, Stanford University last month welcomed the class of 2015 with a rich opening volley of literature and philosophy. They are designed to elevate freshmen dreams beyond cool jobs, such as working at Google. The 1 718 incoming students—nearly half of whom arrive intending to major in the sciences or engineering—listened to a lecture organized by the College of Humanities and Arts, where Abraham Verghese praised the meaning, and opportunities, of a liberal arts education. "We’re trying to break the idea that college is just something to get through on your way to a career," said Debra Satz, associate dean for Humanities and Arts. "It is a gift. " In the humanities’ heyday(鼎盛时期)of the mid-60s, more than one in three Stanford students majored in languages, literature, the arts, history, cultural studies and philosophy. By 1995, only about one in ten did—a figure that hasn’t changed much in a decade. Meanwhile, interest in engineering, math and computer science has climbed.
This trend is echoed in five decades of data from other schools such as Harvard, Princeton, Brown and Yale. At a Stanford appearance last year, Geoffrey Harpham, director of the National Humanities Center, said the humanities must be reinvigorated and are critical to the future of US. "The genius of this country," he said, "is a program of education for all its citizens." But for students who came of age in the Great Recession, the tempt of science can be difficult to resist. And as tuition costs rise, fewer seem willing to explore the question: How do I live a life of true meaning? [br] What about the condition of humanities in the mid-60s in Stanford University?
选项
A、Only about 10% Stanford students majored in humanities.
B、1 718 students majored in humanities in the mid-60s.
C、More than 33% Stanford students majored in humanities.
D、The number of students declined in the mid-60s.
答案
C
解析
由题干中的humanities,the mid-60s定位到第二段第四句。该句指出,在人文学科的鼎盛时期,即上世纪60年代中期,斯坦福大学超过三分之一的学生主修语言学、文学、艺术、历史、文化研究或哲学专业,由此可知应选C)“超过33%的斯坦福大学生主修人文学科”。
