Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is: how does the community want or need to be served?
In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain "ivory towers"(象牙塔)of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases constrained(强逼), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.
A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but "man" , as the Bible says, "does not live by bread alone. " Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things. [br] The author believes that______.
选项
A、man can live by bread alone
B、arts cannot be useful money earners
C、universities should only teach technical skills
D、arts and technical skills are both important for the society’ s development
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。由文章最后一段最后一句“A successful musical play,for in—stance,can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any otherthings.”可知,一场成功的音乐表演对国民生产总值的贡献不亚于旅游和其他产业,从而可以推断作者认为文学、音乐和艺术等有存在的必要并有助于经济增长。所以答案为D。
