The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be "all things to all people". In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrow-minded careerism(野心; 追求名利)while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students. The current crisis does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields, the work has no context; skills, rather than means, have become ends. Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree. In short, driven by careerism, "the nation’s colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials(文凭)than in providing a quality education for their students." The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an "integrated core" of common learning. Such a core would introduce students "to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus. "
Although the key to a good college is a high-quality faculty, the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed "Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most." Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four-year degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure(终身任期), promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculty say their interests lie more in leaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that "There is pressure to publish, although there is virtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications. " [br] It can be inferred from the passage that high-quality college education calls for
选项
A、putting academic work in the proper context
B、a commitment to students and effective teaching
C、the practice of putting learning to productive ends
D、dedication to research in frontier areas of knowledge
答案
B
解析
本题为推理判断题,提问的是文章指出要取得高质量的大学教育需要怎样做。从文章第二段可知,要想有高质量的教育,就要重视高质量的教学,而献身教学的教员如不搞科研便会失去许多好处,这一点导致学生不能得到good teaching,这正是教学的失误,要改变这一点,必须向学生负责,提供高质量的教学,故B)项正确。A)、C)两项是对义章相应句子的片面理解,都不是作者文中提到的应重视教学的观点。D)项显然与作者应重视教学的观点相反。因此,本题应选B)项。
