The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.
But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out — often encouraged by college administrators.
Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves — they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and does not explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cannot absorb an army of untrained 18-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained 22-year-olds, either.
Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college does not make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things — maybe it’s just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are only the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy(异端邪说)to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up. [br] In this passage the author argues that______.
选项
A、more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for high school graduates
B、college education is not enough if one wants to be successful
C、college education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious, and quick-learning people
D、intelligent people may learn quicker if they don’t go to college
答案
A
解析
信息推断题。文章末段提及一些敢于挑战传统的教育家和校园观察员开始公开建议说大学也许不是那些完成高中学业的年青人最好的、最适合的、唯一的去处,虽然这种论点被认为是异端邪说(heresy),但反面证据正在逐渐增多(mount up)。选项A中的内容与此信息一致。故答案为A。
