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 while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students. The current crisis, it contends, 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 being 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 dedicated 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 faculties say their interests lie more in teaching 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] When a college tries to be "all things to all people"(Line 1-2, Para. 1)it aims to______.
选项
A、satisfy the needs of all kinds of students simultaneously
B、focus on training students in various skills
C、encourage students to take as many courses as possible
D、make learning serve academic rather than productive ends
答案
C
解析
细节推理题。根据原文首段的内容可知,卡耐基财团的报告对many colleges采取all things toall people的做法是不赞同的。由此判定答案在原文首段第四句,原文中的too many academic fields与选项C中的as many courses as possible对应。故答案为C。选项A、B、D均是卡耐基财团的报告提出的建议。
