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] When a college tries to be "all things to all people", 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
本题为州汇语义题,提问的是当一所大学想满足各种人的各种需要时,它的目标是什么。从文章第一段第二句话可知,很多大学的all things to all people(满足各种人的各种需要)这一宗旨是迎合了找工作的需要,为了满足这种急功近利、缺乏远见的需求,学校为学生提供了大量可供选择的学科(offered a variety of options)(第一段第五句话)。由此两处可知。这学校这样做的目的是鼓励学生研习尽可能多的课程,故C)项正确。B)项表明的内容只是一种结果而不是学校的目的。D)项是对put learning to productive ends(学习为长远的、富有成效的目的服务)的一种曲解。
