Recent stories in the newspapers and magazines suggest that teaching and research contradict each other, that research plays too prominent a part in academic promotions, and that teaching is badly underemphasized. There is an element of truth in these statements, but they also ignore deeper and more important relationships.
Research experience is an essential element of hearing and promotion at a research university because it is the emphasis on research that distinguishes such a university from an arts college. Some professors, however, neglect teaching for research and that presents a problem.
Most research universities reward outstanding teaching, but the greatest recognition is usually given to achievements in research. Part of the reason is the difficulty of judging teaching. A highly responsible and tough professor is usually appreciated by top students who want to be challenged but disliked by those whose records are less impressive. The mild professor usually gets high overall ratings, but there is a sense of disappointment on the part of the best students. Thus, a university trying to promote professors primarily on the basis of teaching qualities would have to confront this confusion.
As modern science moves faster, two forces are exerted on professors: one is the time needed to keep up with the profession; the other is the time needed to teach. The training of new scientists requires outstanding teaching at the research university as well as the arts college. Although scientists are usually made in the elementary schools, scientists can be lost by poor teaching at the college and graduate school levels. The solution is not to separate teaching and research but to recognize that the combination is difficult but vital. It is time for universities to reserve the title of professor for those willing to profess, willing to be an earnest part of the community of scholars. Professors unwilling to teach can be called "distinguished research investigators" or something else.
The pace of modern science makes it increasingly difficult to be a great researcher and a great teacher. Yet many are described in just those terms. Those who say we can separate teaching and research simply do not understand the system, but those who say the problem will disappear are not fulfilling their responsibilities.
Which of the following statements can we know from the fourth paragraph?
选项
A、Distinguished professors at research universities should focus on research only.
B、The separation of teaching from research may affect the quality of future scientists.
C、It is vitally important to improve teaching in elementary schools in order to train new scientists.
D、It is impossible to combine research with teaching due to the rapid development of modern science.
答案
B
解析
推论题。参见第四段第二、三、四句:培养新的科学家需要优秀的教学,文科院校与研究性高校都需要。尽管科学家的造就要从小学开始,但大学或研究生阶段的拙劣教学却可能使科学家被埋没。解决办法不是割裂教学与科研,而是要认识到二者的结合虽困难重重,却至关重要。由此可推论选项B正确(将教学与科研割裂会影响未来科学家的素质)。
