Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality business. We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist
But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial squeeze, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues significantly. Raising tuition doesn’t bring in more revenue, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.
It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently(固有地)better than public schools. Examples to the contrary abound. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous. In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Enthusiastic supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education.
We can reasonably conclude from this passage that the author made an appeal to the public in order to support _____.
选项
A、public institution
B、private schools
C、uniformity of education
D、diversity of education
答案
B
解析
文章一开头就指出“许多私立高等学校都处于危险之中”,引起读者的关注,结尾句明确倡导支持公立高等教育的人们应该同样支持私立高等学校教育,由此可见,B是本文的目的。本题最具干扰性的是D,该选项的说法在文中多次提到,但是作者提出办学多样性是为了支持私立教育的重要性,故D只是对本文主旨(私立教育)的支持细节,并非作者本文的中心话题。
