Recent analysis indicates the U.S. education system is adapting to changing workforce needs and demands. Signals from the marketplace, coming in the form of higher pay rates for certain occupations, are motivating students to enroll in educational programs congruent with the needs of those industries. This training is expanding and improving their skills in those areas, and, by extension, their own marketability. Furthermore, the entire system is undergoing positive change including parents, educators and administrators. The changes are increasing choices and helping to mitigate equity issues, but there is still room for improvement.
As the American economy becomes a more global one, the advantage of Americans in knowledge and skill-based industries will only grow larger. Thus, the level of education of the worker will become an even greater factor in increasing productivity and spurring progress. To the individual worker, that means that his level of education will directly influence his salary. Similarly, fair income distribution will greatly depend on equity of access and participation in educational resources. Given existing social disparities, intervention may be required to assist a substantial segment of Americans.
Legislation has been passed mandating equal access to key educational and aid facilities, making it easier for those most in need of those services to obtain them. Recent laws forbid employers and educators from discriminating against various applicants or employees based on their race, age, gender or physical appearance, among other factors. Furthermore, the American civil litigation system has been doing its part as well, hearing cases involving discrimination and unequal treatment and, more often than not, deciding in favor of equality. At almost all levels, progress has been made in equalizing the disparities that exist between various social and ethnic groups in the schools and in the workplace.
However, income and racial-ethnicity problems continue to dog the system. As the structure of the economy shifts to support a larger proportion of knowledge-intensive industries, these disparities will only become more intractable. To the extent that more equitable income distribution is desirable, additional government intervention may be required.
The author views the main weakness of the American educational system as______.
选项
A、it is not sufficient to deal with today’s needs
B、it is not adaptable to changing circumstances
C、it is not equally accessible to all Americans
D、it does not directly affect income
答案
C
解析
属态度推断题。题目问:作者认为美国教育体系的主要不足是什么?文章第一段最后一句指出:这些变革有利于增加选择机会,有助于缓和涉及公正公平的诸多问题……。第三段第一句指出:国会已通过立法规定,每一位公民都享有平等地使用主要教育及救助设施的权利,这为那些极需要获得这些服务设施的人打开了方便之门。由此可推知,选项C正确(并非所有的美国人都享有平等地受教育的机会)。选项A、B与第一段第一句内容不符;选项D与第二段第三句意思相反。
