British universities, groaning under the burden of a huge increase in student numbers, are warning that the tradition of a free education is at risk. The universities have threatened to impose an admission fee on students to plug a gap in revenue if the government does not act to improve their finances and scrap some public spending cutbacks.
The government responded to the universities’ threat by setting up the most fundamental review of higher education for a generation, under a non-party troubleshooter (调停人),Sir Ron Dearing.
One in three school-leavers enters higher education, five times the number when the last review took place thirty years ago.
Everyone agrees a system that is feeling the strain after rapid expansion needs a lot more money—but there is little hope of getting it from the taxpayer and not much scope for attracting more finance from business.
Most colleges believe students should contribute to tuition costs, something that is common elsewhere in the world but would mark a revolutionary change in Britain. Universities want the government to introduce a loan scheme for tuition fees and have suspended their own threatened action for now. They await Dearing’s advice, hoping it will not be too late—some are already reported to be in financial difficulty.
As the century nears its end, the whole concept of what a university should be is under the microscope. Experts ponder how much they can use computers instead of classrooms, talk of the need for lifelong learning and refer to students as "consumers".
The Confederation (联盟) of British Industry, the key employers’ organization, wants even more expansion in higher education to help fight competition on world markets from booming Asian economies. But the government has doubts about more expansioa The Times newspaper agrees, complaining that quality has suffered as student numbers soared, with close tutorial supervision giving way to "mass production methods more typical of European universities".
It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项
A、British employers demand an expansion in enrollment at the expense of quality
B、the best way out for British universities is to follow their European counterparts
C、the British government will be forced to increase its spending on higher education
D、British students will probably have to pay for their higher education in the near future
答案
D
解析
本题是一道推断题。问从文章中我们可以推断出什么。针对四个选项所给的内容,利用查阅式阅读法,结合原文相关信息,我们发现文章第五段第一句话“Most colleges believe students should contribute to tuition costs.”中“contribute to tuition costs”就是“为学费出一份力,起一份作用”的意思,句中“should”表示虚拟,这正好与选项D表达的意思相一致。因此,本题的正确答案应是D“英国的学生可能在不久的将来要为其所受的高等教育付费”。
