问题     Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities; research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served?
    In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain "ivory towers"(象牙塔) of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases compelled, to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.
    A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but "man", as the Bible says, "does not live by bread alone." Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.
The example of Aristotle indicates that______.
选项 A、universities in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduates
B、universities should stop teaching philosophy
C、high technology is now valued more than other courses in universities
D、universities should put more stress on computer science
答案C
解析 推理判断题。第二段最后一句说如果亚里士多德现在想去英国的大学里工作的话，他可能会去教计算机而不会作为一个哲学家被雇用；接着由第三段第一句“A post—industrial society requires…develop its economic growth…”可知，为了保持和促进经济发展社会需要大量的计算机程序员、工程师、管理者和技师。因此选项C(在大学高科技课程比其他课程更重要)正确。
