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".
We can learn from the passage that in Britain______.
选项
A、higher education is provided free of charge
B、universities are mainly funded by businesses
C、the government pays dearly for its financial policy
D、students are ready to accept loan schemes for tuition
答案
A
解析
本题问我们可以从文章中了解到英国如何。与此题答案相关的信息可以从第一段第一句话中找到。这句话指出,英国大学警告说免费教育的传统正在受到威胁。这正好是A项表达的含义:即在英国提供免费的高等教育。因此,本题的正确答案应是A。而其余三项均与原文不符。B“大学经费主要由企业提供”,C“政府为其财政政策支付大量资金”,D“学生乐于接受学费贷款计划”,这三个都是错误的。
