A recent study concluding that the first two years of undergraduate education makes very little difference in students’ abilities to read critically and write clearly points to a troubling fact in higher education. We are not doing an adequate job of preparing students for life and work in the 21st century. There are many reasons for students’ difficulties. Far too many come to college today less well prepared than in the past and are not able to work at the level that should be required of them. It is essential to develop an approach to reform that integrates K-12 and college education.
The challenges students face are compounded by pressures faculty members face. The imbalance between research and teaching has led to curricula that are over-specialized. Many of the courses offered are of little interest or use to students. When a person’s professional future depends on research and publication, there is very little incentive to spend time teaching and working with students.
But even well intentioned teachers who would like to do more for their students often face insurmountable difficulties. Growing financial problems make it virtually impossible to provide the kind of education students deserve. While faculty members and graduate students are being cut, many schools are trying to increase income by admitting more students, leaving insufficient professional teacher for the students recruited.
When there is pressure to teach large classes to help the bottom line, the wisest policy is to assign little reading or writing and to grade easily. Teaching well takes lots of time and helping student to learn to read critically and write well cannot be done in lecture halls with hundreds of students.
The situation is even worse than recent reports suggest. Students are going to need new skills and different literacy in the future. The technological revolution that continues to take place is transforming the very structure of knowledge and, by extension, is changing the way people think, read and write. Traditional skills and competence in reading and writing are still necessary but are no longer sufficient. We must also teach students to be as critical and creative in new media as they should be in the old.
None of this will be easy or cheap but it must be done now. There has to be a thorough reassessment of the value of teaching and significant reallocation of resources within colleges and universities as well as the country at large.
What kind of impact does technological revolution bring on students?
选项
A、It has made them more critical and creative.
B、It has brought unprecedented challenges for students to meet.
C、It has made more and more students be cut.
D、It has converted teachers’ pressures to students.
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。由题干关键词technological revolution定位至第五段第三句:科技革命在不停地改变着知识结构,甚至在很大程度上正在改变着人们的思维方式、阅读和写作模式。可见,这对学生来说是前所未有的挑战,故[B]符合文意。该段最后一句指出,面对这样的挑战,我们(教师)要努力教给学生技能和知识,让学生在新媒体环境下具有同样的批判性和创造力,故[A]不符合文意;第三段最后一句提到教师和研究生人数被削减,可见,是研究生而不是本科生被削减,故[C]属张冠李戴;第二段首句提到教职人员面临的压力也加重了学生面临的挑战,并不是将教师的压力转化给学生,故[D]不符合文意。
