It is not surprising that a philosophy borrowed from business should see its principal focus within education as the furthering of the connection with business and industry. Moreover, when a philosophy is implemented at governmental level by people, the majority who learnt their understanding of life within this environment, it is not surprising that they should picture education as feeding this goal.
In an age when the US is seen as being in desperate, almost cut-throat competition with industrial neighbors, it becomes an article of faith that to maintain present standards of living, education must increasingly focus upon training the youth of the country to compete in such markets. This demand is. of course, nothing new. A number of factors come together to pro vide the motive force for making education the handmaiden(女仆人) of the job market. For those with economic blinkers(具有狭隘见解的人), such concentration makes good sense, but for those who take a wider view of the purposes of education, this appears narrow and damaging, even, in the long term, to the economic good health of the country. It is possible to argue for the ultimate purposes of education from different standpoints.
The one that appears to be the motive force in much educational decision-making at the present time values knowledge that is conducive to the furtherance of the national economic well-being. It sees the child as a being to be trained to fit into this economic machine. Initiative and activity are encouraged only as far as these dovetail(吻合) with ultimate occupational destinations. The teacher, therefore, is seen as a trainer, a constructor, a transmitter. However, there are many who value knowledge which is perceived as part of that country’s cultural heritage while other child-centred advocates see the curriculum as based on each individual child’s experiences and interests, each being active, involved, unique constructors of their own reality. Others see schools as being essentially concerned with pressing social issues which need to be resolved, and therefore the curriculum takes the form of being topic or problem-based.
Such sketches do not begin to do justice to the complexity and richness of argument, which may be contained in differing educational ideologies. However, if they at the very least convey the profound conflicting views, these descriptions suggest that there is truth in each of them, but none must have the stage to itself.
选项
A、business and education find so much in common
B、politicians expect education to be like a business
C、the education world is managed by people from the business philosophy
D、those Who come from the business world think education should serve industry needs
答案
D
解析
题干中的it is not surprising that在文章中出现了两次;第一段的第一句和最后一句。选项均涉及到了business和education,由此可以判断,此题考查的是对文章第一句话的理解。首先分析句子成分,这是一个It is...that...结构,that后边是主语从句,从句的主语是a philosophy borrowed from business,谓语see和后面的as构成了see...as...的搭配。这句话是说:商业哲学认为,教育应主要关注如何强化与工商业的联系,这不足为奇。这里的a philosophy borrowed from business是指来自商界的people的观点,出于利益考虑,他们理所当然地认为教育应该和工商业密切相关。因此,选项D最符合文章语义。
