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.
On which of the following statements would the author probably agree?
选项
A、Current students are more prepared for the changing society.
B、Universities are trying to stimulate teachers by increasing their income.
C、There is no teacher willing to help students when confronted with research pressure.
D、The current situation urgently needs attention and resolutions.
答案
D
解析
观点态度题。文章中作者讲述了高等教育所面临的问题:随着科技的发展,已无法为学生适应21世纪提供必需的技能和知识,最后作者指出虽然改善这一状况并非轻而易举,但迫在眉睫,故[D]与作者的态度相符。第一段第四句指出,很多大学生没有像以前那样准备充分,[A]与文意相悖;第三段第三句指出学校留下少量的专业老师来教新入学的学生,并没有说他们准备提高教师的待遇,[B]属无中生有;第三段第一句提到那些想在学生身上多花些精力的老师,也常常面临很大的困难,可见,并不是没有老师这样做,故[C]不符合文意。
