It’ s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the college Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate leaders; none of them is talking about getting fid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we hale to expand the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing and at where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women, and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesn’ t occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need.
Likewise, I don’ t hear people in the academy saying, "Let’ s go backward. Let’ s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy" ( which was never true -- we never had a meritocracy, although we’ ve come closer to it in the last 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media -- not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
选项
A、American political circles will not accept diversity.
B、It is unlikely that diversity will occur in the US media.
C、No debate is heard about diversity in minorities.
D、Meritocracy can never be realized without diversity.
答案
D
解析
关于diversity的问题,政界和媒体的确有争论,但不能由此推出多样性将来不会被政界接受或是美国媒体不会出现多样性。因此排除A项和B两项。少数人群欢迎多样性,但他们对此问题是否有争论,我们不得而知,也就不能得出C项的结论。通过排除只剩下 D项。如果从第二段第一句话也可推断出此意。本文的中心思想在于作者强调多样性对社会政治经济的影响,可以猜测出作者认为现在还没有实现meritocracy的原因就在于diversity还没有在社会中实现。
