The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be "all things to all people". In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrow minded careerism while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students. The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields, the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends. Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree. In short, driven by careerism, "the nation’s colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials(文凭)than in providing a quality education for their students. "The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an integrated core of common learning. Such a core would introduce students to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus. "
Although the key to a good college is a high-quality faculty, the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed: "Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most. " Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four-year degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicated themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure(终身任期), promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculties say their interests lie more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that " There is pressure to publish, although there is virtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications. "
It can be inferred from the passage that high-quality college education calls for______.
选项
A、putting academic work in the proper context
B、a commitment to students and effective teaching
C、the practice of putting learning to productive ends
D、dedication to research in frontier areas of knowledge
答案
B
解析
细节推断题。原文首段尾句是报告得出的关于学校应该向学生做什么的结论…introduce studentsto essential knowledge,to connections across the disciplines…to application of knowledge to life beyondthe campus这些内容都是学校应该向学生做出的承诺。原文尾段首句提出most colleges在鼓励goodteaching方面做得很少,故good teaching应该也是high-quality college education应该具备的,与选项B中的effective teaching对应。故答案为B。
