问题     Why aren’t the University, Colleges and Institutes just called "University"? The simpler answer is that, with a few exceptions, the University Colleges and Institutes do not usually award all their own degrees. 【R1】______
    University Colleges and Institutes tend to be much smaller than typical British universities.【R2】______Typically, the present University Colleges and Institutes have developed and grown from Teachers’ Colleges.【R3】______Then they started to offer other courses and degrees, broadly comparable to any university, the only difference being that these institutions do not normally provide degrees in such subjects as Law, Engineering, and Medicine.
   【R4】______In terms of the courses and subjects offered, there is likely to be an emphasis on those subjects that are closely associated with the School curriculum — Arts or Humanities subjects. Teacher education itself, of course, almost certainly remains as a strong component of the whole array of courses taught by a University College or Institute. Professional training for the classroom is something which these institutions have specialized in since their foundation, and no University is likely to do it better. 【R5】______
    Perhaps, there is virtue and merit in what is small: sheer size, especially if it means a loss of what is most human and personal, is not something to be sought of its own sake. 【R6】______
    Lectures and tutors have to be well qualified because they teach degree courses that are in every way equal in standard to those taught at Universities. 【R7】______
    Quality assurance is guaranteed. International recognition and comparability with all other British degrees are not in question. 【R8】______
    A. The particular strengths of the University Colleges and Institutes lie in their somewhat particular origins.
    B. At least some of the degrees, especially at postgraduate level, are likely to be awarded by a large university with which the college or institute is associated.
    C. But it is not only a matter of size, but also their origins that make them somewhat different from Britain Universities, old or new.
    D. Until about 20 years ago in most cases, they would have been exclusively concerned with the professional training of teachers.
    E. So, parents, students, and sponsors need have no doubt about the quality or standing of the degrees that the Colleges award.
    F. Also associated with the smaller institutions’ origins is their strong continuing pastoral tradition and care for the individual student.
    G. So what else should students, parents, and sponsors worry?
    H. The relatively small University Colleges and Institutes have all the facilities and equipment of the bigger Universities.
【R2】
选项
答案C
解析 第2段第1句提到，学院通常要比大学小得多：“University Colleges…British universities．”第2段的第3句开始叙述学院的起源：“Typically，the present…from Teachers’Colleges，”句2应当是具有连接作用的一句，而B句提到“但不仅是规模，并且还有其起源使它们不同于英国的大学”，因此B句在这里具有承上启下的作用。另外，句B中的“their”“them”与第1句中的“University College and Institutes”相呼应，因此应选C。
