问题   Institutions of higher learning must move,as the historian Waiter Russell Mead puts it,from a model of“time served”to a model of “stuff learned.”Because increasingly the world does not care what you know.Everything is on Google.The world only cares,and will only pay for,what you can do with what you know.And therefore it will not pay for a C-plus in chemistry,just because your state college considers that a passing grade and was willing to give you a diploma.We’re moving to a more competency-based world,where there will be less interest in how you acquired the competency and more demand to prove that you mastered the competency.
  Therefore,we have to get beyond the current system of information and delivery—the professorial“sage on the stage”and students taking notes,followed by a superficial assessment,to one in which  students are asked and empowered to master more basic material online at their own pace,and the classroom becomes a place where the application of that knowledge can be honed through lab experiments and discussions with the professor.
  There seemed to be a strong consensus that this “blended model” combining online lectures with a teacher-led classroom experience was the ideal.Last fall,San Jose State used the online lectures and interactive exercises of MIT’s introductory online Circuits and Electronics course.Students would watch the MIT lectures and do the exercises at home.Then in class,the first 15 minutes were reserved for questions and answers with the San Jose State professor,and the last 45 were devoted to problem-solving and discussion.Preliminary numbers indicate that those passing the class went from nearly 60 percent to about 90 percent.
  We demand that plumbers and kindergarten teachers be certified to do what they do,but there is no requirement that college professors know how to teach.No more.The world of MOOCs(Massive Open Online Courses)is creating a competition that will force every professor to improve his or her pedagogy or face an online competitor.
  Bottom line:There is still huge value in the residential college experience and the teacher-student and student-student interactions it facilitates.But to thrive.universities will have to nurture even more of those unique experiences while blending in technology to improve education outcomes in measurable ways at lower costs.We still need more research on what works.but standing still is not an option.
Institutions of higher learning must shift models because the world cares ________,

选项 A、the knowledge you have acquired in the college
B、the time you put into study and action
C、the way you master the learning ability
D、the things you can handle with your knowledge

答案D

解析 本题为细节题。根据题干关键词定位到第一段。该段第一句通过沃尔特·拉塞尔·米德指出了Institutions of higher learning must move…from a model…to a model.后面紧接着解释了原因,中心句是The world only cares…what you can do with what you know“这个世界只在乎你能利用自己的知识做什么”,与其表意一致的是D项“你能利用自己的知识做什么”,故D项为正确答案。A项“你在大学获得的知识”,B项“你在学习和行动上花的时间”,C项“你掌握学习能力的方式”,均与原文不符。
