The Four Years System of the United States Synthesizes Sex University
The four-year bachelor’s degree has been the model in the United States since the first universities began operating before the American Revolution. Four-year degrees were designed in large part to provide a broad-based education that teaches young people to analyze and think critically, considered vital preparation to participate in American democracy.
In an era when college students commonly take longer than four years to get a bachelor’s degree, some U. S. schools are looking anew at an old idea: slicing a year off their undergraduate programs to save families time and money. Advocates of a three-year undergraduate degree say it would work well for ambitious students who know what they want to study. Such a program could provide the course requirements for a major and some general courses that have long been the hallmark of American education.
However, to cram four years of study into three, some universities will require summer work, others will shave course lengths and some might cut the number of credit hours required. It will not be easy to produce a low-cost, high-quality three-year curriculum for a college degree, and today’s economic crisis and tight budgets are the best time to innovate and change.
But critics said they fear that an undergraduate’s academic and social experience would be compromised by shortening it to three years. College would tilt more toward job training and away from the broad-based education many U. S. schools have offered.
Discussions among educators and students about what constitutes a 21st-century college education in the information age increasingly include talk about how the economic downturn is making it more difficult for families to afford college—and about how schools must be more creative in assisting them.
Many students have extended their undergraduate stays for a variety of reasons, including the need to work to pay high tuitions. A new survey conducted by Junior Achievement and the Allstate Foundation found that 55 percent of teens had changed their college plans because of the economy.
Justin Guiffre, 19, a sophomore at George Washington University, said financial considerations might lead him to graduate in three years, an opportunity he has because of credits for Advanced Placement courses he took in high school. A three-year program could be appropriate for students who demonstrate commitment, academic excellence and maturity.
What does the author want to show by the example of Justin Guiffre?
选项
A、Economic burden may act as an incentive for students to work harder.
B、It is advisable for high school students to take part in Advanced Placement courses.
C、Students who are committed and excellent should be admitted first.
D、Many students have to alter their university education plan owing to bad economy.
答案
D
解析
根据题干关键词Justin Guiffre定位到第7段第1句,作者在此举Justin Guiffre的例子是想证明第6段第2句的内容:A new survey conducted by Junior Achievement and theAllstate Foundation found that 55 percent of teens had changed their college plans because ofthe economy.可知,Justin Guiffre的例子是为了阐释经济原因给求学计划带来的影响。题干altered是原句changed的同义转述;题干owing to是原句because of的同义转述。
