For the most part, schools are designed to produce people who fit into society, not people who set out to change it. However, schools, particularly universities, may not only transmit culture; they may add to the cultural heritage. Contemporary American society places a good deal of emphasis on the development of new knowledge, especially in the physical and biological sciences, medicine, and engineering. In recent decades, the nation’s leading universities have increasingly become research centres.
An emphasis on research has led universities to judge professors not primarily in terms of their competence as teachers, but as researchers. Promotions, salary increases, and other benefits have long been dependent on research and publication. However, the, top priority is no longer publishing. To be successful these days, professors have to bring in funds from research grants provided by government and private industry. Critics contend that academic success is most likely to come to those who have learned to "neglect" their teaching duties to pursue research activities. Defenders say that even when students are not themselves involved in research projects they benefit from the intellectual .stimulation that a research orientation brings to university life.
Major research universities like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have also established a range of partner- ships with industrial concerns to develop technology and products with commercial potential. With university-industry ties continuing to grow, debate has flared about the consequences for basic science, academic openness, the control of information, the direction of research, and the influence on students.
The author seems______ the shift of emphasis to research.
选项
A、to be very dissatisfied with
B、to be sorry to see
C、to be in favor of
D、to be neutral about
答案
D
解析
选项D的意思为:“对……持中性态度”。文章的第一段引出讨论,第二段了几方面的看法。第三段指出,随着学校与企业的关系不断加强,对它所产生的影响也引发了争议,它的影响面波及基础科学研究、学术开放程度、信息的控制、科研方向选择等以及对学生的影响。可见,作者自始致终都未提到自己对这一现象的看法。C意为:“对……持支持态度”。
