The United States boasts the best public universities in the world. No young person should be turned away because they were born into a family without enough money for tuition; nor should getting a degree consign(交付;委托) a person to decades of crippling debt. For the sake of fairness, class mobility, and the ideal of equality of opportunity, I believe generous financial aid should be available to all needy students for whom a four-year degree is the best way to achieve the American dream.
But I also know America is overwhelmingly led by people with college degrees and white collar backgrounds—people who overvalue their own path to success and rig the system against others who’d thrive under a different approach. Our elites are too often blind to the value of education that is received away from college, whether through apprenticeships or vocational schools or on-the-job training. They don’t always understand that there are lots of blue-collar jobs that are more fulfilling, better paying, and more in demand than lots of white-collar jobs. And they are blind to the wisdom in cultural enclaves where a young person is not considered “culturally competent” until knowing how to perform CPR, help a stranger change a flat, or work alongside people from different social classes without taking offense when their etiquette is different than the etiquette at UCLA or Berkeley.
So rather than promising free tuition, I have a more inclusive proposal: No matter your race or class or gender, you should be able to afford a degree from a public university without crippling debt if that path best maximizes your potential; and we should all value the important work being done at universities.
The future I want to see begins with redoubling America’s efforts at civic education in high school. Everyone with a high-school diploma should have learned all the tools they need to meaningfully participate as citizens in America’s government-by-the-people. In fact, adults who want to study American civics now should have that opportunity.
Next, for everyone who earns their diploma or GED, I propose financial aid for college or for an alternative investment in education that will help them toward any career that they choose, so long as they demonstrate that they’re making an informed decision. Yes, we’ll need to be watchful to fraudsters(行骗者) eager to get a piece of that money without offering valuable knowledge in return. But the problem will be no greater than under the status quo, when so much of the money that flows to public universities is wasted on administrative expansion and luxurious campus installations.
Finally, so that those who pursue routes other than four-year colleges are treated more fairly, I propose legal reforms to eliminate obstacles like professional-licensing requirements that amount to no more than credentialism( 文凭至 上主义),and a shift away from insisting on a bachelor’s degree for jobs that shouldn’t require one.
It is implied that the aim to reinforce high school education is to_______.
选项
A、maximize citizens’ potential
B、involve people in public affairs
C、reform American civic education
D、cultivate eligible citizens
答案
D
解析
由题干中的reinforce high school education定位到第四段第一、二句。推理判断题。本题考查加强美国高中教育的目的。定位句提到,美国人应加倍致力于高中阶段的公民教育,作者理想中的未来是每一个获得高中文凭的人都已学习在美国民治社会中作为公民积极参与其中所需的全部技能。由此推测,加强高中教育的目的就是培养出有能力参与社会政治生活的合格公民,故答案为D。A“最大程度的开发公民潜能”和B“改革美国的公民教育”在原文定位段中均没有提及,故排除;C“让人们参与到公共事务之中”在原文中并没有直接提到,在作者看来,教育的目的在于让国民具备这方面的技能,故排除。
