问题     Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities; research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served?
    In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain "ivory towers"(象牙塔)of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases compelled, to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.
    A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but "man" , as the Bible says, "does not live by bread alone. " Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.
We can know from the first paragraph that the author______.
选项 A、believes traditional universities have done a good job serving the community
B、believes it remains to be discussed how universities should meet the needs of society
C、thinks some experts require too much of universities
D、thinks universities should do more than just research and teach
答案B
解析 推理判断题。文章第一段提出了“大学怎样为社会服务”这一根本问 题，下面几段就是围绕这个问题展开讨论的。由此可推知，大学究竟该如何满足社会 的需要这一问题有待讨论，因此B项符合题意。
