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 constrained(强逼), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in a 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.
According to the second paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项
A、The society is not satisfied with the current college education.
B、The governments ask too much from colleges.
C、Teachers are forced to do what they don’t like to do.
D、University teachers like to provide practical courses.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。由第二段第一句“In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not re—main‘ivory towers’of study separated from the realities of everyday life.”可知,近年来,大学受到了越来越多的来自政府和公众的压力。这说明社会和公众对当前的大学教育是不满意的。所以答案为A。
