Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.The typical pre-industrial family not only had a good many children, but numerous other dependents as well - grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Such extended families were

29、suited for survival in slow paced 26 societies. But such families are hard to 27 . They are immobile. Industrialism demanded masses of workers ready and able to move off the land in pursuit of jobs, and to move again whenever necessary. Thus the extended family 28 shed its excess weight and the so-c

30、alled nuclear family emerged-a stripped-down, portable family unit 29 only of parents and a small set of children. This new style family, far more 30 than the traditional extended family, became the standard model in all the industrial counties. Super-industrialism, however, the next stage of eco-te

31、chnological development, 31 even higher mobility. Thus we may expect many among the people of the future to carry the streamlining process, a stepfurther by remaining children, cutting the family down to its more 32 components, a man and a woman. Two people, perhaps with matched careers, will prove

32、more efficient at navigating through education and social status, through job changes and geographic relocations, than the ordinarily child-cluttered family. A 33 may be the postponement of children, rather than childlessness. Men and women today are often torn in 34 between a commitment to career a

33、nd a commitment to children. In the future, many 35 will sidestep this problem by deferring the entire task of raising children until after retirement.

The Three-Year Solution A Hartwick College, a small liberal-arts school in upstate New York, makes this offer to well-prepared students: earn your undergraduate degree in three years instead of four, and save about $43,000, the amount of one

36、 years tuition and fees. A number of innovative colleges are making the same offer to students anxious about saving time and money. Thats both an opportunity and a warning for the best higher-education system in the world. B The United States has almost all of the worlds best universities. A recent

37、Chinese survey ranks 35 American universities among the top 50, eight among the top 10. Our research universities have been the key to developing the competitive advantages that help Americans produce 25% of all the world wealth. In 2007, 623,805 of the s worlds brightest students were attracted to

38、American universities. 第 5 頁(yè) 共 12 2 期末考試2020-2021 2 期末考試C Yet, there are signs of peril（危險(xiǎn)） within American higher education. U.S. colleges have to compete in the marketplace. Students may choose among 6,000 public, private, nonprofit, for-profit, or religious institutions of higher learning. In add

39、ition, almost all of the $32 billion the federal government provides for university research is awarded competitively. D But many colleges and universities are stuck in the past. For instance, the idea of the fall-to-spring school year hasnt changed much since before the American Revolution, when we

40、 were a nation of farmers and students put their books away to work the soil during the summer. That long summer stretch no longer makes sense. Former George Washington University president Stephen Trachtenberg estimates that a typical college uses its facilities for academic purposes a little more

41、than half the calendar year. While college facilities sit idle, they continue to generate maintenance expenses that contribute to the high cost of running a college, he has written. E Within academic departments，tenure（終身職位） , combined with age-discrimination laws ，makes faculty turnovercritical for

42、 a university to remain current in changing times difficult. Instead of protecting speech and encouraging diversity and innovative thinking, the tenure system often stifles （壓制） them: younger professors must win the approval of established colleagues for tenure, encouraging likemindedness and someti

43、mes inhibiting the free flow of ideas. F Meanwhile, tuition has soared, leaving graduating students with unprecedented loan debt. Strong campus presidents to manage these problems are becoming harder to find, and to keep. In fact, students now stay on campus almost as long as their presidents. The a

44、verage amount of time students now take to complete an undergraduate degree has stretched to six years and seven months as students interrupted by work, inconvenienced by unavailable classes, or lured by one more football season find it hard to graduate. G Congress has tried to help students with co

45、llege costs through Pell Grants and other forms of tuition support. But some of their fixes have made the problem worse. The stack of congressional regulations governing federal student grants and loans now stands twice as tall as I do. Filing out these forms consumes 7% of every tuition dollar. H F

46、or all of these reasons, some colleges like Hartwick are rethinking the old way of doing things and questioning decades-old assumptions about what a college degree means. For instance, why does it have to take four years to earn a diploma? This fall,16 first-year students and four second-year studen

47、ts at Hartwick enrolled in the schools new three-year degree program. According to the college the plan is designed for high-ability, highly motivated students who wish to save money or to move along more rapidly toward advanced degrees. I By eliminating that extra year, three-year degree students s

48、ave 25% in costs. Instead of taking 30 credits a year, these students take 40. During January, Hartwick runs a four-week course during which students may earn three to four credits on or off campus, including a number of international sites. Summer courses are not required, but a student may enroll

49、in them-and pay extra. Three year students get first crack at course registration. There are no changes in the number of courses professors teach or in their pay. J The three-year degree isnt a new idea. Geniuses have always breezed through. Judson College, a 350-student institution in Alabama, has

50、offered students a three-year option for 40 years. Students attend short terms in May and June to earn the credits required for graduation. Bates College in Maine and Ball State University in Indiana are among other colleges offering three-year options. K Changes at the high-school level are also he

51、lping to make it easier for many students to earn their undergraduate degrees in less time. One of five students arrives at college today with Advanced Placement (AP) credits amounting to a semester or more of college-level work. Many universities, including large schools like the University of Texa

52、s, make it easy for these AP students to graduate faster. L For students who dont plan to stop with an undergraduate degree, the three-year plan may have an even greater appeal. Dr. John Sergent, head of Vanderbilt University Medical Schools residency （住院醫(yī)生） program，enrolled in Vanderbilts undergrad

53、uate college in 1959. He entered medical school after only three years as did four or five of his classmates. My first year of medical school counted as my senior year, which meant I had to take three to four labs a week to get all my sciences in. I basically skipped my senior year, says Sergent. He

For one, it deprives students of the luxury of time to roam （邀游） intellectually. Compressing everything into three years also lea

55、ves less time for growing up, engaging in extracurricular activities, and studying abroad. On crowded campuses it could mean fewer opportunities to get into a prized professors class. Iowas Waldorf College has graduated several hundred students in its three-year degree programs, but is now phasing o

56、ut the option. Most Waldorf students wanted the full four-year experienceacademically, socially, and athletically. And faculty members will be wary of any change that threatens the core curriculum in the name of moving students into the workforce. Most high governmental officials seem to conceive of

57、 education in this light-as a way to ensure economic competitiveness and continued economic growth, Derek Bok, former president of Harvard told The Washington Post. I strongly disagree with this approach. Another risk: the new campus produce less revenue for the institution and longer working hours

58、for faculty members. N Adopting a three-year option will not come easily to most schools. Those that wish to tackle tradition and make American campuses more cost-conscious may find it easier to take Trachtenbergs advice: open campuses year- round. You could run two complete colleges, with two compl

59、ete faculties, he says. Thats without cutting the length of students vacations, increasing class sizes, or requiring faculty to teach more. O Whether they experiment with three-year degrees, offer year-round classes, challenge the tenure system or all of the aboveuniversities are slowly realizing th

60、at to stay competitive and relevant they must adapt to a rapidly changing world. Expanding the three-year option may be difficult, but it may be less difficult than asking Congress for additional financial help, asking legislators for more state support, or asking students for even higher tuition pa
