22、 Two recently released books offer significant criticisms of the current landscape of higher education. As to what we should do about those problems, the two books propose completely opposed solutions.
Bryan Caplan, a professor of economics at George Mason University, gives away his big idea in his title, “The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money.” Caplan argues that the primary value of a college degree is in what it “signals” rather than what people may have learned or experienced.
In Caplan’s view, most education is wasted on the young, who are incapable of appreciating or benefiting freedom education. Caplan’s solution is to “stop using tax dollars to fund education of any kind.” He sees a greater role for vocational or trade education, starting early as children fail to show interest or aptitude (资质) in school subjects, which should primarily focus on the “practical”-not art, music or anything else. Caplan even puts in a good word for child labor as an alternative to the schooling they neither enjoy nor appreciate.
Cathy Davidson, director of the Futures Initiative at the City University of New York, offers a different attitude in “The New Education: How to Revolutionize the University to Prepare Students for a World in Flux (变化).”
Davidson also believes higher education needs to change, but rather than starving it, she advocates for a broad-based “revolution” that attacks the barriers between students and learning, including educational costs, approaches to curriculum, and how we measure and credential (提供证明) students. Davidson has a chapter on “college for everyone”, examining the potential to innovate community colleges to serve as ladders to social mobility.
Education does need to continue to evolve. But it’s Davidson who has a vision for what education could and should be that’s consistent with the traditional values of freedom, opportunity and progress we associate with education. As to which of these two visions we’d like to follow, we have a choice. I hope we choose wisely.
【1】Why does Bryan Caplan criticize the present higher education?
A.It fails to teach students overall knowledge.
B.It spends too much time on ungifted students.
C.It costs students much money for education in college.
D.It wastes students’ time in learning unpractical knowledge.
【2】What can we learn from Cathy Davidson’s book?
A.Higher education should be accessible to all students.
B.Government shouldn’t fund college students with tax dollars.
C.The barriers between students and learning won’t be broken down.
D.Community colleges have helped more students achieve social mobility.
【3】The two books are introduced in the passage to stress ________.
A.the problems with higher education
B.the necessity of higher education reform
C.the situation of the present higher education
D.the popularity of the two newly released books
23、 How do you kill your time on your way to work? Most of us stare at our cell phones, and refuse to make eye contact with others. We just read, chat with others online or play games online. Or maybe we' re using the time between stops to do our makeup, catch up on emails, or read a few chapters of a book. However, Dina Alfasi takes a very different approach.
Each day she has to travel hours on buses and trains to get to her engineering job at a hospital in Israel . Rather than look at her cell phone in silence, she uses one very special way to have connection with strangers. It is portraits of the people she meets on public transport every day that she is taking. The paintings catch those quiet and personal moments of people readying themselves for the day ahead. Some people lean their head against the window and go to sleep, some stare into space and have a daydream, and others sit quietly to read their documents or books. Each picture catches one tiny moment in people's lives, ripe with potential for your imagination. It is wonderful for her to look at someone's commute （上下班）and make up an entire story about the rest of their daily existence, from the father travelling with a baby to the woman welcoming a change.
“ What inspires me very much are the little moments that happen every day," Dina told My Modern Met. "My work is to tell stories through a single portrait, and it proves that all you need is just to look around and find those magic moments.”
【1】As for people's behaviour on the way to work, what does Paragraph 1 imply?
A．Most of us like to catch early buses.
B．Most of us need to go to work punctually.
C．Most of us tend to concentrate on our mobile phones.
D．Most of us feel frightened to make eye contact with others.
【2】What makes Dina different from others?
A．Sitting quietly to read her books.
B．Keeping chatting with others all the way.
C．Using phones to take photos of every scene attracting her.
D．Drawing people while travelling on buses and trains to work.
【3】What might be the Dina Alfasi's attitude towards watching people's little moments?
A．Sceptical.
B．Enjoyable.
C．Cautious.
D．Tolerant.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．Little moments make Dina special.
B．Cell phone is used to take special portraits.
C．Dina takes portraits of others when commuting.
D．People go to work with different ways to kill time.
