题目内容
17.When times get hard,we all look for ways to cut back.When we're hungry,we eat at home instead of going out.We take buses instead of taxis.And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer.With college expenses at all-time highs,high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor's degree in three years instead of four.Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient.But there's a question:Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer?Few US universities have formally supported a"three-year degree"model.
I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程)any time soon.For one thing,most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分).In addition,at famous universities,the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly"throw out"one quarter of the required credits.Professors will resist"diluting(稀释)"the quality of the education they offer.
In my opinion,a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education.A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major.If we want to help students find their way through university,we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation.We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible.We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies,such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.

分析 本文为议论文.作者认为把大学四年的学制缩短为三年不是一个好主意,保证足够的时间才能保证大学教育的质量.
解答 29.A.细节理解题.根据第二段Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer?Few US universities have formally supported a"three-year degree"model可知大部分美国高校没有接受"三度"模式;故选A.
30.C.推理判断题.在第四段作者给出了自己的观点,从"A college education requires sufficient time for a
student to become skilled in their major…""It is not a good idea to water down education"等处可以看出作者非常看重大学教育质量;故选C.
31.B.标题选择题.根据最后一段In my opinion,a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education.A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major可知作者认为把大学四年的学制缩短为三年不是一个好主意,学好大学功课是需要付出时间的,故B项最佳.
