36、 approach， assignments等关键词得出。因此， B为正确选项。A、 C、 D选项虽都与培训课程相关，但不全面。 【知识模块】 对话 11 【听力原文】 W: Good evening, Im Nancy Johnson. The guest on our radio talk this evening is Professor Wang Gongwu Hello, Professor Wang. M: Hello. W: Professor Wang, youre now Professor Emeritus of Australia National University,

37、 and in your long academic career, youve worn many hats as tutor, lecturer, department head, dean, professor, and vice chancellor. However, as I know, youre still very fond of your university days as a student. M: Thats right. That was in 1949. The university that I went to was a brand new universit

38、y then, and the only one in the country at that time. When I look back, it was an amazingly small university, and we knew everybody. W: How did the students like you, for example, study then? M: We didnt study very hard, because we didnt have to. We didnt have all this fantastic competition that you

39、 have today. Mmm. We were always made to feel that getting a first degree in the Arts Faculty was not preparation for a profession. It was a general education. We were not under any pressure to decide on our careers, and we had such a good time. We were left very much on our own, and we were encoura

40、ged to make things happen. W: What do you see as the most striking difference in university education since then? M: University education has changed dramatically since those days. Things are very specialized today. W: Yes, definitely so. And, in your subsequent career experience as an educator and

41、later administrator in various institutions of higher education in Asia and elsewhere, Professor Wang, you have repeatedly noted that one has to look at the development of education in one particular country in a broad context. What do you mean by that? M: Well, the whole world has moved away from e

42、lite education in universities to meet the needs of mass education, and entering universities is no longer a privilege for the few. And universities today are more concerned with providing jobs for their graduates in a way that universities in our time never had to be bothered about. Therefore, the

43、emphasis of university programmes today is now on the practical and the utilitarian, rather than on a general education or on personal development. W: Do you think that is a welcome development? M: Well, I personally regret this development. But the basic bachelors education now has to cater to peop

44、le who really need a piece of paper to find a decent job. W: So youre concerned about this development. M: Yes, Im very concerned. With technical changes, many of the things that you learn are technical skills, which dont require you to become very well educated. Yet, if you can master those skills,

45、 you can get very good jobs. So the technical institutions are going to be increasingly popular at the expense of traditional universities. 1. According to the interview, what do we know about Professor Wang? 2. What was education like in Professor Wangs days? 3. According to Professor Wang, what is

46、 the greatest difference of university education between now and past? 4. According to Professor Wang, what is the purpose of the present-day education? 5. In Professor Wangs opinion, what are technical skills? 11 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 主持人在介绍王教授的时候谈到，他现在是澳大利亚国立大学的荣誉教授，一生中获得了非常多的职称。因此 B项的表述与之相符。 A项的 Visiti

47、ng Professor为 “客座教授 ”，故 A项不对；王教授上学的时候只有一 所大学，谈不上是不是最著名，排除 C项；王教授至今还很喜欢大学生涯，排除 D项。 【知识模块】 对话 12 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 教授谈到自己的大学生涯时说，获得文科学士学位并 “不是为职业做准备 ”，而是一种通识教育，学生也没有决定未来就业的压力。可见，当时的教育不以就业为目的，选项 C正确。 【知识模块】 对话 13 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 在谈到现在的大学教育与王教授时代的最大不同时，王教授说现在的大学教育更加专门化，选 B项。 【知识模块】 对话 14 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 说

48、到目前的大学教育，王教授说它更关注的是为毕业生提供就业机会。因此， B正确。选项 C与原文字眼相近，容易误选。原文说， “当今大学课程的重点是一些实用和功利的东西，而不是综合教育或个人的发展。 ”这与 C“To offer practical and utilitarian courses in each program ”并不一致。 【知识模块】 对话 15 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 在谈话中王教授说，学习技术能力不需要多高的教育水平。因此答案 C正确。 选项 A的含义正与原文相反； B、 D则未在原文中提及。 【知识模块】 对话 16 【听力原文】 W: Professor Wang

49、, lets look at a different issue. How do you comment on the current phenomenon because of the fees they pay? M: Well, once you accept students on financial grounds, one wonders whether you have to pass them as well. But this development in education is one that we have to contend with. Yet, if we are concerned about maintaining standards, what we can do is to concentrate on improving the quality of education. W: Yes, youre right. A university is judged by the quality of education it offers. Professor Wang, lets turn to the future. What type of graduates
