University academics are concerned because ______.
A.young people are showing less interest in higher education
B.students cannot understand modem academic texts
C.academic books are too childish for their undergraduates
D.there has been a significant change in student literacy
参考答案
正确答案:D
解析:该题问:大学的学者们十分焦虑的原因是什么?A项意为“年轻人对高等教育不感兴趣”,这在文中没有提到。B项意为“学生不能理解现在的学术文章”,这是干扰项,推理不正确。C项意为“对于大学生来说,教科书简直太简单了”,原文没有提及。D项意为“学生的读写能力发生了巨大的变化”,在本文的第六段可以找到线索:The response of educators has been to extend the use of pictures in books and to simplify the language,even at senior levels.The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge recently held joint conferences to discuss the noticeably rapid decline in literacy among their undergraduates意为“教育家们已经开始对在高年级出现的使用图画和简化语言的现象做出反应。牛津和剑桥大学最近召开联合会议,讨论大学生读写能力下降的问题。因此可知D项为正确选项。
