Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist.
But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial squeeze, with no way to reduce rising cost or increase revenues significantly. Raising tuition doesn’t bring in more revenue, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.
It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, I worry about low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Effects to save them and preferably to keep them private, are national necessities. There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently better than public schools. Examples to the contrary abound.
Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous. In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Ardent supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education.
Which of the following is not mentioned?
选项
A、High-quality private schools deserve to be saved.
B、If the tuition is raised, the enrollment goes down.
C、There are many cases that public schools are better than private schools.
D、Private schools have more money than public schools.
答案
D
解析
从第一段第二、三句“Not all will be saved,and perhaps not all deserve to be saved.There are low—quality schools just as there are low—quality businesses.”可知,不是每一所学校都能被拯救,也不是每一所学校都值得拯救。质量低劣的学校就像经营不善的生意一样存在着。由此可知,只有那些办学质量高的学校才值得被拯救;又根据文章第二段第三句“for eachtime tuition goes up,the enrollment goes down”可知,因为每一次伴随着学费的升高,入学率就会下降;再根据文章第三段第四、五、六句“There is no basis for arguing that private schoolsare inherently better than public schools.Examples to the contrary abound.Anyone can name stateuniversities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world.”可知,认为私立学校本身就好于公立学校的想法是没有任何根据的。足以反驳这一想法的例子不计其数。每个人都能说出在这个民族乃至世界上排名最优秀的州立大学和学院的名字。由此可见,有的公立学校的办学质量好于私立学校;说私立学校比公立学校更有钱的说法文章中没有提到。据此判断,本题选D。
