　　Universities Branch Out

　　As never before in their long history, universities have becomeinstruments of national competition as well as instruments of peace. They arethe place of the scientific discoveries that move economies forward, and theprimary means of educating the talent required to obtain and maintaincompetitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of national borders tothe flow of goods, services, information and especially people has madeuniversities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding andgeopolitical stability.

　　In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy,universities have become more self-consciously global: seeking students fromaround the world who represent the entire range of cultures and values, sendingtheir own students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courseof study that address the challenges of an interconnected world andcollaborative (合作的) research programs to advancescience for the benefit of all humanity.

　　Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping thanthe movement across borders. Over the past three decades the number of studentsleaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9percent, from 800,000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in 2004. Most travel from onedeveloped nation to another, but the flow from developing to developedcountries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developingcountries, is on the rise, too. Today foreign students earn 30 percent of thedoctoral degrees awarded in the United Statesand 38 percent of those in the United  Kingdom. And the number crossing borders forundergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America’s best institutions and 10 percent ofall undergraduates in the U.K.In the United States, 20percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering areforeign-born, and in Chinamany newly hired faculty members at the top research universities receivedtheir graduate education abroad.

　　Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of theirundergraduate years in another country. In Europe,more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year, takingcourses for credit in one of 2,200 participating institutions across thecontinent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students inthe summer internships (实习) abroad to prepare them forglobal careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduateat least one international study or internship opportunity—and providing thefinancial resources to make it possible.

　　Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One newtrend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yaleprofessor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs aresearch center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai’s FudanUniversity, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95employees and graduate students working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratoryseminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits bothcountries; Xu’s Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs ofconducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students, postdoctors andfaculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his U.S. team.

　　As a result of its strength in science, the United States hasconsistently led the world in the commercialization of major new technologies,from the mainframe computer and the integrated circuit of the 1960s to theInternet infrastructure (基础设施) and applicationssoftware of the 1990s. the link between university-based science and industrialapplication is often indirect but sometimes highly visible: Silicon Valley wasintentionally created by Stanford University, and Route 128 outside Boston has long housed companies spun offfrom MIT and Harvard. Around the world, governments have encouraged copying ofthis model, perhaps most successfully in Cambridge, England, where Microsoftand scores of other leading software and biotechnology companies have set up shoparound the university.

　　For all its success, the United States remains deeplyhesitant about sustaining the research- university model. Most politiciansrecognize the link between investment in science and national economicstrength, but support for research funding has been unsteady. The budget of theNational Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2003, but has risen moreslowly than inflation since then. Support for the physical sciences andengineering barely kept pace with inflation during that same period. The attemptto make up lost ground is welcome, but the nation would be better served bysteady, predictable increases in science funding at the rate of long-term GDPgrowth, which is on the order of inflation plus 3 percent per year.

　　American politicians have great difficult recognizing that admittingmore foreign students can greatly promote the national interest by increasinginternational understanding. Adjusted for inflation, public funding forinternational exchanges and foreign-language study is well below the levels of40 years ago, in the wake of September 11, changes in the visa process caused adramatic decline in the number of foreign students seeking admission to U.S.universities, and a corresponding surge in enrollments in Australia, Singaporeand the U.K. Objections from American university and the business leaders ledto improvements in the process and reversal of the decline, but the UnitedStates is still seen by many as unwelcoming to international students.

　　Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to thenation’s well-being through their scientific research, but many fear thatforeign students threaten American competitiveness by taking their knowledgeand skills back home. They fail to grasp that welcoming foreign students to theUnited States has two important positive effects: first, the very best of themstay in the States and— like immigrants throughout history—strengthen thenation; and second, foreign students who study in the United States becomeambassadors for many of its most cherished (珍视) valueswhen they return home. Or at least they understand them better. In America aselsewhere, few instruments of foreign policy are as effective in promotingpeace and stability as welcoming international university students.

　　Section B

　　Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Eachpassage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on thebest choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a singleline through the centre.

　　Passage One

　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

　　In this age of Internet chat, videogames and realitytelevision, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a childoccupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants tospend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of herstories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year.

　　As a writer I know about winning contests, and aboutlosing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive arejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to liveup to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win thecontest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of ourown past scars and dashed hopes can surface.

　　A revelation (启示) came last weekwhen I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I justwant to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”

　　I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously(自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely anexperienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offeredsuggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The storyabout a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into thetale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. Ihad turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.

　　Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easyas it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools orangels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter’s experience.

　　While stepping back was difficult for me, it wascertainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, puttingmyself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked. Allthe while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment,grow and find their own voices.

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

　　By almost any measure, there is a boom in Internet-basedinstruction. In just a few years, 34 percent of American universities havebegun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the largerschools, it’s close to 90 percent. If you doubt the popularity of the trend,you probably haven’t heard of the University of Phoenix. It grantsdegrees entirely on the basis of online instruction. It enrolls 90,000students, a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest privateuniversity in the country.

　　While the kinds of instruction offered in these programswill differ, DL usually signifies a course in which the instructors post syllabi(课程大纲), reading assignment, and schedules on Websites,and students send in their assignments by e-mail. Generally speaking,face-to-face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminatedaltogether.

　　The attraction for students might at first seem obvious.Primarily, there’s the convenience promised by courses on the Net: you can dothe work, as they say, in your pajamas (睡衣). Butfigures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced commitment to thecourse. While dropout rate for all freshmen at American universities is around20 percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselvesseem to understand the weaknesses inherent in the setup. In a survey conductedfor eCornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less than athird of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be asgood as the classroom course.

　　Clearly, from the schools’ perspective, there’s a lot ofmoney to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investmentsin servers and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses canrun on existing or minimally upgraded (升级) systems. Themore students who enroll in a course but don’t come to campus, the more schoolsaves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, andmaintaining parking lots. And, while there’s evidence that instructors mustwork harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons, they won’t be paid anymore, and might well be paid less.
