18.Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China's higher education reform?It's too early to answer.But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education.Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50students,so-called child prodigies(奇才),to begin classes on March 1,2011.On graduating in 2015,these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.
The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,but if the government will not approve the school,the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions.Other schools could turn their applications down for their unathorized diplomas.
The difficulties,however,have not frightened students and their parents away.On Dec.18,2010more than 1,000students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.
Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation.Not a penny comes from the government.So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.
The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011and 2020.The goal is to make China's higher education internationally competitive.To accomplish this goal,the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out.The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.
Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage.Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了備受關(guān)注的南方科技大學(xué)的高等教育改革,這所完全依靠私人投資運行的高等學(xué)府頂住重重阻力探索出一種新型的辦學(xué)模式,作者認(rèn)為這對教育改革是有益的.
解答 32.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段'these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities,可知這50名學(xué)生的與眾不同之處是他們畢業(yè)時將被授予不被教育部官方認(rèn)可的證書;故選D.
33.A.推理判斷題.通讀全文,可知南方科技大學(xué)在高等教育改革上敢于挑戰(zhàn)教育部,它的奇才培養(yǎng)模式將效仿香港科技大學(xué);雖然它面臨很多困難,但他們還是很踴躍地來到這所學(xué)校,由此可推測他們相信學(xué)校會有美好的未來;故選A.
34.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段"Other schools could turn their applications down for their unathorized diplomas"可知學(xué)生可能遭遇的麻煩是其他學(xué)校也許不接受他們的畢業(yè)文憑;故選C.
35.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段"Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation.Not a penny comes from the government"提到南方科技大學(xué)完全是私人運作,沒有政府的分文投入,再結(jié)全倒數(shù)第二段中的內(nèi)容可推斷作者認(rèn)為南方科技大學(xué)的這種獨立的經(jīng)營模式或許對教育改革有益;故選D.
點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
