A、 1), it aims to ______.A. satisfy the needs of all kinds of students simultaneouslyB. focus on training students in various skillsC. encourage students to take as many courses as possibleD. make learning serve academic rather than productive ends

【正确答案】

【答案解析】细节理解题。根据题干到原文第一段定位。“In doing so...”其实指代的正是“many colleges have tried to be all things to all people”，而这样做的后果就是：大学越来越迎合一种狭隘的职业培训至上的观点，而没有能够开阔学生的眼界。可见高校开设很多课让学生选修，其首要目的在技术培训，以迎合就业，而非灌输基本知识。
