【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: According to a study of race and equity in education, black athletes are dropping out of college across the country at alarming rates. With us, to talk about the findings in the study, is Washington Post Columnist, Kevin Blackstone. Good morning. M: Good morning. How are you? W: Fine, thank you. What is new that you found in this study? M: Well, this is Shawn Hopper's study. And he points out that on major college campuses across the country, black males make up less than 3% of undergraduate enrollments. Yes, when you look at the numbers or the percentages on the revenue generating sports teams of football and basketball, they make well into 50-60% of those teams. So the idea is that they are really there to be part of revenue-generating working class of athletes on campus, and not necessarily there to be part of the educating class as most of the students in other groups are. W: Compared with other groups, I think the numbers in this group at those 65 schools are something like just barely more than half of the black male athlete graduate at all. M: Exactly. And what's really bad about this is these athletes are suppositively promised at least one thing—as reward for all their blood and sweat. And that is a college degree which can be a transformative tool in our society when you talk about op-mobility. And that's really the troubling part about this. W: Wow, this is been talked about so much really in recent years. Why hasn't it changed? M: Well, I think one of the reasons it hasn't changed is because there is really no economic pressure to change this. All of the incentive is really unwilling and not losing on the field or on the court. Coaches do not necessarily have the incentive to graduate players.
