单选题The University in Transformation, edited by Australian futurists Sohail Inayatullah and Jennifer Gidley, presents some 20 highly varied outlooks on tomorrow's universities by writers representing both Western and non-Western perspectives. Their essays raise a broad range of issues, questioning nearly every key assumption we have about higher education today. The most widely discussed alternative to the traditional campus is the Internet University—a voluntary community to scholars/teachers physically scattered throughout a country or around the world but all linked in cyberspace. A computerized university could have many advantages, such as easy scheduling, efficient delivery of lectures to thousands or even millions of students at once, and ready access for students everywhere to the resources of all the world's great libraries. Yet the Internet University poses dangers, too. For example, a line of franchised courseware, produced by a few superstar teachers, marketed under the brand name of a famous institution, and heavily advertised, might eventually come to dominate the global education market, warns sociology professor Peter Manicas of the University of Hawaii at Manoah. Besides enforcing a rigidly standardized curriculum, such a "college education in a box" could undersell the offerings of many traditional brick and mortar institutions, effectively driving them out of business and throwing thousands of career academics out of work, note Australian communications professors David Rooney and Greg Hearn. On the other hand, while global connectivity seems highly likely to play some significant role in future higher education, that does not mean greater uniformity in course content—or other dangers—will necessarily follow. Counter-movements are also at work. Many in academia, including scholars contributing to this volume, are questioning the fundamental mission of university education. What if, for instance, instead of receiving primarily technical training and building their individual careers, university students and professors could focus their learning and research efforts on existing problems in their local communities and the world? Feminist scholar Ivana Milojevic dares to dream what a university might become " if we believed that childcare workers and teachers in early childhood education should be one of the highest(rather than lowest)paid professionals?" Co-editor Jennifer Gidley shows how tomorrow's university faculty, instead of giving lectures and conducting independent research, may take on three new roles. Some would act as brokers, assembling customized degree-credit programmes for individual students by mixing and matching the best course offerings available from institutions all around the world. A second group, mentors, would function much like today's faculty advisers, but are likely to be working with many more students outside their own academic specialty. This would require them to constantly be learning from their students as well as instructing them. A third new role for faculty, and in Gidley's view the most challenging and rewarding of all, would be as meaning-makers: charismatic sages and practitioners leading groups of students/colleagues in collaborative efforts to find spiritual as well as rational and technological solutions to specific real-world problems. Moreover, there seems little reason to suppose that any one form of university must necessarily drive out all other options. Students may be "enrolled" in courses offered at virtual campuses on the Internet, between—or even during—sessions at a real-world problem focused institution. As co-editor Sohail Inayatullah points out in his introduction, no future is inevitable, and the very act of imagining and thinking through alternative possibilities can directly affect how thoughtfully, creatively and urgently even a dominant technology is adapted and applied. Even in academia, the future belongs to those who care enough to work their visions into practical, sustainable realities.

单选题{{B}}Passage Two{{/B}}
No one can be a great thinker who does
not realize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to
whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of
one who, with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true
opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to
think. Not that it is solely, or chiefly, to form great thinkers that
freedom of thinking is required. On the contrary, it is much or even more
indispensable to enable average human beings to attain the mental stature, which
they are capable of. There have been, and may again be, great individual
thinkers in a general atmosphere of mental slavery. But there never has been,
nor ever will be, in that atmosphere an intellectually active people.
Where any people has made a temporary approach to such a character, it has
been because the dread of heterodox speculation was for a time suspended.
Where there is a tacit convention that principles are not to be disputed;
where the discussion of the greatest questions which can occupy humanity is
considered to be closed, we cannot hope to find that generally high scale of
mental activity which has made some periods of history so remarkable.
Never when controversy avoided the subjects which are large and important
enough to kindle enthusiasm was the mind of people stirred up from its
foundations and the impulse given which raised even persons of the most ordinary
intellect to something of the dignity of thinking beings. He who
knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may
be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is
equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side; if he does not so
much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion.
The rational position for him would be suspension of judgment and unless
he contents himself with that, he is either led by authority, or adopts, like
the generality of the world, the side to which he feels the most inclination.
Nor is it enough that he should hear the arguments of adversaries from his
own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer
as refutations. That is not the way to do justice to the arguments, or
bring them into real contact with his own mind. He must be able to hear
them from persons who actually believe them; who defend them in earnest, and do
their very utmost for them. He must know them in their most plausible and
persuasive form: he must feel the whole force of the difficulty which the true
view of the subject has to encounter and dispose of else he will never really
possess himself of the portion of truth which meets and removes that difficulty.
Ninety-nine in a hundred of what are called educated men are in this
condition, even of those who can argue fluently for their opinions. Their
conclusion may be true, but it might be false for anything they know: they have
never thrown themselves into the mental position of those who think differently
from and considered what such persons may have to say, and consequently they do
not, in any proper sense of the word, know the doctrines which they themselves
profess. They do not know those parts of it which explain and justify the
remainder: the considerations which show that a fact which seemingly conflicts
with another is reconcilable with it, or that, of two apparently strong reasons,
one and not the other ought to be preferred.
