Text 2 For years, studies have found that first-generation college students—those who do not have a parent with a college degree—lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created “a paradox” in that recruiting first-generation students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has “continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close” achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science. But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach (which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program) can close 63 percent of the achievement gap (measured by such factors as grades) between first-generation and other students. The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students (who completed the project) at an unnamed private university. First-generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree. Most of the first-generation students (59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need, while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with a four-year degree. Their thesis—that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact—was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students. They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap. Many first-generation students “struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education, learn the 'rules of the game,' and take advantage of college resources,” they write. And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don't talk about the class advantage and disadvantages of different groups of students. Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students’ educational experience, many first-generation students lack sight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students 'like them' can improve.
选项
Recruiting more first-generation students has ______. A.reduced their dropout rates B.narrowed the achievement gap C.missed its original purpose D.depressed college students
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。由题干关键词recruiting more first-generation students可定位到第一段的第四句,原文提到This has created “a paradox”,暗示结果与目的不一致,而且下文还提到then watching many of them fail,说明招募的第一代大学生中挂科人很多,这又扩大了基于社会阶层的差距。This has created “a paradox”与C项“missed its original purpose”是同义替换,因此选C项。由“rather than close an achievement gap based on social class”可排除B项;A项和D项在文中未提及到。
