问题 Passage 2Teacher education provided by U．S． colleges and universities has been routinely criticized sinceits inception in the early nineteenth century, sometimes deservedly． These programs, likenon-university programs, are uneven in quality and can be improved． What makes today′ s criticismsdifferent is an aggressive effort by advocacy groups, and self-proclaimed educational entrepreneursto deregulate the preparation of teachers, and to expand independent, alternative routes intoteaching．This effort to "disrupt" the field of teacher preparation in the United States has gainedconsiderable momentum and legitimacy, with venture capitalists, philanthropy, and the U．S．Department of Education all providing sponsorship and substantial funding．The strength of this effort is that the United States may quickly seek to dismantle its universitysystem and replace much of it with independent, private programs． The resulting system of teacherpreparation may differ dramatically in its government, structure, content, and processes movingaway from its current location alongside legal, medical, and other professional preparation that pairsacademic degrees with professional training．Throughout the nation, states are reporting teacher shortages in particular subject areas andgeographical locations, and several states have either passed legislation to lower the standards forbecoming a teacher or, like the state of Washington, have looked toward expanding the number ofteacher education providers to try to fill teaching vacancies． The federal government has contributedto the push to lower standards for becoming a teacher with the Teacher Preparation Academyprovision in the new K-12 education law, the Every Student Succeeds Act, which encourages statesto expand the number of independent programs not associated with colleges and universities．Because of the increasing tuition rates, a consequence in part, of cuts in funding to publicuniversities that continue to educate most U．S． teachers, enrollments in college and universityteacher education programs have declined in many parts of the country． Independent teachereducation programs are being viewed by some as an important part of the solution in staffing thenation′s classrooms and addressing our serious and enduring problems in education inequities．Additionally, advocacy groups, philanthropists, and so-called education entrepreneurs are workingaggressively to expand these independent alternative routes into teaching．Given the seriousness of the teacher shortage problem in the United States and the substantialmedia attention that has been given to independent teacher education programs as the solution toteacher shortages and education inequities, policy makers should very carefully examine theevidence that exists about the nature and impact of these relatively new programs that are rapidlyexpanding while university teacher education enrollments decline．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
选项 A.The university system of the United States will completely collapse．B.The university system of the United States will be totally restructured．C.The new teacher education programs may not grant students academic degrees in the future．D.The new teacher education programs will follow the usual practice of other professionalpreparation．
答案D
解析推断题。根据第三段末尾“The resulting system ofteacher preparation may differdramatically in…moving away from its current location alongside legal，medical，and other professional preparation”可推断出，新的师范教育项目会遵照其他职业教育的惯例，D项正确。A项“美国的高等教育系统会完全瓦解”，该说法过于绝对。B项“美国高等教育系统将会被完全调整”，根据第三段第一句中“theUnited Statesmayquickly seek to dismantle its university system and replace much of it with independent，private programs”可知，只是大部分会被调整，而不是完全调整。C项“未来私立师范项目将不会为师范学生颁发学位证书”，文中未提及。故选D。
