Ofthe forcesshapinghigher educationnoneis more sweepingthan themovementacrossborders.Over the
past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual
rateof3.0percent,from8000,000in1975to2.5millionin2994.Mosttravelfromonedevelopednationto
another, but the flow from developing to developed countries id growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from
developed to developing countries, is on the rise, too. Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the
doctoral degrees awarded in the United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the
number crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at
America’sbestinstitutionsand10percentofallundergraduatesintheU.K.IntheUnitedStates,20percent
of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly hired
facultyhiredfacultymembersatthetopresearchuniversitiesreceivedtheirgraduateeducationabroad.
Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in another
country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year, taking
coursesfor credit in one of2, 2000 participating institutions across the continent.And in the United States,
institutions are helping place students in summer internships（实习）abroad to prepare them for global
careers.YaleandHarvard have ledtheway,offeringevery undergraduateatleastoneinternationalstudyor
internshipopportunityandprovidingthefinancialresourcestomakeitpossible.
Globalization is also reshapingthe wayresearch is done. One new trend involves sourcingportions of
a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Shanghai’s Fudan
University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95
employees and graduate students working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratory seminars with scientists from

Asaresultofitsstrengthinscience,theUnitedStateshasconsistentlyledoftheworldintheworldin
the commercialization of major new technologies, from the mainframe computer and integrated circuit of
2/27the1960stotheinternetinfrastructure(基础设施)andapplicationssoftwareof
the 1990s.The link between university-based science and industrial application is often indirect but
sometimeshighlyvisible:SiliconValleywasintentionallycreatedbyStanfordUniversity,and
Route 128 outside Boston has long housed companies spun off from MIT and Harvard. Around the
world ,governments have encouraged copying of his model, perhaps most successfully in Cambridge,
England, where Microsoft and scores of other leading software and biotechnology companies have set up
shoparoundtheuniversity.
For all its success, the United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining the research university
model.Mostpoliticianrecognizethelinkbetweeninvestmentinscienceandnational
Economic strength, but support for research funding has been unsteady. The budget of the National
Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2003,but has risen more slowly than inflations since then.
Support for the physical sciences and engineering barely kept pace with inflation during that same period.
The attempt to make up lost ground is welcome, but the nation would be better served by steady,
predictable increases in science funding at the rate of long-term GDP growth, which is on the order of
inflationplus3percentperyear.
Americanpoliticianshavegreatdifficultyrecognizingthatadmittingmoreforeignstudentscangreatly
promote the national interest by increasing international understanding. Adjusted for inflation, public
fundingfor internationalexchanges andforeign-language studyis well below the levels of 40 years ago. In
the wake of September 11,changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the number of foreign
students seeking admission to U.S. Universities, and a corresponding surge in enrollments in Australia,
SingaporeandtheU.K.ObjectionsfromAmericansuniversityandbusinessleadersledtoimprovementsin
the process and a reversal of the decline ,but the United States is still seen by many as unwelcoming to
internationalstudents.
Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to the nation’s well-being through their
scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threaten American competitiveness by taking their
knowledge and skills back home. They fail to grasp that welcoming foreign students and like immigrants

ambassadors for many of its most cherished(珍视) values when they return home. Or at least they

PassageOne
Questions57to61arebasedonfollowingpassage.
By almost any measure , there is a boom in Internet-based instruction . In just a few years , 34 percent of
American universities have begun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger
schools,it’scloserto90percent.Ifyou doubtthepopularity ofthetrend,you probablyhaven’t.Itenrolls
90,000student,astatisticusedtosupportitsclaimtobethelargestprivateuniversityinthecountry.
While the kinds of instruction offered in these programs will differ, DLusually signifies a course in which
the instructions post syllabi(课程大纲), reading assignments , and schedules on Websites , and students
sendin their assignments bye-mail. Generally speaking , face-to-face communication with aninstructor is
minimizedoreliminatedaltogether.
The attraction for students might at first seem obvious . Primarily , there’s the convenience promised by
courseson the Net: you cando the work, as they say , in your pajamas(睡衣). But figures indicate that the
reduced effort results in a reduced commitment to the course . While dropout rates for all freshmen at
Americanuniversities is around20percent, therate foronline studentsis 35percent.Students themselves
seem to understand the weaknesses inherent in the setup . In a survey conducted for eCornell , the DL
divisionofCornellUniversity,lessthanathirdoftherespondentsexpectedthequalityoftheonlinecourse
tobeasgoodastheclassroomcourse.
Cleary form the schools perspective , there’s a lot of money to be saved . Although some of the more
ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software ,
most DLcourses can run on existing orminimally upgraded(升级)systems .The more students who enroll
in a course but don’t come to campus , the more the school saves on keeping the lights on in the
classrooms , paying doorkeepers , and maintaining parking lots , And there’s evindence that instructors
must work harder to run a DLcourse for a variety of reasons , won’t be paid any more , and might well be
