What is Dr．Du Bois's ideal?

A．All Americans enjoy equal rights．
B．A person is judged by their worth．
C．A new term is created to address African Americans．
D．All ethnic groups share the nation's continued progress．

参考答案A

解析:
定位
由题干中的Dr．Du Bois's ideal定位到文章最后一句：Perhaps a new phrase is needed，one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois's original, idealistic hope: "It's not the name--it's the Thing that counts．"。
详解
定位句提到杜博斯的理想：“称谓不重要，事物本身才重要”。这个理想里面，Thin9很关键。
文章第二段提到，给任何一个群体命名都是一种承载着政治意义的活动。从全篇来看，对非洲裔美国人称谓的每次变化，都体现了对racial bias(种族歧视)的弱化。可是文章最后，作者提到，a new phrase is needed(需要一个新词汇)，这说明作者认为“African American”这个提法还不合适，还需要不断的改进。再结合杜博斯的话，“称谓不重要，事物本身才重要”。美国政府不断更换称谓就是为了消除种族歧视，而种族歧视的根源就是美国人没有真正地实现全民平等，所以由此得出，杜博斯的理想就是：所有美国人都享有平等的权利，故答案为A。
点睛
“对人的判断不应基于其称谓，而应是这个人本身”，杜博斯的话没有涉及到对人的判断，可以排除；C．“给非洲裔美国人创造一个新的称谓”，这个意见是作者提出的，而不是杜博斯，可以排除；D．“所有的种族都分享到国家的持续进步”，杜博斯的话主要关于如何判断一个人，没有涉及种族问题，可以排除。

Questions are based on the following passage．
Across the board, American colleges and universities are not doing a very good job of preparing their students for the workplace or their post-graduation lives．This was made clear by the work of two sociologists, Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa．In 2011 they released a landmark study titled"Academically Adrift," which documented the lack of intellectual growth experienced by many people enrolled in college．In particular, Arum and Roksa found, college students were not developing the critical thinking, analytic reasoning and other higher-level skills that are necessary to thrive in today's knowledge-based economy and to lead our nation in a time of complex challenges and dynamic change．
Arum and Roksa placed the blame for students' lack of learning on a watered-down college curriculum and lowered undergraduate work standards．Although going to college is supposed to be a Full-time job, students spent, on average, only 12 to 14 hours a week studying and many were skating through their semesters without doing a significant amount of reading and writing．Students who take more challenging classes and spend more time studying do learn more．But the priorities of many undergraduates are with extracurricular activities, playing sports, and partying and socializing．
Laura Hamilton, the author of a study on parents who pay for college, will argue in a forthcoming book that college administrations are overly concerned with the social and athletic activities of their students．In Paying for the Party, Hamilton describes what she calls the “arty pathway," which eases many students through college, helped-along by various clubs that send students into the party scene and a host of easier majors．By sanctioning this watered-down version of college, universities are"catering to the social and educational needs of wealthy students at the expense of others" who won't enjoy the financial backing or social connections of richer students once they graduate．
These students need to build skills and knowledge during college if they are to use their degrees as a stepping-stone to middle-class mobility．But more privileged students must not waste this opportunity either．As recent graduates can testify, the job market isn't kind to candidates who can't demonstrate genuine competence, along with a well-cultivated willingness to work hard．Nor is the global economy forgiving of an American workforce with increasingly weak literacy, math and science abilities．College graduates will still fare better than those with only a high school education, of course．But a university degree unaccompanied by a gain in knowledge or skills is an empty achievement indeed．For students who have been coasting through college, and for American universities that have been demanding less work, offering more attractions and charging higher tuition, the party may soon be over．
What is Arum and Roksa's finding about higher education in America?

A．It aims at stimulating the intellectual curiosity of college students．
B．It fails to prepare students to face the challenges of modern times．
C．It has experienced dramatic changes in recent years．
D．It has tried hard to satisfy students' various needs．
