What would Hedge seem to agree upon?

A.It is effective to make people stand all day.
B.Sitting promotes positive blood flow.
C.Workers should avoid working at the desk.
D.It is movement that really matters.

参考答案

D

答案解析

根据题干中的Hedge seem to agree upon定位到原文最后两段。
事实细节题。本题考查海奇教授的观点。定位段是海奇教授对于站立和久坐的看法。他不赞成站着工作,并提出了一个合理且最划算的方法:以适中的姿势坐着,微微靠向椅背,将键盘放在高于膝盖的托盘上。这个姿势可以促进血液循环。他还建议员工应该不时地四处走动,舒展一下身体,避免长时间坐在办公桌前。他说,关键在于运动,而非站立。D“重要的是运动”符合海奇教授的观点,故为本题答案。A“让人们整天站着是有用的”、B“坐着可以促进血液循环”和C“员工应当避免在办公桌前工作”均不符合文意,故排除。

1 Questions  are based on the following passage.
Nine of the ten campuses of the University of California--led by Berkeley--once again made it into an annual ranking of the world's leading universities. All's well in Californian higher education, it might seem.
But that is not what Pat Brown or Clark Kerr would say, were they alive today. They were, respectively, governor of the state and president of the University of California in 1960, when California adopted a "master plan" that became an international model. Their aim was not only to have excellent public universities, but to give the state's population nearly universal and free access to them. Some pupils would enter so-called community colleges for a two-year vocational programme, others one of the ( now 23 ) campuses of the California State University, and the best might go to a UC campus.
In order to assure access for all, tuition charges were banned--only "fees" for some costs other than education were allowed. Most funding was to come from taxpayers. The premise was that higher education was a public good for the state, which was nursing its own future entrepreneurs and taxpayers. As Mr. Kerr put it, the universities were "bait (诱饵) to be hung in front of industry, with drawing power greater than low taxes or cheap labour".
That consensus has been overturned. In 1990, the state paid 78% of the cost of educating each student.
That ratio dropped to 47% last year, and will fall even more during the current academic year, after the latest round of budget cuts, overseen by Jerry Brown, the current governor and son of Pat Brown. In some ways, California has now inverted the priorities of the older Brown's era. Spending on prisons passed spending on universities in around 2004.
This has led to concerns that the public universities might lose their excellence. It takes money to attract the best professors, and the best students follow them. An alternative to worse public universities, however, is quasi-privatized (半私有化) ones. That seems to be the route taken in California.
Thus students will this year, for the first time, pay more for tuition than the state gives in funding. This follows years of tuition fee increases far steeper than the average at American public universities. A place at a UC campus can easily now cost $13,000, or $ 31,000 including housing given California's high costs.
To raise other revenues, the various campuses also admit ever more out-of-state students ( who pay three times more) and target rich graduates for more donations. Led by the business and law schools, they behave increasingly like private universities, in other words. This strategy retains pockets of excellence. But it also runs counter to the philosophy of the master plan, by pricing ever more Californian families out of a place. The state now ranks 41st in the number of college degrees awarded for every 100 of its high school graduates.

A.building an international model of tmiversities around the world
