Professor Kline concludes that competition with research in the universities is so detrimental to teaching that he recommends that the two functions be physically and financially separated by setting up research institutes. I suggested that the development of a sound program of educational research would be much more beneficial to teaching. Such a program would not only improve teaching theory and technique, it would make clear what competencies are required of a good teacher and help professors attain them. Educational research should be required to meet the same standards as scientific research, but it cannot be raised to those standards without comparable support and commitment. Competent educational research is no more a part-time activity than competent scientific research. The relatively trivial educational research so common in the universities is an inevitable consequence of trivial commitment by the universities. Rather than belittle such research, the professors have an obligation to see that it is upgraded. Let no one think that educational research is easy: it is concerned with no less than unraveling the complexities of the human mind. There is no reason to believe that an effective theory and technology of instruction is any easier to achieve than controlled nuclear fusion. It is certainly every bit as worthy.

第4题:B
第5题:D
第1题:
细节事实题。由原文第一段Professor Kline concludes that competition with research in the universities is so detrimental to teaching that he recommends the two functions be physically and financially separated by setting up research institutes.可知,Professor Kline认为研究成果的竞争会对教育产生负面的影响,从而降低教学质量,即对教学有不利影响。因此,B选项为正确答案。
第2题:
细节事实题。由原文… the development of a sound program of educational research would be much more beneficial to teaching.以及Educational research should be required to meet the same standards as scientific research…可知,作者认为必须提高educational research的地位,要把educational research和scientific research放在同等重要的位置共谋发展。A选项research institutes一直就是学校比较重视的方面;B选项并未在文中单独说明;D选项也不是侧重点。因此,C选项符合原文,为正确答案。
第3题:
观点态度题。由原文Educational research should be required to meet the same standards as scientific research, but it cannot be raised to those standards without comparable support and commitment.可知,作者认为教育研究应该与科学研究有一样的标准,但是如果没有同等的投入和支持,无法实现这些标准。因此,B选项认为“科学研究的有些标准,教育研究无法实现”是正确答案。故本题选择B选项。
第4题:
细节事实题。根据原文Let no one think that educational research is easy: it is concerned with no less than unraveling the complexities of the human mind.可知,作者认为教育研究并不简单,难度不亚于解开人类思维的复杂性。故本题正确答案为B选项。
第5题:
细节事实题。通过原文The relatively trivial educational research so common in the universities is an inevitable consequence of trivial commitment by the universities. Rather than belittle such research, the professors have an obligation to see that it is upgraded.可知,如今在大学中,教育研究需要更多的承诺,教授们有责任促进教学科研水平的提高,而不是减少这类研究。因此,D选项是正确答案。
