25、Mitch Daniels asked the faculty to prove that their students have actually achieved one of higher educations most important goals:critical thinking skills.Two years before,a nationwide study of college graduates had shown that more than a third had made no _26_ gains in such mental abilities during

26、their school years.Mr.Daniels needed to _27_ the high cost of attending Purdue to its students and their families.After all,the percentage of Americans who say a college degree is very important has fallen _28_ in the last 5-6 years.Purdue now has a pilot test to assess students critical thinking sk

27、ills.Yet like many college teachers around the U.S.,the faculty remain _29_ that their work as educators can be measured by a learning _30_ such as a graduates ability to investigate and reason.However,the professors need not worry so much.The results of a recent experiment showed that professors ca

28、n use _31_ metrics to measure how well students do in three key areas:critical thinking,written communication,and quantitative literacy.Despite the success of the experiment,the actual results are worrisome,and mostly _32_ earlier studies.The organizers of the experiment concluded that far fewer stu

29、dents were achieving at high levels on critical thinking than they were doing for written communication or quantitative literacy.And that conclusion is based only on students nearing graduation.American universities,despite their global _33_ for excellence in teaching,have only begun to demonstrate

30、what they can produce in real-world learning.Knowledge-based degrees are still important,but employers are _34_ advanced thinking skills from college graduates.If the intellectual worth of a college degree can be _35_ measured,more people will seek higher educationand come out better thinkers.A)accu

33、ce of Carbon 欢迎您阅读并下载本文档，本文档来源于互联网，如有侵权请联系删除！我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档！第 6 页 共 10 页 A)Fossil fuel prices are likely to stay low for long.Notwithstanding important recent progressin developing renewable fuel sources,low fossil fuel prices could discourage further innovationin,and adoption of,cleaner energy tech

34、nologies.The result would be higher emissions ofcarbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.B)Policymakers should not allow low energy prices to derail the clean energy transition.Actionto restore appropriate price incentives,notably through corrective carbon pricing,is urgentlyneeded to lower the ris

35、k of irreversible and potentially devastating effects of climate change.That approach also offers fiscal benefits.C)Oil prices have dropped by over 60%since June 2014.A commonly held view in the oilindustry is that the best cure for low oil prices is low oil prices.The reasoning behind thissaying is

36、 that low oil prices discourage investment in new production capacity,eventuallyshifting the oil supply curve backward and bringing prices back up as existing oil fieldswhichcan be tapped at relatively low marginal costare depleted.In fact,in line with past experience,capital expenditure in the oil

37、sector has dropped sharply in many producing countries,including the United States.The dynamic adjustment to low oil prices may,however,bedifferent this time around.D)Oil prices are expected to remain lower for longer.The advent of new technologies has addedabout 4.2 million barrels per day to the c

38、rude oil market,contributing to a global over-supply.In addition,other factors are putting downward pressure on oil prices:change in thestrategic behavior of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries,the projectedincrease in Iranian exports,the scaling-down of global demand(especially from e

39、mergingmarkets),the long-term drop in petroleum consumption in the United States,and somedisplacement of oil by substitutes.These likely persistent forces,like the growth of shale(页岩)oil,point to a low for long scenario.Futures markets,which show only a modest recovery ofprices to around$60 a barrel

40、 by 2019,support this view.E)Natural gas and coalalso fossil fuelshave similarly seen price declines that look to be long-lived.Coal and natural gas are mainly used for electricity generation,whereas oil is used mostlyto power transportation,yet the prices of all these energy sources are linked.The

41、NorthAmerican shale gas boom has resulted in record low prices there.The recent discovery of thegiant Zohr gas field off the Egyptian coast will eventually have impact on pricing in theMediterranean region and Europe,and there is significant development potential in many otherplaces,notably Argentin

42、a.Coal prices also are low,owing to over-supply and the scaling-downof demand,especially from China,which bums half of the worlds coal.F)Technological innovations have unleashed the power of renewables such as wind,hydro,solar,and geothermal(地热).Even Africa and the Middle East,home to economies that

43、 areheavily dependent on fossil fuel exports,have enormous potential to develop renewables.For example,the United Arab Emirates has endorsed an ambitious target to draw 24%of itsprimary energy consumption from renewable sources by 2021.G)Progress in the development of renewables could be fragile,how

44、ever,if fossil fuel pricesremain low for long.Renewables account for only a small share of global primary energyconsumption,which is still dominated by fossil fuels30%each for coal and oil,25%for naturalgas.But renewable energy will have to displace fossil fuels to a much greater extent in thefuture

45、 to avoid unacceptable climate risks.H)Unfortunately,the current low prices for oil,gas,and coal may provide little incentive forresearch to find even cheaper substitutes for those fuels.There is strong evidence that bothinnovation and adoption of cleaner technology are strongly encouraged by higher

46、 fossil fuelprices.The same is true for new technologies for alleviating fossil fuel emissions.I)The current low fossil fuel price environment will thus certainly delay the energy transitionfrom fossil fuel to clean 欢迎您阅读并下载本文档，本文档来源于互联网，如有侵权请联系删除！我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档！第 7 页 共 10 页 energy sources.Unless re

47、newables become cheap enough thatsubstantial carbon deposits are left underground for a very long time,if not forever,theplanet will likely be exposed to potentially catastrophic climate risks.J)Some climate impacts may already be discernible.For example,the United Nations ChildrensFund estimates th

48、at some 11 million children in Africa face hunger,disease,and watershortages as a result of the strongest El Nino(厄 尔尼诺)weather phenomenon in decades.Many scientists believe that El Nino events,caused by warming in the Pacific,are becoming moreintense as a result of climate change.K)Nations from aro

49、und the world have gathered in Paris for the United Nations Climate ChangeConference,COP 21,with the goal of a universal and potentially legally-binding agreement onreducing greenhouse gas emissions.We need very broad participation to fully address theglobal tragedy that results when countries fail

50、to take into account the negative impact oftheir carbon emissions on the rest of the world.Moreover,non-participation by nations,ifsufficiently widespread,can undermine the political will of participating countries to act.L)The nations participating at COP 21 are focusing on quantitative emissions-r
