Judging from the three new roles envisioned for tomorrow’s university

Judging from the three new roles envisioned for tomorrow’s university faculty, university teachers

are required to conduct more independent research.

are required to offer more courses to their students.

are supposed to assume more demanding duties.

are supposed to supervise more students in their specialty.

答案及解析：本题考查推断。第二句指出：“assembling customized degree credit programmes for individual students by mixing and matching the best course offerings available from institutions all around the world”可以看出将来对大学教员的要求越来越高，要将世界各地大学的优秀课程进行整合之后再传授给学生，综上， C选项正确。第六段首句指出：“instead of giving lectures and conducting independent research”，即“而不是授课和进行独立的研究”，故排除A。末句指出：“...are likely to be working with many more students outside their own academic specialty”，可知大学教员将来不是“管理更多的自己专业的学生”，而是要“和更多其他专业的学生接触”，故排除D。故正确答案为C项。
