If the ultimate goal of undergraduate education in America were simply to convey a set body of knowledge, the term of studies could undoubtedly be reduced.

参考答案:

译文:假如美国本科教育的最终目的只是传授一定量的知识,那么学习的期限无疑就可以缩短。本题考核的知识点是:条件状语从句、词义的选择。该句是含if条件句的主从复合句,而且是虚拟语气。词汇方面:convey意思是“运送;传达,表达”,文中和knowledge搭配应译为“传授”。a body of原意是“大量,大批,大堆”,加入set后,可译为“一定量的”。term意思是“学期,期限;条款,条件,术语”等,根据上下文将它确定为“期限”。
