The University in Transformation, edited by Australian futurists Sohail Inayatullah and Jennifer Gidley, presents some 20 highly varied outlooks on tomorrow's universities by writers representing both Western and non-Western perspectives. Their essays raise a broad range of issues, questioning nearly every key assumption we have about higher education today.
The most widely discussed alternative to the traditional campus is the Internet University--a voluntary community of scholars and teachers physically scattered throughout a country or around the world but all linked in cyberspace. A computerized university could have many advantages, such as easy scheduling, efficient delivery of lectures to thousands or even millions of students at once, and ready access for students everywhere to the resources of all the world's great libraries.
Yet the Internet University poses dangers, too. For example, a line of franchised courseware, produced by a few superstar teachers, marketed under the brand name of a famous institution, and heavily advertised, might eventually come to dominate the global education market, warns sociology professor Peter Manicas of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Besides enforcing a rigidly standardized curriculum, such a "college education in a box" could undersell the offerings of many traditional brick and mortar institutions, effectively driving them out of business and throwing thousands of career academics out of work, note Australian communications professors David Rooney and Greg Hearn.

- 答案详解：原文既提到网络大学的优势（如灵活排课、高效授课、资源共享），又明确指出其潜在风险（课程标准化、冲击传统院校、导致教师失业），既不盲目支持也不极端批判，观点客观平衡，故选 [B]。
[A]“支持”、[C]“轻微批判”、[D]“强烈批判” 均片面解读了作者态度，排除。

传统大学校园最受热议的替代方案是网络大学 —— 这是一个由学者和教师组成的自愿社群，他们在地理上分散于一个国家或世界各地，但通过网络空间紧密相连。这种计算机化的大学具有诸多优势，例如排课灵活、能同时向数千甚至数百万学生高效授课，且能让各地学生便捷获取全球所有顶尖图书馆的资源。

The Future of Traditional Universities in the Digital Age
In the digital age, the rise of Internet universities has sparked widespread discussion about the future of traditional universities. While online education offers convenience and efficiency, traditional universities will still occupy an irreplaceable position by leveraging their unique advantages.
Firstly, traditional universities provide irreplaceable face-to-face interaction. In classrooms and laboratories, students can engage in in-depth discussions with professors, collaborate with peers on projects, and gain hands-on experience--experiences that online education struggles to replicate. For example, scientific experiments, group debates, and internships on campus help students develop practical skills and interpersonal relationships, which are crucial for career development.
Secondly, traditional universities foster a strong sense of community and campus culture. The campus environment, including libraries, dormitories, and extracurricular activities, shapes students' values and personalities. Participating in clubs, sports events, and cultural festivals allows students to grow holistically, not just academically. Such cultural immersion cannot be achieved through a screen.
In conclusion, traditional universities will not be replaced by Internet universities. Instead, they will thrive by integrating digital technologies to enhance teaching quality while preserving their core strengths of in-person interaction and campus culture. The future lies in the symbiosis of online and traditional education, offering students a comprehensive and diverse learning experience.

- 内容：结合实验、辩论、社团活动等具体案例，论据充分，符合 200 词要求；
- 语言：使用 “irreplaceable, in-depth discussions, hands-on experience, cultural immersion, symbiosis” 等学术词汇，句式多样（定语从句、让步状语从句），表达规范流畅。
