Xi stressed the important role of higher educational institutions and universities in research while also urging long-term efforts and more input in basic research. He required a determination of the direction and development goals for the nation's basic research.查过牛津，该句require跟明显是作“法律法规的要求”，常用被动，即该句应为a development goals for…… was required. 若用主动，其主语应为law,rule等表示法律法规的词，如The rules require his attendence at the court. 请老师点评，谢谢
