【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 trinating(灌輸) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall into line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn39。t matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments (入學(xué)) go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them. One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty per cent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up. （1）It39。s implied but not stated in the passage that . A.many other countries are facing the same problemB.whitecollar workers in the US used to make more money than bluecollar workersC.fewer students will prefer to go to college in the futureD.the law of supply and demand has a strong effect on American higher education（2）Which of the following is NOT a reason why college enrollments go up every year? A.Many people believe that the only way to success is a college education.B.Many parents want their children to go to college.C.High school teachers urge their students to go to college.D.Every young man and woman wants to go to college.（3）By saying many people go to college who do not belong there, the author means that . people who are not fit for college education go to college people who do not have enough money go to college people who go to college drop out within the first year people who go to college have their hopes destroyed（4）We can infer from the passage that the author believes that . young man and woman should go to college education is a bad thing with a college education should receive higher pay people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobs【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，通過(guò)調(diào)查告訴人們要改變傳統(tǒng)的觀念:應(yīng)首先考慮選擇技術(shù)性的工作——因?yàn)樗狈θ瞬?待遇更高。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“The old gap that whitecollar workers make a better living than bluecollar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favours the skilled workmen.” 可推知白領(lǐng)工人以前比藍(lán)領(lǐng)工人賺的錢(qián)多,故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Parents begin indoctrinating (灌輸) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn39。t matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go.”可知A,B,C三項(xiàng)正確,而D項(xiàng)不是大學(xué)入學(xué)人數(shù)增加的原因,故選D。 （3）考查句義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Of the sixty per cent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.”可知作者列舉了三種情況,說(shuō)明有些人不適合大學(xué)教育,故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷?？v觀全文可知,作者通過(guò)調(diào)查告訴人們大學(xué)教育的人才過(guò)多,而技術(shù)工人又非常缺乏,因而待遇反而更高。接著又分析了造成這種狀況的原因。最后還談到了很多學(xué)生上了大學(xué)卻因種種原因無(wú)法完成學(xué)業(yè)。所有這些都在暗示人們,上大學(xué)的人應(yīng)該減少,而參加技術(shù)工作的人應(yīng)該增多，故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷和句義猜測(cè)兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中, 選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 Hobbies in general are being something of the past. Our lives are already filled with classes, homework, working, relationships and sleeping. When we do have a spare moment, it is all too easy to spend it on the endless entertainment and media that are right at our fingertips. I do not doubt that there are some people who could bee a great writer or musician. I only fear that so many people are busy pursuing their education and their careers, but they never even see the potential (潛能) they have. The next great photographer or singer could be going to college right now. But they might not even know they have a gift for photographing or singing if they39。ve never picked up a camera or a guitar. Of course, the final goal of pursuing a new hobby shouldn39。t be to bee rich and famous. For most people, a hobby is just something they enjoy doing for the purpose of the thing itself. Such hobbies are still very useful. Studies have shown that people who have a hobby are less likely to have stress and more likely to have more meaningful lives. Most importantly, a hobby is just something you do to make you happy. I hate to break it to you, but we all have a long lifetime of work and stress ahead of us. It will make things much easier if we can practice the piano or make some collections after work. Sure, it39。s not easy to start a new hobby while going to school, but it will likely never get easier than it is right now. So think about the thing that you have always wanted to try but were too embarrassed or busy or whatever. You never know, you might bee the world39。s next great people. If not, you39。ll at least be a little more wellrounded, more interesting and less stressed.（1）What does Paragraph 1 mainly show?
