That statement is probably made in parison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of T252。bingen, in Germany, thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate postschool years in vocational (職業(yè)的) training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them. Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2,095 German youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness（認真）and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realistic, investigative and enterprising. They administered both tests twice—once towards the end of each volunteer39。s time at school, and then again six years later. Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job. When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not changed significantly. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either—except in one crucial respect. They had bee more conscientious. That sounds like a good thing, certainly pared with the mon public image of undergraduates as a bunch of lazybones. But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers. Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed beyond the degreeless. But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, puter programmers and financesector workers as careers requiring these traits. If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people39。s choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.（1）Which of the following can best replace beckoned for in Paragraph 2?

University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job. ”原始組中有382人就讀中等學校，這些人是研究人員重點關注的對象。其中212名被大學錄取，剩下的170人選擇職業(yè)培訓或參加工作。根據(jù)下文“The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.”從而可以猜測出beckoned for為召喚；吸引 之意。故選B。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them. ”然而，大學其實并沒有開闊人們的眼界。相反，是工作使人們的思維變得狹窄了。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. ”可知，但是那些選擇職業(yè)培訓的人，他們對探究型和開創(chuàng)型任務的興趣明顯下降，從而可以推斷出由于職業(yè)培訓，人們對調(diào)查性工作的興趣降低。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people39。s choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration. ”如果Golle 的結論正確，并且由于培訓（德國人以此為傲）而帶來態(tài)度上的變化縮小了人們的選擇，這確實是一個值得認真考慮的問題，可以推斷出，作者對這一發(fā)現(xiàn)持關注的態(tài)度。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇社會類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Corporate culture is the values and beliefs a pany develops over time. The role of corporate culture is to improve a pany39。s mission and strategies, with longterm hopes of improvements in a pany39。s profit. Mostly corporate culture es from a pany39。s top management. One role of corporate culture is to influence employee behavior, honesty, and pliance（服從）. A pany does not have to necessarily create a direct influence for these actions. A direct influence may be a set of written regulations or other policies, and
