A.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。 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. Of course, the final goal of pursuing a new hobby shouldn39。 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。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷和句義猜測兩個(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。最后還談到了很多學(xué)生上了大學(xué)卻因種種原因無法完成學(xué)業(yè)?？v觀全文可知,作者通過調(diào)查告訴人們大學(xué)教育的人才過多,而技術(shù)工人又非常缺乏,因而待遇反而更高。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,說明有些人不適合大學(xué)教育,故選A。t matter.

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。The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. 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. Under this pressure the kids fall into line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn39。 On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, and TV repairmen.The US Department of Labour statistics (統(tǒng)計(jì)) show that there is an oversupply of collegetrained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to pete for jobs that aren39。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。ll already know that they are, or have a plan to get that way.”可知教會(huì)了孩子文中提到的策略，孩子就可以知道他們自己是否特別，或者已經(jīng)在變得特別的路上。t need parents, or a mencement (畢業(yè)典禮)speaker, to tell them that they39。 （4）考查主旨大意。由此可推測變得特別的策略表明我們需要對(duì)自己誠實(shí)，也需要?jiǎng)e人對(duì)我們誠實(shí)。re doing, but just what it is that you39。 （3）考查推理判斷。由此可推斷，得高分的學(xué)生擅長自己所作的。根據(jù)第二段中的“suffer from a “dual burden: they39。故選D。根據(jù)第一段中的“But lost in the uproar （喧囂）was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether they39。想要變得特別，我們需要對(duì)自己誠實(shí)和他人對(duì)我們的誠實(shí)。s Admit That We Are Not That Special or Not?
