第5题：
Text 2 For years,studies have found that first-generation college students—those who do not havea parent with a college degree—lag other students on a range of education achievement factors.Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher.But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education,colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them.This has created“a paradox”in that recruiting first-generation students,but then watching many of them fail,means that higher education has“continued to reproduce and widen,rather than close”an achievement gap based on social class,according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journalPsychological Science.But the article is actually quite optimistic,as it outlines a potential solution to this problem,suggesting that an approach（which involves a one-hour,next-to-no-cost program）can close 63 percent of the achievement gap（measured by such factors as grades）between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities,and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students（who completed the project）at an unnamed private university.First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree.Most of the first-generation students（59.1 percent）were recipients of Pell Grants,a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need,while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with a four-year degree.Their thesis—that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact—was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students.They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first-generation students“struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education,learn the‘rules of the game,’and take advantage of college resources,”they write.And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don’t talk about the class advantages and disadvantages of different groups of students.“Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students’educational experiences,many first-generation students lack sight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students‘like them’can improve.”We may infer from the last paragraph that_____A.universities often reject the culture of the middleclass
B.students are usually to blame for their lack of resources
C.social class greatly helps enrich educational experiences
D.colleges are partly res答案：D解析：推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭推理题。本题主要考查考生有效辨别段落核心信息，进行适度推理的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键词“infer from the last paragraph”定位到最后一段。本题是段落推理题，可以通过寻找段落中心句的方式来解。本段共三句：第一句和第二句是并列关系，均提出“初代”学生中存在的与社会阶层有关的问题。第三句以一个“because”所引导的原因状语从句点明中心，明确该问题的来源是美国高校未承认社会阶层对学生教育经历的影响，说明高校应该为出现的问题担负部分责任。因此D项正确。【干扰排除】A项、B项、C项在此段并未提及，属于无中生有，故排除。 -

Recruiting more first generation students has____A.reduced their dropout rates
B.narrowed the achievement gap
C.missed its original purpose
D.depressed college students答案：C解析：细节题【命题思路】这是一道细节题。主要考查考生准确理解题干，精准定位，并能正确划分和掌握定位信息的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键词“recruiting more firstgeneration students”定位到第一段的第四句。But后内容为解题关键。本句指出在招录“初代”大学生时出现的困境及产生的不良结果，即“不断产生和扩大成就差距，而不是缩小差距”。由此证明背离了初衷。比对四个选项，确定最佳选项为C项。【干扰排除】A项与原文的“their dropout rates are higher”矛盾，属于反向干扰，故排除。B项也是反向干扰，与原文的“rather than close”矛盾。C项属于张冠李戴，原文中的depressing是用来修饰the paper，而非大学生，故排除。 -

正确答案： A解析：

单选题In the 2nd paragraph, “those who don’t fit the pattern” refers to______.Ahigh school graduates who aren’t suitable for college education
Bcollege graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxis
Ccollege students who aren’t any better for their higher education
Dhigh school graduates who failed to be admitted to college
正确答案： C解析：
fit the pattern意为“符合这个模式”，结合上下文可知人们心目中高等教育的模式指的是“college will help them earn more money，become ‘better’ people，and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.”，所以那些“不符合这个模式的人”没有很高的收入、没有更有教养或更有责任感，是那些接受了高等教育却没有任何进步的人，故C项正确。 -
第10题：
问答题We have to ask ourselves: who really give the most value to society? Many college graduates could not find suitable jobs when they finish their higher education. What are the job problems for college graduates? Write a composition to state your view on this issue.正确答案：
WHY IS IT SO DIFFIUCLT TO FIND A JOB? Every year thousands of graduates flood the job market, expecting better jobs in their majors, only to be frustrated and disappointed. Why do college students find it increasingly difficult to get a rewarding job?
One reason perhaps is that many colleges and universities fail to gear their curricular to the development of industries. Degree courses offered in these colleges and universities are so outdated, irrelevant and impractical that the employers as well as the students themselves find it hard to translate their book knowledge into real job skills. No one wants to know about their mind-broadening and horizon-widening qualities, and few are willing to spend time and budget on training raw recruits.
Secondly, there is an oversupply of graduates in certain specialties, and this oversupply is increasing. Already there is an overabundance of lawyers, executive secretaries, sales engineers and other specialists due to the ambitious investment and booming industries brought on by the economic reforms in recent years. Yet colleges continue every year to turn out the graduates of these specialties to compete for jobs that aren't there. The result is that many of them cannot enter the professions for which they are trained and have to take other jobs which do not require a college degree.
Thirdly, there is a problem with the attitude of college graduates toward employment. Many of them put earnings above anything else. So they miss many opportunities. Is they have a realistic expectation of how much they should earn in the beginning of their career, it won't be difficult for them to get a job. Besides, they are also very particular about the place. Many college graduates are reluctant to seek a job in the less developed provinces, say, in the mid-western areas, where there are immense opportunities for success and career development. Instead, they all food to the big cities in the eastern coastal area, such as Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. As a result, the competition in these cities becomes more fierce.
The problems that college graduates encounter in job hunting deserve more attention from the colleges and the government. The colleges should get their students out of the ivory tower and gear their courses to the needs of industry and business. The government should provide college graduates with more vocational opportunities to develop new skills, and at the same time raise the wages in the intellectual field so as to retain those willingly devoted to academic studies and scientific research.解析：
题目要求讨论大学生就业过程中的问题。作者选择从为什么大学生就业难入手，在第二、三、四段分别给出了理由，即学校的课程设置与社会需求脱节、对工作的期望值太高以及部分专业供给过剩。最后一段总结全文，并提出了解决意见。 -

Bhigh school graduates do not fit the pattern of college education
Ctoe many students have to earn their own living
Dcollege administrators encourage students to drop out
正确答案： B解析：

单选题By saying “These ‘temporary’ jobs have a habit of becoming permanent” (Line 6~7,Para.1), the author means ______.Aonce college graduates take a temporary job, they soon get used to it
Bcollege graduates have the habit of taking temporary jobs

Dcollege graduates are accustomed to taking permanent jobs
正确答案： C解析：
首段第四句The result is that the graduates cannot enter the professions for which they are trained and must take temporary jobs, which do not require a college degree.指出大学毕业生找不到专业对口的工作，只能做一些临时性的工作，而这些工作根本用不着大学学历。由此可知，如果市场不能为大学毕业生提供专业对口的工作，那么高端人才只能去做临时工，这会成为惯例，因此选C)“许多大学毕业生也许永远找不到专业对口的工作”。 -
