Is going to college the best choice?
The chase for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation．All high school graduates ought to 90，says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence，because college will help them earn more money，become“better”people．a(chǎn)nd learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t 90．
But a college has never been able to work its magic for everyone．And now that close to half out high school graduates are attendin9，those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous，and more obvious．College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis(出租車)；college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate sch001．Others find no stimulation in their studies，and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators．
Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much．But that，s condemnation of the students as a whole，and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness．Others blame that state of the world，and they are partly right．We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen—year—olds．But disappointed graduates are learning that it can flo longer absorb aft army of trained twenty—two—year—olds．either．
Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that a college may not be the best，the proper，the only place for every young person after the completion of high sch001．AIl those surveys and statis。tics might have been connected with the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences．Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent，ambitious，happy，liberal，or quick to learn things—maybe it's just the other way around，and intelligent，ambitious，happy，liberal，quick—learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place．And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not．This is heresy to choose of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good，more has to be much better．But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up．

1．A．信息判斷句說“人們過去對高等教育充滿了信心?！?，與該問題相關(guān)的信息在文章第一段，該段說“人們認(rèn)為高中畢業(yè)生都應(yīng)該上大學(xué)這種觀點(diǎn)已經(jīng)被好幾代人接受了，而且無人對此提出質(zhì)疑。傳統(tǒng)的教義和統(tǒng)計證據(jù)表明，上大學(xué)可以幫助人們賺更多的錢?！睆脑摱蝺?nèi)容可以推斷出“人們過去對高等教育充滿了信心”，因此信息判斷句提供了正確信息。
2．c．信息判斷句說“一些大學(xué)生退學(xué)的原因是他們不能聽懂老師的講課?！钡?段中談到了學(xué)生退學(xué)，但并沒有談到他們退學(xué)的原因是因?yàn)椴荒苈牰麄兝蠋煹闹v課。第2段中淡到的學(xué)生退學(xué)原因是學(xué)生缺少在大學(xué)里繼續(xù)深造的學(xué)習(xí)動力，因此是否一些學(xué)生因?yàn)殛坎欢n程而退學(xué)，僅憑文章內(nèi)容無法了解，因此只能判斷信息判斷句所涉及的信息在文章中沒有被提到。
3．A．信息判斷句說“大學(xué)生退學(xué)率似乎一直在上升，造成這個現(xiàn)象的原因是年輕人在接受高等教育的過程中沒有學(xué)習(xí)動力?！崩眯畔⑴袛嘌械年P(guān)鍵詞drop—out(退學(xué))作為答案線索，在第2段后一句中找到答案相關(guān)句，該句說“另一些學(xué)生覺得學(xué)習(xí)沒有動力，就退學(xué)不上了，通常大學(xué)里的管理人員還鼓勵他們退學(xué)”，由此可以看出學(xué)習(xí)動力的缺乏是造成大學(xué)生退學(xué)的一個原因。在第2段中作者還提到“許多大學(xué)畢業(yè)生在賣鞋，開出租車，學(xué)生在做試驗(yàn)室互相干擾，在申請讀研究生的激烈競爭中偽造推薦信”，由此也可以推斷出大學(xué)生缺少繼續(xù)深造的學(xué)習(xí)動力，因此信息判斷句提供的信息正確。
4．A．信息判斷句說“大學(xué)教育問題的部分原因是因?yàn)樯鐣o法為那些受過良好培訓(xùn)的大學(xué)生提供足夠的工作機(jī)會?！蔽恼碌?段第4句和第5句說“過去人們教導(dǎo)年輕人應(yīng)該上大學(xué)，因?yàn)樯鐣?jīng)濟(jì)吸納不了一大批沒有受過培訓(xùn)的18歲年輕人，但是現(xiàn)在這些失望的畢業(yè)生逐漸認(rèn)識到我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)同樣也不能吸納一大批受過培訓(xùn)的22歲的年輕人”，由此可以推斷出造成大學(xué)教育出現(xiàn)問題的一個原因是“社會無法為那些受過良好培訓(xùn)的大學(xué)生提供足夠的工作機(jī)會”。
5．B．信息判斷句說“作者認(rèn)為大學(xué)教育只對那些有智慧的，有抱負(fù)的，能善于學(xué)習(xí)的人有益?！边@是一道文章主旨題，因此需要參看文章中各個段落的主題內(nèi)容：第一段第一句指出，上大學(xué)再也不適用于所有的人了，即使有些人上了大學(xué)也未必能多賺錢。第三段指出大學(xué)生不上大學(xué)的原因多樣化，有學(xué)生自己的問題，也有社會的問題，第4段中作者指出，也許大學(xué)并不能使人聰明，快樂或善于學(xué)習(xí)，也許大學(xué)的作用剛好相反，只不過大學(xué)首先吸引了那些聰明，快樂，善于學(xué)習(xí)的人，也許那些成功了的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生不上大學(xué)都會成功。由此可以看出，作者認(rèn)為“大學(xué)只是吸引了那些聰明，快樂，善于學(xué)習(xí)的人”，而不認(rèn)為大學(xué)只對這些人有益，文章中作者表述的觀點(diǎn)是“大學(xué)并不是所有高中畢業(yè)生的好選擇”。
6．B．信息判斷句說“后…段中提到的，調(diào)查和統(tǒng)汁數(shù)據(jù)’可能表明大學(xué)教育對于有智慧的人而言不是他們的首要選擇”，該句暗示“有智慧的人的首要選擇可能是其他的事情，而不是接受大學(xué)教育”。首先找到“surveys and statistics”所在的句子：“All those Surveys and statistics might have been connec,ted witll the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences．”該句說“所有這些調(diào)查和統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)’可能一直與我們對自己大學(xué)時代的美好網(wǎng)憶有關(guān)系”，從該句可以推斷出這些“調(diào)查和統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)”是對上大學(xué)持一種積極的態(tài)度。該甸中的篇章詞語“those statistics”回指文章第一段中提到的“統(tǒng)計證據(jù)”，文章開頭部分提到的統(tǒng)計證據(jù)認(rèn)為“高中畢業(yè)生都應(yīng)該上大學(xué)，上大學(xué)可以幫助人們賺更多的錢”，結(jié)合這兩部分彼此呼應(yīng)的語句可知文章后一段中所提到的“調(diào)查和統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)”也應(yīng)該反映“高中畢業(yè)生都應(yīng)該上大學(xué)”這種觀念，這種觀念意味著“大學(xué)對于所有人來說都應(yīng)該是他們的首選”，由此可見信息判斷句沒有提供正確信息。
7．B．信息判斷句說“很少有證據(jù)可用來反駁，受到的教育越多就越有益這個觀點(diǎn)?！蔽恼潞笠欢沃械暮髢蓚€句子說“這對那種從小到大一直以為受過學(xué)校教育當(dāng)然好，受的教育越多越好的人來說簡直是異教邪說，但是，與此相反的證據(jù)卻逐漸開始增加了?！庇纱丝梢娦畔⑴袛嗑涮峁┑男畔⑴c文章中的相關(guān)內(nèi)容不一致。
