who.

A、willnotbeashametothesociety

B、willbecomeskilledworkers

C^cantakecareofthemselves

D、canmeetthedemandsasasourceofmanpower

標準答案：D

知識點解析:根據文章第二句"Whattheyreallymeanistogetjustenougheducationto

providemanpowerforyoursociety,butnottoomuchthatyouproveanembarrassment

toyoursociety”可以看出，社會對于教育的期望在于能夠為社會提供人力即可，而

人無需太多的教育，過多受教育會對社會產生尷尬的局面。所以可以判斷選項D

正確。選項B和C都非本文所討論的方面，而選項A則是理解反了。故選D).

47、IfyouareasgiftedasBernardShaworEdison,.

A、youcangetahighschooldiplomawithoutdifficulty

B、youwillbesuccessfulinagradeschool

C、youcanbeprofessionallysuccessfulwithoutadiploma

D、theleastyoushoulddoistogetadiploma

標準答案：c

知識點.析：根據第一段的后兩句可以看出，作者指出，除非一個人有像蕭伯納或

愛迪生那樣的天賦，高中文憑是就業所必需的。反之，如果一個人真正有如這兩個

偉人的天賦，則可以不受教育而在事業上成功。所以選項C正確。可以首先排除

的選項D,因為其意義和原文相反，從文章可以推斷，這兩個偉人的天賦不在于輕

松獲得文憑方面，故排除A,同樣可以推斷這兩個偉人沒有上過gradeschool,故

排除選項B。

48、Ph.D.saremostlikelyto.

A、havedifficultiesgettingproperlyemployed

B、beemployedinthefieldsofcommerceorindustry

C、havetofilloutapplicationformsmontha什ermonthforothers

D、workinschoolsorcollegeswithlowpay

標準答案：A

知識點解析：文章第四段指出，擁有博士學位者除了物理和化學專業外，其他人就

業前景暗淡。后面的幾段也指出，有些博士找不到合適的工作，有的在賣鞋，有的

開出租車，等等。據此，可以判斷選項A正確。選項B所指的只是物理和化學專

業方向的博士，選項C和D也只是指部分人，而非泛指，故排除。

49、WhichofthefollowingisNOTtrue?

A、BernardShawdidn'tfinishhighschool,nordidEdison.

B、TherearefarmorePh.D.sthanthesocietydemands.

C、Thehigheryoureducationlevel,themoremoneyyou'llearn.

D、Ifyouaretoowell-educated,you'llmakethingsdifficultfbrthesociety.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：該題是判斷題，但其信息面覆蓋全文，根據第二段的末句”Beyond

this,thefamouslawofdiminishingreturnsbeginstotakeeffect.“可以判斷選項C信

息錯誤，所以是正確答案。其他三個選項都是正確信息，尤其是選項B和D,正

是作者所要闡述的，故排除。

50、Thewriteriscriticalof.

A、theeducationalsystem

B>thePh.D.s

C、thesociety

D、theemployers

標準答案：c

知識點3析：該題是推理判斷題，要求推斷作者對什么或什么人持批評態度。從全

文尤其是第五段“Notforourneeds,mindyou,butforourdemands”和最后?段

“makeyouusefultothegrossnationalproduct”可以看出，社會不是不需要，而是不

要求“過度教育，高學歷“，只關注GNP,這里隱含了作者對社會短視的批評態

度，所以選項C正確。
