文章大意:招聘时,用人单位是看重大学的名气还是更注重专业技能呢?阅读本篇,感受一个农业大学毕业生的困惑吧!
1.A.lowly C.little
B.highly D.greatly
答案:B 固定搭配题。联系全文我们可以知道,人们对农业大学,尤其是非名牌农业大学并不看重,空前的few决定了其他答案不能入选。think highly of看重……。
2.A.well-known C. important
B.beautiful D.skillful
答案:A 逻辑推理题,从第三段中的“Sorry,if you had graduated from Peking University,we would take you on.”我们得知,招聘者看重的是大学的名气,而不是技能的重要性。从全文来看可排除其他选项。
3.A.greater C.fewer
B.less D.more
答案:D 逻辑推理题。本空承接上句而来,“很少有人看得起农业大学,尤其是非名牌农业大学”,因此我们大学的毕业生找工作更加困难。A、C不能修饰形容词比较级。B项与语意相反。
4.A.accept C.change
B.find D.follow
答案:B 固定搭配题。find a job意思是“找工作”。通读全文,我们可以知道,作者谈论的是大学生找工作难的问题,而不是接受工作或改变工作,因此A、C不合句意。
5.A.study C.change
B.understand D.follow
答案:A 固定搭配题。作者在此将农业大学与有着令人尊敬的专业的著名大学相比。从空后的respected subjects可得此答案提示。
6.A.need C.expect
B.wish D.hope
答案:C 词义辨析题。“预计我们大学的大多数毕业生都会被冷漠对待”,从下文一名大学毕业生的求职经历,作者作出如此预测,其他选项不合句意。
7.A.teacher C.parent
B.graduate D.professor
答案:B 词汇复现题。从后文“Which university did you graduate from?When the graduate...”我们得知,去求职的是一名毕业生。本文讨论的是非名牌、非热门专业大学生就业难的问题,因此A、C、D不合句意。
8.A.held C.had
B.built D.offered
