The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxi; college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out--often encouraged by college administrators. Some observers say that the fault is with the young people themselves--they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that’s a condemnation of the students as whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have 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 no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-year-olds, either. Some administrators, some educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only lace for every young person after the completion of high school. Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things.What can we infer from the passage() A．Cheat in school is on the rise. B．Some people concerned challenge the traditional view that college is the best place for high school graduates. C．College administrators should be responsible for the increasing number of drop-out. D．College education is not the first choice for intelligent peopl

题目解答
答案
B
解析
考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章主旨的理解和推理能力，需要结合上下文推断隐含信息。
解题核心思路：文章通过列举大学教育的现状（如毕业生就业困难、校园不适应现象增多等），质疑传统观念中“大学是所有高中生最佳选择”的观点，并引出部分学者和观察者提出的“大学并非唯一选择”的新看法。正确选项需体现这一核心转折。
破题关键点：抓住文章最后一段中“some administrators, some educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best...”的表述，明确指向对传统观念的挑战。
选项分析：
- A选项：文中提到学生作弊现象（如写假推荐信），但这是具体现象而非推断结论，无法作为正确选项。
- B选项：文章最后一段明确指出部分学者和观察者质疑大学的唯一性，与文章主旨高度契合。
- C选项：文中提到学校鼓励退学，但未明确说明管理员需负责，属于过度推断。
- D选项：文章未提及“聪明人”，属于无关推断。
关键逻辑链：文章通过现象引出对传统观念的反思，最终指向“挑战传统观点”，因此B选项最能概括文章隐含的结论。
