题目解答
答案
【文章大意】:文章主要阐述了一个辩论，什么才是良好的教育。良好的教育是为了获取工作的知识还是提供一个更丰富的背景去提高专业能力。随着时代的发展，科学和技术的进步，各领域越来越需要专业化的人才，只有最有资格的专家是赢家。
1【答案】C
【解析】: 题干询问什么才是一个良好的教育。A选项意为“教育让大学生们迅速就业”，B选项意为“教育为学生提供各个领域丰富知识的教育”，C选项意为“在这篇文章中没有提及”，D选项意为“教育使一个人成为其专业领域专家”。根据上下文，文中只是提及了什么是良好的教育的各种说法，但是并没有明确指出“good education is...”良好的教育是什么样的，所以答案为C选项。
2【答案】C
【解析】: 题干询问下列哪对论点不是关于良好教育的。A选项意为“历史教育和学生就业教育”，B选项意为“广义教育和狭义教育”，C选项意为“应试教育和素质教育”，D选项意为“就业教育和知识教育”。根据文中第一段的第二句“Is it one that covers as much as possible of human history and achievements, past and present? Or one that gives graduates the ability to find employment promptly when they leave school? （它是否涵盖了尽可能多的人类历史和成就，过去和现在?还是让毕业生在毕业后能够迅速找到工作?）”，可知讲述的是历史教育和学生就业教育，故排除A选项。根据第一段第三句“Is it a broad education or a specialized one?（是广泛的教育还是专门的教育?）”，对应B选项的“广义教育和狭义教育”，故排除B选项。根据第一段第六句“Should a future engineer gain only the knowledge that will enable him to do his job properly, or would a richer background improve his professional ability as well as his personal life？（一个未来的工程师应该只获得能让他做好工作的知识，还是一个更丰富的背景能提高他的专业能力和个人生活？）”，对应D选项的“就业教育和知识教育”故答案为C选项。
3【答案】B
【解析】: 题干询问下列关于18~19世纪受过教育的人的说法哪一种是不正确的。A选项意为“他能优美地使用自己的语言”，B选项意为“如果他对文学感兴趣，他必须学习一些科学和技术知识”，C选项意为“他读过许多书”，D选项意为“他应该熟悉每一个领域的一切”。根据文中第二段“He was able to use his own language correctly and often elegantly（他能够正确而优雅地使用自己的语言）”，对应A选项。根据文中第二段“Even if he was mostly interested in literature, he had some knowledge of the sciences and the techniques of his time.（尽管他最感兴趣的是文学，但他对当时的科学和技术有所了解）”，但是B选项意思为不得不学习科学和技术，文中没有明确指出“不得不学习”的意思，故答案为B。根据文中第二段“He had read extensively（他读书很广泛）”，对应C选项。根据文中第二段“An educated man knew “something about everything“(一个受过教育的人“无所不知)”,对应D选项。故答案为B选项。
4【答案】A
【解析】: 题干询问现代人找工作应该做些什么。A选项意为“不管他想尝试什么职业，他都需要长期的特殊训练”，B选项意为“他需要掌握所有与他的职业有关的知识”，C选项意为“他必须广泛阅读”，D选项意为“他应该熟悉每一个领域的一切”。根据文中最后一段“There is much more to know in every field．It is not only the scientist and the physician who need a long special training now. But the administrator, the computer expert, the accountant, and the business manager. （每个领域都有很多需要了解的东西。现在不仅是科学家和医生需要长期的特殊训练。但是还有管理人员，计算机专家，会计和业务经理）”，说明工作中不仅仅需要专业知识，还需要长期的特殊训练，对应A选项，也能排除B选项。而C选项和D选项，都是18-19世纪对于受过教育的人的说法，故答案为A选项。
5【答案】D
【解析】: 题干询问为什么大学生找工作很难。A选项意为“因为大学教育毫无用处”，B选项意为“因为学生们没有掌握足够的技能”，C选项意为“因为他们所受的教育不能让他们从事他们想尝试的职业”，D选项意为“因为大学生的人数在增加”。根据文中最后一段“Besides, the multiplication of college graduates had made the competition for jobs much harder than it used to be（此外，大学毕业生的增多使得就业竞争比以前更加激烈）”，故答案为D选项。
