根据以下材料，回答26-30题

As the latest crop of students pen their undergraduate application form and weigh up their options, it may be worth considering just how the point, purpose and value of a degree has changed and what Generation Z need to consider as they start the third stage of their educational journey.

Millennials were told that if you did well in school, got a decent degree, you would be set up for life. But that promise has been found wanting. As degrees became universal, they became devalued. Education was no longer a secure route of social mobility. Today 28 percent of graduates in the UK are in non-graduate roles, a percentage which is double the average among OECD countries.

This is not to say that there is no point in getting a degree, but rather stress that a degree is not for everyone, that the switch from classroom to lecture hall is not an inevitable one and that other options are available.?

Thankfully, there are signs that this is already happening, with Generation Z seeking to learn from their millennial predecessors, even if parents and teachers tend to be still set in the degree mindset. Employers have long seen the advantages of hiring school leavers who often prove themselves to be more committed and loyal employees than graduates. Many too are seeing the advantages of scrapping a degree requirement for certain roles.

For those for whom a degree is the desired route, consider that this may well be the first of many. In this age of generalists, it pays to have specific knowledge or skills. Postgraduates now earn 40 percent more than graduates. When more and more of us have a degree, it makes sense to have two.

It is unlikely that Generation Z will be done with education at 18 or 21; they will need to be constantly up-skilling throughout their career to stay employable. It has been estimated that this generation, due to the pressures of technology, the wish for personal fulfilment and desire for diversity, will work for 17 different employers over the course of their working life and have five different careers. Education, and not just knowledge gained on campus, will be a core part of Generation Z's career trajectory.

Older generations often talk about their degree in the present and personal tense: I am a geographer 'or' I am a classist. Their sons or daughters would never say such a thing; it's as if they already know that their degree won't define them in the same way.

the author suggests that Generation Z should____

  • A.
  • B. A. be careful in choosing a college?
  • C.
  • D. B. be diligent at each educational stage?
  • E.
  • F. C. reassess the necessity of college education?
  • G.
  • H. D. postpone their undergraduate application

本题解析：

As the latest crop of students pen their undergraduate application form and weigh up their options, it may be worth considering just how the point, purpose and value of a degree has changed and what Generation Z need to consider as they start the third stage of their educational journey.??随着最新一批学生撰写他们的本科申请表并权衡他们的选择，一个学位的意义、目的和价值如何改变，以及Z一代在开始他们第三阶段的学习生涯时需要考虑什么。这都是值得思考的问题。 总结来说就是，generration Z 需要重新评估大学学习的重要性，C正确。

解析

考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章主旨的把握能力，需要结合上下文理解作者对Generation Z的建议。

解题核心思路：通过定位文章首段和关键句，明确作者的核心观点——学位的价值已改变，需重新评估其必要性。需注意选项中与“重新评估”相关的表述。

破题关键点：

  1. 首段点题：首段直接点明“Generation Z需要考虑学位的意义和价值如何变化”。
  2. 对比分析：通过千禧一代与Z一代的对比，强调传统观念失效，需调整教育规划。
  3. 隐含逻辑：文章多次提到“其他选择”和“学位贬值”，暗示大学并非唯一路径。

关键句定位：
首段首句明确指出：“Generation Z在开始第三阶段教育时，需要考虑学位的意义、目的和价值如何变化。”
核心观点：学位的价值已发生根本性变化，需重新评估其必要性。

选项分析：

  • A. be careful in choosing a college（谨慎选择大学）：文章未提及大学选择的具体标准，仅讨论是否有必要上大学。
  • B. be diligent at each educational stage（每个阶段都要勤奋）：文中未强调勤奋的重要性，重点在教育路径的选择。
  • C. reassess the necessity of college education（重新评估大学教育的必要性）：与首段主旨完全一致，符合作者建议。
  • D. postpone their undergraduate application（推迟申请本科）：文章未建议延迟申请，而是强调考虑其他可能性。

结论：选项C最能概括作者对Generation Z的建议。
