Now that we have doubled the number of young people arttending college, a diploma cannot even guarantee a job. The most charirable conclusion we can reach is that college probably has very little, if any, effect on people and things at all. Today, the false premises are easv to see:
First,college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy or liberal. It's the other way around. Intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal people are arttracted to higher education in the first place.
Second,college can't claim much credit for the learning experiences that really change students while theyare there. Jobs, history, and most of all. the sheer passage of time, have as big an impact as anything even indirectly related to the campus.
Third, colleges have changed so radically that a freshman entering in the fall or 1974 can't be sure to gain even the limited value research studies assigned to colleges in the 60s. The sheer size of undergraduate campuses of the 1970s makes college even less stimulating now than it was 10 years ago. Today even motivated students are disappointed with their college courses and professors.
Finally,a college diploma no longer opens as many vocational doors.Employers are beginning to realize thatwhen they pay cxtra for someone with a diploma, they are paying only for an empty credential. The fact is that most of the work for which employers now expect college training is now or has been capably done in the past by people without higher education.
College, then, may be a good place for those few young people who are really drawn to academic work. who would rather read than eat, but it has become too expensive, in money, time, and intellectual effort to serve as a holding pen for large numbers of our young. We ought to make it possible for those reluctant, unhappy students to find alternative ways of growing up, and more realistic preparation for the years ahead.
1.What does the author think of college nowadays'?
2.Jobs or anything indirectly related to college can also_______________________.so college can't deserve much credit for what students achieve.
3.Compared with the colleges in the 1970s, those in the l960s were___________________.
4.Employers now begin to realize that a college diploma is no more than a(n)______________.
5.For the young people who would prefer to read rather than eat,college may be_________________.
答案：
1.[It has very little effect on people and things./Ineffective.]
[定位]根據(jù)題干中college和nowadays定位到首段。
解析：原文首段描述了大學(xué)的一些現(xiàn)狀，并得出結(jié)論“即便大學(xué)能對人和事有所影響，這影響也是微乎其微的”，that從句中的.內(nèi)容即為答案，也可概括為Ineffective。
2.[have a big impact on students]
[定位]根據(jù)anything indirectly related to和much credit定位到第3段。
解析：原文中先說結(jié)果(學(xué)校不應(yīng)當邀功請賞)后闡述原因，空格中需填人原因部分。題干中的主語Jobs or anything... to college可在原文第3段第2句找到相同的表述，此處只需將原文have as big an impact as改寫為have a big impact on students即可。
3.[more stimulating]
[定位]根據(jù)題干中the l970s定位到第4段。
解析：題干中的1960s是原文中in years ago的同義替換。原文說“70年代本科院校的規(guī)模使大學(xué)比10年前更加令人興奮不起來”，由此可知，60年代的大學(xué)更讓學(xué)生感到興奮。故應(yīng)把原文中的less stimulating改為more stimulating即為答案。
4.[empty credential]
[定位]根據(jù)題干中employers和college diploma定位到倒數(shù)第二段第2句。
解析：原文提到雇主們開始意識到給有文憑的人付更多的工資不過是因為雇員持有一張空洞的學(xué)歷證書，可知在他們看來文憑只是空洞的學(xué)歷證，題干中的no more than對應(yīng)原文中的only for，介詞for后的內(nèi)容為答案。
5.[a good place]
[定位]根據(jù)read rather than eat定位到最后一段首句。
解析：原句結(jié)構(gòu)為College... may be a good place for...題干中的would prefer to對應(yīng)原文中的would rather，空白處需要一個名詞(詞組)作表語，故a good place為答案。
