阅读理解短文
For many American high school seniors and their families,May 1 is "National College Deci-
sion Day,"when students make a decision about their academic future.35 According to a recent
survey,more than half of Americans don't even think college is worth the cost.This is upset-
ting,as completing college is as important as ever.36 Even in today's competitive labor market,
college graduates find work much easier and tend to command significantly higher incomes.The
unemployment rate for those with a bachelor's degree or greater is currently half that of those
with a high school degree.This college income advantage is due to technological advances like the
personal computer and the Internet,which have caused a huge demand for skilled workers.The
rapid advances today in automation and artificial intelligence will further increase the need for a
highly skilled workforce.37 It is understandable why many students and families suspect that
college is no longer "worth it.College tuition has been rising for years,and many students fear
being burdened with loans after graduation.But in fact,the net price of a four-year college,which
is what students pay after financial aid,has been falling since 2018 and is now lower than it was in
2006.38 In other words,the investment paid off.To make smart decisions about where to go and
what to study,students and parents can make use of resources available today to make informed
choices.39 With these resources,students can gain a reasonable picture of what their future holds
down each potential path.

答案与逐题解析
正确答案:35-39 BAEFG
1.35.B (However,recent years have seen a sharp drop in college registration.)
考点:逻辑衔接+转折关系
语境逻辑:前文提到”5月1日是全国大学决策日',学生需决定学术未来”,后文转而指出”超
过一半美国人认为大学不值”。此处需要转折词引出与”决策日重要性”相反的现象。
选项辨析:B选项以”However”开头,指出”近年来大学注册人数急剧下降”,既承接前文”决
策日”的背景,又通过数据转折引出后文”不值”的观点,逻辑衔接紧密。其他选项无转折逻辑
或未涉及”注册人数”这一现象。
2.36.A (To acquire these advanced skills,college remains the surest path.)
考点:代词指代+目的关系
语境逻辑:前文强调”完成大学学业依然重要”,后文解释”劳动力市场中大学毕业生更容易就
4
业、收入更高”,并提到”技术进步导致对技能工人的巨大需求”。此处需衔接”技能需求”与”大
学教育”的关系。
选项辨析:A选项中”these advanced skills'”指代前文”skilled workers”,且”college remains the
surest path”直接回应”完成大学学业的重要性”,形成”需求技能→大学是获取技能的路径”
的逻辑闭环,符合递进关系。
3.37.E(Huge data shows a college degree actually gives graduates economic advan-
tages.)
考点:段落主旨+例证衔接
语境逻辑:前文承认”学生和家庭怀疑大学不值”的合理性(学费上涨、贷款负担),后文通
过”net price..falling”investment paid off”反驳质疑,强调经济回报。此处需概括”大学学位的
经济优势”作为段落论点。
选项辨析:E选项"economic advantages'”总领后文”net price下降”投资回报”等具体论据,
且”actually”呼应前文”suspect”,形成”承认质疑→用数据反驳”的论证结构,符合段落主旨。
4.38.F (Furthermore,students in debt were more likely to finish their degrees and
earn more later.)
考点:递进关系+细节补充
语境逻辑:前文提到”净学费下降”,后文”in other words,.the investment paid off”总结”投资
有回报”。此处需补充”贷款”相关的正面影响,强化”投资回报”的论点。
选项辨析:F选项以”urthermore'”递进,指出”负债学生更可能完成学位并在后期赚更多钱”,
既▣应前文”fear being burdened with loans'”,又通过”earn more later”具体说明”投资回报”,
补充论据链。
5.39.G (For example,tools like College Scorecard offer graduation rates and future
earnings across schools.)
考点:例证关系+上下文呼应
语境逻辑:前文建议”学生和家长利用现有资源做出明智选择”,后文With these resources”指
代前文提到的具体工具。此处需举例说明”资源”的具体形式。
选项辨析:G选项”For example'”明确提示例证,"College Scorecard”是”resources'”的具体例
子,且”graduation rates and future earnings'”与后文"gain a reasonable picture of future”直接
呼应,符合”总述资源→举例说明→资源作用”的逻辑。
