题文

阅读理解。 Tell the truth or just lie? You're busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; let's assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn't it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma reprents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to final trick like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars at most well known colleges say they deal with deceitful like the at the rate of about one per week. Personnel officers do check up degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accu the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them"impostors (骗子)"; Another refers to them as"special cas" one well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phra of all, says that the claims are made by"no such people."  To avoid total lies, some job-ekers claim that they "attended" or "were associated with" a college or university. After carefully checking, a personal officer may discover that"attending" means being dismisd after one mester. It may be that"being associated with" a college means that the job eker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of fal claim says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century-that's when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will ll you a phony (假的) diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from" Smoot State University." The prices increa rapidly for a degree from the"University of Purdue." As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices em rather high for one sheet of paper. 1.The main idea of this passage is that______. A. employers are checking more cloly on applicants now B. lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem C. college degrees can now be purchad easily D. employers are no longer interested in college degrees 2. According to the passage,"special cas" refers to cas where______.A. students attend a school only part-time B. students never attended a school they listed on their application C. students buy fal degrees from commercial firms D. students attended a famous school 3.

A. performance is a better judge of ability than a college degree B. experience is the best teacher C. past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do D. a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job competition 4.

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
