4、 on degrees listed on application forms. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them “imposters”； another refers to them as “special cases”. One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate p
5、hrase of all, says that these claims are made by “no such people”.To avoid outright lies, some job-seekers claim that they “were associated with” a college or university. After carefully checking, as personnel officer may discover that “attending” means being dismissed after one semester. It may be
6、that “being associated with” a college means that the job seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century - thats when they began keeping records, anyhow.If you dont want to
7、 lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony 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 University
8、”. The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the “University of Purdue”. As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.1.The main idea of this passage is that （ ）.2.According to the passage, “special case

13、文章主要讲述了越来越多的人在求职时对他们的学历撒谎，以及形成这种现象的原因。选项B“在学历方面撒谎已经成了普遍的问题”符合题意。第2题:推理判断题。题目问的是“根据文章可知，第三段提到的特殊情况指的是什么？”文章第三段提到人事专员会验证求职者列出来的学历，当被证实求职者在撒谎时，大部分学校不会直接谴责那个撒谎的求职者，比如，有所常春藤学校称其为“骗子”（imposters），另一所学校称其为“特殊情况”(special cases)，说明这些求职者并不是这些学校的学生，因此选项B符合题意。第3题:推理判断题。题目问的是“从文章我们能了解到什么？”文章第二段提到“人事专员跟大多数美国人一样注重名
14、校的学历。求职者虽然受到了良好的教育，但是他们认为如果毕业于名校，被录取的机会更高（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）”，因此选项D“名校的学历能让求职者在竞争中有
15、优势”符合题意。第4题:推理判断题。题目问的是“这篇文章暗示了什么？”文章第二段提到越来越多的人在找工作的时候撒谎，因为像大部分美国人一样，人事专员非常看重名校学历（More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools），即这么多人选择撒谎，是因为社会看重名校学历。因此，选项D“社会应该对求职者撒谎负很大责任”符合题意。第5题:词义题。题目问的是“第二段中的utter一词是什么意思？”文章第二段中“utter”后面的“this”指上文提到的“声称自己的毕业证书代表着哈佛大学的学位”（claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree），由此可知utter是“说”的意思。选项A符合题意。2. 单选题130 years later, this single wall still stands here in mute（ ）to the Re
