1、【英语】英语阅读理解(教育文化)练习题含答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1阅读理解 The US Department of Labour statistics (统计) show that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other special
2、ists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that arent there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree. On the other h
3、and, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, and TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white-collar workers make a b
4、etter living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favours the skilled workmen. The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally w
5、ith a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating(灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall into line. Wheth
6、er they want to go to college or not doesnt matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments (入学) go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them. One result of this emphasis on a college educatio
7、n is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty per cent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up. （1）Its implied but not

10、s to go to college.（3）By saying many people go to college who do not belong there, the author means that . A.many people who are not fit for college education go to collegeB.many people who do not have enough money go to collegeC.many people who go to college drop out within the first yearD.many peo
11、ple who go to college have their hopes destroyed（4）We can infer from the passage that the author believes that .

12、 should be trained for skilled jobs【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，通过调查告诉人们要改变传统的观念:应首先考虑选择技术性的工作因为它缺乏人才,待遇更高。 （1）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favours the skilled workm
13、en.” 可推知白领工人以前比蓝领工人赚的钱多,故选B。 （2）考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“Parents begin indoctrinating (灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Whether they want to g
14、o to college or not doesnt matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go.”可知A,B,C三项正确,而D项不是大学入学人数增加的原因,故选D。 （3）考查句义猜测。根据最后一段中的“Of the sixty per cent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first y
15、ear. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.”可知作者列举了三种情况,说明有些人不适合大学教育,故选A。 （4）考查推理判断。纵观全文可知,作者通过调查告诉人们大学教育的人才过多,而技术工人又非常缺乏,因而待遇反而更高;接着又分析了造成这种状况的原因;最后还谈到了很多学生上了大学却因种种原因无法完成学业。所有这些都在暗示人们,上大学的人应该减少,而参加技术工作的人应该增多，故选D。 【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和句义猜测两个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，考生需要根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。2阅读理解 Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform.
