问题     We often hear employers and business leaders lament the
unfortunate gap between what students learn in college and what they are
actually expected to know in order to be job-ready. This is particularly
alarming on light of the large—and still growing—number of people【S1】_________________
graduate from university: above 40% of 25- to 34-year-olds in OECD【S2】_________________
countries, and nearly 50% of 25- to 34-year-olds in America.
    Because  there  is  a  clear  premium  on  education—recent【S3】_________________
report from The Economist suggest that the ROI of a college degree has【S4】_________________
never been higher for young people—the value added from a college
degree decreases as the number of graduates increase.  This is why a【S5】_________________
college degree will boost earnings in over 20%  in sub-saharan Africa【S6】_________________
(where degrees are relatively rare),  and only 9%  in Scandinavia【S7】_________________
(where 40% of adults have degrees). At the same time, as university
qualifications become more commonplace, recruiters and employers will
increasingly demand them,  regardless of whether they are actually
acquired for a specific job.  So, while tertiary degrees may still lead to【S8】_________________
higher-paying jobs,  the same employers handing out these jobs are
hurting itself—and young people—by limiting their candidate pool to【S9】_________________
college graduates. In an age of ubiquitous disruption and unpredictable
job evolution, it is hard to argue that the knowledge acquisition
historical associated with a university degree is still relevant.【S10】________________ [br] 【S7】

选项

答案 and—but

解析 连词误用。根据逗号前后并列的两个部分的句意“在撒哈拉以南的非洲(当地大学毕业生相对来说比较罕见),大学文凭使收入增长20%以上”和“在斯堪的纳维亚(当地40%的成年人大学毕业),大学文凭使收入仅增长9%”可知,前后两部分是转折关系,对比说明上述“大学文凭的附加值随着毕业生人数的增加而下降”这一观点,故应将连词and改为but。
