问题     The US Department of Labor statistics (统计结果)indicates that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there is an overabundance (过多) of teachers, engineers, physicists and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren’t there. The result is that the graduates cannot enter the professions for which they are trained and must take temporary jobs, which do not require a college degree. These "temporary" jobs have a habit of becoming permanent.
    On the other hand, there is a tremendous need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters (木工), electricians, mechanics, and TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can handle and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old distinction that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true.
    The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that a college degree is a passport to bright future. Parents begin telling their children this myth before they are out of school. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn’t matter. Everybody should go to college.
    One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent 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. [br] It can be concluded that______.
选项 A、every young man and woman should go to college if possible
B、college education has become worse and worse in recent years
C、people with a college education should receive a higher pay
D、fewer students should go to college but more be trained for skilled workers
答案 D
解析 文章第一段谈到大学毕业生因供大于求而找不到工作，第二段谈到市场上紧缺技术工人，第三、四段谈到很多人出于对大学文凭的迷信去上大学却完不成学业，因此可以得出，文章暗示更多的人应该接受职业技术教育而不是大学教育。因此选D
