Yes，each driver was paid $ 28,000 in 2012 while a full professor managed to get $ 27,930.A PhD is the highest degree you can get，but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry，where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial aim，you are facing a not very bright future.There are more PhDs unemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far.If you become a PhD in English or history or political science or languages or in philosophy，you take the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands.Thousands of PhDs are selling shoes，driving taxis, waiting on tables and filling out applications month after month，and then may be taking a job in some high school or college with the pay much less than a doorkeeper makes.【语篇解读】教育程度是否越高越好？高学历的人就会有高收入吗？本文就以上问题展开了论述。5According to the writer，society expects education to turn out people who will _.Araise their paymentBget employedCbecome specialized in some fieldDmeet the demands as a source of manpower【解析】推理判断题。从第一段最后一句话What they really mean is to get just enough education to give manpower for your society.可以看出D项为正确答案。【答案】D6Longdistance truck drivers make more money a year than full professors because _.A. the famous law of diminishing functionsBlongdistance truck drivers only get a high school diplomaCfull professors are PhDs in English or historyDlongdistance truck drivers work harder than full professors【解析】细节理解题。从第二、三、四段可以看出，接受教育、获得文凭对于找工作很重要，但是大学毕业后就要找工作，若要继续深造则要进入一流的学校，否则会面临报酬递减率的问题，比如长途卡车司机的收入高于全职教授的收入。【答案】A7The underlined phrase“put on the brakes” in the 3rd paragraph means_.A. stop learning for a higher degreeBtake up a masters degree at onceCgo on studying in a firstclass universityDfind an interesting job【解析】词义猜测题。此处文意表明接受的教育程度到大学毕业即可，以后就可以开始找工作，如果继续深造可能会面临报酬递减率的问题。【答案】A8What can we know from the passage?A. The higher education you get，the more money you will earn.BNeither George Washington nor Edison received formal education.CThere are more PhDs than the society demands.DIf you are specialized in physics，you cant get a good job easily.【解析】推理判断题。从第五段最后一句话There are more PhDs unemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far.可以判断C项正确。【答案】C.阅读填句 【导学号：72880036】People who are confident really seem to be naturally outstanding and just seem to do everything with more styles than others._1_It is a habit that everyone can develop in life.Try these simple tips to drill and build up your confidence：1Admit your shortcomings calmly.Do not try to escape from them or cover them.Face them bravely._2_Fight against them every day until the day when you could break away and conqure them.2Dress for selfconfidence._3_And therefore pay attention to your dress，display your unique physical advantages and exhibit your best image.In addition，on formal occasions such as a business party or a wedding ceremony，elegant dressing contributes to building your confidence.3_4_You should get rid of your habit that deals with the work passively(被动的)Concentrate your efforts immediately on overcoming it，because it will make your restless mind at ease and build your selfconfidence.4Be positive.Feel pity neither on yourself nor on others.If you are used to hating and blaming yourself，others would tend to do that and believe it.Instead，you should speak positively about yourself，your progress，and your bright future._5_AYour appearance could put you into embarrassment or increase your confidence.BThen talk about them to a reliable mate，a friend or a family member.CActually，true selfconfidence is neither born nor acquired overnight.DBuild your confident vocabulary.EBy doing so，you would encourage your growth in a positive direction.FDont put off what you eventually have to do.GDont judge a person by appearance.1C根据下一句“It is a habit that everyone can develop in life.”可知“真正的自信不是天生的也不是一夜之间就能学到的。”故选C。2B根据上一句“Face them bravely.”可知选B项。3A根据下一句“And therefore pay attention to your dress，display your unique physical advantages and exhibit your best image.”可知此处讲的是外表着装对自信心的影响。故选A。4F本段作者建议打破被动处理事情的惯例，要集中精力处理自己不愿做但不得不做的事情，故只有F能概括本段大意。5E根据上一句“Instead，you should speak positively about yourself，your progress，and your bright future.”可知E项是上面做法的结果。
