A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.“Weve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course theres a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you dont graduate, that is a very bad situation.”One ment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. Aprils national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadnt attended college was 7.4%, pared with 3.9% for those with a bachelors degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 1624. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists warns that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.Ms. Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the value of a college education is the field of ones major: Students in engineering or other sciences end up earning more than ones who major in the arts or education. The cost of tuition (学费) and the availability of financial aid are other considerations, with public institutions generally a better financial bargain than private ones.She suggested two ways to improve the situation: increasing vocational (职业的)-technical training programs and taking a page from Europes focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning. “The European countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary grades,” she said. “Then they have a higher bar for whoever goes to collegebut once you get into college, youre more likely to be highly subsidized (资助).”She also is a supporter of technical trainingto teach students how to be plumbers, welders and puter programmersbecause “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.24People usually think that .A. the cost of technical schooling is a problemB. technical skills are most important for finding a jobC. one will not succeed without a college degreeD. there is an increased petition in getting into a college25What does the underlined part “taking a page from” (in Para.5) possibly mean?A. Learning from. B. Changing from. C. Differing from.D. Hearing from.26What can we infer from the passage?A. Public institutions charge more for education. B. European universities are stricter with students.C. Canadian students prefer to major in engineering. D. Students with certain skills are in great demand.27Ms. Sawhill may probably agree that .A. technical training is more important than college educationB. too much stress has been put on the value of college degreesC. a college degree will ensure promising employmentD. its easier for art students to find favorite jobs【答案】24C25A26D27B【解析】试题分析：这篇文章主要讲了是不是“上大学”的消息过头了，围绕这一话题Sawhill女士提出了两种途径改善现状：越来越多的职业（职业的），技术培训计划。24细节题：根据Weve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course theres a lot of truth to that,. 可知人们常常认为没有大学文凭就不会成功。故选C。25推测题：根据She suggested two ways to improve the situation: increasing vocational (职业的)-technical training programs and taking a page from Europes focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning.可知作者意思是建议向欧洲的关注早期教育学习，故选A。26细节题：根据She also is a supporter of technical trainingto teach students how to be plumbers, welders and puter programmersbecause “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills 可知雇主渴望招聘到有职业技能的员工，当然有职业技能的学生炙手可热，故选D。27推断题：Even in a weak job market, the old college try isnt the answer for everyone. A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.通过此段，可推测出Sawhill女士同样认为人们对大学学位给予太多压力，故选B。考点：考查议论类阅读Denmark is one of the happiest nations on earth with some of the best quality of life.

Both men have hearing damage from exposure to loud music, and both now wear hearing aids as a consequence. As a teenager, Clinton played saxophone in a band. Townshend, who has the more severe hearing loss, was a guitarist for a band called the Who. He is one of the first rock musicians to call the publics attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music.Temporary hearing loss can happen after only 15 minutes of listening to loud music. One early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones. One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert.What happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, but theyre not dead, says a physician and ear specialist Dr. Sam Levine. According to Dr. Levine, if you avoid further exposure to loud noise, its possible to recondition the cells somewhat. However, he adds, Eventually, over a long period of time, hair cells are permanently damaged. And this is no small problem.What sound level is dangerous? According to Dr. Levine, regular exposure to noise above 85 decibels (分贝) is considered dangerous. The chart below offers a parison of decibel levels to certain sounds. Heres another measurement you can use. If youre at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard, you re at risk for hearing loss. Thats when wearing protective devices such as earplugs bees critical.The facts are pretty frightening. But are rock bands turning down the volume? Most arent. Rock music is supposed to be loud, says drummer Andrew Sather. I wouldnt have it any other way. And neither would the real fans of rock. Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness, according to Dr. Levine. He states, Theres no cure for hearing loss. Your ears are trying to tell you something. That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying. Each time that happens, more and more damage is done.
