Answer 1

1----5     CBCBA

解析:

1.这是一道细节题。从第一段中拥有“Associate Degree”的人同只拥有“High School Diploma”的人年收入的差距看出，学历在人的工作中的重要性，第二段就提出可以提供一个在家学习，获得“Specialized Associate Degree”的机会。因此，很多高中生为了生计，会依广告中宣传的去做。答案为C。 

2.这是一道细节题。考生可以在第二段最后一句话中找到Accounting, Bookkeeping和Photography。因而排除了Physiology。答案为B。 

3.这是一道细节题。从第二段第二句话可知，人们利用业余时间的学习来取得Specialized Association Degree的。答案为C。 

4.这是一道细节题。从Your education is nationally recognized!这一段第一句话可知，四个选项中只有选项B中的Harvard ?University?没有雇用该校的毕业生。故答案为B。 

5.这是一道细节题。从广告最后提供的电话号码和email网址可知，可以通过e-mail得到Direct。
