Question

7．If you know exactly what you want，the best way to get a job is to get specialized training．A recent report shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training．
    That's especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers．At Cornell's School of Hotel Administration，for example，bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement．Large companies especially like a background of formal education coupled with work experience．But in the long run，too much specialization does not pay off．Business，which has been flooded with MBAs，no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval．The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially，but the impact of a degree washes out after five years．
As further evidence of the erosion of corporate faith in specialized degrees，Michigan State's Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices．Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires，they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management．This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts（文科） graduate．Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have：writing and communication skills，organizational skills，open-mindedness and adaptability，and the ability to analyze and solve problems．David Birch，manager of the Boston Red Sox，says that he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree．"I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things，"says Birch．
For a liberal-arts degree，students focus on some basic courses that include literature history，mathematics，economics，science，human behavior and a computer course or two．With these useful and important courses，you can feel free to specialize，"A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace，"says Scheetz．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇科教类阅读，文章主要讲述了现在市场上需要的人才是那些接受过正规教育悠悠工作经验的人，很多公司需要有战略眼光的人．此外，作者认为管理职位应该给那些受过各方面教育的通才．

解答 67-70．CABD
67．C理解判断题．根据全篇内容来看，市场上需求的人才是那些接受过正规教育又有工作经验的人．根据第二段Large companies，especially，like a background of formal education coupled with work experience．也明确指出这类人尤其受大公司欢迎．schooling指学校教育．故选C
68．A语义辨析题．上文说"The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially…"工商管理硕士可以找到工作并且开始时要求较高的薪水，但是"学位的影响力在5年后会消失"．后面紧接着说"As further evidence of the erosion（销蚀）of corporate（公司的）faith in specialized degrees，Michigan State's Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices．Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires，they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management．"我们主要看后面一句话："虽然公司在招募新人时更多地要专才，但对于中层和高层经理岗位，他们更多地要通才．所以工商管理硕士学位能够帮助人们进入公司，但过几年后无法帮助人们进入管理层，与B选项"工商管理硕士学位不能帮助持有者进入管理层"意思一致．故选A．
69．B理解判断题．根据Birch的话可以看出，他认为文科毕业生做事比较灵活．canned指"千篇一律的，刻板的"；less-than-canned指"不那么刻板的，灵活机动的"．故选B．
70．D理解判断题．这道题需要考生排除掉作者不同意的观点，而选出作者支持的观点．通篇来看，作者借别人之口阐述了他的看法：即管理职位应该给那些受过各方面教育的通才．故选D．
