9.The U.S.Department of Labor statistics (統(tǒng)計(jì)) show that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing.Already there have been more than enough teachers,engineers,physicists,aerospace experts,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 graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree.
  On the other hand,there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts:carpenters,electricians,mechanics,plumbers,TV repairmen.
  These people have more work than they can deal with,and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates.The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true.The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.
  The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future.A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree.Parents begin indoctrinating (灌輸) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school.High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life.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,so of course they must go.And every year college enrollments (入學(xué)) go up and up,and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them.
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.
1.It's implied but not stated in the passage thatB.
A.many other countries are facing the same problem
B.white-collar workers in the US used to make more money than blue-collar workers
C.fewer students will prefer to go to college in the future
D.the law of supply and demand has a strong effect on American higher education
2.Which of the following is NOT a reason why college enrollments go up every year?
D
A.Many people believe that the only way to success is a college education.
B.Many parents want their children to go to college.
C.High school teachers urge their students to go to college.
D.Every young man and woman wants to go to college.
3.By saying that"many people go to college who do not belong there",the author means thatA.
A.many people who are not fit for college education go to college
B.many people who do not have enough money go to college
C.many people who go to college drop out within the first year
D.many people who go to college have their hopes destroyed
4.We can infer from the passage that the author believes thatD.
A.every young man and woman should go to college
B.college education is a bad thing
C.people with a college education should receive higher pay
D.fewer people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobs.

10.Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways(61)to improve/of improving (improve) our English writing ability.
Compared with other forms of writing,it is shorter and takes(62)less(little) time.It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English.If we persist (堅(jiān)持) in this practice,gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English.In keeping a diary in English,we certainly run up against many(63)difficulties (difficult).Firstly,it often happens that we have trouble(64)(in)finding (find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind.Secondly,there(65)are (be) many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese.And it is(66)extremely(extreme) hard for us to put them into English properly.
