解析：本文是一篇看圖作文，從圖畫的內容可以看出話題是考證熱。文章

可分為三段：第一段簡單描述圖畫，并簡述大學生考證熱這一現(xiàn)象存在的事實。

第二段首句是該段的主題句，該段詳連考證熱的原因。第三段闡述考證熱的影響，

并用inmyopinion引出作者對考證熱的看法，指出對待考證熱的正確態(tài)度。

考證熱

很明顯，上面這幅漫畫描繪了一個畢業(yè)生站在一個應聘臺前，驕傲地告訴

來招聘的女士他擁有很多證書。如今，面對日益增加的壓力，許多大學生們?yōu)榱?/p>

在人才市場上占得競爭優(yōu)勢紛紛參加了各種培訓課程和證件考試。

這種考證熱潮是由一系列原因所導致的。該現(xiàn)象的關鍵在于，大學畢業(yè)生

人數(shù)不斷增加，而工作職位并沒有相應地增加。因此，老板們擁有大量的選擇，

而他們更愿意雇傭那些相關經(jīng)驗更豐富、技術更好的員工。既然考試和證書在一

定程度上能反映出一個人對某項技術的掌握，那么許多學生都會愿意嘗試一下。

這無疑是一件激勵自己學習新事物的好事。然而，“考證熱”正走向極端。

這不僅僅誤導了學生，而且也讓他們背上了沉重的包袱。我認為，一紙證書并不

一定反映出一個人真正的水平，因此，我們應用懷疑的眼光來審視這種熱潮，避

免徒勞無功。

J.employee

K.liedown

L.pulled

M.reports

N.interview

O.suspect（分數(shù)：35.50）

1.（分數(shù):3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：C）

解析：此處需要一個形容詞。從第一段字面可知Welch是市長，但從第二

段的語義對比中不難看出作者要強調他也是一名真正的警官，所以certified符合

語義要求，說明他是具有證書或執(zhí)照的警官。

2.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：L）

解析：此處需要一個動詞。本句中的parkinglot停車場，使我們聯(lián)想到“啟

動”或“停止”這一類的動詞，在所給出的詞中，pull和up搭配正是“停下”

的意思。

3.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：M）

解析：此處需要一個名詞。句子的意思是“當時收聽到了有人向人群開槍

的廣播:廣播一般是新聞報道或節(jié)目，reports符合文意。

4.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：E）

解析：此處需要一個形容詞。根據(jù)文意在現(xiàn)場沒有人知道子彈是從哪個方

向射過來的，由此可以推斷出當時場面一定很混亂，chaotic意思是“混亂的”,

符合文意。

5.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：N）

解析：此處需要一個名詞。本句話的意思是稍后Welch在家中通過電話

，聯(lián)系上下文，Welch是在介紹當時的情況，他可能是在接受電話采訪,

在詞庫中只有interview有此意。

6.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：A）

解析：此處需要一個名詞。做這道題我們首先要理解空格前面的單詞graze

的意思，graze在這里指擦傷，此句表達的是被槍擊中的學生胳膊受傷了，而且

從下一句學生被送到醫(yī)院也可知學生受傷，所以wound最合適。

7.（分數(shù):3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：F）

解析：begindoingsth.表示開始做某事。此處需要一個非謂語動詞。根據(jù)

句意，他們開始在這一地區(qū)逃離現(xiàn)場的一輛白色吉普車。所以只有scour

“搜尋”符合文意。

8.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：I）

解析：此處需要一個名詞。當看到嫌犯的車迎面開來時，警察迫使他停下，

也就是警察控制了這輛車，因此vehicle一詞最合適。

9.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：D）

解析：此處需要一個非謂語動詞。這里說的是警方抓捕嫌犯的過程，應該

是“警方繳了嫌犯的武器，命令他們從車里出來"，ordering符合文意。

10.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：H）

解析：此處需要一個名詞。這句話的意思是“警方在嫌犯的車上發(fā)現(xiàn)了一

把左輪手槍,旁邊還有一瓶"。在詞庫中可與之搭配的詞是liquor（烈性酒）。
