　　【點評】

　　本文主要針對大學(xué)教育是否是一項值得投資的話題進行深入探討和分析，文章標(biāo)題Is College a Worthy Investment?已經(jīng)很明顯地暗示了文章的主旨大意內(nèi)容，考生做題時應(yīng)多關(guān)注標(biāo)題，這是很重要的解題線索。

　　本文選自Newsweek《新聞周刊》，該話題是考生比較熟悉的教育問題，大學(xué)教育是否值得投資，文中指出大學(xué)高等教育不是人們獲得成功的唯一途徑，人們應(yīng)該選擇適合自己的道路，即使上了大學(xué)也不一定能找到好工作，同時也指出目前市場和企業(yè)需求的變化，人們應(yīng)該理性選擇，提高覺悟，做出正確的選擇。

　　文章本身話題和語言難度并不高，大多考查事實細(xì)節(jié)，考生應(yīng)掌握一定的同義轉(zhuǎn)換技能。
