解析：這是一篇名言分析型的作文，要求考生對(duì)亞伯拉罕?林肯的名言“我

不喜歡那個(gè)人，我要多了解一下他”進(jìn)行分析，論述如何了解他人。根據(jù)題目要

求，可謀篇布局如下：

第一段：引述名言，并解釋其涵義：多了解他人，不要武斷地判斷他人。

第二段：論證名言的說(shuō)法，并以亞伯拉罕?林肯和他的對(duì)手斯坦頓為例子

進(jìn)行說(shuō)明。

第三段：總結(jié)全文。

［參考譯文］

“我不喜歡那個(gè)人，我要多了解一下他。”亞伯拉罕?林肯的這句話很有

意思。它建議我們?cè)谧鰶Q斷之前，多了解一下別人。

雖然這句話聽(tīng)起來(lái)有點(diǎn)奇怪，我卻覺(jué)得它有道理。如果我們僅僅因?yàn)樵谀?/p>

些方面不喜歡某個(gè)人，比如相貌或穿衣風(fēng)格，就拒絕對(duì)他進(jìn)行更多地了解，我們

可能放棄了與一個(gè)高尚的人交朋友的機(jī)會(huì)且失去了一筆寶貴的資產(chǎn)。亞伯拉

軍?林肯本人就是一個(gè)很好的例子。當(dāng)林肯在競(jìng)選總統(tǒng)時(shí)，他的對(duì)手斯坦頓經(jīng)常

當(dāng)眾羞辱他。但林肯仍然盡力了解這個(gè)對(duì)手的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)。當(dāng)林肯成為總統(tǒng)時(shí)，他邀

請(qǐng)斯坦頓加入他的內(nèi)閣，而斯坦頓證明了自己是一名非常有幫助的官員。如果林

肯拒絕對(duì)斯坦頓進(jìn)行更多了解，他就永遠(yuǎn)不能得到這樣一個(gè)人才來(lái)幫助自己。

綜上所述，在更好地了解他人之前就對(duì)他人做出武斷的判斷，這是非常不

理智的做法。雖然了解他人要花上不少時(shí)間且不總那么容易，但是還是值得去做

的。

A和C分別利用文中原詞day-to-daylife和philosophy進(jìn)行干擾，而且金錢(qián)

①?gòu)倪x項(xiàng)看，此題可能與男女智力比較有關(guān)。②錄音開(kāi)頭提到LarrySummers

與錄音內(nèi)容不符。錄音提到從總體而言，女性在文字推理能力測(cè)試上做得比男性

好，但未提及男性在文學(xué)創(chuàng)作方面比女性差，故D錯(cuò)誤。

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：K）

解析：空格前是完整的一個(gè)句子，因此此處應(yīng)是分詞形式，作句子狀語(yǔ)。

上文提到人們認(rèn)為大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的失業(yè)率低，因此解決就業(yè)及工資增長(zhǎng)問(wèn)題的辦法

是確保更多的人獲得大學(xué)學(xué)位。根據(jù)空格后的賓語(yǔ)attention及介詞搭配from...,

可推斷diverting"轉(zhuǎn)移……的注意力”正確，表示上文的看法“轉(zhuǎn)移了”要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造

新工作崗位和增加收入的嚴(yán)峻問(wèn)題。

［參考譯文］

這似乎合乎邏輯：大學(xué)畢業(yè)生失業(yè)率較低，他們的收入超過(guò)受教育程度低

的人，因此按照這一思路，解決現(xiàn)在就業(yè)和工資增長(zhǎng)乏力的辦法是確保更多的人

獲得大學(xué)學(xué)位。然而這是一個(gè)常見(jiàn)的誤解，它轉(zhuǎn)移了人們的注意力，創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)

會(huì)和提高收入還有許多工作要做。

大學(xué)教育仍然是獲得更穩(wěn)定、更高薪工作的一個(gè)途徑。最近25歲及以上

大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的失業(yè)率是3.2%。相比高中畢業(yè)生和沒(méi)有高中文憑的人，這是一個(gè)

相當(dāng)?shù)偷氖I(yè)率。

但這并不意味著現(xiàn)在或?qū)?lái)有足夠多的好工作等著大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。今年25

歲以下畢業(yè)生的平均失業(yè)率是&2%。應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生也面臨著越來(lái)越少的就業(yè)崗位，

這意味著他們的工作通常沒(méi)有要求學(xué)士學(xué)位。

與此同時(shí)，受過(guò)大學(xué)教育的人的工資在過(guò)去12年都沒(méi)有變化。這比低學(xué)

歷工人工資下降還是好一點(diǎn)。但它也表明，大學(xué)教育本身不會(huì)創(chuàng)造薪酬不錯(cuò)的好

工作。因此，繁榮經(jīng)濟(jì)是基礎(chǔ)，包括持續(xù)促進(jìn)就業(yè)的政策以及企業(yè)和政府的投資。

目前，出現(xiàn)更多薪酬不錯(cuò)的好工作的前景并不樂(lè)觀。根據(jù)勞工統(tǒng)計(jì)局的最

新數(shù)據(jù)，在20個(gè)有望于2012?2022年期間增加最多新就業(yè)崗位的行業(yè)中，只有

一個(gè)行業(yè)一一通用及運(yùn)營(yíng)管理一一要求學(xué)士學(xué)位，其薪水也不錯(cuò)。其他大部分增

長(zhǎng)較多的行業(yè)給的薪水非常低，或只是中等。

2.（分?jǐn)?shù):3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：L）

解析：空格前的不定冠詞a表明此處需填入輔音開(kāi)頭的名詞單數(shù)形式，與

空格后的介詞to搭配，補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明主語(yǔ)Acollegeeducation。本句意為：大學(xué)教育

仍然是獲得更穩(wěn)定、更高薪工作的一個(gè)……。名詞path“途徑”符合此處語(yǔ)義。

3.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：N）

解析：此處需填入名詞，作介詞without的賓語(yǔ)。上文highschool

graduates（高中畢業(yè)生）與此處peoplewithouthighschool...并列，故diplomas”文

憑”符合上下文語(yǔ)義，表示沒(méi)有高中“文憑”的人。

4.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：F）

解析：空格前的are和orwillbe表明此處需填入分詞或形容詞，且能與空

格后的for搭配。上文提到的25歲及以上的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的失業(yè)率遠(yuǎn)比高中畢業(yè)

或以下的人低，本句用But轉(zhuǎn)折，故要表達(dá)的意思是“現(xiàn)在或?qū)?lái)并沒(méi)有足夠多

的好工作給大學(xué)畢業(yè)生”。available"可獲得的，可用的”符合上下文語(yǔ)境。而

eligible"合格的，有資格的”也可與for搭配，但一般是用人作主語(yǔ)，如：Areyou

eligibleforsocialsecuritybenefits?（你有資格享受社會(huì)福利嗎？）

5.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)I：（正確答案：0）

解析：此處可填入名詞、形容詞或分詞，來(lái)修飾賓語(yǔ)underemploymento

上一句談到今年25歲以下畢業(yè)生的失業(yè)率，而本句的meaningthat…后面的內(nèi)容

則表明就業(yè)崗位不需要那么多具備學(xué)士學(xué)位的畢業(yè)生。可知畢業(yè)生正面臨著越來(lái)

越高的失業(yè)率，rising“上升的”符合此處語(yǔ)義。

6.（分?jǐn)?shù):3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：O

解析：空格位于主謂之間，前后各有一個(gè)逗號(hào)，故應(yīng)填入副詞。上一段與

失業(yè)率（joblessrate）有關(guān)，本句提及薪水（Pay）,與上文是并列平行關(guān)系，故填入

meanwhile“同時(shí)”，說(shuō)明過(guò)去12年間，受過(guò)大學(xué)教育的人的薪水同時(shí)沒(méi)有改變。

另一個(gè)副詞hence"因此；從此”表因果。

7.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：A）

解析：空格前的than是介詞，故因填入名詞或動(dòng)名詞。句子主語(yǔ)That指

的是上一句所說(shuō)的受過(guò)大學(xué)教育的人的工資在過(guò)去12年都沒(méi)有變化的情況，根

據(jù)betterthan可知declining"下降”正確。

8.（分?jǐn)?shù):3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：H）

解析：此處應(yīng)填入修飾economy的詞，由a可知是輔音開(kāi)頭，可能是形容

詞、分詞或名詞。上一句提到大學(xué)教育本身不創(chuàng)造薪水高的好工作，根據(jù)下文破

折號(hào)后面的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明，可知持續(xù)促進(jìn)就業(yè)的政策以及企業(yè)和政府的投資會(huì)給經(jīng)濟(jì)

帶來(lái)好的結(jié)果，故填入的詞應(yīng)表積極意義，thriving“興旺的”符合要求。

9.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：D）

解析：此處應(yīng)填入名詞，作句子主語(yǔ)。本句是該段首句，句子意為：更多

薪酬不錯(cuò)的好工作的……并不好。接著下文具體說(shuō)明了在20個(gè)有望增加最多新

工作的行業(yè)中，只有一個(gè)行業(yè)要求學(xué)士學(xué)位，薪酬也不錯(cuò)。outlook“前景”與

expectedt。相呼應(yīng)，句子表示好工作的“前景”并不好，符合語(yǔ)義邏輯。

10.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：I）

解析：此處應(yīng)填入與low并列的形容詞或分詞，修飾pay（薪水）。moderate

“中等的”符合要求，說(shuō)明工作增長(zhǎng)較多的大部分行業(yè)所給的薪水很低或是“中

等的“。
