59. Top collegegraduates are having more difficulty demonstrating their superiority toprospective employers than did the top students of twenty years ago when anhonors degree was distinction enough. Today’s employers are less impressed withthe honors degree. Twenty years ago no more than 10 percent of a given classgraduated with honors. Today, however, because of grade inflation, the honorsdegree goes to more than 50 percent of a graduating class. Therefore, torestore confidence in the degrees they award, colleges must take steps tocontrol grade inflation. Which one of thefollowing is an assumption that, if true, would support the conclusion in thepassage? A. Today’s students are not higherachievers than the students of twenty years ago. B. Awarding too many honors degreescauses colleges to inflate grades. C. Today’s employers rely onhonors ranking in making their hiring decisions. D. It is not easy for studentswith low grades to obtain jobs. E. Colleges must make employersaware of the criteria used to determine who receives an honor degree. 其实详解上面说的很明白,A正确 但是我认为B也正确,而且比A好。 A证明了拿到荣誉学位的人是更牛逼的,所以荣誉学位多了就不inflate 但是B中说了授予更多的荣誉学位才会导致inflate 取非B,则为:授予更多的荣誉学位不会导致inflate,那么就是说我多授予也不会inflate,则原文错误。 因此我觉得B才应该是答案。求大神指导。。。。好纠结啊。。。
Today, however, because of grade inflation, the honors degree goes to more than 50 percent of a graduating class. Therefore, grade inflation should be controlled.
(B) Awarding too many honors degrees causes colleges to inflate grades.
---------------------------------------------- Do you still consider that (B) supports the argument now?
