[2017·银川、吴忠部分中学高三年级联考]
A degree can be a valuable virtue for increasing your income. However, the job market for the highest paying jobs is also extremely competitive. If you are a new member into those job markets, without job experience to match your education, a degree will not help you get a job. Fortunately, the majority of job openings in 2017 do not require a degree. This includes many of the most reliable employment opportunities in the fastest growing fields.
Degrees are not required to work as a personal care assistant or home health assistant, both among the fastest growing occupations in the US today. As the US baby boomer generation grows steadily older, this trend is certain to continue.
For the same reason, many other nondegree health care careers in various health care specialties are also promising in the future. Physical and occupational therapist assistants are in constant demand, as audiologists and dental hygienists(牙科保健员). Medical technology experts, such as diagnostic medical sonographers, can often find work with only minimal, specialized college training. As a result, the need for medical secretaries has never been higher. A skilled and experienced medical secretary can expect to make an average of $ 30,530 annually.
The collapse of the US housing market hit the construction industry very hard. However, the need for skilled trade workers is as high as ever. Glaziers(装玻璃的工人)，brick and stonemasons can all expect to enter secure, highpaying jobs after passing all industry exams. In fact, an apprenticeship in nearly any of the skilled trades is likely to pay off.
Thus, delegating(委托) most of this basic work to bricklaying helpers saves builders money. At the same time, some fully qualified bricklayers can be replaced by 2 or more helpers. As long as this trend continues, the demand for bricklayer assistants will keep growing.
1. From Paragraph 1, we know some of the jobs________.
A. don't require work experience
B. don't need a college degree
C. emphasize diplomas
D. need highly educated talents
2. What is the service target of a personal care assistant or home health assistant?
A. Babies and children.
B. The elder and patients.
C. Household duties.
D. Private security.
3. The author intends to tell you________.
A. why a degree may not help you get a job in 2017
B. the importance of getting a degree in 2017
C. some suggestions about how to find a good job
D. diplomas will be less important in the future
[文章大意] 本文主要论述了2017年大多数职位不需要学历的原因。
1. B。细节理解题。由第一段中的“Fortunately, the majority of job openings in 2017 do not require a degree.”可知，2017年大多数的职位并不需要学位证书。
2. B。推理判断题。由第二段的最后一句“As the US baby boomer generation grows steadily older, this trend is certain to continue.”可知，由于美国的婴儿潮一代正在老去，个人医疗助手和家庭健康助理的需求增长趋势将继续，由此可推知，这类岗位主要是为病人和老年人服务的。
3. A。主旨大意题。由文章内容可知，2017年大多数职位空缺并不需要学历。作者告诉读者学历不能帮你找到工作的原因。

Gift No. 1
Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and

Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place.

Ⅳ. 短文改错
I always think there is not enough time. For example, I have just taken a threeday holiday. But when I look up, I just feel that it's only one day. There went a proverb, “Time is money.” Now I want to say, time is much precious than money, because when money is spent, we can earn some more again. Therefore, when time is gone or lost, never will it return. Time goes without noticed. The time for our study and work is usually limiting. So I think we must make well use of our time. But it's a pity that I am always not aware of the importance of time when it's too late. So I think I should get into a good habit of saving time because wasting time is equal to waste one's life. Do not put it off what can be done today till tomorrow!
