Ⅴ.阅读理解
阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

Are undergraduate grades important? Everyone knows that high marks earned at different schools or under different instructors can indicate very different levels of achievement. One professor may be a hard grader, while another is very generous or one who takes the whole business as a bit of joke. Some schools have high standards, while others don't. And at all universities there is a constant tendency towards grade inflation (giving ever more high marks) that is fought fiercely at some universities but allowed to go unchecked for a long period at others.
Another point raised against grades is how poorly they predict how much graduates will be earning 15 or 20 years after getting their degrees. As many studies have shown, there is only a
very poor correlation between undergraduate grades and future wealth. People who get good marks tend to go into professions, only some of which are highly paid. The correlation between undergraduate grades and success in business, the most common road to wealth, is in fact zero. Many ordinary students become successful businessmen, while some brilliant and capable graduates (creative youngsters, not students with special skills in passing exams) take up relatively low paying but interesting or satisfying careers. The general population, examining this question through a statistical point, sees one thing very clearly that good grades don't translate in any direct way into big money, and for better or for worse, the standard of “success”for countless Americans is the acquisition of wealth.
The result is a certain modesty about good grades in America among those who get them. A student's parents may brag (炫耀) about this marks, but seldom will the student himself risk being called a “grade-grubber” by drawing too much attention to his academic success. High marks are not something to be advertised to the world except on resumes (简历) and anybody who cro w s (夸耀) about them is likely to be viewed with contempt (轻蔑)．
1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Different grades show the same levels of achievement.
B．Professors are giving increasing high marks at present.
C．Professors give grades without checking student's work.
D．Professors who are kind-hearted often give high grades.
答案：B
解析：细节判断题。

短文第一段最后一句话指出学校给学生的分数有越来越高的趋势，这种情况在一些大学里会得到比较激烈的抨击，而在另外一些大学里很长时间以来一直听之任之。

据此可得出正确答案为B。

2．What is the relationship between grades and business performance according to the passage?
A．Terrible grades often mean business success.
B．Good grades generally lead to business success.
C．Good grades have almost no help for the business success.
D．There is a direct link between grades and business performance.
答案：C
解析：根据文章第二段第二、三句话可知C项正确。

3．Which of the following best describes the American attitude towards good grades?
A．The students with good grades feel very proud.
B．Good grades are something to be bragged about.
C．Not much importance is attached to good grades.
D．Students will risk everything to get good grades.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。
