11."Acollegedegreeopensdoor.""Acollegedegreeopensdoor."解析：由“TheBigTime”部分的最后一段“Acollegedegreeopensdoors．Itmightnotbepossibletoseethedoorswhenyouarejuststartingout，buttheyarethereifyouhavethepatienceanddrivetopursueyourdreams．”可见，作者认为大学文凭打开了大门。刚开始的时候也许看不到这些大门(机会)。只要有耐心有精力去追寻梦想，机会就会出现。因而可以看出，作者说“Acollegedegreeopensdoor．”是指获得大学文凭可以让人们有更多的成功机会。

12.C解析：原文该句中的inexchangeforsomelessons表明该句开头提到的Diddy向T-Pain学习有关技术，而学费就是Diddy唱片的部分收益，由此可见，本题应选C。

13.privatelendersandcreditcards/privatelenders/creditcards。privatelendersandcreditcards/privatelenders/creditcards。解析：根据题干中的信息词federalloans定位到第四个小标题，可知学生的大部分贷款都是联邦贷款，他们也向私人债主借钱，而最糟糕的是他们还透支信用卡，造成信用卡债务，由此可得答案。

14.teachers

15.cholesterol-filledplaquescholesterol-filledplaques解析：同义转述题。本处需要填入名词性成分来作by的宾语。由定位句可知，题干将原文中的resultfrom替换为arecausedby，属于同义替换，因此即可得答案为cholesterol-filledplaques。

16.C解析：第3段最后一句：Harassedwiththeirowncareersandchildren，adultchildrenmaypushtheirparentstoofasttomakeamajortransition．原文提到当成年子女疲于开创事业和照顾孩子时，他们可能会过于心急地把他们的父母推开，但没有提到他们依赖父母的帮助，所以答案是NG。

19.lovetheworldasitislovetheworldasitis解析：空白处应为不定式词组。本题可以说是考查作者写第4个小标题下的内容的目的，也可以说是考查全文的写作目的lovetheworldasitis正是本题答案。

20.A解析：参见文中倒数第4段第1句：“Thenetannualenergysavingsforadomeowneris30%lessthannormalrectilinear(直线的)homesaccordingtotheOregonDomeCo，”(圆顶房屋的住户每年能源节约量要比常规的直线房屋的住户少30%。)

21.D解析：综合推断题。女士说Iwouldhavebeenpresentforit是虚拟语气，表示她没有去，所以D正确。

22.B解析：男士让女士描述一下当时的情形，女士说当时她正在睡觉，突然听到一阵可怕的声音，地板掀了起来，并像波浪一样摇晃，而这一切都是同时发生的。这显然不会是发生了暴风雪(snowstorm)和交通事故(trafficaccident)，飓风(hurricane)也不会掀起室内地板。所以四个选项中，地震(earthquake)是最符合这一情形的。

23.D解析：M：Doyouthinkthatinasensetelevisionhaskilledpeople'sownsortofcreativity?
