解析：本文是一篇看图作文，从图画的内容可以看出话题是考证热。文章

可分为三段：第一段简单描述图画，并简述大学生考证热这一现象存在的事实。

第二段首句是该段的主题句，该段详连考证热的原因。第三段阐述考证热的影响，

并用inmyopinion引出作者对考证热的看法，指出对待考证热的正确态度。

考证热

很明显，上面这幅漫画描绘了一个毕业生站在一个应聘台前，骄傲地告诉

来招聘的女士他拥有很多证书。如今，面对日益增加的压力，许多大学生们为了

在人才市场上占得竞争优势纷纷参加了各种培训课程和证件考试。

这种考证热潮是由一系列原因所导致的。该现象的关键在于，大学毕业生

人数不断增加，而工作职位并没有相应地增加。因此，老板们拥有大量的选择，

而他们更愿意雇佣那些相关经验更丰富、技术更好的员工。既然考试和证书在一

定程度上能反映出一个人对某项技术的掌握，那么许多学生都会愿意尝试一下。

这无疑是一件激励自己学习新事物的好事。然而，“考证热”正走向极端。

这不仅仅误导了学生，而且也让他们背上了沉重的包袱。我认为，一纸证书并不

一定反映出一个人真正的水平，因此，我们应用怀疑的眼光来审视这种热潮，避

免徒劳无功。

F.scouring

G.employer

H.liquor

I.vehicle

J.employee

K.liedown

L.pulled

M.reports

N.interview

O.suspect（分数：35.50）

1.（分数:3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：C）

解析：此处需要一个形容词。从第一段字面可知Welch是市长，但从第二

段的语义对比中不难看出作者要强调他也是一名真正的警官，所以certified符合

语义要求，说明他是具有证书或执照的警官。

2.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：L）

解析：此处需要一个动词。本句中的parkinglot停车场，使我们联想到“启

动”或“停止”这一类的动词，在所给出的词中，pull和up搭配正是“停下”

的意思。

3.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：M）

解析：此处需要一个名词。句子的意思是“当时收听到了有人向人群开枪

的广播:广播一般是新闻报道或节目，reports符合文意。

4.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：E）

解析：此处需要一个形容词。根据文意在现场没有人知道子弹是从哪个方

向射过来的，由此可以推断出当时场面一定很混乱，chaotic意思是“混乱的”,

符合文意。

5.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：N）

解析：此处需要一个名词。本句话的意思是稍后Welch在家中通过电话

，联系上下文，Welch是在介绍当时的情况，他可能是在接受电话采访,

在词库中只有interview有此意。

6.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：A）

解析：此处需要一个名词。做这道题我们首先要理解空格前面的单词graze

的意思，graze在这里指擦伤，此句表达的是被枪击中的学生胳膊受伤了，而且

从下一句学生被送到医院也可知学生受伤，所以wound最合适。

7.（分数:3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：F）

解析：begindoingsth.表示开始做某事。此处需要一个非谓语动词。根据

句意，他们开始在这一地区逃离现场的一辆白色吉普车。所以只有scour

“搜寻”符合文意。

8.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：I）

解析：此处需要一个名词。当看到嫌犯的车迎面开来时，警察迫使他停下，

也就是警察控制了这辆车，因此vehicle一词最合适。

9.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：D）

解析：此处需要一个非谓语动词。这里说的是警方抓捕嫌犯的过程，应该

是“警方缴了嫌犯的武器，命令他们从车里出来"，ordering符合文意。

10.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：H）

解析：此处需要一个名词。这句话的意思是“警方在嫌犯的车上发现了一

把左轮手枪,旁边还有一瓶"。在词库中可与之搭配的词是liquor（烈性酒）。
