分析：選項(xiàng)B中often 一詞，語(yǔ)氣委婉，不十分肯定，故為答案。而其它三項(xiàng)中所表達(dá)出的語(yǔ)氣都明顯絕對(duì)化。

A．society can‘t provide enough jobs for properly trained college graduates
B．high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college education？
C．too many students have to earn their own living
D．college administrators encourage students to drop out
分析：答案項(xiàng)C中有have to，語(yǔ)氣太絕對(duì)化，故被排除。而A項(xiàng)中can‘t 的語(yǔ)氣則不十分絕對(duì)化，故為答案。

（三）選項(xiàng)中照抄原文的一般不是答案項(xiàng)，而同義替換的一般是選項(xiàng)。

分析：答案項(xiàng)中A、D兩項(xiàng)基本上是原文中句子的原現(xiàn)，故被排除。B項(xiàng)中有often 一詞，語(yǔ)氣委婉，不十肯定，故為答案。

分析：A項(xiàng)句子基本上是原文詞句，C項(xiàng)中有already一詞，語(yǔ)氣太絕對(duì)化，故A、C兩項(xiàng)被排除。剩下B、D兩項(xiàng)，而D項(xiàng)中有不十分肯定語(yǔ)氣詞may not，故選D．

（四）較全面、有針對(duì)性地表達(dá)文章中心思想的，選項(xiàng)一般是答案項(xiàng)。
