M: Hello. Welcome to the program. In America, May and June are the traditional months for graduations. A listener in China, Wang Ming, who is about to get an engineering degree, wants to know how American college graduates find jobs. Right now, the answer is: not very easily. A latest study on the college job market showed that employers wanted to hire 22% fewer graduates this year than last. The study also showed that just 20% of those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now. This is compared to half of students who had looked for a job by this time two years ago. But one difference: fewer of this year’s graduates have started to search for jobs. Engineering graduates were more likely to have started their job search already, and to have accepted a job. This is among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree. On average, engineering majors expect to start at about $62,000 a year.
此段独白是一则电台广播。用于解答一位即将获得工程学位的中国大学生关于美国大学毕业生求职就业状况的疑问。
17. 答案为A。 此题为人物身份推断题，难度不大。根据材料中“Wang Ming, who is about to get an engineering degree”可知Wang Ming 是一名马上就要毕业的学生。
18. 答案为C。 此题为有一定难度的事实细节题。根据材料中“…how American college graduates find jobs. Right now, the answer is: not very easily.”可知美国大学生找工作也是不容易的。正确选项使用了同义转述:“not optimistic”是“not easily”的转换表达。
19. 答案为A。 此题为有关数字的事实细节题。根据材料中“The study also showed that just 20% of those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now.”可知今年只有20%的求职者在毕业前找到了工作。三个选项都来自材料，而且分布十分紧密，很容易造成困扰，听者需边听边快速记笔记，以分辨各数字所对应的信息。
20. 答案为B。 此题为事实细节题，需要对原文中的有关信息进行归纳总结，略有难度。根据材料中“Engineering graduates were more likely to have started their job search already, and to have accepted a job. This is among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree. On average, engineering majors expect to start at about $62,000 a year.”可知仅拥有本科学位的工程类毕业生就可以获得最好的行业薪酬，他们所期望的起始年薪就高达$62,000，在前面提到的“不容易”的大背景下，能推断出容易接受工作的原因和薪资水平有关。另外A中的work experience和C中的 choice均未被提及。
