What does layabouts mean in the following sentence "That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of pampered layabouts" ?
As Dr. Golle reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their post-school years in vocational training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them.
Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2, 095 German youngsters. During the period under investigation, Germany had three tracks in its schools: a low one for pupils who would most probably leave school early and enter vocational training; a high one for those almost certain to enter university; and an intermediate one, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes.
The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits (openness, neuroticism, conscientiousness, agreeableness and extroversion). The other was of attitudes (realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising and conventional).
Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 opted for vocational training and a job. When it came to the second round of tests, Dr Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had changed not a statistically detectable jot. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either — except in one crucial respect. They had become more conscientious. That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of pampered layabouts.
But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were more worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers. Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed off limits to the degreeless. But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, computer programmers, finance-sector workers, estate agents and entrepreneurs as careers requiring these attributes. If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people’s choices, that is indeed a matter of concern.

数字信息的找寻和判断。本题干“How many German youngsters did Dr.Golle study on their early careers”询问的是“格勒博士针对德国年轻人的早期职业生涯研究了多少案例”,根据关键词定位原文“Dr.Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2,095 German youngsters”,意思是“格勒博士和她的同事们对2 095名德国年轻人的早期职业生涯进行了研究,得出了这一结论”。由此可知,B选项中的数字“2, 095”为正确答案,A、C、D三个选项中的数字,都是干扰项。此题考查的主要是学生对于数字的听辨能力,要求根据题干关键信息,在听辨过程中对出现的相关数字运用笔记法进行记录,最后才能选出正确选项。
