问题     A Census Bureau (人口调查局) survey released Thursday shows a college graduate can expect to earn $2.1 million working full-time between 25 and 54, which demographers (人口学家) call a typical work-life period. A master’s degree-holder is projected to earn 2.5 million, while someone with a professional degree, such as a doctor or lawyer, could make even more-- $4.4 million. In contrast, a high school graduate can expect to make $1.2 million during the working years, according to the bureau report that tracked the influence of education on lifetime earnings.
    Not all students look at college as an Investment," but I am sure parents do," said Jacqueline King, policy analyst with the American Education Council, a higher education advocacy (拥护) group. "The college is to convince those high school students on the margins that it is really worth their time to go to college. " Kevin Malecek, a graduate student in American politics at American University in Washington said most of his classmates find higher education to be worth the time and financial promise.  "They go to every single class, and they are trying to get the most out of their own dollar," he said. The survey was conducted between March 1998 and March 2000. All estimates are based on 1999 salaries and probably will increase as salaries rise over time, CensusBureau analyst Jennifer Day said. The estimates do not account for inflation (物价上涨) or for differences in the earning potential of various fields of study. For example, people with computer science degrees tend to earn more than those with social work degrees.
The result of the Census Bureau’s survey seems to be ______.

选项 A、rough
B、accurate
C、incorrect
D、perfect

答案A

解析 细节题。对一个事物的评价首先要基于对其客观认识之上,根据第二段的描述,特别是最后三句的描述,可知该调查比较粗略,因为没有考虑物价上涨及不同领域的差别,故答案为A。
