问题     If you know exactly what you want, the best route to a job is to get specialized training. A recent survey shows that companieslike the graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training.
    That’ s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell’ s School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor’ s degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies, especially, like a background of formal education coupled with work experience.
    But in the long run, too much specialization doesn’t pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the impact of a degree washes out after five years.
    As further evidence of the erosion of corporate faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices. Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle-and upper-level management. " They want someone who isn’ t constrained by nuts and bolts to look at the big picture," says Scheetz.
    This sounds suspiciously like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts graduate. Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have; writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adapt-ability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems. David Birch claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree. " I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things," says Birch. Liberal-arts means an academically thorough and strict program that includes literature, history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior—plus a computer course or two. With that under your belt, you can feel free to specialize. "A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace," says Scheetz.
By saying "... but the impact of a degree washes out after five years"(Para. 3), the author means______.
选项 A、most MBA programs fail to provide students with a solid foundation
B、an MBA degree does not help promotion to managerial positions
C、MBA programs will not be as popular in five years’ time as they are now
D、in five years people will forget about the degree the MBA graduates have got
答案B
解析 细节题。文章三～五段讨论了公司内部在选拔中高层管理人员过程中是如何看待学位的。分析文章的结构，可以看出事实上四～五段是对作者上述观点的论证。第四段的第二句话Although companies…management意思是说，公司招聘新员工时非常注重学位(即具有专业知识)，但在选拔中高层管理人员时就看重总体素质了。也就是说，持有学位在刚刚进入公司时是必要的，受欢迎的，但若干年后在选拔中高级人才时，学位就不那么重要了，这时看重的是综合素质。根据上述分析，可以确定B项为正确答案。
