问题         Q: Can I get a job outside of my college degree?
        A: You can absolutely shift career paths! I’ve seen this successfully done time and time again.
        The fact that you are earning your degree speaks volumes. Employers will want to know what degree you earned and what you studied, but as a recruiter, I’d be more focused on the types of internships you ’ve taken, your skills and experiences (study abroad counts, as well). Subject matter counts, too. So if you’re passionate about psychology and can fit in psychology classes, go for it. (I actually majored in psychology!) I knew at the time that understanding people would be a valuable asset to have during every stage of my life—both business and personal.
        As a former Big 4 recruiter, I was only able to internally recruit candidates for certain positions if they had a degree in accounting. If they earned a degree in business or economics, I was not able to hire them. So, it can help if you can work backwards and begin with the end in mind. For example, if you want to eventually pursue a career in communications, start looking at job openings to determine what type of degree the jobs require.
The phrase "speaks volumes" in the third paragraph could be replaced by_________.

选项 A、provides a lot of information
B、means nothing
C、proves something
D、helps a lot

答案A

解析 含义题。题干:第三段中的短语“speaks volumes”可以被以下替代?该题可结合排除法做出选择。根据关键词speaks volumes定位到文章第三段“The fact that you are earning your degree speaks volumes. Employers will want to know what degree you earned and what you studied…(你获得文凭的事实______。雇主会想知道你获得了什么文凭、学习了什么专业……)”,由此可知文凭是有意义的,能说明一些东西,B项“没有任何意义”错误,故排除。根据第三段转折连词but后的内容“but as a recruiter,I’d be more focused on the types of internships you’ve taken,your skills and experiences(但作为一名招聘人员,我更关注的是应聘者的实习经历、技能和经验)”,可知文凭对于像作者这样的招聘人员来说不是那么重要,他们更注重实习经历。由此可知D项“有很大帮助”不符合文意,故排除。根据第三段内容可知,通过所获文凭可以了解一个人学习了什么专业、学习了什么课程,以及最终获得了什么文凭。由此可知所获文凭能给雇主或者招聘人员提供很多信息,因而可推断出“speaks volumes”的含义为“提供很多信息”,故A项“提供大量信息”为正确答案。C项“证明一些东西”,文凭能够提供关于所学专业和课程等相关信息,但不能说是证明了这些信息,故排除。综上所述,本题选A。
