Don’t look now, but they’re all around you. They’re standing by the copy machine, hovering by the printer, answering the phone. Yes, they’re the overworked, underappreciated interns: young, eager and not always paid. And with just 20% of the graduating class of 2011 gainfully employed, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, there are more and more of them each day. It seems the importance of internships for securing full-time work has dramatically increased over the years.
Intern, previously used in the medical profession to define a person with a degree but without a license to practice, became a term for a physician in training following World War I, when medical school was no longer seen as preparation enough for practice. Later, the word migrated to politics as an alternative to the term apprentice as a reference to those interested in learning about careers in government. Meanwhile, co-op programs, in which students would work at a company for an extended period during college, emerged. From 1970 to 1983, the number of colleges and universities offering the programs increased from 200 to 1,000. Sure, it took an extra year to earn a B. A, but for three months each school year, students worked for companies they were interested in, tried out careers they weren’t sure about and earned money to help cover tuition.
Internship programs have produced several successes: Bill Gates was once a congressional page, and Oprah Winfrey worked at a CBS affiliate during her college years, just to name a few. Of course, Monica Lewinsky was a 22-year-old White House intern when she engaged in an intimate relationship with President Clinton, a scandal that still taints both offices.
Today’s interns are not limited to summer jobs at their local businesses. Some programs provide dorm housing in cities like New York and Washington, allowing students from around the country to work for the nation’s biggest companies. Many popular cities even have Facebook groups devoted to providing social outings and networking opportunities for the thousands of interns who descend each summer.
Though internships were formerly praised as an opportunity for students to explore career options, doing so now comes with a price. Some experts argue that internships punish those who might decide later than age 18 what they want to do with their life. More important, they can favor wealthier students, who can afford to not make any money during the summer, over the less privileged. Still, with pressure increasing on students to find work, the passion for internships is only growing. To land that first job, career advisers now say, applicants should have two or more internships under their belt. Anyone who takes a summer to simply explore might be too late.
It can be learned from the first paragraph that interns ________.
选项
A、are assigned the least important jobs
B、are almost everywhere on the planet
C、belong to the 20% of the graduating class
D、are more probably to get a full-time offer
答案
D
解析
根据题干可直接定位到第一段。该段最后一句提到,实习对确保全职工作的重要性与日俱增(securing full-time work has dramatically increased over the years)。D项“更可能得到全日制工作”与此相符,故正确。第一段描述了实习生需做的各种工作,但没有提到这些工作的重要性如何,所以A项“被分配到最不重要的工作”错误。该段第一句提到“他们的确是在你周围”,但不能由此就推断出“(实习生)几乎遍布于地球的每个地方”,B项属于过度推断。文中的20%是指2011届毕业生当中只有20%的人实习时是有偿工作,而不是指只有20%的毕业生参加实习。C项也错误。
