问题     A major incentive (动力) for college attendance is the belief that it will prepare you for a career. Chances are that the career you want, whether in nursing, counseling, law, or management, requires a college education. Even if the return of your education isn’t as great as it used to be, you would probably rather be a relatively poorly paid lawyer than a secretary or a construction worker: you would probably rather be a manager than a managee. In the sense that a degree is increasingly required for even middle-level jobs, your investment in a college education will still pay off.
    It can pay off in other ways too. It is a value judgement to say that a college education will make you a better person, but it is a value judgement that the vast majority of college graduates are willing to make survey after survey to demonstrate that people feel very positive about their college education, believing that it has made them better and more tolerant people.
    Whether it makes you a better person or not, a college education is likely to have a lasting effect on your knowledge and values. If you finish college, you will sit through 30 to 45 different courses. Even the least dedicated student is bound to learn something from these courses. In addition, students learn informally. Whether you go to college in you hometown or across the country, college will introduce you to a greater diversity of people than you ’ re likely to have experienced before. This diversity will challenge your mind and broaden your horizons.
    As a result of formal and informal learning, college graduates are more knowledgeable about the world around them, more tolerant and less prejudiced, more active in public and community affairs, and, more open to new ideas.
The word "dedicated" (Line 3, Para. 3 ) could best be replaced by______.
选项 A、hardworking
B、competent
C、intelligent
D、conservative
答案A
解析 词语理解题。第三段第三句中的Even一词点明了本句话所要表达的意思应与上文有所不同，或意思相反。前文讲到“大学教育对你的知识和价值观都有着长远的影响……”，接下来笔锋一转，说到“即使最不……的人也可以从中学到一些东西”，可以推知应该是指最不努力、最不用功的人，又因前面有the least来修饰，故与dedicated的最相近的词应该是hardworking。故选A。
