问题     If you are the owner of an MBA that was suspiciously easy to earn, steer clear of Oregon. It is one of the few states in America that【S1】______pursues the sellers and ’users of fake degrees. Elsewhere, enforcement is largely up to employers, but the【S2】______can still be stiff: getting sacked,【S3】______your career and being exposed as a fraud. All across America, however, thou sands of hard-working MBA evidently think that the risks of【S4】______are worth taking since in most places it is no straightforward matter for employers to sort the genuine qualifications from the fake one.
    In credential-conscious America, thousands of such degrees are,【S5】______"every year. Some companies sell counterfeit diplomas from real schools, while others offer real degrees by bribing someone to insert fake files into a【S6】______school’s systems.
    A fake MBA -- unlike a fake medical degree -- will not kill anyone. But hiring a person with one can still prove expensive. Investing time and salary in someone who turns out to be【S7】______is bad enough, but if he makes an error before being caught, it could cost much more in lawsuits. So how to ensure that an MBA has been earned rather than【S8】______? George Gollin, a professor at the University of Illinois, has posted a presentation describing how he tracked various schools he alleges are fake diploma mills. Putting the name of one of these schools into Google turns up a web encyclopedia【S9】______of diploma mills. If a would-be employee has bought a degree from a diploma mill,【S10】______the name of its institution into a search engine will pro duce similar results.

[A] effective            [F] list                [K] awarded
[B] valid                [G] bought              [L] penalties
[C] gradually            [H] exposure            [M] aggressively
[D] ruining              [I] unqualified         [N] sending
[E] rewarded             [J] typing              [O] hurting
【S8】

选项

答案G

解析 空格前面的rather than提示所填词与earned并列,但表示相反的意思,因此选bought,表不 MBA学位是买的,而不是通过努力获得的,和文章整体所讲的假文凭正好相符。
