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
【S2】

选项

答案L

解析 空格前的but提示后一分句和前一分句形成转折,前一分句指出执行主要依靠雇主,后一分句形成转折,因此这里应选penalties。而后面的getting sacked和being exposed as a fraud都是惩罚,的一种具体手段,进一步提示此空的意思。
