(单选题)
By saying “…but the impact of a degree washes out after five years” (Para.3), the author means ______.
A.most MBA programs fail to provide students with a solid foundation
B.an MBA degree does not help promotion to managerial positions
C.MBA programs will not be as popular in five years’ time as they are now
D.in five people will forget about the degree the MBA graduates have got
参考答案:B
参考解析:
推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially…”可知,工商管理硕士可以找到工作并且一开始就要求较高的薪水,但是“学位的影响力在5年后会消失”。后面第四段紧接着提到“As further evidence of the erosion(销蚀) of corporate(公司的) faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices.Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires,they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management.”可知虽然公司在招募新人时更多地要专才,但对于中层和高层经理岗位,他们更多地要通才。所以工商管理硕士学位能够帮助人们进入公司,但过几年后无法帮助人们进入管理层,与B选项“工商管理硕士学位不能帮助持有者进入管理层”意思一致。其他三项均与三、四段中意思不相符。故选B。”
