Does the benefit outweigh the cost？The answer，in fact，is yes，when you look at the road ahead. When the economy becomes more challenged，competition for the workforce increases，and employers look for employees with the best credentials(资历). Having an overseas degree—from a university where strong English skills are required—can make all the difference. The added expertise of a foreign degree，along with more cultural experience，can make you more qualified for many jobs. A 50－year study of 3，400 students shows that studying abroad is usually a defining moment in a young person’s life and continues to impact the participant’s life for years after the experience. 82% said that they acquired skills that influenced their career path. 70% stated that it ignited(点燃) an interest in a career direction that they pursued after the experience. And the effect on one’s career can be equally strong. A study by the Queensland，Australia government showed：　61% of employers stated overseas studying experience was positive on a graduate resume. 72% of employers felt that a second language made a graduate a more attractive employee. Still，there’s the question of how to pay for studying overseas. But the cost doesn’t have to be as high as you think. Scholarships may be available to cover some or all of these costs. And，there are plenty of ways to further offset(抵消)the cost—through financial tips，advice and grants(补助金). (　　)1．The second study shows that studying abroad ________. A．helps one to get a job　 B．affects one’s whole life　C．affects one’s career direction　 D．helps one to make more money　(　　)2．The author tries to prove his idea by ________. A．giving examples　 B．answering questions　C．listing facts and numbers　 D．offering advice and solutions　(　　)3．What does the author think about the university fees?A．Financial tips must increase the university fees. B．Scholarships can cover some of the costs. C．Money is a serious problem for studying abroad. D．There are few ways for the students to earn money. (　　)4．What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?A．Studying abroad is easy.  B．Studying abroad is rewarding. C．The effects of studying abroad.  D．The problems with studying abroad. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。在当今不景气的经济形势下，出国留学能否如过去一样得到回报是值得深思的。本文通过两项调查，说明了出国留学仍是一个明智的选择，尤其是在就业市场竞争激烈的今天。1．A　细节理解题。第六段第二项调查表明，有着海外留学经历和会第二外语的求职者更具吸引力，说明留学可以使求职者更容易找到工作。故选A。2．C　推理判断题。作者在第一、二段表明自己的观点，从第四段中“82%，70%”和第六段中“61%，72%”可以看出，作者通过列举事实及数据来证明自己的观点。故选C。3．B　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Scholarships may be available to cover some or all of these costs”可知，奖学金可以解决一些你的学费问题。故选B。4．B　主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段可知，在当今经济困难时期，重新考虑出国留学的目标是很自然的。收益是否大于成本？ 事实上，当你放眼未来，答案是肯定的。以及本文通过两项调查，说明了出国留学是一个明智的选择，因为数据显示海外留学生在职场竞争中占有优势。由此判断出作者想告诉我们出国留学是值得的。故选B。Ⅱ．七选五　(2023·山东潍坊高二联考)Are you planning to study a course from a foreign university?
