　　【小题1】B

　　【小题2】D

　　【小题3】C

　　【小题4】A解析

　　分析：

　　文章介绍我们过分强调大学学位的重要性，实际上大学学位并不能保证就业和光明的未来，反而技术工人现在需求很大，我们可以增加技术院校的比例或向欧洲国家学习，重视初期的教育，保证大学的质量。

　　【小题1】细节题：从第二段的句子：“We’vebeentellingstudentsandtheirfamiliesforyearsthatcollegeistheonlywaytosucceedintheeconomyandofcoursethere’salotoftruthtothat”可知人们通常认为没有上大学就不会成功，选B

　　【小题2】猜词题：从后面的句子：“TheEuropeancountriesputalittlemoreattentiontogettingpeoplepreparedintheprimarygrades”shesaid.“Thentheyhaveahigherbarforwhoevergoestocollege—butonceyougetintocollegeyou’remorelikelytobehighlysubsidized(资助).”可知欧洲更重视早期的教育，这种做法是很好的，所以应该向他们学习，“takingapagefrom”="learn"from，选D。

　　【小题3】细节题：从最后一段的句子：Shealsoisasupporteroftechnicaltraining—toteachstudentshowtobeplumbersweldersandcomputerprogrammers—because“employersaredesperate”forworkerswiththeseskills.可知技术工人现在需求很大，选C。

　　【小题4】细节题：从第一段的句子：Eveninaweakjobmarkettheoldcollegetryisn’ttheanswerforeveryone.AbriefingpaperfromtheBrookingsInstitutionwarnsthat“wemayhaveoverdonethemessage”oncollege可知Ms.Sawhill认为我们过分强调大学学位的重要性，选A
