In the Real World, Nobody Cares that You Went to an Ivy League School
[A] As a high school junior, everything in my life revolved around getting into the right college. I diligently attended my SAT, ACT, and Advanced Placement test preparation courses. I juggled (尽力应付) cross-country and track schedules, newspaper staff, and my church\’ s youth group and drama team. I didn\’ t drink, party, or even do much dating. The right college, I thought, was one with prestige, one with a name. It didn\’ t have to be the Ivy League, but it needed to be a \\
1.Modest institutions can also have successful graduates and strong alumni networks.
J
解析：该段第三句作者列举了三位成功校友。第四句提到，成功人士无论在哪里上学，都会取得成功，而低层次学校也可以拥有与名校一样强大的校友网络。题干中的modest institutions对应于原文中的lower-tier schools，strong alumni networks与原文一致，故答案为J。
2.The money the author made in high school helped pay for her living expenses and books at college.
G
解析：该段末句提到，作者用高中时赚到的钱支付生活费用和书费。题干中的living expenses and books对应于原文中的living costs and books，故答案为G。
3.The author came to see how costly college education could be when she was trying to choose a university to attend.
C
解析：该段前四句描述了作者选择大学的过程，接着第五句提到，直到那时，作者才真正意识到教育的成本有多昂贵。题干中的how costly college education could be是对原文中how expensive an education can be的同义转述，故答案为C。
4.A recent study found that a graduate’ s salary is determined by their potential, not the university they attended.
K
解析：该段末句提到，研究人员发现，无论就读于哪所学校，潜力更大的学生在成年后赚的钱更多，反之亦然。可见，题干是对该句话的同义转述，故答案为K。
5.The author cannot recall for sure what made certain top universities appear a lot better.
B
解析：该段首句提到，九年后的现在回想起来，作者已记不清这些大学究竟为什么看起来要比其他学校好得多。题干中的cannot recall for sure对应于原文中的can’t remember exactly，appear a lot better对应于原文中的seem so much better，故答案为B。
6.None of the author’ s job interviewers cared which college she went to.
H
解析：该段第四句提到，作者在参加面试时，没有一位面试官问过她的教育背景。题干中的cared which college she went to是对原文中asked me about my educational background的同义转述，故答案为H。
7.The author thinks she did the right thing in choosing a less prestigious university.
N
解析：该段第三句提到，无论如何，如果再给作者一次机会，她仍然会做出同样的选择。题干是对原文这句话的同义转述，故答案为N。
8.In order to be admitted to a prestigious university, the author took part in various extracurricular activities and attended test preparation courses.
A
解析：该段前三句提到，高三时候，作者的一切生活都以考入一所合适的大学为中心。她刻苦努力，参加了SAT、ACT考试和预科考试准备课程。她还同时参加了越野比赛和田径赛跑，还要当报纸工作人员，还是教会青年组合和戏剧团队的成员。可见题干是对这三句话的总结概括，故答案为A。
9.The author liked her university which was not prestigious but less expensive.
E
解析：该段前两句提到，虽然佐治亚州立大学可能比较实用，但并不是很有声望。但问题是：作者喜欢她的“低层次”大学。最后一句提到，毕竟，还有什么其他学校，能让你在毕业时拿到像样的学位，又不至于一辈子债务缠身呢?可见作者所在的大学费用较低，不会产生巨额债务。题干中的not prestigious与原文一致，less expensive对应于原文中的without a lifetime of debt，故答案为E。
10.Colleges are reluctant to admit that graduates today are in heavier debt.
I
解析：该段前两句提到，据《波士顿环球报》报道，2012年获得学士学位的学生平均每月要支付312美元的贷款，比2004年的毕业生多出三分之一。总归，大学不想承认这一点。题干中的reluctant to admit对应于原文中的don’t want to admit，故答案为I。
