参考答案
正确答案:B
参考译文美国人所谓的成功是获取财富、达到较高的物质生活水平。因此,美国人重视教育的金钱价值并不令人惊讶。在美国,受的教育越高,毕业之后赚的钱就越多的想法非常普遍。这种观点强烈地反映出了人们对本科学历,或本科毕业后获得的法律、医学等专业学位的期望。研究生学位在像艺术、历史或者哲学这些领域,其金钱价值并不大。教育的金钱价值的想法得到了对收入的研究结果的支持。社会科学家本?瓦藤伯格估算1972年有大学文凭的人一生中可以比只有高中文凭的人多挣38万美元。这可能有助于解释调查的结果,调查结果表明希望过上与现实生活不同的生活的美国人,最后悔的一件事就是没能接受更多的教育。后悔的人中爬上上层社会的和没爬上上层社会的都有。甚至像道格拉斯?弗雷泽,美国汽车联合工会的主席,闻名全国的成功领袖,也后悔自己没有接受最高教育。26.B【精析】本题考查副词的用法辨析。however然而,表示转折关系;therefore因此,表示因果关系;moreover而且,表示递进关系;though虽然,表示让步。本句和第一句话是因果关系,故选择therefore。
