Question

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.       

       After twenty years of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard’s MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue.

      There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry- level management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, “Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?” The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands.

Which of the following descriptions most likely applies to Wall Street?

A. a center for international affairs

B. a major financial center

C. a shopping district         

D. a neighborhood in New York

Answer 1

Đáp án B

Miêu tả nào sau đây có thể thích hợp nhất với Phố Wall?

A. Một trung tâm ngoại giao

B. Một trung tâm tài chính lớn

C. Một khu vực mua sắm

D. Một vùng lân cận ở New York

Dẫn chứng: The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities... (Yếu tố đầu tiên là nhiều sinh viên tốt nghiệp đại học 4 năm nhận thấy rằng bằng MBA không đảm bảo công việc tốt ở phố Wall hoặc các khu vực tài chính khác ở các thành phố lớn của nước Mỹ.)
