参考答案B
解析:
定位
由题干中的the socially and financially privileged students定位到文章第三段第二句和第三句 : In Paying for the Party, Hamilton describes what she calls the "party pathway," which eases many students through college, helped along by various clubs that send students into the party scene and a host of easier majors.By sanctioning this watered-down version of college, universities are"catering to the social and educational needs of wealthy students at the expense of others" who won't enjoy the financial backing or social connections of richer students once they graduate.
详解:
推理判断题。定位句指出,“聚会之路”使许多学生的大学毕业变得更加容易,而各种让学生参加聚会的俱乐部以及大量更简单的专业也促成了这一点,通过批准这种精简版本的学院,大学“正在迎合有钱学生的社会和教育需求,却以牺牲其他学生为代价”,由此可知,享有社会和经济特权的学生为了享受人生而能够选择较简单的专业,故答案为B。
点睛
A.“对于同龄的同学,他们往往拥有一种优越感”,原文并未提及享有社会和经济特权的学生拥有优越感,可以排除;C.“他们花大量的时间建立强大的商业人脉关系”,第二段最后一句提到许多本科生的优先事项是课外活动、体育运动、聚会和社交,但既没有强调是享有社会和经济特权的学生,也没有强调是为了建立强大的商业人脉关系,可以排除;D)“即便没有学位,他们也能飞黄腾达”,第四段第一句和第二句指出大学生如果想把学位作为迈人中产阶级的跳板,就需要在大学期间学习技能和知识,而享有更多特权的学生也不能浪费这个机会,由此可知,享有社会和经济特权的学生也需要学位,故D.与原文意思不符,可以排除。
