问题 You’re busy filling out the application form for a position you really need；let’s assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree．Isn’t it tempting to lie just a little，to claim off the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree?Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University?
    More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers，for personnel officers，like most Americans，value degrees from famous schools．A job applicant may have a good education anyway，but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university．Registrars at most well- known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week．
    Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms，then．If it turns out that an applicant’s lying，most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly．One Ivy League school calls them impostors；another refers to them as special cases．One well-known West Coast school，in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all，says that these claims are made by no such people．
    To avoid outright lies，some job-seekers claim that they attended or were associated with a college or university．After carefully checking，a personnel officer may discover that attending means being dismissed after one semester．It may be that being associated with a college means that the j ob—seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend．One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century-that’s when they began keeping records，anyhow．
    If you don’t want to lie or even stretch the truth．there are companies that will sell you a phony diploma．One company，with offices in New York and on the West Coast，will put your name off a diploma from any number of Don—existent colleges．The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from Smoot State University．The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the University of Purdue．As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana properly called Purdue University，the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper．
This passage implies that(    )．
选项 A、buying a false degree is not moral
B、personnel officers only consider applicants from famous schools
C、most people lie on applications because they were dismissed from school
D、society should be greatly responsible for lying on applications
答案D
解析 本道题关键句是“As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana properly called Purdue University，the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper．”由此可以推断出文章其实暗含着社会应该倡导诚信风气。所以答案应该是D。
