细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的内容可知他们拥有文凭，但是没有职业技能，因而难以找到高报酬的工作。(3)d 细节理解题。第三段中提到他们像蚂蚁一样住在狭窄的地方，聪明而勤奋，然而却不被人知而且薪水很低，但并不是说他们喜欢不被人知和低工资，故d项内容错误。(4)b 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的内容可知张教授认为解决问题的方法是发展比较小的城市来吸引毕业生。(5)a写作意图题。作者写作本文意在告诉我们虽然“蚁族”中有相当一部分人拥有高学历，但是他们仍然在为生存苦苦挣扎。*结束高考预练.单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)1doctor nathan is said to have been _ to researching into wild
