主题课文 · 职业教育值不值

Is Vocational Training Out of Date?
原创课文，narrator 是一名教育政策研究生，讨论职业教育与大学的价值之争。C1 难度，搭配与介词密集——第 3 章逐个拆。

课文 · Is Vocational Training Out of Date?

（可参看「惯用搭配与介词」深化页）
There is a growing tendency among young people to be obsessed with attending university, regardless of whether they are suited to academic study. Vocational courses, by contrast, are often perceived as inferior, yet they equip students with practical skills that employers rely on. A graduate may be theoretically capable of solving abstract problems, but many are ill-prepared for the demands of the workplace. This is not to dismiss higher education, which contributes enormously to research and innovation. Rather, the assumption that a degree is the only route to a stable career is detrimental to both individuals and society. Countries that invest in apprenticeships, such as Germany, consistently report high rates of youth employment. It is high time we ceased equating success with a certificate, and recognised that competence, not paper, is what most industries are crying out for.
如今年轻人越来越执着于上大学，不管自己是否适合学术学习。相比之下，职业课程常被视为低人一等，然而它们却让学生掌握雇主所依赖的实用技能。一个毕业生也许在理论上有能力解决抽象问题，但许多人对职场的要求准备不足。这并非要否定高等教育——它对科研与创新贡献巨大。相反，那种认为学位是稳定职业唯一途径的假设，对个人和社会都有害。像德国这样投资学徒制的国家，青年就业率一直很高。我们早该停止把成功等同于一纸证书，承认大多数行业真正渴求的是能力，而不是文凭。
本课核心词：tendency, obsessed, regardless, suited, vocational, equip, rely on, capable, ill-prepared, contribute, detrimental, apprenticeship, competence

课文精讲 · C1 怎么把句子写学术

论为什么这段课文是搭配介词教材

FCE 写法（介词随意）：I am good in maths. She is interested with art.

C1 写法（固定搭配）：be obsessed with；be suited to；rely on；capable of；contribute to；detrimental to。

升级点 1 — 形容词 + 介词：obsessed with, suited to, capable of, prone to, detrimental to。

升级点 2 — 动词 + 介词：rely on, contribute to, equip someone with sth, invest in。

升级点 3 — 名词 + 介词：a tendency toward, a lack of, a demand for, a route to。

考试怎么考：Part 2 开放完形直接考介词；Part 4：are good at → are capable of。

记
这一章要记住的 5 个搭配

① be obsessed with 痴迷于

② be suited to 适合

③ equip someone with skills 使某人具备技能

④ be detrimental to 对…有害

⑤ it is high time ... 早该…

02

词汇延展 · 升学与胜任词族

Academic & Career
C1 写教育职业不能只用 study hard / good job。要把升学、胜任、职场、学徒四组学术词配齐。Part 3 爱考 employ→employable, compete→competence。

四组词族

教育职业词族（C1 高频）
组核心词搭配/备注
升学与学术academic, discipline, curriculum, tuition, enrollment, graduationenrol on a course 注册课程
胜任与准备competent, competence, equipped, qualified, ill-prepared, proficientbe competent in English 英语胜任
职场recruit, employer, workplace, apprenticeship, promotion, tenureoffer a promotion 提供晋升
词族转换employ→employable→employer; compete→competence; qualify→qualifiedPart 3 直接考词性
高频陷阱

① interested in / keen on / fond of：三个介词不同，别混。

② arrive in（大地方）/ arrive at（小地点）。

③ depend on / independent of：independent 后接 of。

④ affect/effect：affect vt. / effect n.。

03

语法延展 · 惯用搭配与介词

Collocations & Dependent Prepositions
C1 写作口语拿高分的关键不是大词，而是搭配精准。形容词、动词、名词后面跟什么介词是固定的，Part 2 开放完形和 Part 4 KWT 都直接考。

搭配介词全表

C1 高频 dependent prepositions
结构规则例子
形容词 + 介词obsessed with, suited to, capable of, prone to, detrimental to, keen onShe is capable of leadership.
动词 + 介词rely on, contribute to, equip with, invest in, specialise in, cope withThis course equips you with skills.
名词 + 介词a tendency toward, a lack of, demand for, a route to, an advantage overThere is a lack of funding.
It is high time + 过去式早该…（虚拟）It is high time we stopped this.
最高频陷阱

① 介词别凭感觉：capable of（不是 to）；detrimental to（不是 for）。

② It is high time 后用过去式：It is high time we stopped（不是 stop）。

③ independent of：independent of（不是 from）。

考试怎么考：Part 2 直接填介词 of/with/to/in。

功能句型 · Essay 论证 + 口语 Part 4

Argumentative Essay & Extended Interview
CAE Writing Part 1 Essay 常考教育职业类论证（大学是否值得/职业教育价值）；口语 Part 4 深入追问。三套模板 + 考场对话。

三套句型模板

论证利弊（Essay）
There is a growing tendency to ... The assumption that ... is detrimental to ... On balance, ... outweigh ...
有一种日益增长的趋势…／认为…的假设对…有害／总体来说…超过…
考点：搭配介词用在论点句和结论句最自然，Part 4 用在深入表态时。
让步与立场
While it is true that ..., it would be a mistake to ... This is not to dismiss ..., which ... Rather, ... is what ...
诚然…但…是错误的／这并非否定…它…／相反…才是…
考点：搭配介词用在论点句和结论句最自然，Part 4 用在深入表态时。
口语 Part 4 深入
I would go further: ... If anything, the real issue is ... That said, I would not want to overstate ...
我甚至会说…／要说真问题是…／不过我不想夸大…
考点：搭配介词用在论点句和结论句最自然，Part 4 用在深入表态时。

场景对话 · 口语 Part 4（大学是否还值得读）

Examiner: Let us consider further: is a university degree still worth it? Student: I would go further than saying it is not worth it. The assumption that a degree guarantees a stable career is detrimental to both young people and society. Universities, to be fair, contribute enormously to research; but many courses are ill-suited to the demands of the workplace. Examiner: Some say higher education is a life experience, not just job training. Student: That said, I would not want to overstate the case. If anything, the real issue is cost: when tuition leaves graduates in debt, competence—not paper—is what most industries are crying out for. It is high time we valued apprenticeships as highly as degrees.
考官：再深入想一下：大学学位还值得吗？／学生：我比"不值得"说得更重一点。认为学位能保证稳定职业的假设，对年轻人和社会都有害。大学说句公道话对科研贡献巨大；但许多课程对职场要求准备不足。／考官：有人说高等教育是人生体验，不只是职业培训。／学生：不过我不想夸大。要说真问题是费用：当学费让毕业生负债，大多数行业渴求的是能力而非文凭。我们早该像重视学位一样重视学徒制了。
得分点：① 搭配介词密集（detrimental to, contribute to, ill-suited to, crying out for）；② 让步（That said / to be fair）；③ It is high time 收尾——C1 标志。
