以下哪项如果正确,都能够支持某一方面的观点,除了( )。

A.某省缺少数万名技术工人,在市场的召唤下,一些已经拿到大学文凭的孩子转而再读中专
B.由于偏远落后地区的整体教育水平的低下,因此大部分学生的成绩较低,不足以到达大学的录取分数线,而只好选择一些不具备竞争力的学校
C.虽然有些孩子考取大学后能找到一份不错的工作,但其仍需用很长的一段时间来偿还上学时所欠下的债
D.农村出身的王某以全省最高分考入北京重点大学,直到毕业一直享受着国家的最高助学金,现在成为中国一所著名高校的教授和博士生导师

答案

参考答案:C

解析: 加强型题目。A项表明中专就可以培养出市场需要的人才,B项农村孩子所去学校很可能不具备竞争力,两项都支持了不让农村孩子上大学的观点。D项农村出身的王某通过上大学改变了自己的命运,支持了让农村孩子上大学的观点。C项前半句支持了让农村孩子上大学的观点,后半句又支持了不让农村孩子上大学的观点,不是支持某一方的观点。故答案选C。
