问题     In the past, degrees were very unusual in my family. Today, five of my
brothers and sisters have degrees, and two are studying for their masters.
Furthermore, some people think that this increased access to education is (1)______
devaluing degrees. In this essay, I will look at some of the arguments for and
against the increased emphasis on degrees in our society.
    People have several arguments for the need for degrees. They say (2)______
that having so many graduates devalues a degree. People lose respect
to the degree holder. It is also claimed that education has become a rat (3)______
race. Graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of study
ing. Another point is that study for such a long time leads to learners (4)______
to becoming inflexible. They know a lot about one narrow subject, but are un- (5)______
able to apply their skills. Employers prefer more flexible and adoptable workers. (6)______
    However, I feel strongly that this move to have more qualifications is a (7)______
positive development. In the past education was only for the rich and power
ful. Now it is available to everyone, and this will have many advantages for
the country and individual. First of all, it is impossible to be overeducated. (8)______
The more people are educated, the better the world will be, because people
will be able to discuss and exchange ideas. A further point is that people
with degrees have many more opportunities. They can take a wider variety
of jobs and do what they enjoy doing, instead of forced to take a job they (9)______
dislike. Finally, a highly educated workforce are good for the economy of (10)______
the country. It attracts foreign investment.
    In conclusion, although there are undoubtedly some problems with
increased levels of education, I feel strongly that the country can only prog
ress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.

答案are — is
解析 这里“workforce”应作为一个整体看待，表示“(一个国家的)劳动力”，所以后接的动词应为单数形式。
