【参考解析】：

1.B主旨题。

文章第一段简要概述了求职人员在求职过程中对自己的学历弄虚作假这一社会现象，然后在第二、三段分别给出一些具体的例子进行说明，所以B正确。

　　2.B推断题。

由第二段中前半部分的Ifitturnsoutthatanapplicantislying...schoolcallsthem"impostors";anotherreferstothemas"specialcases"可知，imposters和specialcases指的都是编造虚假学历，所以B正确。

　　3.D推断题。

由文章第一段倒数第二句中的forpersonnelofficers,likemostAmericans,valuedegreesfromfamousschools可知，名牌大学的毕业生在求职过程中比其他人有优势，所以D正确。

　　4.D推断题。

文章讲述的是在简历中对学历弄虚作假这一问题，同时也指出，问题出现的原因是大学都很看重学历，特别是名牌大学的文凭，由此可知，这是一种社会现象，全社会对此都负有责任，所以D正确。

　　5.C语义题。

该词所在句意为“如果你不想撒谎又不愿和盘托出，会有公司愿意卖给你________交凭”，再结合下文提到的售卖假文凭的公司的情况可知，C（假的）正确。

thorough意为“彻底的”，ultimate意为“最终的”，decisive意为“决定性的”，均排除
