Question

15．If You Get In，Make College CountAs tuition costs rise，with post-undergraduate （本科畢業(yè)后） jobs difficult to find，is higher education worth the cost？
Here is an unfortunate truth：For far too many incoming freshmen，college-any college-is not worth it．Year after year，students fail to get the full value of their tuition．
Many critics blame this cost/value problem on the universities，though each critic might point to a different reason：teachers always think of difficult research，the high costs of athletics，or the popularity of majors that are supposedly not suited to the new job market，to name some of their favorites．
But these are symptoms and not the illness itself．In our experience，the source of the wasted university experience begins with the student．Too often，students make bad choices or，frankly，just not enough great choices．
Too often we meet students who are so exhausted by the business of getting into college that they don't work hard once they arrive-one of the most common wastes of time and tuition．A poorly constructed transcript （成績單） can be destructive to a student's education．Failure to engage and build professional working relationships with professors in office hours （which may lead to continued study，internships and more） also hurts the student's experience．
Another mistake is failing to make use of the many support networks on today's college campuses．It's almost embarrassing how many good offerings are rolled into each tuition dollar，but most students don't know they exist．
Another common point of failure is filling the schedule with too many extracurricular activities as students once did in high school，rather than getting intensely involved in one or two at most．The same can be said of overburdened course loads．
The final great failure we frequently see is the approach students （and their parents） take to selecting a major and accurately seeing its impact on a future career．University systems are not vocational schools．While critics nowadays complain about the attraction of useless majors-and some do exist-more frequently we see too many students pursue a course of study that is not their strength，simply because it seems to have obvious connections to a potential job after graduation．
Rather than perform poorly in a"practical"major and be of little interest as a future job candidate，we say it is better to major in a subject where a student would do well and master the tools of communication and analysis．Students who choose a unique major should complement （使更具有吸引力） that with some well-chosen skill courses，internships and other co-curricular activities that help with career opportunities after college．
So，is college worth it？It can be．Studies show that college graduates have many advantages-material，social and emotional-that can lead to greater success later in life．
To get the full value out of college，students must be as diligent and creative about getting out of college as they were about getting in．After all，the most beautiful，Olympic saltwater pool does you no good if you don't know how to swim．

點評 任務型閱讀不僅要求學生有良好的閱讀理解能力，還要求學生對詞匯語法有全面的把握，所以在這道題型上要拿到高分是不輕易的，而且還要在基本工扎實的基礎上具備一定的解題技巧．
1．看清要求：所填單詞的詞數(shù)及詞的來源（是否可用文中單詞）
2．瀏覽表格：通過表格展示的信息了解文章結構和所填空格的相關信息．
3．閱讀全文：概括文章大意，注重名稱、數(shù)字和年代，有利于快速定位信息源，同時劃出與所填內容相關的信息，圈出要害詞（組），便于復查時節(jié)省時間．
4．變化詞形：這一步很要害，多數(shù)學生輕易在這里因考慮不全面而出錯．變化時要注重以下幾點：
名詞：留意可不可數(shù)及單復數(shù)
動詞：留意是謂語動詞還是非謂語的用法，謂語動詞要注意時態(tài)和語態(tài)以及第三人稱，非謂語要注意在句中所做成分和動作發(fā)生的先后以及和邏輯主語的關系（主動還是被動）
形容詞和副詞：注意比較級和最高級的變化
連詞：注意文間的邏輯關系
5．另外，今年的任務型閱讀已經不僅僅是在詞形上進行變化，更多的是句與句的轉換甚至是對整段的總結，所以學生要從句子和段落的意思上去分析，切不可只盯著個別詞的轉換．
6．復查：通讀表格，確保表格的語意和語法都準確，句首單詞首字母要大寫，檢查拼寫和語法錯誤，確保書寫清楚準確．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內容，按照事件發(fā)生的先后順序排序（開始句和結尾句序號已給出）．
