Wrong Reasons for Going to College

A college education can be priceless. 【1】 If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision, you’re probably right to second-guess yourself.

Because all your friends are going.

In only a few weeks’ time, the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleges in a half dozen different places. Not to go will set yourself apart. 【2】

Because someone else expects it from you.

Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college, or maybe you’re the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there. 【3】 It’s become so much a part of the air you breathe that you’ve never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you’re ready to go.

【4】

It’s been tough to find even a summer job. You don’t have an alternative plan. Everyone else is doing it (see above). You think you might as well go to school. That is the lamest（無說服力的）of reasons to spend $ 20,000 or more in the next year.

Because you are afraid you’ll regret it if you don’t go.

Your uncle tells you that he regrets that he didn’t go to college. Others tell you they could have gone so much further in their career if only they had a college education. 【5】 So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college.

A. Because you don’t want to work.

B. Friends will wonder what’s wrong with you.

C. Because you don’t know what else to do.

D. Everyone seems more excited than you are.

E. It seems that for years everyone has just thought that of course you’ll go.

F. Whatever the story is, there are always people who regret decisions they’ve made.

G. But maybe in your heart you know that you are going for the wrong reasons.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】B

【3】E

【4】C

【4】F

【解析】

試題分析: 本文講述的是大學(xué)教育是無價的，但是許多人卻因為錯誤原因而上大學(xué)。

【1】G考查上下文理解題。根據(jù)空前的priceless和空后的factors以及題干中的reasons判斷，此處應(yīng)與前文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，并引出下文。故選G項。

【2】B 考查上下文理解題。根據(jù)該段前的主題是Because all your friends are going因為你所有的朋友都去上了。此處是該段的句尾，根據(jù)前文朋友都去上大學(xué)了，你沒有去，他們就會懷疑你怎么了。可知選B。。

【3】E考查上下文理解題。根據(jù)空前的家中everyone都去上大學(xué)，當然你也不例外，多年來他們都認為你也應(yīng)該去。故選E項。

【4】C考查上下文理解題。根據(jù)下文的You don’t have an alternative plan. Everyone else is doing it (see above)你無可選擇。其他的人都這樣做。故選C。

【4】F考查上下文理解題。根據(jù)空前的兩句話都是長輩們都在后悔沒有上大學(xué)，他們提醒你也會會后自己不去上大學(xué)的決定。故選F。
