14.University-the best days of my life!I made lots of friends in my student dorm,went to great parties,joined the debating society…and,well,I did some work too-but I must admit my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness(拖拉).
It's easy to look back at our university days through rose-tinted spectacles but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus,most of us were out of our comfort zone.
In fact,a survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that 3out of 4students experience high levels of stress,or a mental health condition,during their time at college.The survey,completed by over a thousand students,also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week,and 9% of students feel stressed constantly.
Kirsty,a student at Exeter University,didn't enjoy her first days in college.She says:"When I first got to university I don't think I'd realized that I'd forgotten how to make friends.I'd been with the same school friends for seven years,and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite a young age."
Dr Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunel University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university.She says:"Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life-to do the washing,to do the cleaning and so on-being able to cook.Budgeting is extremely important in university life."And Caleb adds:"You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably."
I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way.I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump.

分析 人們回顧大學(xué)生活經(jīng)常是積極樂觀的,但是分析顯示大部分大學(xué)生遭受著壓力,需要很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間適應(yīng)大學(xué)生活.專家建議,學(xué)會(huì)洗衣做飯,獨(dú)立管理預(yù)算等生活技能將會(huì)更容易適應(yīng)大學(xué)生活.
解答 27-30 BADC
27.B 詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)句子中的but可知,前后半句之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系.后半句的意思是:事實(shí)是當(dāng)我們初次踏進(jìn)大學(xué)校園,大部分人就離開了自己的舒適區(qū).因此推斷前半句意思是:保持積極樂觀的觀點(diǎn)回顧我們的大學(xué)生活是容易的.所以劃線詞的意思是:積極樂觀的觀點(diǎn).positive perspectives"積極的觀點(diǎn)".故選B.
28.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段Kirsty說的話"When I first got to university I don't think I'd realized that I'd forgotten how to make friends.I'd been with the same school friends for seven years"可知,在上大學(xué)的初期階段,她不知道怎么交新朋友.故選A.
29.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第五段Dr Ruth Caleb說的話可知,能夠洗衣做飯,獨(dú)立管理自己的預(yù)算,這些建議是有用的.由第四段最后一句"so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite a young age"可知,平衡社交成功和學(xué)術(shù)成功是大學(xué)新生Kirsty在大學(xué)時(shí)期遇到的困難.故選D.
30.C 推理判斷題.本句句意是"我畢業(yè)了,很艱難地學(xué)會(huì)了照顧自己",結(jié)合上文對(duì)大學(xué)期間大學(xué)生經(jīng)常遭受著壓力可以推斷,作者通過這句話想要表明在大學(xué)期間作者花費(fèi)很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間才適應(yīng)大學(xué)生活.故選C.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對(duì)未說明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論,對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn).
