Question

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Many people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind.Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.

One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.

Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake.Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration.If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.

School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “people_person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decisionmaking process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.

Crucially(至關(guān)重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an aboveaverage student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard.Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close.Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.

試題分析：

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“One of the first considerations may be finance.”可知，作者認(rèn)為經(jīng)濟(jì)問(wèn)題是選擇大學(xué)應(yīng)考慮的首要問(wèn)題。故選C。

【2】段落大意題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“Another major factor is location.”可知，選擇大學(xué)應(yīng)考慮的另一個(gè)主要因素是大學(xué)的地理位置，隨后作者在第三段說(shuō)明了應(yīng)根據(jù)學(xué)校位置和其離家的遠(yuǎn)近來(lái)選擇大學(xué)。A項(xiàng)“大學(xué)的位置是一個(gè)主要因素”符合本段大意。故選A。

【3】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫(huà)線詞所在句子中的“want a wide range of activities”可知，畫(huà)線詞所表示的這種人是“想在大學(xué)期間參加很多活動(dòng)的人”，即喜歡社交的人。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句“Crucially(至關(guān)重要地)，one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted.”可知，在所有的因素中，至關(guān)重要的一點(diǎn)是選擇大學(xué)要從實(shí)際出發(fā)，要考慮到你能否被這所大學(xué)錄取。由此可推知，個(gè)人的成績(jī)是選擇大學(xué)時(shí)最重要的因素。故選D。
