11.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 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們敘述了大學(xué)重要的不僅僅是獲得學(xué)術(shù)成就,還要學(xué)會很好的照顧自己的觀點,作者旨在鼓勵大學(xué)生們在大學(xué)里學(xué)會一些生活技能,然后才作出大的飛躍.
解答 41.B.詞義推斷題.根據(jù)文章第二段"but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus,most of us were out of our comfort zone"但事實是,當(dāng)我們第一次來到校園,我們大多數(shù)人都出了我們的舒適區(qū),可知大學(xué)是有陰暗面的,根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折可知前文是從積極方面講述的,因此rose-tinted spectacles 是積極視角的意思;故選B.
42.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第四段"When I first got to university I don't think I'd realized that I'd forgotten how to make friends"Kirsty在她大學(xué)的第一天覺得最困難的事是不知道如何結(jié)交新朋友;故選A.
43.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文第五段"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""You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably"用排除法可知Dr.Ruth Caleb并不認(rèn)為平衡社會成就和學(xué)術(shù)成就是大學(xué)很重要的事;故選D.
44.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第一段"but I must admit my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness"但我必須承認(rèn)我的講師對于我的我遲到很耐心,可推測講師總是寬容大學(xué)生的失范行為;故選C.
45.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第一段"I made lots of friends in my student dorm,went to great parties,joined the debating society…"我在學(xué)生宿舍里交了很多朋友,去了偉大的黨,加入了辯論社…可知我在大學(xué)了獲得了很多成就;故選B.
