Question

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項,選項中有兩項為多余選項.
Are You Ready for College?
Before you send in your college applications, keep this in mind: it’s not the norm (準則) in every culture for students to go to college right out of high school.
 【小題1】 So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again. Going to college right after high school may be the norm in your community, but it’s not the norm everywhere and it may not be the best decision for you.
 【小題2】Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always. A solid technical or business school application can give you an advantage as well, and if the environment seems like a better one for you than a traditional college campus, this might be your best choice. A lot of people lead successful lives with a high school education and years of work experience.
The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families. 【小題3】In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense. 【小題4】
 【小題5】 Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.

A．Is going to college always the best choice for high school graduates?

B．Spend some time considering your choices before sending in your applications.

C．Besides, it’s quite possible that going to college is not the right choice for you.

D．During this time, the student can take a few inexpensive classes at a community college.

E. So students take massive amounts of loans, which can take decades to pay off.
F. Many young people have other choices, like military service, work experience,

G.The transition from high school to college is an emotional challenge for almost everybody,
especially if you move away from home.

Answer 1

【小題1】F
【小題2】C
【小題3】E
【小題4】D
【小題5】G

解析試題分析：本文講述的是年輕人讀大學未必就是最好的選擇，以及其它一些需要注意的話題。
【小題1】F 根據(jù)下句So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again.說明我們有很多的選擇，不一定非要讀大學.那么F項的內(nèi)容與之相符，很多的年輕人有別的選擇。
【小題2】C 根據(jù)下一句Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always.說明高等教育并不總是有優(yōu)勢，故C項上大學不一定是正確的選擇，符合上下文的語境。
【小題3】E 根據(jù)上一句The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families.說明讀大學的費用很高，學生要貸款很多要花很多年的時間來還這些貸款。
【小題4】D 根據(jù)上句In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense.推遲1,2年，讓學生能掙到一些錢再去讀大學，在這段時間里學生可以參加另外的一些不是很昂貴的課程。故D項正確。
【小題5】G 根據(jù)下一句Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.說明高中到大學的轉(zhuǎn)化對學生來說是一個挑戰(zhàn)，故G項正確。
