Question

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项.

Are You Ready for College?

Before you send in your college applications, keep this in mind: it’s not the norm (准则) in every culture for students to go to college right out of high school.

 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.

 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. 3.In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense. 4.

 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,

community service or travel.

G.The transition from high school to college is an emotional challenge for almost everybody,

especially if you move away from home.

【答案】

1.F

2.C

3.E

4.D

5.G

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述的是年轻人读大学未必就是最好的选择，以及其它一些需要注意的话题。

1.F 根据下句So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again.说明我们有很多的选择，不一定非要读大学.那么F项的内容与之相符，很多的年轻人有别的选择。

2.C 根据下一句Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always.说明高等教育并不总是有优势，故C项上大学不一定是正确的选择，符合上下文的语境。

3.E 根据上一句The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families.说明读大学的费用很高，学生要贷款很多要花很多年的时间来还这些贷款。

4.D 根据上句In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense.推迟1,2年，让学生能挣到一些钱再去读大学，在这段时间里学生可以参加另外的一些不是很昂贵的课程。故D项正确。

5.G 根据下一句Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.说明高中到大学的转化对学生来说是一个挑战，故G项正确。
