语篇解读:Aaron Segura进入公立高中后,学习成绩一直糟糕透顶。后来他转入了职业高中学习建筑设计,从此他找到了自信,不再消沉。
1.根据but,another matter以及后面所说的Aaron的学业一塌糊涂可知,他在高尔夫球方面应很优秀,前后形成对比。C选项后面的介词应为about。
根据后面一句对Aaron功课的描述,可知他的学习是另一回事,即很差劲。
3.根据前文信息his grades were low,可知他的学业分数很低,他几乎要放弃。be close to“接近,靠近”,注意to在此为介词。
4.Aaron并非胸无大志,而是在这样大的、非个性化的公立高中他没有施展的空间。该空需要考生联系全文内容,尤其是Aaron转校前后的变化进行判断。
5.在这所职业高中,学生可以获得许多一对一的关注。
6.根据后文信息His one strong goal...可知,除了个性化关注还有别的事情吸引着他。若选A,空格后面缺介词to。
7.根据本段后文信息an architectural CAD(computer?aided drafting)program和第三段的a draftsman for an architectural firm可知,此处指Aaron想从事建筑行业。
8.attend the school上学。若选A,空格后面缺介词for。
9.find后面跟复合结构。他发现自己对学习很感兴趣。与前文形成对比。
10.根据as a draftsman for an architectural firm可知,他得到了一份工作。
11.他的目标是毕业后专职从事这个行业。take up“从事”。
12.第一段和第三段形成鲜明的对比,Aaron的人生发生了巨大的转变。
13.run“提供,开设(服务、课程等)”,符合语意。早在20世纪90年代中期,Danny Moon就进行过职业教育实践。
14.until“直到……”,符合语境。
15.pass a law通过一部法律。由上文语境可推断政府现在从立法上开始支持职业教育。后文又说“地方官员想知道Moon是否有兴趣开办一所职业学校”,使答案更为明晰。
16.根据介词in可知此处考查be interested in“对……感兴趣”。A项后面的介词通常为about,B、D后常接of。
17.地方官员询问他是否对开办职业学校感兴趣,而Danny Moon一下子就答应了。
18.target“面向,把……作为目标或者对象”。
19.根据students like Aaron和第一段内容可知答案,因为Aaron在公立高中(学习)很吃力。royal“皇家的,庄严的,高贵的”;tough“困难的,费力的”;free“空闲的,不忙的”;short“短暂的”。
20.从而他也能满足整个新墨西哥州急剧上升的对熟练劳动力的需求。此处暗示了职业教育的重要性。
