Question

2．Americans use the term"college students"to mean students either in colleges or universities．Not only that，Americans almost never say"going off to university"or"when I was in university．"That sounds British．（71）GCollege，university：what's the difference？（72）F．Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences，for example．And both can help prepare young people to earn a living．
But many colleges do not offer graduate studies．Another difference is that universities are generally bigger．（73）D
Another place of higher education，especially in technical areas，is an institute，like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology．Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities．
Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages．The word"university"came from the Latin universities，describing a group of people organized for a common purpose．
（74）C．In England，colleges were formed to provide students with places to live．Usually each group was studying the same thing．So college came to mean an area of study．
The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college．This is still true．（75）B．For example，Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University．
Programs in higher learning can also be called schools，like a school of engineering or a medical school within a college or university．You know，learning all these terms is an education in itself．

A．There are more universities than colleges in the USA．
B．A college can also be a part of a university．
C．"College"came from collegium，a Latin word with a similar meaning．
D．They offer more programs and do more research．
E．Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities．
F．Colleges and universities have many things in common．
G．Instead，they say"going off to college"and"when I was in college．"

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了在美國大學(xué)和學(xué)院的區(qū)別和共同之處，幫助讀者了解美國的大學(xué)．

解答 72．G．考查上下文的語境理解及邏輯推理．根據(jù)上文Americans almost never say"going off to university"or"when I was in university．"可知，美國人幾乎不說"going off to university"or"when I was in university．"但是他們說，"going off to college"and"when I was in college．"．這是邏輯的銜接．不說…而說…；故選G．
73．F．考查上下文的語境理解及邏輯推理．根據(jù)后文Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences，for example．And both can help prepare young people to earn a living．可知，談得是學(xué)院和大學(xué)兩者的共同點．故選F．
74．D．考查上下文的語境理解及邏輯推理．根據(jù)前文But many colleges do not offer graduate studies．可知，college不提供進一步學(xué)習(xí)．而universities則提供更多的課程和研究．故選D．
75．C．考查上下文的語境理解及邏輯推理．根據(jù)前文The word"university"came from the Latin universities，describing a group of people organized for a common purpose．可知，前后對應(yīng)都說各自的來源，即"大學(xué)"來自學(xué)院，一個類似含義的拉丁語單詞．故選C．
76．B．考查上下文的語境理解及邏輯推理．根據(jù)后文的For example，Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University．可知學(xué)院也可以是大學(xué)的一部分；故選B．

點評 考察學(xué)生的推理判斷能力和聯(lián)系上下文的能力，在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．此類的填空題一定要聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容加上自己的理解，再作出正確的判斷．
