11.Wrong Reasons for Going to College
A college education can be priceless.(31)A If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision,you're probably right to second-guess yourself.
Because all your friends are going.
In only a few weeks'time,the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleges in a half dozen different places.(32)C Friends will wonder what's wrong with you.
Because someone else expects it from you.
(33)F Or maybe,you're the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there.It seems that for years everyone has just assumed that of course you'll go.It's become so much a part of the air you breathe that you've never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you're ready to go.
Because you don't know what else to do.
It's been tough to find even a summer job.You don't have an alternative plan.Everyone else is doing it.(see above) (34)G That is the lamest(無說服力的) of reasons to spend 20,000or more in the next year.
(35)D
Your uncle tells you that his one regret in life is that he didn't go to college.Others tell you that they could have gone so much farther in their career if only they had a college education.Whatever the story is,there are always people who regret decisions they've made.So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college.

A.But maybe in your heart you know that you are going for the wrong reasons.
B.Because you don't want to work.
C.Not to go will set yourself apart.
D.Because you are afraid you'll regret it if you don't go.
E.Everyone seems more excited than you are.
F.Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college.
G.You think you might as well go to school.

分析 本文說明了4條人們讀大學(xué)的錯誤理由,告訴我們要根據(jù)自己的實際情況來決定是否讀大學(xué).

解答 ACFGD
31.A 根據(jù)橫線后一句If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision,you're probably right to second-guess yourself.如果下面的因素中有一個影響到你的決定,你也許就要自我反思了.本文接下來介紹的幾個都是上大學(xué)的錯誤理由.所以說雖然大學(xué)教育是無價的,但你上大學(xué)的理由也可能是錯誤的.故S項符合上下文.
32.C  根據(jù)本段標(biāo)題Because all your friends are going可知本段中提到的錯誤理由是:因為朋友們都去讀大學(xué)了,所以你也要去.根據(jù)橫線前面一句:Not to go will set yourself apart.不去讀大學(xué),你們就會分開.所以有一些人正是因為他們的朋友去讀了大學(xué),所以他也要去讀大學(xué).這就是一些人讀上學(xué)的錯誤的理由.故C正確.
33.F 根據(jù)橫線前兩句Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college.Or maybe,you're the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there可知家庭里每個人都去讀了大學(xué),或者大家都為你自豪,認(rèn)為你是家里第一個應(yīng)該讀大學(xué)的人.這樣一來似乎仍然都認(rèn)為你當(dāng)然應(yīng)該去讀大學(xué)了,所以你也去讀了大學(xué).這也是一些人讀大學(xué)的理由.故F正確.
34.G  根據(jù)本段前兩句It's been tough to find even a summer job.You don't have an alternative plan.很難找到工作,你又沒有別的事情可做.而且看到其他人都去多大學(xué)了.于是你也去了.說明部分人讀大學(xué)的原因是沒有其他的事情可做,只能隨大流去多大學(xué).故G項正確.
35.D Your uncle tells???only they had a college education.你的叔叔告訴你他很遺憾沒有讀大學(xué),其他人會告訴你,如果他讀了大學(xué)會生活得更好.但是無論什么情況,總有一些后悔自己做出的決定的人,也就是說生活中總有一些讓人后悔的事情.故D項正確.

點評 做七選五題目時要注意以下規(guī)則:1.放進去通順,這一點是基礎(chǔ).凡不通順的必錯無疑; 2、選項中有單詞、詞組、句子成分或與所選答案所在段內(nèi)容重合;3、選項與其上句或下句之間有必然的邏輯關(guān)系; 4、選項全部內(nèi)容都屬于正確答案所在段.有時備選答案中可能含有甲乙兩項內(nèi)容,這時,只有當(dāng)甲和乙都歸屬于本段時,答案才是正確的.

Many of us feel somehow nervous whenever we are taking an important exam.Nervousness not only does a harm to our healthy but also disturbs our study.But it's necessary for us students to learn to relaxing.I think it's very important to have a right attitude of exams.Exams are only a means of checking that we have learned.Therefore,it is no need to worry too much about the results.Before an exam,making a scientific study plan and keep a peaceful mind can help to reduce the pressure from the exams.We can also relax themselves by doing sports and listening music.Besides,enough sleep and a balanced diet will work as well.
