And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high scho

2、ol students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education. One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelors degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But

3、 theres a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a three-year degree model. I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly q

4、ualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly throw out one quarter of the required

5、credits. Professors will resist diluting (稀释) the quality of the education they offer. In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in f

6、ields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than its not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We s

7、hould allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.（1）Which of the following can best sum up

8、the main idea?

11、cost of a university education is too high for people to affordC.the author considers the university education quality very importantD.the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者认为把大学四年的学制缩短为三年不是一个好主意，保证足够的时间才能保证大学教育的质量。

12、 （1）考查主旨大意。根据第二段中的“Few US universities have formally approved a three-year degree model.”很少有美国大学正式批准“三年学位”模式；以及最后一段中的“In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education.”在我看来，优质的四年教育总是优于优质的三年教育。可推断，文章作者认为把大学四年的学制缩短为三年不是一个好主意，学好大学功课是需要付出时间的，所以这篇文章的中心思想是“

13、最好的学习是随着时间的推移而进行的。”，故选B。 （2）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Few US universities have formally approved a three-year degree model.”美国很少有大学正式批准“三年制学位”模式。由此推断出，大多数美国大学反对“三年制学位”模式，故选A。 （3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain c

14、lasses and obtaining a number of college credits.”一方面，大多数大学已经允许合格的学生通过某些课程的考试和获得一些大学学分提前毕业。可知，特别优秀的大学生可以提前毕业。故选D。 （4）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major.”大学教育要求学生有足够的时间掌握专业技能，并在专业以外

15、的领域学习课程；以及“It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than its not a good idea to water down medicine.”削弱教育不是个好主意，就像削弱医学不是个好主意一样。可知作者非常看重大学教育质量。故选C。 【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，概括归纳，从而选出正确答案。2阅读理解 We talk a lot in the U.S. about success.

16、 the dream and the end point. And not by coincidence the idea that hard work leads to personal success is as American as apple pie. But the reality is that sometimes we fail.

18、 I actually caught myself thinking I could work my way out of my cancer. As it turns out, cancer doesnt really care about ones work.

19、 longer than they would have even a decade ago. These are achievements worth celebrating. And yet I wonder if the focus on success is sometimes misguided here as well. If it is one reason why we tend to pursue expensive end-of-life treatments, they often accomplish little other than to make a patien

20、ts final days painful and frightening. The fact is that, when asked, many patients would rather focus on living meaningfully in their final days. My hope here is to make a case for thinking about meaning, in the same way we think about pursuing success. In that spirit, Ive asked several people, each

Home has become

27、 more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more complicated than that. This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new y

29、ct with the friends that makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no

30、 internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again. This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. I

31、t was different, but one thing stayed very much the same-I felt at home again and we felt like a family again. A lot of people feel that New Years Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the New Years kiss and resolutions create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a n

32、ight that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living. I think those people are missing the point.

36、意思是家比这更复杂。It指代上文提到的“家”，故选C。 （2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“I do not care aboutNew Years resolutionsliving abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I dont feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.”我不在乎“新年愿望”在国外生活让我不断地重新考虑我想成为什么样的人，我将如何生活，

37、所以我觉得没有必要为改变做计划：我为改变而活。由此可知，作者不在乎“新年愿望”是因为他的生活方式使他时刻准备着改变，故选B。 （3）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.在乡村的中心，远离我们不断变化的大生活，我们又能像一个小家庭了；以及第四段中的“It was different, but one thing stayed very mu

38、ch the same-I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.”这是不同的，但有一件事是非常相同的我感觉像回到了家，我们感觉像一个家庭。由此推断出，作者试图通过他在爱尔兰和巴塞罗那的经历表达和朋友呆在一起让人有回家的感觉，故选C。 （4）考查主旨大意。第三段中的“New Years Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends that makes me feel at home.”除夕已经成为我和朋友们重新联系的时间，这让我感到宾至如归。是全文的主题句，结合全文内容
