The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too. This isn39。t a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and onefifth of students work year round. About onequarter of those who work while attending school have both a fullcourse load and a fulltime job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (學費) and living costs, obviously. And there39。s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with alreadydeveloped skill sets, onthejob training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on. But it39。s not all upside. Even fulltime work may not pletely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a fulltime job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they39。re sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes. There is little reward for attending but not finishing college Students who end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn39。t gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.（1）According to the passage, the reality of college students is that ________. throw parties a lot stay up late every night work besides attending classes pay no attention to exams（2）What is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students? need of developing social networks. lack of summer jobs for young adults. chance of finding a job after graduation. expenses of high tuition and living costs.（3）We can learn from the passage that _________. students are more likely to finish college can cover their college expenses through working receive a huge reward for managing work and class while attending school may not help students get career benefits（4）What is the best title for the passage? Difficulties of Landing a Job Struggle of WorkSchool Balance Reward of Working While Studying Images of Working College Students【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，講述大學生在校期間學習和工作平衡的利與弊。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“In colleges around the country, most students are also colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.”可知，在大學里面，多數(shù)的學生也是工人。他們既要忙于學習和參加活動又要忙著工作。故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“With many employers looking for students with alreadydeveloped skill sets, onthejob training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on.”可知，很多老板聘用具備成熟技能的學生，大學期間的工作培訓可能是以后找工作的最好方法。這是大學生參加工作的間接原因，故選C。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.”在校期間工作太多可能對學生的財務和職業(yè)發(fā)展并無益處。故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。縱觀全文可知，本文講述大學生在校期間工作均衡的利與弊。The Struggle of WorkSchool Balance“在校期間學習工作平衡的沖突”概括了全文內(nèi)容，適合作為標題。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 Speaking of childrenwhat child doesn39。t like to jump around and act silly sometimes? Monkeys are also known for acting silly. So, when kids act up, parents or teachers may tell them to stop monkeying around. It means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time. Now, in the United States, children do not usually have monkeys as pets, but they do often have dogs. And dogs make most children feel happy. But for some reason, we use dog in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are as sick as a dog, you are really sick and will most likely stay home from work or school. Besides, dogs and cats are also favorite pets here in the States. This next phrase bines cats and secrets to make a very mon expression. Let39。s say you know a secret, a big secret. And let39。s say you tell it to people. You have just l
