第2题:

Text 2 For years,studies have found that first-generation college students—those who do not havea parent with a college degree—lag other students on a range of education achievement factors.Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher.But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education,colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them.This has created“a paradox”in that recruiting first-generation students,but then watching many of them fail,means that higher education has“continued to reproduce and widen,rather than close”an achievement gap based on social class,according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journalPsychological Science.But the article is actually quite optimistic,as it outlines a potential solution to this problem,suggesting that an approach(which involves a one-hour,next-to-no-cost program)can close 63 percent of the achievement gap(measured by such factors as grades)between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities,and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students(who completed the project)at an unnamed private university.First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree.Most of the first-generation students(59.1 percent)were recipients of Pell Grants,a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need,while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with a four-year degree.Their thesis—that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact—was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students.They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first-generation students“struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education,learn the‘rules of the game,’and take advantage of college resources,”they write.And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don’t talk about the class advantages and disadvantages of different groups of students.“Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students’educational experiences,many first-generation students lack sight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students‘like them’can improve.”We may infer from the last paragraph that_____

A.universities often reject the culture of the middleclass
B.students are usually to blame for their lack of resources
C.social class greatly helps enrich educational experiences
D.colleges are partly res

答案:D
解析:
推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭推理题。本题主要考查考生有效辨别段落核心信息,进行适度推理的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键词“infer from the last paragraph”定位到最后一段。本题是段落推理题,可以通过寻找段落中心句的方式来解。本段共三句:第一句和第二句是并列关系,均提出“初代”学生中存在的与社会阶层有关的问题。第三句以一个“because”所引导的原因状语从句点明中心,明确该问题的来源是美国高校未承认社会阶层对学生教育经历的影响,说明高校应该为出现的问题担负部分责任。因此D项正确。【干扰排除】A项、B项、C项在此段并未提及,属于无中生有,故排除。

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap,a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience,while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually,the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.

One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life styles. In more traditional societies,when children grow up,they are expected to live in the same area as their parents,to marry people that their parents know and approve of,and often to continue the family occupation. In our society,young people often travel great distances for their educations,move out of the family home at an early age,marry-or live with-people whom their parents have never met,and choose occupations different from those of their parents.

In our upwardly mobile society,parents often expect their children to do better than they did:to find better jobs,to make more money,and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often,however,the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often,they discover that they have very little in common with each other.

Finally,the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture,elderly people are valued for their wisdom,but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds,separated by different skills and abilities.

No doubt,the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society,and in the rapid pace at which society changes.

The main idea of the first paragraph is that______.

A. the generation gap suddenly appeared

B. the generation gap is a feature of American life

C. how people can reduce the generation gap

D. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap


正确答案:B
[解析] 本文第一段讲述了大人们与孩子相互抱怨、相互指责,代沟已经成了当今社会的一种组成。

The word"around"in Paragraph 1 means______.
A:on all sides
B:in every direction
C:near
D:in existence

答案:D
解析:
文章第一段主要讲述了美国社会中所存在的代沟问题:父母抱怨孩子们不够尊敬和服从他们;孩子们抱怨父母不理解他们。实际上,该问题已经存在了很长一段时间。评论家认为代沟已经成为美国社会结构的一部分。由此可见,代沟是美国的一种特征。因此B为正确答案。
由文章第一段倒数第二句话可知,代沟问题已经存在了很长时间。around在此处意思是“存在”,与in existence(存在)意思相近。因此D为正确答案。
文章从三方面讲述了代沟形成的原因。由第二段第一句话可知,形成代沟的一个重要原因是年轻人必须选择自己的生活方式;由第三段第一句话可知,父母对孩子期望过高也是代沟形成的一个原因;由第四段第一句话可知,社会的快速变化也是导致代沟形成的原因。而文中并未提到现代教育使得孩子与父母想法不同的问题。因此D为正确答案。
由文章第三段最后一句话可知,父母和孩子会发现彼此之间几乎没有相似之处。因此D为正确答案。
文章主要讲的是美国社会中所存在的代沟问题及其形成的原因,并没有提到如何解决这一问题,因此排除A.B选项;而D项(美国社会应该避免代沟问题)文中也未提及.由文章第三段可知,父母对孩子期望过高也是形成代沟的原因。因此C为正确答案。

Recruiting more first generation students has____

A.reduced their dropout rates
B.narrowed the achievement gap
C.missed its original purpose
D.depressed college students

答案:C
解析:
细节题【命题思路】这是一道细节题。主要考查考生准确理解题干,精准定位,并能正确划分和掌握定位信息的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键词“recruiting more firstgeneration students”定位到第一段的第四句。But后内容为解题关键。本句指出在招录“初代”大学生时出现的困境及产生的不良结果,即“不断产生和扩大成就差距,而不是缩小差距”。由此证明背离了初衷。比对四个选项,确定最佳选项为C项。【干扰排除】A项与原文的“their dropout rates are higher”矛盾,属于反向干扰,故排除。B项也是反向干扰,与原文的“rather than close”矛盾。C项属于张冠李戴,原文中的depressing是用来修饰the paper,而非大学生,故排除。
