Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
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.
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.
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. 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. For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.
A. A college can also be a part of a university.
B. They offer more programs and do more research.
C. There are more universities than colleges in the USA.
D. Colleges and universities have many things in common.
E. Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities.
F. Instead, they say “going off to college” or “when I was in college.”
G. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning.

Answer 1

【答案】F；D；B；G；A
【解析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了在美國大學(xué)和學(xué)院的區(qū)別和共同之處。
（1）考查上下文理解題。根據(jù)上文"Americans almost never say 'oing 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……�？芍狥項(xiàng)符合上下文。判斷選F項(xiàng)。
（2）考查上下文理解題。根據(jù)下文Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.可知，談得是兩者的共同點(diǎn)。與D項(xiàng)吻合�？芍�選D。
（3）考查上下文理解題。根據(jù)前文But many colleges do not offer graduate studies.可知，college不提供進(jìn)一步學(xué)習(xí)。而universities則提供更多的課程和研究。可知這里B項(xiàng)符合上下文。故選B項(xiàng)。
（4）考查上下文理解題。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。故G項(xiàng)符合上下文。故選G。
（5）考查上下文理解題。根據(jù)下文的For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.可知這是總說和分說的關(guān)系。說明A項(xiàng)符合上下文。故選A。
