Question

【題目】

Who Can Apply

*First-year fall applicants

*Transfer students through the transfer admission process

How to Apply

For each class, we bring together a varied mix of high-achieving, intellectually gifted students from diverse backgrounds to create an exceptional learning community.

We care about what students have accomplished in and out of the classroom. The process is highly selective. In recent years, we’ve offered admission to less than 7 percent of applicants.

As you prepare your application, help us to appreciate your talents, academic accomplishments and personal achievements. We’ll ask for your transcript (成績單) and recommendations, and we will want to know more than just the statistics in your file. Tell us your story. Show us what’s special about you. Tell us how you would seize the academic and nonacademic opportunities at Princeton and contribute to the Princeton community. Above all, please write in a style that reflects your own voice.

Princeton accepts the Coalition Application and Common Application. Princeton treats them all equally. To apply, you will need to submit online either the Coalition Application or the Common Application, plus the Princeton Supplement.

When to Apply

You have two choices for applying to Princeton for first-year admission—single-choice early action or regular decision. Before you begin preparing your application, we strongly encourage you to review our standardized testing policy, which includes detailed information regarding our standardized testing requirements.

*Single-choice Early Action, also known as restrictive early action (If you have thoroughly researched your college options and have decided that Princeton is your first choice)

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【解析】

這是一篇應(yīng)用文，是有關(guān)普林斯頓大學入學申請須知的網(wǎng)頁內(nèi)容顯示。

【1】

細節(jié)理解題。在How to Apply項目的第三段中，由“We’ll ask for your transcript (成績單) and recommendations, and we will want to know more than just the statistics in your file.”可知，校方要求申請者提供成績單和推薦信，而且想要了解除了檔案中的這部分數(shù)據(jù)之外更多的關(guān)于申請者的信息。即，申請者提供有關(guān)學業(yè)成就的數(shù)據(jù)是基本要求之一。故選C。

【2】

細節(jié)理解題。從How to Apply項目的第二段的最后一句“In recent years, we’ve offered admission to less than 7 percent of applicants.”可知，最近幾年，Princeton錄取的學生不到申請者的7%。也就是說，被Princeton錄取的幾率是相對較低的，因此選C。

在做細節(jié)理解題的時候，根據(jù)題干，準確地到原文中進行信息定位非常重要。例如第一小題，題干問我們申請普林斯頓大學的時候需要哪些東西，根據(jù)這個問題可迅速定位到“How to Apply”這一項。然后根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞application，進一步定位到這部分的第三段，細讀該段一二兩句話，即可得出答案：顯示申請者學業(yè)成就的成績數(shù)據(jù)是必不可少的。
