1."So,what are you doing after graduation?"(71)FHowever,you have to make up your mind as your last high school year begins.Whether your plans include college,heading straight for the workforce,or taking a year off,here are some practical tips to prepare yourself for the journey.
Going to College
Some people know from an early age exactly what they want to be and how they plan to get there.(72)EAccording to a recent survey,75% of students change their majors after they enter college.After all,school is also not just about careers and getting a high-paying job after graduation-it's a place for learning about yourself and the world.
Selecting a School
If college is in your future,you need to plan.Start by asking yourself questions about your preferences.(73)GOnce you've narrowed down your choices,ask the schools to send you literature or visit their websites.
Getting a Job
Maybe you've decided that college isn't for you-right now,anyway.If you want to join the workforce,opportunities are out there for people who don't have degrees.Some products-selling or service industry organizations offer training programs to high school graduates.Search the classified ads in the newspaper and do some Internet research.(74)D
Taking Time Off
What if you intend to go to college but just don't feel ready to start yet,for whatever reason?(75)BThis practice is common in some countries,like the United Kingdom,where it's called a"gap year".Even if you decide not to apply to college,it can be a great idea to take a year to do something you may not have an opportunity to do again.Lots of volunteer organizations would welcome your time and energy and would provide you with a wonderful learning experience.
A.You might want to get a high-paid job first.
B.You might want to take a year off to pause.
C.This is the fact that young people have to take into consideration.
D.Most large companies list their job openings on their websites.
E.Not all of us are so sure of our plans,though,and that's OK too.
F.Many juniors and seniors get bored answering that question over and over.
G.Ask friends in college about their schools and other schools they're familiar with.
分析 短文大意:畢業(yè)以后打算去做什么?這是每一位即將畢業(yè)的學(xué)生都要面臨思考的問題.本文從去上大學(xué)、選擇學(xué)校、找工作、度過間隔年等方面給出了實際可行的建議.
解答 :71-75 FEGDB
71.F 根據(jù)空前提到問題"那么,畢業(yè)以后打算去干什么?"及空后轉(zhuǎn)折連詞however可知,用F項"很多初中生和高中生厭倦了一次又一次回答那個問題"銜接上下文,符合語境.
72.E 根據(jù)空前句意"很多人從很小年齡就知道他們想要成為什么樣的人以及如何去實現(xiàn)?"判斷,空處填關(guān)于計劃的句子,E項"雖然并不是所有的人這么確定我們的計劃,這也就很好了."符合語境.
73.G 根據(jù)本段主題關(guān)于選擇學(xué)校,前一句為"開始問一些關(guān)于你喜歡什么樣的學(xué)校的問題"推斷,下句也是講問相關(guān)問題的句子,G項"問一些上大學(xué)的朋友關(guān)于他們學(xué);蛩麄兪煜W(xué)校的問題"銜接上下文,符合語境.
74.D 本段主題是關(guān)于找工作的內(nèi)容,空前提到"do some Internet research"意為"可以在網(wǎng)上搜索",D項"大部分大公司在網(wǎng)上列出他們的職位空缺"順承上句,符合語境.
75.B 本段主題是休假一年,空前句中"…for whatever reason?"意為"若你打算去上大學(xué)但又不想馬上去,無論什么原因?"B項"你可能想要暫停一年"銜接上下文,句意通順,符合語境.
點評 本文屬于閱讀理解里面的閱讀補全類七選五,主要考查我們的前后句意銜接選擇,要求前后句意銜接恰當(dāng),符合行文邏輯即可.關(guān)鍵一、準(zhǔn)確翻譯句子意思.二、恰當(dāng)把握空格前后暗示的含意.三、根據(jù)選項句意及功能確定相關(guān)選項.
