Question

根據(jù)對(duì)話(huà)情景和內(nèi)容，從對(duì)話(huà)后的選項(xiàng)中選出能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.   1.   

College, university: what’s the difference?   2.  . 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.    3.  

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.  4.  . 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.   5.  . For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.

Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within a college or university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself.

A. A college can also be a part of a university.

B. There are more universities than colleges in the USA.

C. They offer more programs and do more research.

D. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning.

E. Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities.

F. Instead, they say “going off to college” and “when I was in college.”

G. Colleges and universities have many things in common.

試題分析：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了在美國(guó)大學(xué)和學(xué)院的區(qū)別和共同之處。

1.F考查上下文的語(yǔ)境理解及邏輯推理。根據(jù)上文Americans almost never say “going off to university” or “when I was in university. ”可知，美國(guó)人幾乎不說(shuō)“going off to university” or “when I was in university. ”但是他們說(shuō)，“going off to college” and “when I was in college.”。這是邏輯的銜接。不說(shuō)……而說(shuō)……。

2.G考查上下文的語(yǔ)境理解及邏輯推理。根據(jù)后文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)。故選主題句G

3.C考查上下文的語(yǔ)境理解及邏輯推理。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。故選C。

4.D考查上下文的語(yǔ)境理解及邏輯推理。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(duì)應(yīng)都說(shuō)各自的來(lái)源。故選D

5.A考查上下文的語(yǔ)境理解及邏輯推理。根據(jù)后文的For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.可知選A。這是總說(shuō)和分說(shuō)的關(guān)系。

考點(diǎn)：考查學(xué)生對(duì)上下文的語(yǔ)境理解及邏輯推理。
