Question

【題目】What are some of your favorite memories of the University?

In preparation for each fall’s 50th reunion members of the milestone class are asked to recall campus memories for an annual Memory Book.

Here’s a small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969.

Phyllis Jo Baunach

“…I cannot forget the endless hours studying, researching, and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks. We did everything by hand! But the joys of ideas coming to life and understanding thorny concepts are priceless.

Additionally, I cannot forget the joyful hours of Co-Kast rehearsals for student-written-and-directed plays, and the thrill of audiences’ responses to our efforts. Nor will I ever forget taking voice lessons at the Eastman School of Music. This course gave me confidence to try new musical approaches and to think on my feet.”

Paul Boehm

“…many sweet and lasting memories-five feet of deep snow, getting stranded on the Thruway, music at Hylie Morris’s Alley, and, of course, I met my wife of 48 years, Eller Blazer Boehm from the Class of 1972, when she was a freshman and I was a senior. As a five-year chemical engineering major, I had one elective to spare, and Ellen said, ‘How about oceanography?’ So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi (the famous climate scientist), which awakened my environmental juices, and changed my professional direction.”

Farel Vella McClure

“…I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester. In fact. I loved it so much that I stayed an extra year to get a master’s degree! I was very fortunate to have been totally immersed in student life on campus. My memories include campaigning and winning a seat on the student government during my freshman year. Other memories include the Susan B. Anthony banquet, and sleeping in the comfy chairs in the library. I was also privileged to be selected as a student representative on the design team for the new Wilson Commons. I. M. Pei, the famous architect who designed the Louvre Pyramid, was the architect for Wilson Commons. We even visited his offices in New York to see the ‘master’ at work.”

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。里程碑班里的三位成員講述了自己大學(xué)中最美好的記憶。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第5段So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi (the famous climate scientist), which awakened my environmental juices, and changed my professional direction.(于是，我跟隨著名的氣候?qū)W家高橋太郎博士學(xué)習(xí)海洋學(xué)，喚醒了我的環(huán)境果汁，改變了我的專業(yè)方向)可知，Paul Boehm發(fā)現(xiàn)了他對(duì)海洋科學(xué)的興趣。故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章最后一段Other memories include the Susan B. Anthony banquet, and sleeping in the comfy chairs in the library.(其他的記憶包括Susan B. Anthony宴會(huì)，在圖書(shū)館comfy椅子上睡覺(jué))可知，此處應(yīng)該指在圖書(shū)館舒適的椅子上睡覺(jué)。由此推知，劃線詞comfy意為“舒適的”，而comfortable譯為“舒適的，舒服的”。故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第2段Here’s a small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969.(這里精選了一些1969屆畢業(yè)生的記憶)，第3段I cannot forget the endless hours studying, researching, and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks.(我無(wú)法忘記在堆在發(fā)霉的書(shū)堆中無(wú)休止的學(xué)習(xí)、研究和學(xué)習(xí))，第5段So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi (the famous climate scientist), which awakened my environmental juices, and changed my professional direction.(于是，我跟隨著名的氣候?qū)W家高橋太郎博士學(xué)習(xí)海洋學(xué)，喚醒了我的環(huán)境果汁，改變了我的專業(yè)方向)和最后一段I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester.(我真的很喜歡我在羅切斯特大學(xué)的四年本科生活)可推出，三個(gè)人都在講他們大學(xué)的學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷。故選C項(xiàng)。

在高考中，細(xì)節(jié)理解題為�？碱}型。集中考查文中細(xì)節(jié)，在做此類(lèi)型題時(shí)，可以先從問(wèn)題中找到關(guān)鍵詞，然后以此為線索，運(yùn)用略讀等技巧在文中找到這一細(xì)節(jié)，把這部分內(nèi)容仔細(xì)閱讀，比較所給選項(xiàng)，選出正確答案。如在第1小題中，分析問(wèn)題，得到關(guān)鍵詞Paul Boehm，迅速定位到文章第5段，根本段中的So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi (the famous climate scientist), which awakened my environmental juices, and changed my professional direction.(于是，我跟隨著名的氣候?qū)W家高橋太郎博士學(xué)習(xí)海洋學(xué)，喚醒了我的環(huán)境果汁，改變了我的專業(yè)方向)可知，Paul Boehm發(fā)現(xiàn)了他對(duì)海洋科學(xué)的興趣。故選D項(xiàng)。
