Students should look for activities they are passionate about and can participate in fully.These activities dont need to be tied to a particular academic interest either.Students shouldnt limit themselves to only one activity, but there should be some depth and breadth to the activities.Longevity (持久) is important too.When writing applications, students should focus on the activities that will help them stand out.2Does the activity help the community? Sometimes admissions officers at college want to see that applicants are motivated not just by improving themselves but their communities too through activities.Students dont necessarily have to participate in a service trip abroad to show this, Riley says.It could be something small that shows students attempt to make a positive impact on the world.3What is the students motivation for the activity? Admissions officers read hundreds if not thousands of applications a year and can tell if students arent being authentic and are just participating in activities because they think it will build their resume (个人简历) for college, says Riley.Students should have an authentic interest in the activities they join.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。如今，高中生选择课外活动时应考虑大学招生录取方面的因素。同时，作者也提供了一些选择课外活动的建议。12Why are high school football programs mentioned in the first paragraph?ATo show the benefits of extracurricular activities.BTo stress the importance of safety in activities.CTo describe some common kinds of activities.DTo introduce the topic for discussion.解析：选D推理判断题。根据文章第一段的内容，尤其是“Decreased football programs may .the activities they join in could hold weight during the admissions process”可知，作者提及高中足球活动是为了引出下文要讨论的主题。故选D。13What does the author say about students extracurricular involvement?AIt should be helpful in showing their personality.BIt can make a difference to their college application.CIt should be centered on students selfimprovement.DIt should be beneficial to their academic improvement.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句及第二段中的“We are not looking at just the students academic records, although thats obviously important”和“Generally, were looking for students who will contribute to university life beyond the classroom”可知，高中生所参加的课外活动在其申请大学时有一定的影响。大学在录取学生时不仅看他们的学习成绩，还关注他们在教室之外能给大学作出什么样的贡献。由此可知，学生参与课外活动会对其大学申请产生影响。故选B。14Which can replace the underlined word “passionate” in Paragraph 4?ACrazy. BCurious.CCautious. DHappy.解析：选A词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Is the student interested in the activity”可知，本段主要强调的是高中生在选择课外活动时要考虑自己是否对要选择的活动感兴趣。由此可推知，画线词所在句指的是学生应该选择他们很感兴趣且会完全参与其中的活动。passionate的意思应是“狂热的”，与crazy的意思相近。故选A。15What is the passage mainly about?AHigh school students are looking for new activities.BWhether high school football programs should be cut.CWhy extracurricular activities pay off with college admission.DPotential college students should attach importance to afterschool activities.解析：选D主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，大学在招生的时候，对学生参与课外活动的情况很看重，因此未来的大学生(高中生)应重视课外活动。故D项最能概括本文的主要内容。.阅读七选五(2019贵阳监测)Reading is an interesting and useful thing.
