wonder，whats the point of it all？This is an important question to ask yourself.College is a huge investment，not only of money，but also of 24 years of your life.No one should attend college without a very good reason.2Some people go to college to earn more money.On average，people who obtain a Bachelors degree will earn more than 1 million dollars more over the course of their lifetimes than people who dont attend college.Those who go for Masters，Doctors，and professional degrees do even better.Holders of these degrees are suited to many high paying jobs while_.3Some go for the experiences.College is an amazing life experience.Students not only receive a traditional classroom education，but also learn a large amount about the ways of the world.For many students，college is the first time they live away from home.This creates a great opportunity to meet different types of people and have many brand new experiences that can make you a much wiser and worldly person.4Some others seek after a dream.For many people college is great way to start the next step towards achieving a dream.It can help you break into a new career path or achieve expert status in your chosen field.5However，therere also some people going to college because “my parents and family expect me to” or “I dont know what I want to do with my life”If your main reason for going to college is one of these，you should reconsider your motivations seriously.If you go without a true purpose，you can end up finding what you spend on it might never be worth it.1How does the author further explain his point of view？(no more than 10 words)_2Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 5 words)_3How could experiences mentioned in Paragraph 3 change people？(no more than 8 words)_4Why could going to college help the students seek after their dreams？(no more than 20 words)_5What is the main idea of Paragraph 5？(no more than 10 words)_参考答案第一节A 1. 答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知C项正确。 2. 答案：D解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中with the words “Steve Jobs,19552011”可知，这幅黑白照片公示了乔布斯的生卒时间，即宣布了他的逝世。 3. 答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据第三段可知，苹果网站的首页换成了乔布斯的黑白照片，再根据“creative genius，amazing human being，brilliance，passion and energy”等词语可知，苹果公司对乔布斯的贡献给与了极高的评价。 4. 答案：A解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段”.Cook，who has taken the place of his boss during three leaves of absence.”可知，库克将继任苹果公司的掌舵人。 5. 答案：A解析：推理判断题。本文宣布了乔布斯的死讯，以及苹果公司等各方对其逝世的反应和评价，这样的文章应该出现在报纸上，所以答案为A项。B 6. 答案：B解析：主旨大意题。在文章开头作者首先介绍了世界著名的艺术馆，接着引出佛罗里达州的迈阿密国际大学，然后文章详细地介绍了它的电子艺术博物馆，因此 B项正确。 7. 答案：D解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“You just need a puter linked to a telephone.”可知，需要的是和电话连在一起的计算机。 8. 答案：A解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“It is puter art，produced electronically.”可知，这家博物馆里储存的是电子艺术品，是由艺术家通过电脑采用电子手段制作的。 9. 答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“He says he started the museum because puter artists had no place to show their work.”判断，Robert Shostak 开办这家电子艺术博物馆的目的是为艺术家们创造一个展示艺术的天地，因此B项为最佳答案。C项有较大干扰性，从文章最后一段看似乎这一答案正确，然而从第三段看，这家电子艺术博物馆是面对所有的艺术家，而并非只对艺术学生。 10. 答案：D解析：词义猜测题。根据文中最后一段“.artists will enjoy their work much more.”可推断此处的观众是指欣赏艺术品的观众，故选D项。 C11. 答案：D解析：推理判断题。这些书籍包括旅游、园艺、家居、健康等多个方面，所以本文应该是报纸上的广告。 12. 答案：A解析：细节理解题。Off the Beaten Path是一本旅游方面的书籍，标价$30.00，售价$19.80，可计算出节省$10.20。 13. 答案：C解析：推理判断题。1801 Home Remedies是一本关于健康方面的书籍，所以答案为C项。 14. 答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据对第一本书的介绍中的“It focuses on more than 1,000 of the United States most overlooked mustsee destinations.”可知，这1000多个旅游景点都是在美国，而不是全世界。 15. 答案：A解析：主旨大意题。根据内容可知本文为广告，所以目的是想建议读者买书。D16. 答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“The Toyota FunVii is a pleasure palace on wheels.”可知这种新概念车很有乐趣；根据第四段第二句“Inside and out，most aspects of the car can interact(互相作用)with the Internet and be controlled by a smart phone.”可知这种车具有交互作用的特点；根据文章开头“Is it a smart phone？Yes to all three.”和下文的介绍可知这种车很“智能”。但是文章中没有提及这种车速度很快，所以应选C项。 17. 答案：A解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二句“The smart car is a practical，family sized vehicle fuelled by hydrogen.”可知Toyota FunVii是一种新概念车，以氢气作为燃料。 18. 答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第三句“The color inside could also be changed to reflect the owners mood.”可知应选C项。 19. 答案：D解析：主旨大意题。第四段介绍了这种新概念车的大多数部件可以通过互联网相互作用，可以由一部智能电话控制，车主可以下载最新图片改变外观和内饰的颜色等，这些都是这种车的新功能。 20. 答案：C解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“If Toyota has its way，paint jobs could bee a thing of the past.”和第四段关于外观和内饰颜色的改变可知应选C项。第二节1. 答案：By paring some good reasons with some bad ones.2. 答案：nondegree holders/those without
