答案

61---70   DBBAC   ACDBA  

61.从短文的内容可知,现在学生考上大学后有两种选择:一是直接上大学;一是先上一年的“人生大学”。所以要选straight(直接地)。A表示“容易地”;B表示“简单地,仅仅”;C表示“快的”。答案为D。 

62.现在越来越多的学生首先上“人生大学”。注意first和at first的区别:first的意思是“首先”;at first的意思是“在开始时”。last是最后;at last表示“最后,终于”。答案为B。 

63. join="take" part in(参加),例如参加亚马孙热带雨林的探险。participating常与介词in连用,意思是“参与,参加”;attending的意思是“参加(会议)”;expecting的意思是“期望”。答案为B。 

64.broaden的意思是“使扩大”。参加工作的经历可以开阔一个人的视野(horizons)。spread的意思是“散布”;improve的意思是“改善”;raise的意思是“举起”。答案为A。 

65.eventually的意思是“最后的”。先参加工作可以得到挣钱的机会,这对以后上大学会有帮助。hopefully的意思是“有希望地”;willingly的意思是“心甘情愿地”;happily的意思是“高兴地”。答案为C。 

66. hold your place的意思是“为你留着位置”。如果你对休学一年去参加社会实践活动有兴趣,你必须确保学校为你留着位置。leave your place的意思是“离开你的位置”;occupy your place的意思是“占据你的位置”;remain的意思是“剩余”。答案为A。 

67.C表“因为”,这是一个原因状语从句。大多数大学愿意让学生休学一年从事社会活动,因为他们发现这样的学生比较有经验、有信心和有独立性。而however表转折;though表“虽然”,when表时间。答案为C。

68.因为是休学一年的学生与直接上大学的学生进行比较,所以要用形容词的比较级。注意这四个词的用法:less和more放在多音节形容词的前面构成比较级;much和even后接形容词的比较级,可排除。再结合语意可知答案为D。

69.a year off的意思是“脱离大学一年”。“in”表示在里面,与文章意思不符。“through”表示“从空间”。答案为B。

70.do nothing表示“无事可作”,如果一个学生休学一年的目的是什么事也不做,大学是不会满意的。其它三个不定代词与文章意思不符。答案为A。
