Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【解析】

本文為一篇應(yīng)用文。文章為一封學(xué)生被學(xué)院錄取后，大學(xué)通知書對(duì)于學(xué)校相關(guān)信息的介紹。

【1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段“Congratulations! You have been admitted to the University of Minnesota (U of M) Twin Cities.” 可知，恭喜你!你被明尼蘇達(dá)雙城大學(xué)錄取了。表明這封信是一封入學(xué)通知書，結(jié)合下文對(duì)于學(xué)校相關(guān)信息的介紹可知，這里的golden gopher 指的是大一新生。故選A項(xiàng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Discover unique opportunities中“Your knowledge and talents can shine in one of our 900+ student organizations.”可知，學(xué)校提供了900個(gè)以上的學(xué)生組織，學(xué)校有許多俱樂部為學(xué)生提供活動(dòng)。因此，選擇U of M 的好處是這里有許多俱樂部為學(xué)生提供各種各樣的活動(dòng)。故選B項(xiàng)。
