5.The day I got accepted into NYU,I was too excited to fall asleep.All of my hard work had finally paid off.I wanted to become a filmmaker,so NYU Tisch was basically the best thing that could have happened to me.
But I turned it down.
It all started when I took a gap year.I was offered the opportunity to study abroad in a gap year program,so NYU was on hold and I set sail for my year off.When I returned home,nothing felt the same.
First of all,I started to realize that my dream might not be worth the cost.NYU is expensive.Did I really want to take on such severe debt just for a degree in film?
In February of 2014,I formally withdrew my acceptance from NYU and started the college application process all over again.
Luckily,I was accepted to a few small art schools closer to home.So,here I am today,studying English at a college in a quiet town by the beach.
This school is definitely less challenging than a more elite (精英) school would have been,but The New York Times argues that that can work to my advantage.I'm more likely to graduate at the top of my class in this environment,thus leading to more job opportunities in the future.
I won't say that I don't think about what my life would have been like at NYU.I do.All the time.Sometimes with sadness,but never with regret.
So don't be afraid to change your mind.There's strength in recognizing when something doesn't feel right.Don't believe the view about having to attend the most celebrated college in order to lead a successful life.Studies show that if you're a good student,what school you attend doesn't really matter at all.College is a match to be made,not a prize to be won.

29.Why did the author turn down NYU?D
A.He wanted to take a gap year program.
B.He didn't like the major he had chosen.
C.He decided to work rather than go to college.
D.He felt attending NYU wouldn't be worth the debt.
30.What did the author major in at last?C
A.Environmental protection.
B.Film making.
C.Language.
D.Art.
31.What might be the author's; opinion?C
A.Good students should attend a good university.
B.Only famous schools can give you a better future.
C.The best university is not necessarily the best choice.
D.A chance to attend a good university is worth anything.

分析 本文主要講述了作者在收到紐約大學(xué)的錄取通知書(shū)后拒絕以及他對(duì)大學(xué)的選擇的一些觀點(diǎn)和看法.

解答 29.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文中內(nèi)容,F(xiàn)irst of all,I started to realize that my dream might not be worth the cost.NYU is expensive.Did I really want to take on such severe debt just for a degree in film?作者意識(shí)到到紐約大學(xué)讀電影系會(huì)花費(fèi)太高的學(xué)費(fèi),而那是作者承受不了的,結(jié)合選項(xiàng),故選D
30.C 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文中內(nèi)容,So,here I am today,studying English at a college in a quiet town by the beach.后來(lái)作者在一個(gè)離家很近的學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ),結(jié)合選項(xiàng),故C正確,學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言學(xué)
31.C 作者觀點(diǎn)題.根據(jù)文中內(nèi)容,Don't believe the view about having to attend the most celebrated college in order to lead a successful life.Studies show that if you're a good student,what school you attend doesn't really matter at all.College is a match to be made,not a prize to be won.不要認(rèn)為上了一所好的大學(xué),你就會(huì)過(guò)成功的生活,成績(jī)只能表明你是一個(gè)好學(xué)生,你上的哪所學(xué)校并不是最重要的,在學(xué)校里學(xué)習(xí)到的做人做事的道理才是最重要的.結(jié)合選項(xiàng),故選C

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一個(gè)日常生活類(lèi)閱讀,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測(cè),一定要做到有理有據(jù).

When I was in the Grade One,I was terrible poor in English.Be sleepy in class was one of the reasons why I rarely did well in school.Once I even failed in a mid-term exam.While I got the papers,I realized that things would be better if I listened to the teacher attentively.My teacher told me,"Yesterday is history.Today is a gift.If you bury you into English now,you'll make it."I can't agree much.From then on,I began to study harder.Out of my expectation,I made great achievement soon.Today,English is which my strength lies.And I'm grateful for my English teacher.
