  Today, widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year. After all, if everyone you know is going to college in the fall, it seems silly to stay back a year, doesn't it? And after going to school for 12 years, it doesn't feel natural to spend a year doing something that isn't academic.

  But while this may be true, it's not a good enough reason to condemn gap years. There's always a constant fear of falling behind everyone else on the socially perpetuated "race to the finish line," whether that be toward graduate school, medical school or lucrative career. But despite common misconceptions, a gap year does not hinder the success of academic pursuits-in fact, it probably enhances it.

  Studies from the United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not. Rather than pulling students back, a gap year pushes them ahead by preparing them for independence, new responsibilities and environmental changes-all things that first-year students often struggle with the most. Gap year experiences can lessen the blow when it comes to adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environment, making it easier to focus on academics and activities rather than acclimation blunders.

  If you're not convinced of the inherent value in taking a year off to explore interests, then consider its financial impact on future academic choices. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly 80 percent of college students end up changing their majors at least once. This isn’t surprising, considering the basic mandatory high school curriculum leaves students with a poor understanding of themselves listing one major on their college applications, but switching to another after taking college classes. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but depending on the school, it can be costly to make up credits after switching too late in the game. At Boston College, for example, you would have to complete an extra year were you to switch to the nursing school from another department. Taking a gap year to figure things out initially can help prevent stress and save money later on.

  31.【题干】One of the reasons for high-school graduates not taking a gap year is that_____.

  【选项】

  A.they think it academically misleading

  B.they have a lot of fun to expect in college

  C.it feels strange to do differently from others

  D.it seems worthless to take off-campus courses

  【答案】C

  【解析】题目问的是高中毕业生不选择间隔年原因之一是什么。根据题目中的high-school和gap year和定位到第一段第一句话。这句话后面一句的after all可以知道后面应该是解释理由了,After all, if everyone you know is going to college in the fall, it seems silly to stay back a year, doesn't it?这句话是说如果大家秋天都上大学去了,你要是晚了一年看起来有点傻。这个句子等同于C选项中的feel strange to do differently from others,因此选C。 点击预约 逐题权威视频解析

  32.【题干】Studies from the US and Australia imply that taking a gap year helps_____.

  【选项】

  A.keep students from being unrealistic

  B.lower risks in choosing careers

  C.ease freshmen's financial burdens

  D.relieve freshmen of pressures

  【答案】D

  【解析】根据题目中的study from the Australia and US可以定位到第三段第一句话Studies from the United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not.。这句话明确说了有间隔年的学生比没有的要好,好在准备和表现上。所以A:unrealistic和B:choosing career不对。第二句在表现好的更细致地方面进行了描述:preparing them for independence独立性, new responsibilities责任感 and environmental changes环境变化。紧随的破折号后总结说了这是 first-year students一年级学生 often struggle with the most常常有苦恼的。说明最受益的是大学一年级学生,而整段都没提过financial burdens,所以C不对。而D中的pressure是对前面内容的概括性描述,因此答案是D。 点击预约 逐题权威视频解析

  33.【题干】The word "acclimation" (Line 8, Para. 3) is closest in meaning to_____.

  【选项】

  A.adaptation

  B.application

  C.motivation

  D.competition

  【答案】A

  【解析】这题根据题干中给的信息,到第三段最后一句中去找答案,Gap year experiences can...when it comes to adjusting to college..., making it easier to...rather than acclimation blunders.这个句子分两部分,逗号+making分词作状语,从功能上是解释补充说明前面半句,所以间隔年的好处是能帮助新生调节适应大学,而不用担心acclimation 问题,所以acclimation当然就是适应的意思了。因此A为正确答案。 点击预约 逐题权威视频解析

  34.【题干】A gap year may save money for students by helping them_____.

  【选项】

  A.avoid academic failures

  B.establish long-term goals

  C.switch to another college

  D.decide on the right major

  【答案】D

  【解析】文章最后一段第一句提到了consider its financial impact on future academic choices。Financial 对应题干中的save money,而academic choices学术选择可以排除A和B。根据最后一段第三句...students...listing one major on their college applications, but switching to another after taking college classes.所以第一句中的academic choices指的就是转专业的事儿,因此选D。 点击预约 逐题权威视频解析

  【选项】

  【答案】A

  【解析】第二段第一句话But while this may be true, it's not a good enough reason to condemn gap years.就用but句说明了全文就是想说间隔年你值得拥有。而选项中只有A选项in favor of是持正面积极态度的,因此选A。点击预约 逐题权威视频解析
