But when one looks at just what “going on to college“ means nowadays and what it will mean a couple of years from now we might do we

13、ll to restrain our applause. In fact, it seemed to me that many of our staff endeavor to send as many warm bodies as they could on to higher education regardless of whether the students had the skills or motivation to do elementary high school work. High schools like mine, always eager for good pres

14、s, can boast that they have prepared an ever greater percentage of their charges to move on to the halls of academe. And though colleges blame us in the high schools for sending them kids who are totally unprepared, they casually pocket the tuition from such students lest they have to downsize and l

15、ay off professors and administrators. While T. C. Williams boasts about the 80% going on to college, it makes no effort to track what happens to these kids.

Yet too often today, no period is left unstructured. After all, who these days lets his child just wander off down the street? But

33、 that is precisely the kind of leisure time so vital for deeper friendships. Its then that we simply “hang out“with no tasks, no deadlines and no pressures. It is in those moments that children and adults alike can get to know others for who they are in themselves. Aristotle had an attractive expres

46、。定位句中的 restrain意 为 “克制 ”， applause意为 “掌声 ”，克制掌声暗示作者认为人们不应该为这件事感到欢欣。因此，作者对此的态度应该是否定的。此外，从定位句后面的内容来看，作者提出很多根本没有继续学习能力的学生也被送进大学，也反映出作者的不满态度。因此 D)是本题答案。 A)“我们应该做得好一点以便得到别人更多的赞同 ”、 B)“如果我们想取得成就就不能骄傲 ”和 C)“太多的掌声会妨碍我们做得好 ”都和原文无关，故排除。 【知识模块】 篇章阅读 7 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 事实细节题。根据第一段可知，许多高中在学 生没有能力继续学习的情况下也把他们推进大学。

47、定位句指出学校总是急于得到良好的印象，希望能够吹嘘自己的高升学率。原文中的 always eager for good press是对 high schools的修饰，和 can boast an ever greater percentage一样都是对高中把学生推进大学的原因的说明。因此 C)是本题答案。 A)“从学生家长处挣更多钱 ”没有在原文中提到，故排除； B)“给学生一次接受高等教育的机会 ”不是根本原因，故排除； D)“和一些著名大学建立紧密的联系 ”没有在原文中讨论，故 排除。 【知识模块】 篇章阅读 8 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 事实细节题。由题干可知本题考查的是 W K
