【题目】【2016届江西上高县第二中学高三上学期第二次月考】
Before your child's final exam: and the graduation announcements, you face a significant task together: choosing the right college or university. There is no "one size fits all" approach to selecting a college—it's a very personal process for most teenagers. Consider a wide range of factors to help your child make the best possible choice.
Discuss with your child her post-high school choices, such as college, finding work or starting a business, or joining the army. If you determine together that college is the best choice for your child, talk about the importance of college, and her longer-term goals by going to college.
Talk to your child about what she thinks is important in a college experience and share your opinions as well. Identify the issues that will directly impact her college choice, such as her grades, test scores and family finances. Then make a list of the key criteria for her dream school, including factors such as the school's location, its size, the types of program:, the after school activities available and the type of financial aid available.
Prioritize the item: on your child's list, at least to the extent of sorting it into "must-haves," "highly desirable" and "nice-to-have" categories. Put these factors into an online search engine specifically designed to identify colleges and universities that best meet your criteria, such as that offered by CollegeBoard.org. Start with the most important criteria, then experiment with additional factors to narrow the search results to a number you can work with,
Use the search results as a guide to further focus your college search. Research each school by reviewing its website, requesting information directly from the school and attending local presentations about the school.

【文章大意】本文主要介绍了帮助孩子对高中毕业以后进入大学时所要考虑的诸多因素。
【1】A 考查猜测词义。根据下一句at least to the extent of sorting it into "must-haves," "highly desirable" and "nice-to-have" categories.可知要把“必须有的”“急需要的”“得到将会很高兴的”要求都包括进去。也就是说该词表示按照重要性的顺序来排列的。故A正确。
【2】B 考查细节理解。根据第三段第一句Talk to your child about what she thinks is important in a college experience and share your opinions as well.可知我们要和孩子谈谈，要考虑孩子的观点和要求。故B正确。
【3】C 考查推理判断。根据第一段最后一句Consider a wide range of factors to help your child make the best possible choice.可知作者在本文中主要介绍的是帮助孩子做出选择的建议，也就是说本文主要充当的是介绍的作用。故C正确。
