3.Why College Is Not HomeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity.However,now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence,during which many of today's students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.
For previous generations,college was decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed come from people of the same age and from within.In the past two decades,however,continued connection with and dependence on family,thanks to cellphones,email and social media,have increased significantly.Some parents go so far as to help with coursework.Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility,universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility,college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation.This process involves"trying on"new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually(在思维方面) and personally.While we should provide"safe spaces"within colleges,we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views.Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning
Learning to deal with the social world is equally important.Because a college community(群体) differs from the family,many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging.If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern,they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.
Moreover,the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults:the response to being controlled by their elders.If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined(规定) and controlled,the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.
It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out,particularly when there are reasons to do so.Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency.What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescent's desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world.Therefore,there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.
Every college discussion about community values,social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation,of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.

分析 本文讲述了当下的大学教育现状--大学原本是培养学生独立性和成年特征的场所,是学生从"家"到"社会"的过渡,然而现在的大学教育却成了青年的"安居"场所,青年人越来越不能承担起作为成年人的责任.作者分析了形成这种现象的原因并且提出了相关的改进建议.
解答 27.B 28.A 29.D 30.C
27 B 猜测作者情感态度.第二段记叙了这种现象--上一代人里,大学生是从同龄人中获得帮助和指引;而这二十年里,大学生从父母处获得帮助.第三段里作者表明了自己的态度--To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility,college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation.以及While we should provide"safe spaces"within colleges,we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views.以及综合全文的中心思想(可在第一段和最后一段找到),作者并不赞同"continued parental guidance to college students"(大学生继续父母的指导).故答案为B dissaproving.
28 A 词义理解题.可在第二段找到原句"Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility,universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home."结合句意可知,接受家的庇护到大学生的独立性和承担成人的责任是一个"过渡",是一种变化过程,因此答案为A,change.
29 D 中心思想归纳题.由全文大意以及最后一段总结段的作者的意见Every college discussion about community values,social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation,of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.以及第三段的关键句Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning.可知第三段关键句的同义句是D选项,作者主张加强大学生的独立性以及个性发展.故答案为D.
30 C 写作结构分析题.全文第一段作者提出了全文的中心思想,最后一段再次呼吁.第二和三段是现象和建议的关系(第二段陈述的是一种现象"在孩子上大学时,家长仍继续指引;学校也提倡给大学生提供跟家一样舒适的环境.",第三段提出针对这一现象的建议),第四五段是对第三段的建议进行分述,第六段是进一步说明第五段的内容--如果不这样做的话产生的结果.因此答案为C.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
