Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

There is a ton to love about college life: new friends, classes you may be thrilled about and new-found freedom. All of a sudden you could do whatever you want, whenever you want. _【1】__You get homesick.

_【2】_ A new place, unfamiliar faces, an increased mental workload adding stress on top of it all can be a difficult pill to swallow. This is your first time away from your habitual setting, the first time away from home for an indefinite period of time.

Homesickness affects roughly 7% of higher education students. That’s a lot, and it’s also only the ones that have expressed some concern. __【3】__ You aren’t the first, nor the last, nor the only one with these feelings. It’s completely natural, and to be expected.

Recognizing that there is something wrong is the first step. It can be difficult to call home or speak to an advisor about being homesick when everyone around you seems to be having the times of their lives. But remember the fact that there are a ton of others feeling the same way. __【4】__.

Also, in the age of everyone being connected via Face book and texting, it can be easy to retreat behind a wall of technology to communicate. __【5】 It can reduce contact to the new atmosphere around them.

A. So what does this mean?

B. However, this may do more harm than good.

C. You are not alone, so don’t feel too upset.

D. It can give you a little helping hand to speak up.

E. But then something you don’t expect happens.

F. So here are a few things to help get over those blues.

G. Believe it or not, feeling homesick is completely normal for any college student.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】E

【2】G

【3】A

【4】D

【5】B

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了很多上大学的学生会想家，这是一种正常的情况。同时作者也在文章里提出了具体的解决方法。

【1】E 根据前句All of a sudden you could do whatever you want, whenever you want.上大学以后你可以在你想要的任何时候，做你想做的任何事情。这是上大学的好处，后句You get homesick.叙述上大学的不利之处。说明上下文之间存在转折关系，故E项符合上下文串联。

【2】G 根据第一段最后一句You get homesick.提出上大学会让我们想家，第二段应该接着第一段继续讲述大学生想家的有关情况。故G正确。

【3】A 根据本段第一句Homesickness affects roughly 7% of higher education students.可知有百分之7的学生都会想家。再根据横线后一句You aren’t the first, nor the last, nor the only one with these feelings.你不是第一个，也不是最后一个，更不是唯一有这样想法的人。可知横线上这句是在解释前句That’s a lot, and it’s also only the ones that have expressed some concern.的含义。故A项符合上下文串联。

【4】D 本段介绍处理这一问题的方法就是要说出来，因为说出你的感受可以帮助你克服思乡之情。故D项符合上下文串联。

【5】B 本段介绍使用Face book等方法消除思乡之情，但是这些方法会让你无法和你所在的环境相融合。也就是说这些方法也有很多不利之处。故B正确。
