Does going to college really pay off?Certainly!
I remember taking(43)an English class in college on the short story.Our first assignment(作业)was to read (44)twoshort stories and then discuss which one was better.After reading both,I wasn't sure.Over the next several months,my professor taught me (45)whyone story was so much better than the other.(46)One was rich in metaphor(隐喻) 案的character development,while the other was humorous (47)buttoo shallow(浅显).I couldn't see this (48)atfirst.In a few months,my brain got reeducated and (49)Icould see the difference between good and bad writing and could appreciate literature at a whole new level.
Going to college helps build a strong mind,(50)whichleads to greater success in one's life.
分析 本文主要介绍上大学是否值得.作者通过自己阅读了两个故事,经过一段的学习能区分两个故事之间的好坏来说明上大学能帮助发展一个强大的头脑,从而导致在一个人的生活中有更大的成功.
解答 43.an 考查冠词.class是可数名词,单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指,因English读音以发元音开头,用不定冠词an.
44.two 考查数词.根据宾语从句which one was better,应是"两个故事",用数词two.
45.why 考查连词.teach后接的宾语从句中缺少原因状语,用连词why.
46.One 考查固定搭配.one…the other…意为"一个…另一个…",是固定搭配.
47.but 考查连词.humorous和shallow是转折关系,用连词but.
48.at 考查固定搭配.at first意为"最初; 首先",是固定搭配.
49.I 考查代词.根据句意:我能明白这种区别.用连词I.
50.which 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子,在从句中作主语,用关系代词which.
