Question

【题目】During my high school years, the most important thing was what I was wearing to the Friday night dance and who I was taking. Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worries.

When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote, “Enjoy your four years…, they go by fast.” I remember not believing him then, but looking back…, he was right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.

However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when someone spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasn't ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like . Studying was something I did only AFTER I nailed my half-time dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college, so I told them I would go to community college and I didn’t worry about my SAT scores.

When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own college ,I started to wish I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, discovering new places, and I was living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated it! I thought college was supposed to be different! Why didn’t I take more time to research colleges and do the same? I ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus atmosphere instead of two.

My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working full time and I would do anything to go back to my high school days for a second chance!

【4】B

【解析】

试题分析：作者回顾了自己四年的高中生活，觉得非常怀念和珍惜，也略感遗憾，因为这是人生最重要的时光。

【1】细节理解题。由 “I knew my parents wanted me to go to college, so I told them I would go to community college and I didn’t worry about my SAT scores. ”可知我想去社区学院，所以并不担心我的SAT分数。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。由 “Studying was something I did only AFTER I nailed my half-time dance performance.”可知A错误；B文章未提；由“when someone spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasn't ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like .”当别人谈论大学时，我就不搭理他们，因为我还没有准备好离开我舒适的中学生活，可知C错误；在高中时，作者很享受来往于学校的生活。由“…I started to wish I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, discovering new places, and I was living at home and driving to and from class every day.”当别人毕业后开始忙着交新友，找新地方，我还是和以前一样，开车往返与学校。故D正确。

【3】判断推理题。由下文 “I remember not believing him then, but looking back…, he was right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult. ”可知，起初对于哥哥的话我不相信，但是现在回过头去看时，发现他是对的，这四年塑造了一个真正的我，我最大化地发展了自己，也让我成为了一名成年人，由此可知哥哥是是让自己珍惜高中生活。故选A。

【4】判断推理题。根据最后一段“Now I have graduated and I am working full time and I would do anything to go back to my high school days for a second chance!”，现在作者毕业了，也工作了，如果给自己第二次上高中的几乎，他将不惜一切代价。因此作者肯定是后悔的遗憾的。故选B。
