Passage 3Today,widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year.After all,if everyone you know is going to college in the fall,it seems silly to stay back a year,doesn’t it?And after going to school for 12 years,it doesn’t feel natural to spend a year doing something that isn't academic.But while this may be true,it's not a good enough reason to condemn gap years.There’s always a constant fear of falling behind everyone else on the socially perpetuated“race to the finish line,”whether that be toward graduate school,medical school or lucrative career.But despite common misconceptions,a gap year does not hinder the success of academic pursuits—in fact,it probably enhances it.Studies from the United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not.Rather than pulling students back,a gap year pushes them ahead by preparing them for independence,new responsibilities and environmental changes—all things that first-year students often struggle with the most.Gap year experiences can lessen the blow when it comes to adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environment,making it easier to focus on academics and activities rather than?acclimation?blunders.If you’re not convinced of the inherent value in taking a year off to explore interests,then consider its financial impact on future academic choices.According to the National Center for Education Statistics,nearly 80 percent of college students end up changing their majors at least once.This isn’t surprising,considering the basic mandatory high school curriculum leaves students with a poor understanding of themselves listing one major on their college applications,but switching to another after taking college classes.It’s not necessarily a bad thing,but depending on the school,it can be costly to make up credits after switching too late in the game.At Boston College,for example,you would have to complete an extra year were you to switch to the nursing school from another department.Taking a gap year to figure things out initially can help prevent stress and save money later on.One of the reasons for high-school graduates not taking a gap year is that( ).A.they think it academically misleadingB.they have a lot of fun to expect in collegeC.it feels strange to do differently from othersD.it seems worthless to take off-campus courses
选项
A.they think it academically misleading
B.they have a lot of fun to expect in college
C.it feels strange to do differently from others
D.it seems worthless to take off-campus courses
答案
C
解析
题干中找不到明显的可以定位的关键词,但是根据high school graduates可以看到和第一段的college相对应,而文章中的stay back a year与题干中的gap year是同义替换,那么可知文章里的silly对应选项中的strange。根据这些信息可知之所以不进行间隔年,是因为会让人觉得很蠢很奇怪。C选项:高中毕业生不进行间隔年起其中的一个原因是这会让他们感觉和其他人不一样,表达与文意一致。故正确答案是选项C。
