Which word can best describe the freshmen? [br]
The first year of college is a tough transition, and for many students, a disillusioning one. A study conducted last fall at the University of Toronto found that incoming students arrived with unreasonably optimistic expectations. On average, students predicted they would earn grade-point averages of 3. 6. Those dreams were swiftly punctured. By the end of the year, the average freshman had only a 2. 3.
What separated the high-achievers from the low-achievers? As any college admissions counselor will tell you, high school grades have always been the single best predictor of college success. But that does not mean that high school grades are good predictors. Research shows that differences in students’ high school GPAs explain only about 20 percent of the differences between students’ college GPAs.
What accounts for the remainder is still something of a debate and a mystery. Standardized test scores factor in, as does socioeconomic status. And increasingly, education experts think that character traits play a role.
The University of Toronto study sought to understand why there were such wide discrepancies in college performance among students with similar high school records. The researchers gave students personality quizzes to determine which traits were correlated with college success.
They focused on two kinds of students. The "thrivers" were those who did much better in college than their high school grades would have predicted. The "divers" were those who did much worse. Mostly, these students all got fairly good, respectable grades. But upon arriving at college, the thrivers averaged A’s, while the divers averaged F’s.
选项
A、can exactly predicate college success
B、accounts for a great portion of college success
C、are relevant to college success
D、have nothing to do with college success
答案
C
解析
原文指出高中成绩不能很好地预测大学生的在校表现,高中的平均成绩点数只能说明大学成绩点数的20%。所以依此做出的推断只能是两者相关,ABD选项内容都过于绝对了。GPA(Grade Point Average)意为“平均成绩点数”。美国普通课程的GPA满分是4分,其计分标准是A=4,B=3,C=2,D=1。也有一些高级课程满分可达5分或6分。
