Question

12．Americans use the term"college students"to mean students either in colleges or universities．Not only that，Americans almost never say"going off to university"or"when I was in university．"That sounds British．（26）F
（27）DBoth offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and s ciences，for example．And both can help prepare young people to earn a living．
But many colleges do not offer graduate studies．Another difference is that universities are generally bigger．（28）BAnother place of higher education，especially in technical areas，is an institute，like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology．Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities．
Modern universities developed from those of Europ e in the Middle Ages．The word"university"came from the Latin universities，describing a group of people organized for a common purpose．（29）GIn England，colleges were formed to provide students with places to li ve．Usually each group was studying the same thing．So college came to mean an area of study．
The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college．This is still true．（30）AFor example，Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University．
 
A．A college can also be a part of a university．
B．They offer more programs and do more research．
C．There are more universities than colleges in the USA．
D．Colleges and universities have many things in common．
E．Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities．
F．Instead，they say"going off to college"or"when I was in college．"
G．"College"came from collegium，a Latin word with a similar meaning．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇说明文．文章介绍了在美国大学和学院的区别和共同之处．

解答 26-30 FDBGA
26．F逻辑衔接题．根据上文Americans almost never say"going off to university"or"when I was in university．"可知，美国人几乎不说"going off to university"或"when I was in university．"但是他们说，"going off to college"和"when I was in college．"．这是逻辑的衔接．不说…而说…．故选F．
27．D主题句选择题．根据后文Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and s ciences，for example．And both can help prepare young people to earn a living．可知既提供本科学位又有艺术和科学的学位，两者都能帮助年轻人谋生．其谈得是两者的共同点．主题句D：Colleges and universities have many things in common．学院和大学有许多共同之处．符合语境．故选D．
28．B联系下文题．根据前文But many colleges do not offer graduate studies．可知，college不提供进一步学习．而universities则提供更多的课程和研究．B项：They offer more programs and do more research．它们提供更多的课程和研究．符合文意．故选B．
29．G联系上文题．根据前文The word"university"came from the Latin universities，describing a group of people organized for a common purpose．可知"大学"这个词来自拉丁美洲的大学，描述一群为了共同目的而组织起来的人．前后对应都说各自的来源．G项："College"came from collegium，a Latin word with a similar meaning．"大学"来自学院，一个类似含义的拉丁语单词．符合文意．故选G．
30．A结构分析题．根据后文的For example，Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University．可这是总说和分说的关系．A项：A college can also be a part of a university．学院也可以成为大学的一部分．符合文意．故选A．
