2017年考研英语二阅读真题：Part A Text 3
31. One of the reasons for high-school graduates not taking a gap year is that_____.
[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】答案为C。细节题。根据原文段第二句话“After all, if everyone you know is going to college in the fall, it seems silly to stay back a year, doesn’t it?”可知，本句用反问的形式表达了原因之一在于他们不想和其他人不同。所以C正确。
32. Studies from the US and Australia imply that taking a gap year helps_____.
[A]keep students from being unrealistic
[B]lower risks in choosing careers
[C]ease freshmen's financial burdens
[D]relieve freshmen of pressures
【答案】D
【解析】答案为D。细节题。根据原文第三段的第二句话“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.”可知，此句中pushes them ahead by preparing them for...与D选项 relieve freshmen of 进行同义改写。often struggle with the most对应的是本句中的Pressure，first-years students 对应freshmen。D选项全方位替换。
33. The word "acclimation" (Line 8, Para. 3) is closest in meaning to_____.
[A]adaptation
[B]application
[C]motivation
[D]competition
【答案】A
【解析】答案为A。词义题。根据原文第三段最后一句话“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.”可知，当谈到适应大学生活并且很快融入到一个全新的环境这个问题时，拥有空档年方面的经验可以减少相关的打击，这就使得专注去学习并且参与活动而不是______更容易。各选项代入，A最符合语义，和前面的adjusting to形成复现。
34. A gap year may save money for students by helping them_____.
[A]avoid academic failures
[B]establish long-term goals
[C]switch to another college
[D]decide on the right major
【答案】D
【解析】答案为D。细节题。根据原文第四段句和第三句话“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.”可知，本句中financial impact与题干中的money 相对应，顺沿看后面的信息第三句“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.”可知，学生在确定专业时会有困难。综合前后语义，可知 D正确。
35. The most suitable title for this text would be_____.
[A]In Favor of the Gap Year
[B]The ABCs of the Gap Year
[C]The Gap Year Comes Back
[D]The Gap Year: A Dilemma
