题文
阅读理解 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 halftime dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to
college, so I told them I would go to community college (社区学院) and I didn't worry about my SAT
(美国大学入学考试) scores.
When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own colleges, I started to
wish I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, and discovering new
places, while 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 (大学校园) 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 fulltime and I would do
anything to go back to my high school days for a second chance!1. Why didn't the author worry about his SAT scores?A. He wanted to go to community college.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 Durin.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
