考点：考查教育类短文

解析

考查要点：

  1. 细节理解：根据文章具体信息直接回答问题，需准确定位关键句。
  2. 逻辑推理：结合上下文推断隐含信息，如学生参与组织的原因。
  3. 计算能力：通过数字关系计算每周课程数。
  4. 主旨把握：理解学生会组织的作用及学生行为动机。

解题核心思路：

  • 定位关键词：如“normally”“at least”“pressure”等，快速锁定相关段落。
  • 排除干扰项：注意选项中绝对化表述（如“permanently”）与原文的细微差别。
  • 因果关系：明确“成绩记录影响就业”与“学生压力”的关联。

第1题

关键句：

  • “A typical course consists of three classes per week... attend four or five courses during each semester.”
    计算逻辑：
  • 每门课每周3节课 → 4门课 → $3 \times 4 = 12$ 节（最少）。
  • 选项B（12）正确。

第2题

关键句：

  • “It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another... though this is not... a regular practice.”
    选项辨析：
  • 选项D（获得两个学位）符合“转学但不转专业”的隐含逻辑，原文未直接否定此可能性。

第3题

关键句：

  • “All this imposes a constant pressure... to show to potential employers.”
    推理逻辑：
  • 压力来源是“成绩记录影响未来就业”，而非其他干扰项。

第4题

关键句：

  • “A student who has held one of these positions of authority... benefit to him later in his career.”
    直接对应：
  • 选项C（更好工作）与“benefit to his career”一致。

第5题

关键句：

  • “Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm.”
    主旨归纳：
  • 学生组织通过选举等活动激发参与热情，选项D（社会活动）最贴合。
