　　導師點評

　　本文主要圍繞“我為什么要上大學?”這一話題展開討論，首先介紹了教育對人發(fā)展的重要性，然后說明大學在教育中的地位，從而層次分明地解釋了上大學的原因。

　　答案簡析

　　1. C。such常用在不定冠詞或名詞前修飾可數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞，表示“此類的”、“這種的”，故such為正確選項。

　　2. A。come up with意為“提出、找出”;agree with意為“同意”;be fed up with意為“對……厭倦”;get on well with意為“和……相處得好”。根據(jù)文意A為正確選項。

　　3. B。上文講到我曾找到過各種各樣的原因，其中最重要的原因應當是……，因此這里應用important的最高級，故選the most。

　　4. D。固定結構be different from 表示“不同于……”。

　　5. A。本段著重說明了教育在人的發(fā)展中的作用，以及大學在教育中的地位。作為總括句，本空應填education。

　　6. C。這是一個含有條件狀語從句的復合句，意為“如果我不能受到更高等的教育，我就無法完成我的學業(yè)”，故選will not finish為正確選擇。

　　7. B。這里只能選可作定語的選項。過去分詞developed表示“成熟的”，為正確選項。

　　8. D。大學應是提供高等教育的地方, provide符合文意為正確選項。

　　9. B。介詞among可表示”包括……在內(nèi)”為正確選項。

　　10. C。與前半句相對應，這里仍應用比較級，而may better意思不對，因此be able to better為正確選項。
