一、考試概述：

　　本次考試難度中等，三篇文章中兩篇為新題，一篇為舊題。第一篇講了關(guān)于霸王龍的相關(guān)知識，考察的題型也較為基礎(chǔ)。第二篇講了人的感官，第三篇則是關(guān)于電影的發(fā)展史，有些難度，匹配題需要當(dāng)心。

　　很多考生表示，8 月 26 日的閱讀部分的前兩篇難度還可以，第三篇題目很難。所以同學(xué)們先拿到考卷的時候，要首先對試卷的文章個題目有個大致的了解，先挑自己有把握的做，然后再去糾結(jié)難的題目。

　　對于8 月 26 日的這場閱讀考試來說，同學(xué)們就需要確保閱讀的第一篇和第二篇的正確率，然后再做第三篇，這樣就不會因為第三篇閱讀浪費時間而導(dǎo)致前兩篇閱讀馬虎，出現(xiàn)錯誤而丟分了。

　　二、具體題目分析

　　Passage 1：

　　題目： T-rex: Hunter or Scavenger?

　　題號：舊題

　　題型：判斷+填空+匹配

　　參考原文：

　　T-rex: Hunter or Scavenger?

　　Jack Horner is an unlikely academic: his dyslexia is so bad that he has trouble reading a book. But he can read the imprint of life in sandstone or muddy shale across a distance of 100 years, and it is this gift that has made him curator of palaeontology at Montana State University’s Museum of the Rockies, the leader of a multi-million dollar scientific project to expose a complete slice of life 68 million years ago, and a consultant to Steven Spielberg and other Hollywood figures.

　　His father had a sand and gravel quarry in Montana, and the young Horner was a collec- tor of stones and bones, complete with notes about when and where he found them. “My father had owned a ranch when he was younger, in Montana,” he says. “He was enough of a geologist, being a sand and gravel man, to have a pretty good notion that they were dinosaur bones. So when I was eight years old he took me back to the area that had been his ranch, to where he had seen these big old bones. I picked up one. I am pretty sure it was the upper arm bone of a duckbilled dinosaur: it probably wasn’t a duckbilled dinosaur but closely related to that. I catalogued it, and took good care of it, and then later when I was in high school, excavated my first dinosaur skeleton. It obviously started earlier than eight and I literally have been driven ever since. I feel like I was born this way.”

　　Horner spent seven years at university, but never graduated. “I have a learning disability, I would call it a learning difference — dyslexia, they call it — and I just had a terrible time with English and foreign languages and things like that. For a degree in geology or biology they required two years of a foreign language. There was no way in the world I could do that. In fact, I didn’t really pass English. So I couldn’t get a degree, I just wasn’t capable of it. But I took all of the courses required and I wrote a thesis and I did all sorts of things. So I have the education, I just don’t have the piece of paper.” he says.

　　Passage2：

　　Possible Ideas:

　　Body 1:

　　人口越來越多，競爭越來越激烈，對于無工作經(jīng)驗的大學(xué)生，突出的專業(yè)水平無疑是步入職場的前提。

　　Body 2:

　　相比較小學(xué)、中學(xué)的通識教育，大學(xué)是絕大多數(shù)年輕人轉(zhuǎn)變身份錢的最后階段，所以大學(xué)也應(yīng)為應(yīng)對職場需求做準備。

　　Conclusion:

　　不僅過硬的專業(yè)知識，相配套的的職場能力也可在大學(xué)階段通過校內(nèi)校外活動培養(yǎng)。
