5.The day I got accepted into NYU,I was too excited to fall asleep.All of my hard work had finally paid off.I wanted to become a filmmaker,so NYU Tisch was basically the best thing that could have happened to me.
But I turned it down.
It all started when I took a gap year.I was offered the opportunity to study abroad in a gap year program,so NYU was on hold and I set sail for my year off.When I returned home,nothing felt the same.
First of all,I started to realize that my dream might not be worth the cost.NYU is expensive.Did I really want to take on such severe debt just for a degree in film?
In February of 2014,I formally withdrew my acceptance from NYU and started the college application process all over again.
Luckily,I was accepted to a few small art schools closer to home.So,here I am today,studying English at a college in a quiet town by the beach.
This school is definitely less challenging than a more elite (精英) school would have been,but The New York Times argues that that can work to my advantage.I'm more likely to graduate at the top of my class in this environment,thus leading to more job opportunities in the future.
I won't say that I don't think about what my life would have been like at NYU.I do.All the time.Sometimes with sadness,but never with regret.
So don't be afraid to change your mind.There's strength in recognizing when something doesn't feel right.Don't believe the view about having to attend the most celebrated college in order to lead a successful life.Studies show that if you're a good student,what school you attend doesn't really matter at all.College is a match to be made,not a prize to be won.

29.Why did the author turn down NYU?D
A.He wanted to take a gap year program.
B.He didn't like the major he had chosen.
C.He decided to work rather than go to college.
D.He felt attending NYU wouldn't be worth the debt.
30.What did the author major in at last?C
A.Environmental protection.
B.Film making.
C.Language.
D.Art.
31.What might be the author's; opinion?C
A.Good students should attend a good university.
B.Only famous schools can give you a better future.
C.The best university is not necessarily the best choice.
D.A chance to attend a good university is worth anything.

分析 本文主要讲述了作者在收到纽约大学的录取通知书后拒绝以及他对大学的选择的一些观点和看法.

解答 29.D 细节题.根据文中内容,First of all,I started to realize that my dream might not be worth the cost.NYU is expensive.Did I really want to take on such severe debt just for a degree in film?作者意识到到纽约大学读电影系会花费太高的学费,而那是作者承受不了的,结合选项,故选D
30.C 细节题.根据文中内容,So,here I am today,studying English at a college in a quiet town by the beach.后来作者在一个离家很近的学校学习英语,结合选项,故C正确,学习语言学
31.C 作者观点题.根据文中内容,Don't believe the view about having to attend the most celebrated college in order to lead a successful life.Studies show that if you're a good student,what school you attend doesn't really matter at all.College is a match to be made,not a prize to be won.不要认为上了一所好的大学,你就会过成功的生活,成绩只能表明你是一个好学生,你上的哪所学校并不是最重要的,在学校里学习到的做人做事的道理才是最重要的.结合选项,故选C

点评 本文是一个日常生活类阅读,题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.
