【题目】 The college schedule is very different from the traditional high school schedule. 【1】 In high school, you had to take the US History, which was offered every day at 10:00 a.m. In college, you’ll probably need to take a history class, but you could have 10 choices offered on different days and at different times.
【2】 For example, you will pick a course that will determine the types of classes you will specialize in. In high school, you have a set curriculum of classes you have to take across all subject areas. 【3】 During the first two years, you’ll take more general education classes. But during your junior and senior years, you’ll take fewer general education classes.
Another big difference you should be aware of is classes. Now, you’re in school from 7:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. 【4】 In college, you might have a science class on Mondays and Fridays from 10:10-11:00 a.m. Perhaps you’ll have a Chinese class on Thursdays from 1:15-3:00 p.m.
【5】 If you go to a large university, your campus will be your home and might take up an entire town. You might see hundreds of students going out to bars every night. Many colleges are home both to academic and social clubs. In high school your stage is regional. In college, your stage is national-and sometimes global.
A.This will not be the case in college.
B.In college, think about your schedule as a pyramid.
C.Some things will appear similar, but many will be different.
D.Typically, there is a lot more flexibility with your college classes.
E.The differences will challenge your self-management as much as your abilities.
F.The atmosphere and social life in college are also different from those in high school.
G.The other cool thing is that you usually have more opportunities to explore your interests.

【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国大学生活和高中生活的几点不同。
【1】
根据前文“The college schedule is very different from the traditional high school schedule.”可知，本段在讲述大学的课程表与传统的高中课程表的不同，因此设空句应是对其进行进一步解释。且结合后文“In high school, you had to take the US History, which was offered every day at 10:00 a.m. In college, you’ll probably need to take a history class, but you could have 10 choices offered on different days and at different times.( 在高中，你必须上美国历史课，每天上午10点上。在大学里，你可能需要上一门历史课，但是你可以在不同的时间和日子里有10个选择。)”可知，具体讲述了大学上课的灵活性和选择性。因此设空句应承接前文主题“the college schedule”，且呼应后文提及的“灵活性”。选项D. Typically, there is a lot more flexibility with your college classes.( 通常，你的大学课程有更多的灵活性。)符合语境分析。故选D项。
【2】
设空句在段首，应是本段主题句。根据后文举例内容“For example, you will pick a course that will determine the types of classes you will specialize in. In high school, you have a set curriculum of classes you have to take across all subject areas.( 比如说，你将会选择一个你将要进行专业学习的课程。在高中，你有一套课程，你必须参加所有学科领域的课程。)”可知，举例内容主要说明了大学课程允许个人选择更倾向研究的科目。选项G. The other cool thing is that you usually have more opportunities to explore your interests.( 另一件很酷的事情是你通常有更多的机会去探索你的兴趣。)中的interests与后文提及的“classes you will specialize in”相呼应，且符合前后文句意搭配。故选G项。
【3】
设空句在段中，应起承前启后的作用。因此设空句应承接前文提及的话题“college classes”。根据后文“During the first two years, you’ll take more general education classes. But during your junior and senior years, you’ll take fewer general education classes.( 在前两年，你将学习更多的普通教育课程。但是在你大三和大四的时候，你会少上一些普通教育课程。)”可知，后文在讲述大学课程“由多到少”的安排，设空句应对这样设置的大学课程进行总结。选项B. In college, think about your schedule as a pyramid.( 在大学里，把你的课程表想象成一个金字塔。)中“pyramid”合理概括了大学课程设置的特点，符合语境分析。故选B项。
【4】
设空在段中，应是过渡句，起到承前启后的作用。根据前文“Now, you’re in school from 7:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.( 高中在校时间是从星期一到星期五，每天都是早上7:30到校、下午2:30放学)”，后文“In college, you might have a science class on Mondays and Fridays from 10:10-11:00 a.m. Perhaps you’ll have a Chinese class on Thursdays from 1:15-3:00 p.m.( 在大学，你可能星期一和星期五的上午10:10至11点上自然课，也可能星期四的下午1:15至3点上中文课。)”，说明过渡句要呼应前文的“高中时间”，也要过渡到“大学时间”，选项A. This will not be the case in college.( 在大学里就不是这样了。)中的“this”呼应前文的“高中时间”，且出现了“college”，句意表达上起到了过渡作用。故选A项。
【5】
设空在段首，为本段主题句。根据后文内容“If you go to a large university, your campus will be your home and might take up an entire town. You might see hundreds of students going out to bars every night. Many colleges are home both to academic and social clubs. In high school your stage is regional. In college, your stage is national-and sometimes global.( 如果你上的是一所大型大学，你的校园就是你的家，可能会占据整个城镇。你可能每天晚上都看到成百上千的学生去酒吧。许多大学既是学术俱乐部又是社交俱乐部。在高中，你的阶段是区域性的。在大学里，你的舞台是全国性的，有时甚至是全球性的。)”描述的是大学校园、学生生活、学校的各种学术和社交俱乐部等。选项F. The atmosphere and social life in college are also different from those in high school.提及了大学的氛围和社交生活也和高中不同，为本段主题句。故选F项。
七选五技巧之段首位置好判断
假如设空句为段首句，它通常是段落主题句，认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的的词，甚至原词，推断主题句。比如文章第5小题：
____5 __ If you go to a large university, your campus will be your home and might take up an entire town. You might see hundreds of students going out to bars every night. Many colleges are home both to academic and social clubs. In high school your stage is regional. In college, your stage is national-and sometimes global.
F. The atmosphere and social life in college are also different from those in high school.
本题设空句在段首，考查主题句。空后面描述的是大学校园、学生生活、学校的各种学术和社交俱乐部等。推测主题句应包含“college”，“social club”，“campus”等词。选项F. The atmosphere and social life in college are also different from those in high school.符合推测分析。故选F项为答案。
