2、3结论。 （分数：30.00）_二、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：1，分数：71.00)Choosing a College Major The most important piece of advice in this article follows this sentence, so, are you ready for it? The advice: Dont panic. I know its easier said than done, but I cant tell you how many students I have advised since the
3、time that I have been a professor that seem in a state of panic if they are uncertain of their major, let alone a career. Choosing a major, thinking about a career, getting an education these are the things college is all about. Yes, there are some students who arrive on campus and know exactly thei
4、r major and career ambitions, but the majority of students do not, thus there is no need to rush into a decision about your major as soon as you step on campus. And guess what? A majority of students in all colleges and universities change their major at least once in their college careers; and many
5、 change their major several times over the course of their college career. This article is all about giving you some pointers and direction some steps for you to take in your journey toward discovering that ideal career path for you. But it is a journey, so make sure you spend some time thinking abo
6、ut it before making a decision. And dont be discouraged if you still dont have a major the first time you take this journey.your goal should be narrowing your focus from all possible majors to a few areas that you can then explore in greater depth. Way back when I was an undergraduate, I was a dual
7、major in marketing and magazine journalism. Today I am a college professor, which brings me to another piece of general advice before you begin your journey: your major in college is important for your first job after graduation, but studies show that most people will change careers yes, careers abo
8、ut four or five times over the course of their lives and no major exists that can prepare you for that! The first stop on your journey should be an examination or self-assessment of your interests. What types of things excite you? What types of jobs or careers appeal to you? The second stop on your
9、journey is an examination of your abilities. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? What kind of skills do you have? You can begin this self-examination by looking at the courses you took in high school. What were your best subjects? Is there a pattern there? What kinds of extracurricula
10、r activities did you participate in while in high school? What kinds of things did you learn from part-time or summer jobs? The third stop on your journey involves examining what you value in work. Examples of values include: helping society, working under pressure, stability, security, status, paci
11、ng, working alone or with groups, having a positive impact on others, and many others. The fourth stop on your journey is career exploration. There are many schools that offer “what can I do with a major in?“ fact sheets. You can also learn more about various occupations, including future trends, by
12、 searching the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook. The fifth stop on your journey is the reality check. You need to honestly evaluate your options. Do you really value physicians and have an interest in being a doctor, but have little skills in science? Do you have a strong interest in
13、the arts, but your family is convinced you will become a CPA like your father? There are often ways to get around some of the obstacles during the reality check, but it is still important to face these obstacles and be realistic about whether you can get around them. The sixth and final stop on your
14、 journey is the task of narrowing your choices and focusing on choosing a major. Based on all your research and self-assessment of the first five stops on your journey, you should now have a better idea of the careers/majors you are not interested in pursuing as well as a handful of potential career
15、s/majors that do interest you. What are some other resources for helping you get more information about a major and/or a career? Take advantage of: Your professors, including your academic adviser talk with your professors, whether you have taken a class with them or not. Any of them have worked in
16、the field in which they teach and all are experts about careers and career opportunities. Your classmates, especially upperclassmen these are the folk who are deep into their major, perhaps already having had an internship or gone through job interviews. Use them as a resource to gather more informa
17、tion. Your colleges alumni unless your college was just founded, your school probably has a deep and varied group of alums, many of whom like to talk with current students. They can also be a resource to gather more information about careers. Your colleges career center almost always under-appreciat
18、ed, these folk have such a wealth of information at their fingertips that it is a shame more students dont take advantage of them and not just in your senior year. Start visiting in your first year because most have resources for choosing a major and a career, as well as internship and job placement

41、ere are several points about the evaluative essay you have to keep in mind. First, avoid using language that is simplistically judgmental. Dont say that something is great or beautiful or exciting or interesting. Your readers are apt to become defensive: “Well be the judge of that,“ theyll say. Your
42、 job as the writer of this essay is to show how the work under consideration is beautiful or exciting. If you do that well, your readers will be convinced of the works beauty without your saying that its beautiful. An occasional, off-handed “beautiful“ or “exciting“ is all right; just dont expect yo
43、ur readers to be convinced unless you make them feel that beauty or excitement. Second, dont re-tell the story. Only a sentence or two is enough to cover the story of an entire novel. If you spend your essay telling readers what happened in The Bluest Eye, they re going to wonder why they arent read
44、ing Toni Morrisons novel instead of your essay; after all, the Nobel Prize winner probably did a better job telling her story than you could ever do. Your job is to provide some insight into how Morrison did what she did. Then, in reading your essay, readers will say, “Wow! Thats great! I better go
45、read that novel.“ There will be occasions when you are forced to use the specialized vocabulary that people who really like this kind of art are used to using. Reading the CD booklets of jazz albums is sometimes like reading a foreign language if you re not hip. Thats to be expected. If it is writte
46、n well, your reader will go along with you. You cant be expected to review a rock concert with the same language that you d use to review the performance of a string quartet (管弦四重奏). Critics who write about art sometimes have their own vocabulary for doing so, and you need to be at least somewhat fa
47、miliar with that vocabulary before writing seriously about art. （分数：177.50）(1).According to the author, what kind of comments you d better avoid in your review?（分数：35.50）A.Description of the details of the performance.B.Using simple evaluative words.C.Persona preference.D.Background information.(2).According to the passage, to write an impressive evaluative essay, the author should_.（分数：35.50）A.provide new insights into the artistic worksB.polish the language in the reviewC.make there view as detaile
