1、Grade inflation-the gradual increase in average GPAs (grade-point averages) over the past few decades-is often considered a product of a consumer era in higher education, in which students are treated like customers to be pleased. But another, related force-a policy often buried deep in course catalogs called "grade forgiveness"-is helping raise GPAs.（節(jié)選自2019年考研英語(yǔ)一Text 2）

 

【題目】

What is commonly regarded as the cause of grade inflation?

A. The change of course catalogs.

B. Students' indifference to GPAS.

C. Colleges' neglect of GPAS.

D. The influence of consumer culture

 

【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題的解題方法通常是將題干精細(xì)切分為幾部分，然后將每一部分帶回文中所在段落中進(jìn)行窮盡式的匹配，最終能夠一一對(duì)應(yīng)題干中每一部分的句子，即是我們要鎖定的目標(biāo)句一答案所出句。此題題干中的commonly，regarded as，cause，grade inflation分別一一對(duì)應(yīng)段落中的often，considered，a product 和主語(yǔ)Grade inflation，即可鎖定該句為目標(biāo)句。此句的剩余部分a consumer era即為我們所求的答案，而The influence of consumer culture正是其的同義表達(dá)。

 

2、The use of this little-known practice has accelerated in recent years, as colleges continue to do their utmost to keep students in school(and paying tuition) and improve their graduation rates. When this practice first started decades ago, it was usually limited to freshmen, to give them a second chance to take a class in their first year if they struggled in their transition to college-level courses. But now most colleges, save for many selective campuses, allow all undergraduates, and even graduate students, to get their low grades forgiven.（節(jié)選自2019年考研英語(yǔ)一Text 2）

 

【題目】

What was the original purpose of grade forgiveness?

A. To help freshmen adapt to college learning.

B. To maintain colleges' graduation rates.

C. To prepare graduates for a challenging future.

D. To increase universities' income from tuition.

 

【解析】此題定位到第三段第二句，該句中的this practice對(duì)應(yīng)題干中的grade forgiveness，first started對(duì)應(yīng)題干中的original，而不定式短語(yǔ)to give them（freshmen）a second chance..if they struggled in their transition to college-level courses（如果大一新生在都向大學(xué)課程的過(guò)渡中有問(wèn)題的話再給他們一次機(jī)會(huì)……）為目的，對(duì)應(yīng)題干中的purpose，故正確答案應(yīng)為[A]選項(xiàng)To help freshmen adapt to college learning。
