阅读强化训练(四)(建议用时：25分钟) 阅读理解You see them in the halls, in a daze, walking toward their classes. Their faces are pale with tiredness；their backs are bent under the weight of a dozen textbooks. They are the ones struggling to hold back a yawn during class, the ones crazily rereading their notes on the nature of light.They are the few, the chosen. They are the AP(Advanced Placement) students. The truth is that honors students are no longer a select few. Over half of students hoping to enter colleges will take AP classes, and of these, most take at least two. The AP system makes them believe that their college success depends on taking as many advanced courses as possible, but is it really worth it? “On average, I spend three to four hours each day on homework，” says one high school student, who is taking five AP classes.With increasing pressure to apply for AP courses, not only for college credit but also for the weighted GPA(Grade Point Average), it is no wonder that students often find their grades suffering and their stress levels increasing. In reality, AP courses have become mere trophies(奖杯), adding little to the competitive college application.One of the major disadvantages in the AP system is that every class is shaped for a standardized test. The result is that comprehensive learning is replaced by test preparation, with teachers spending the most time on topics likely to appear on the AP exam. “It would be nice to sit back and learn for the sake of learning, not just to get a five on the test in May.” says one high school student.And just because a student receives a high grade on the AP test does not mean he or she will receive college credit. Many universities now dont consider an AP class in high school can replace an actual undergraduate collegelevel class, which is usually a threehour, lecturebased course with changing degrees of homework. Perhaps more high schools should consider offering their students the opportunity to take actual college courses through the local university.【解题导语】许多高中学生在进入大学前为了能够在成绩上获得优势会选修大学先修课程。但是这种课程真的能够帮助学生学到知识吗？1Who are more likely to take AP classes?ACollege students.BEmployees who want to improve themselves.CTeachers who intend to guide their students.DHigh school students who want to apply for universities.D解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的Over half of students hoping to enter colleges will take AP classes, and of these, most take at least two.以及下文内容可知，选修AP课程的多数为报考大学的高中生。2What can we learn from Paragraph 3?AStudents who take AP courses are poor in study.BIt is very difficult for students to apply for AP courses.CThe role of AP courses in applying for colleges is small.DStudents take AP courses only to win more trophies.C解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的AP courses have become mere trophies(奖杯), adding little to the competitive college application.可知，AP课程在竞争激烈的大学申请中起到的作用很小。3What is the authors concern about AP system?AIt would add more homework to students.BIt is too expensive for students to afford it.CIt aims for the tests but not for a wideranging knowledge.DIt would increase the competition of applying for colleges.C解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的One of the major disadvantages in the AP system is that every class is shaped for a standardized test.
