Ⅱ.阅读理解

[2019·河北石家庄一中高一期末]I used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my college, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of the audience and facing so many freshmen, I was trembling. I didn't remember any words that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I am just storing knowledge, yet I fail to communicate with others. I have received many awards in school, but they don't necessarily reflect anything about me. I don't

know how to socialize. When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society.

I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part­time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society. I still believe that working my hardest makes me happy. I will still stay on in college. But I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world.

1．The underlined word “essential” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

C．The author does not think education is a most important thing in her life any more.

D．The author thinks that communicating with others is more important than education.

答案与解析：B'推理判断题。根据文章第二段的内容可知作者计划在继续学习的同时，做一份兼职来进一步提高自己适应社会的能力，故选B项。

3．Why does the author feel fearful that she will be of no use to society? A．Because she is unable to develop herself. B．Because studying takes up too much of her time. C．Because she does not know how to communicate with others. D．Because she feels that she is a failure.
