Study Habits
In college in any class, you will find widely different types of people, not only in personality but also in scholastic attitude. This same range from one extreme to the other can also be observed in their study habits. In fact, students can be divided into distinct groups based on their study habits. There are basically three categories: the perpetual studier, the average studier, and the crammer.
The perpetual studier is a rare breed indeed. But they exist and they aren’t very hard to
spot
. They usually sit in the front of the class and write about three pages of notes a day regardless of how much material the instructor covers. They don’t talk to anyone except to answer questions, and that only at the end of class when the lecture is over. When a perpetual studier goes home, before he does anything else, he takes out all his books and begins studying for the classes that he has the next day. He studies until really late at night, stopping only once or twice for a quick snack. When he is informed that he has a test, he will begin preparing for it at least five days in advance unless, of course, he is told less than five days prior to the test, in which case he will study until he has covered all the notes he has at least ten times or until he knows the material backwards and forwards. Although the perpetual studier does well in school, he usually misses out on social life. There are a selected few who maintain something of a social life, but this is rare. Most of them never meet new people except in situations where they are forced to, such as meeting their roommates at the start of school. However, they will graduate with a 4. 0 grade point average and be successful in life—as long as they don’t choose careers that require many social skills.
The majority of students fall into a category that I refer to as the average studier. This person studies sufficiently but doesn’t work more than necessary. When he studies for a test, he will
look over
the notes taken, reread appropriate pages in the textbook, and study with a friend sometimes. Overall, he may put in anywhere from two to six hours a day studying during the week leaving Friday and Saturday for his social life and then spend from four to eight hours studying on Sunday. The average studier takes his education seriously and will study with friends much more often than will the perpetual studier. He will have a good time getting an education. For him the line between education and having a good time is a lot thinner than with the perpetual studier. The average studier will leave college with at least a solid education and will be much more socially adept than the perpetual studier.
The third type of studier is the crammer.(A)
This type of person studies only when the threat of taking that class over is very great. When he studies for a test, he doesn’t begin until the night before or the morning of the test.(B)
It amazes me how people like this manage to get by with the extremely small amount of studying they do, but somehow
they do
.(C)
Their homework is last on their list of things to do. If they are bored and they are on a borderline D, they might do some homework. But before they do such a deed, they will
rack
their brains trying to think of something else to do.(D)
It is amazing to watch a crammer trying to avoid doing homework. Cleaning the room even takes precedence over homework not to mention sleep.
The crammers are easily recognized in any classroom. They sit in the place farthest from the teacher, and they usually group together. They seem to have the attitude that they are in class to do nothing but have a good time and attract attention. They enjoy disrupting class, and if left alone they will infect a classroom much like cancer infects a body. They are the teachers’ nightmares, and there is always at least one in every class. But at the very last minute before the axe falls, so to speak—they will hit the books. Although some of the crammers won’t last for four years, most of them will graduate. They will leave college, though, with little education and few social skills.
The word
rack
in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to______.
选项
A、injure
B、sprain
C、strain
D、distress
答案
C
解析
本题是词汇题,考查考生能否根据上下文理解单词rack的意义。第四段说到临时抱佛脚的学生在做作业之前,总是要先做好多别的事情,而且后面也提到这类学生逃避做作业的手段简直超乎想象,我们可以判断rack在“they will rack their brain trying to think…”一句中的词义是“绞尽脑汁”,所以与选项C(使劲,努力)意思相近,选项C为该题的正确答案。而选项A(受损)、B(扭伤)和D(悲痛)都是干扰项。
