Florence Sephton is 77 and lives in Deganwy, North Wales. She is reading for an arts de-gree, "I’m more of a creature to polish my mind than polish my furniture. The house takes second place while I put the studying first. "
"I was very happy at school and had wonderful teaching. I passed the university entrance examination and was ready to go to university but with World War I went into banking. I was paid 1 pound a week. Manchester University kept my place open for three years but I was enjoying the money and the freedom so I turned it down. " Mrs. Sephton is now in the second year of her Open University course and is finding it hard work. She underestimates her ability. "I’m feeling tired more frequently. I can’t do more than an hour’s work at a time. The memory’s shocking. I’m supposed to be revising and I look up notes I did earlier this year and think, ’ Have you read this before?’ So I’m doing it very slowly—one credit a year, so it’ll take six years. "
"At the moment the greatest reward is simply the increase in knowledge—and the discipline. I had an essay failed this week. The professor said I hadn’t answered the question. I’ve been thinking about it all week. I know I haven’t got the facility for essay construction. I just let myself go and get excited. I feel more emotionally than I do mentally. I’m very ordinary really. "
Claiming to be ordinary and lazy, Mrs. Sephton is still working hard daily at her assignments. Mrs. Sephton sees her studies as keeping her fit and independent. "Because of my life I’ve been self-sufficient. It’s not a very nice characteristic. It means I don’t care enough about people. I can’t say I find comfort in what I’ll be learning, so I’ll be interested to see if there’s a life ahead. "
Florence says she isn’t a good essay-writer because______.
选项
A、the essay topics are difficult for her
B、she likes only a few of the topics
C、she’s not young enough
D、she finds it difficult to organize ideas properly
答案
D
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问弗洛伦斯说她的论文写不好的原因是什么。文章第三段指出,弗洛伦斯说:“目前最大的回报仅仅是增长知识及知识的陶冶。本周有一篇论文不及格。教授说我文不对题。对此我考虑了整整一周,方才搞明白,我对论文写作不得要领,只是由着性子跟着感觉写,我感到是多了感情,少了理智,我确实很平凡。”因此,本题的正确答案应是D,她发现自己总是由着性子跟着感觉写,即很难将文章主题组织得很恰当。
