1. On your journey, there are some healthy active transport options, for example cycling.
Active transport benefits
*It's a convenient and practical way to incorporate （并入） regular exercise into your day.
*Cycling to your stop or station helps to reduce your carbon footprint.
*The cost of buying and maintaining a bicycle is around 1% of the cost of buying and maintaining a car.
*It provides an opportunity to socialize with people in your local community.
*Cycling provides commuters （通勤者） with economical and efficient access to public transport services. On average, 10 times more households are within cycling distance of public transport than they are within walking distance.
Taking your bike on the train
You can take your bike on the train on weekdays, except during the following peak times:
*7 a.m.﹣9: 30 a.m. towards the CBD （Central Business District）;
*3 p.m.﹣6: 30 p. m. outwards from the CBD;
*at any time during weekends and public holidays.
Note: You can travel in the opposite direction during the specified peak times above.
To avoid travelling during peak times, you must complete your morning journey by 7 a.m. towards the CBD and afternoon journey by 3 p.m. outwards from the CBD.
During peak hours, bikes cannot be brought through Fortitude Valley, Central or Roma Street stations. If you travel with a bike during peak times, you may be asked to leave the train until peak time ends.
Bike storage facilities
Bike facilities offer greater flexibility as you can cycle to a station and securely park your bike before continuing your journey on public transport. Queensland Rail and the City of Gold Coast also offer a number of bicycle storage facilities across our network. You can book a bike locker by emailing us at bikelockerqueries@ translink. com. au.

2. Nobody likes to fail. It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged. What's worse, it may cause major professional or personal trouble and lead to negativity. Basically, failure is no fun for most people. However, a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop, increases adaptability, and helps protect against anxiety.
It's hard to change the mindset （心态） of a lifetime. But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong, it might not be too late for our kids.
Christy Pennison, a professional consultant, says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure. She said, "We want to protect our children, and we want them to live happy and meaningful lives, so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure. The children experiencing internal and sometimes extenal pressure think they shouldn't fail. Meanwhile, we always have high expectations of them. So when they don't live up to a certain standard, or things don't go according to the plans, they will feel upset and anxious."
Pennison argues that failures, are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities, like persistence, focus, flexibility, patience, and positive self﹣image.
So what can parents do to help their children embrace （拥抱） failure instead of avoiding it at all costs? Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort, not the result. "This allows children to build confidence in themselves, "she explains." Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without a fear of failure. And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset ﹣'I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.'﹣helps them keep a belief in themselves, and expands their world of possibilities." As Pennison points out, we all fail, but how we get up after we fail is what matters.
21.What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure？
A. The great courage to face it.
B. The efforts made to handle it.
C. Unexpected benefits it brings.
D. Unpleasant side effects it brings.．
22.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2？
A. Bring up the main topic.
B. List the challenges in our life.
C. Add some background information.
D. Stress the importance of the mindset．
23.What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph？
A. The causes of children's anxiety.
B. Christy Pennison's comments on adolescents.
C. The consequences of overprotecting children.
D. Christy Pennison's experience in educating children.．
24.Which of the following advice can help parents encourage kids to face failure？________①Praise kids' every achievement.
②Make kids embrace a bright mindset.
③Focus on the process of kids' effort
④Expand kids' knowledge about the world.
⑤Encourage kids to make new attempts.
A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ②③⑤ D. ①③⑤．
3. New App Helps People Remember Faces
Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people's names only adds to the stress. A new facial﹣recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.
The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. "It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody, " says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1, 000 people.
After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person's name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users' data after an event.
Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app's creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that "there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you."
The start﹣up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or "face blindness, " a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone's face, from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user's phone, according to the team behind the app.
（1）SocialRecall is used to________.
A. take photos B. identify people
C. organize events D. make friends．
（2）Paragraph 3 is mainly about________.
A. how the app works
B. how the app was created
C. what makes the app popular
D. what people can do with the app．
（3）SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by________.
A. giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones
B. collecting information previously entered in the phone
C. providing the information of a person when they first meet
D. showing the person's information when it spots a stored face．
（4）What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage？________
A. It may put people's privacy at risk.
B. It has caused unintended consequences.
C. It can prevent some communication disorders.
D. It is praised by users for its protective measures.．
4. GOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mind﹣broadening experience. That statement is probably made in comparison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of Tübingen, in Germany, thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post﹣school years in vocational （职业的） training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them.
Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2, 095 German youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness（认真）and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realistic, investigative and enterprising. They administered both tests twice﹣once towards the end of each volunteer's time at school, and then again six years later. Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University ________ 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.
When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not changed significantly. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either﹣except in one crucial respect. They had become more conscientious.
That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of lazybones. But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers.
Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed beyond the degreeless. But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, computer programmers and finance﹣sector workers as careers requiring these traits. If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people's choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.
（1）Which of the following can best replace "beckoned for" in Paragraph 2？________
A. Examined. B. Attracted. C. Organized. D. Recognized.．
（2）What can we learn from the research？________
A. The degreeless have not changed in personalities.
B. Going to university is a mind﹣broadening experience.
C. Working straight after school narrows people's minds.
D. College students pride themselves on their education.．
（3）According to the last two paragraphs，________.
A. college students enjoy a very good public image
B. the undergraduates have changed significantly in attitude
C. the degreeless are much better at dealing with challenging tasks
D. people show less interest in investigative jobs due to vocational training．
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the finding？________
A.Concerned. B.Optimistic. C.Unclear. D. Sceptical.．
第二节（共1小题，满分10分）根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Mystery of Evolution
Following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia（NCP）， also named COVID﹣19 by WHO， there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever， coughing， sore throat， difficulty breathing﹣the NCP's symptoms are similar to the common cold or the flu. but it's potentially more dangerous.
Viruses could be deadly， like HIV and Ebola （埃博拉） . But what are viruses？ How can they cause so much trouble？ Viruses are non﹣living organisms （有机体） approximately one﹣millionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria， they can't reproduce on their own.（1）_______
Viruses can infect every living thing﹣from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria. For this reason， they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life. Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections cause no noticeable reaction. Viruses lie around our environment all of the time， waiting for a host cell to come along. They can eater our bodies by the nose， mouth， eyes or breaks in the skin.（2）_______For example， HIV， which causes AIDS. attacks the T﹣cells of the immune system.
But the basic question is， where did viruses first come from？（3）_______"Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult. " Ed Rybicki， a virologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa， told Scientific American， "because viruses don't leave fossils （化石） and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they've invaded."（4）_______First， viruses started as independent organisms， then became parasites （寄生者） . Second. viruses evolved from pieces of DNA or RNA that "escaped" from larger organisms. Third， viruses co﹣evolved with their host cells， which means they existed alongside these cells.
For the time being， these are only theories. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most plausible explanation. （5）_______ Or future studies may reveal that the answer is even murkier （含糊不清的） than it now appears.
A. Once inside， they try to find a host cell to infect.
B. Until now， no clear explanation for their origin exists.
C. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers.
D. There's pretty strong evidence that this is a bat origin coronavirus.
E. However， there are three main hypotheses （假说） to explain the origin of viruses.
F. Instead， they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce， spread and take over.
G. Bat is a flying mammal with a long lifespan， whose temperature is high， similar to a fever.

Senior Three student will face the question after they pass by the college entrance examination. "Should I choose a good major and a good university？" Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn which they are interested in. It will also make it possible for them take their favorite jobs in the future. However, those who think differently believes that the environment is important to one's development. They also believe that students graduate from leading universities are often more likely to find good jobs. In my opinion, a best choice is to choose a good major at a good university. But if they can't obtain both, the first thing to consider was a good major. Because no matter where they study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if they try their best.

2. Nobody likes to fail. It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged. What's worse, it may cause major professional or personal trouble and lead to negativity. Basically, failure is no fun for most people. However, a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop, increases adaptability, and helps protect against anxiety.
It's hard to change the mindset （心态） of a lifetime. But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong, it might not be too late for our kids.
Christy Pennison, a professional consultant, says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure. She said, "We want to protect our children, and we want them to live happy and meaningful lives, so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure. The children experiencing internal and sometimes extenal pressure think they shouldn't fail. Meanwhile, we always have high expectations of them. So when they don't live up to a certain standard, or things don't go according to the plans, they will feel upset and anxious."
Pennison argues that failures, are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities, like persistence, focus, flexibility, patience, and positive self﹣image.
So what can parents do to help their children embrace （拥抱） failure instead of avoiding it at all costs? Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort, not the result. "This allows children to build confidence in themselves, "she explains." Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without a fear of failure. And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset ﹣'I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.'﹣helps them keep a belief in themselves, and expands their world of possibilities." As Pennison points out, we all fail, but how we get up after we fail is what matters.
21.What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure？
A. The great courage to face it.
B. The efforts made to handle it.
C. Unexpected benefits it brings.
D. Unpleasant side effects it brings.．
22.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2？
A. Bring up the main topic.
B. List the challenges in our life.
C. Add some background information.
D. Stress the importance of the mindset．
23.What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph？
A. The causes of children's anxiety.
B. Christy Pennison's comments on adolescents.
C. The consequences of overprotecting children.
D. Christy Pennison's experience in educating children.．
24.Which of the following advice can help parents encourage kids to face failure？________①Praise kids' every achievement.
②Make kids embrace a bright mindset.
③Focus on the process of kids' effort
④Expand kids' knowledge about the world.
⑤Encourage kids to make new attempts.
A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ②③⑤ D. ①③⑤．
3. New App Helps People Remember Faces
Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people's names only adds to the stress. A new facial﹣recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.
The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. "It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody, " says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1, 000 people.
After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person's name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users' data after an event.
Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app's creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that "there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you."
The start﹣up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or "face blindness, " a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone's face, from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user's phone, according to the team behind the app.
（1）SocialRecall is used to________.
A. take photos B. identify people
C. organize events D. make friends．
（2）Paragraph 3 is mainly about________.
A. how the app works
B. how the app was created
C. what makes the app popular
D. what people can do with the app．
（3）SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by________.
A. giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones
B. collecting information previously entered in the phone
C. providing the information of a person when they first meet
D. showing the person's information when it spots a stored face．
（4）What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage？________
A. It may put people's privacy at risk.
B. It has caused unintended consequences.
C. It can prevent some communication disorders.
D. It is praised by users for its protective measures.．
4. GOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mind﹣broadening experience. That statement is probably made in comparison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of Tübingen, in Germany, thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post﹣school years in vocational （职业的） training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them.
Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2, 095 German youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness（认真）and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realistic, investigative and enterprising. They administered both tests twice﹣once towards the end of each volunteer's time at school, and then again six years later. Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University ________ 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.
When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not changed significantly. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either﹣except in one crucial respect. They had become more conscientious.
That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of lazybones. But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers.
Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed beyond the degreeless. But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, computer programmers and finance﹣sector workers as careers requiring these traits. If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people's choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.
（1）Which of the following can best replace "beckoned for" in Paragraph 2？________
A. Examined. B. Attracted. C. Organized. D. Recognized.．
（2）What can we learn from the research？________
A. The degreeless have not changed in personalities.
B. Going to university is a mind﹣broadening experience.
C. Working straight after school narrows people's minds.
D. College students pride themselves on their education.．
（3）According to the last two paragraphs，________.
A. college students enjoy a very good public image
B. the undergraduates have changed significantly in attitude
C. the degreeless are much better at dealing with challenging tasks
D. people show less interest in investigative jobs due to vocational training．
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the finding？________
A.Concerned. B.Optimistic. C.Unclear. D. Sceptical.．

Mystery of Evolution
Following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia（NCP）， also named COVID﹣19 by WHO， there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever， coughing， sore throat， difficulty breathing﹣the NCP's symptoms are similar to the common cold or the flu. but it's potentially more dangerous.
Viruses could be deadly， like HIV and Ebola （埃博拉） . But what are viruses？ How can they cause so much trouble？ Viruses are non﹣living organisms （有机体） approximately one﹣millionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria， they can't reproduce on their own.（1）_______
Viruses can infect every living thing﹣from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria. For this reason， they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life. Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections cause no noticeable reaction. Viruses lie around our environment all of the time， waiting for a host cell to come along. They can eater our bodies by the nose， mouth， eyes or breaks in the skin.（2）_______For example， HIV， which causes AIDS. attacks the T﹣cells of the immune system.
But the basic question is， where did viruses first come from？（3）_______"Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult. " Ed Rybicki， a virologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa， told Scientific American， "because viruses don't leave fossils （化石） and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they've invaded."（4）_______First， viruses started as independent organisms， then became parasites （寄生者） . Second. viruses evolved from pieces of DNA or RNA that "escaped" from larger organisms. Third， viruses co﹣evolved with their host cells， which means they existed alongside these cells.
For the time being， these are only theories. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most plausible explanation. （5）_______ Or future studies may reveal that the answer is even murkier （含糊不清的） than it now appears.
A. Once inside， they try to find a host cell to infect.
B. Until now， no clear explanation for their origin exists.
C. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers.
D. There's pretty strong evidence that this is a bat origin coronavirus.
E. However， there are three main hypotheses （假说） to explain the origin of viruses.
F. Instead， they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce， spread and take over.
G. Bat is a flying mammal with a long lifespan， whose temperature is high， similar to a fever.

【答案】
Senior Three student will face the question after they pass by the college entrance examination. "Should I choose a good major and a good university？" Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn which they are interested in. It will also make it possible for them ∧take their favorite jobs in the future. However, those who think differently believes that the environment is important to one's development. They also believe that students graduate from leading universities are often more likely to find good jobs. In my opinion, a best choice is to choose a good major at a good university. But if they can't obtain both, the first thing to consider was a good major. Because no matter where they study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if they try their best.
详1．student改为students.考查名词单复数．句意：高三学生通过高考后会面临这样一个问题："我应该选择一个好的专业还是一个好的大学？" student"学生"是可数名词，此处应用复数形式表泛指，故将student改为students.
2．去掉by.考查及物动词．句意：高三学生通过高考后会面临这样一个问题："我应该选择一个好的专业还是一个好的大学？"pass by"路过、经过"，分析语境可知，此处，动词pass的含义是"通过"，及物动词，后面直接带宾语，不需要加介词．故去掉by.
3．and改为or.考查连词．句意：高三学生通过高考后会面临这样一个问题："我应该选择一个好的专业还是一个好的大学？"a good major与a good university之间是选择关系，不是并列关系，应用连词or连接，故将and改为or.
4．which改为 what.考查宾语从句．句意：有些学生喜欢先考虑专业，这样他们就能学到他们感兴趣的东西．动词learn后面接宾语从句，连接词作介词in的宾语．which表示特定事物中的"哪一个（些）"，此处表示泛指的事物，意思是"所……的事物"，应用连接代词what.故将which改为what.
5．take前加to.考查不定式．句意：这也有助于他们将来有可能找到自己喜欢的工作．本句中，it作形式宾语，代替后面的不定式短语，不定式符号to不可省略，故在take前加to.
6．believes改为believe.考查主谓一致．句意：然而，那些想法不同的人认为环境对一个人的发展很重要．定语从句中，关系代词who指代先行词those作主语，those这里指"那些人"，谓语动词应用动词原形，故将believes改为believe.
7．graduate改为graduating.考查现在分词．句意：他们也认为从名牌大学毕业的学生往往更容易找到好工作．that引导的宾语从句中，主语是students,谓语部分是are often more likely to find good jobs,所以graduate为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词students,且与被修饰词之间为主动关系，应用现在分词形式，故将graduate改为graduating.
8．a改为 the.考查冠词．句意：在我看来，最好的选择是在一所好大学选择一个好的专业．形容词最高级best前应加定冠词the.故将a改为the.
9．was改为 is.考查时态．句意：但如果他们不能同时得到这两个，首先要考虑的是一个好的专业．本文整体时态为现在时，结合条件状语从句中的时态信息，此处应用一般现在时，故将was改为is.
10．we改为 they.考查人称代词．句意：因为无论他们在哪里学习，只要他们尽力，他们仍然可以在某个领域取得很多成就．本文主要是针对高三学生高考后面临的选择好学校还是好专业的问题提出建议，整体上用了第三人称复数，此处应与前文一致，故将we改为they.

It will also make it possible for them ∧take their favorite jobs in the future. However, those who think differently believes that the environment is important to one's development. They also believe that students graduate from leading universities are often more likely to find good jobs. In my opinion, a best choice is to choose a good major at a good university. But if they can't obtain both, the first thing to consider was a good major. Because no matter where they study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if they try their best.
详1．student改为students.考查名词单复数．句意：高三学生通过高考后会面临这样一个问题："我应该选择一个好的专业还是一个好的大学？" student"学生"是可数名词，此处应用复数形式表泛指，故将student改为students.
2．去掉by.考查及物动词．句意：高三学生通过高考后会面临这样一个问题："我应该选择一个好的专业还是一个好的大学？"pass by"路过、经过"，分析语境可知，此处，动词pass的含义是"通过"，及物动词，后面直接带宾语，不需要加介词．故去掉by.
3．and改为or.考查连词．句意：高三学生通过高考后会面临这样一个问题："我应该选择一个好的专业还是一个好的大学？"a good major与a good university之间是选择关系，不是并列关系，应用连词or连接，故将and改为or.
4．which改为 what.考查宾语从句．句意：有些学生喜欢先考虑专业，这样他们就能学到他们感兴趣的东西．动词learn后面接宾语从句，连接词作介词in的宾语．which表示特定事物中的"哪一个（些）"，此处表示泛指的事物，意思是"所……的事物"，应用连接代词what.故将which改为what.
5．take前加to.考查不定式．句意：这也有助于他们将来有可能找到自己喜欢的工作．本句中，it作形式宾语，代替后面的不定式短语，不定式符号to不可省略，故在take前加to.
6．believes改为believe.考查主谓一致．句意：然而，那些想法不同的人认为环境对一个人的发展很重要．定语从句中，关系代词who指代先行词those作主语，those这里指"那些人"，谓语动词应用动词原形，故将believes改为believe.
7．graduate改为graduating.考查现在分词．句意：他们也认为从名牌大学毕业的学生往往更容易找到好工作．that引导的宾语从句中，主语是students,谓语部分是are often more likely to find good jobs,所以graduate为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词students,且与被修饰词之间为主动关系，应用现在分词形式，故将graduate改为graduating.
8．a改为 the.考查冠词．句意：在我看来，最好的选择是在一所好大学选择一个好的专业．形容词最高级best前应加定冠词the.故将a改为the.
9．was改为 is.考查时态．句意：但如果他们不能同时得到这两个，首先要考虑的是一个好的专业．本文整体时态为现在时，结合条件状语从句中的时态信息，此处应用一般现在时，故将was改为is.
10．we改为 they.考查人称代词．句意：因为无论他们在哪里学习，只要他们尽力，他们仍然可以在某个领域取得很多成就．本文主要是针对高三学生高考后面临的选择好学校还是好专业的问题提出建议，整体上用了第三人称复数，此处应与前文一致，故将we改为they.
