　　导师点评

　　本文主要围绕“我为什么要上大学?”这一话题展开讨论，首先介绍了教育对人发展的重要性，然后说明大学在教育中的地位，从而层次分明地解释了上大学的原因。

　　答案简析

　　1. C。such常用在不定冠词或名词前修饰可数名词或不可数名词，表示“此类的”、“这种的”，故such为正确选项。

　　2. A。come up with意为“提出、找出”;agree with意为“同意”;be fed up with意为“对……厌倦”;get on well with意为“和……相处得好”。根据文意A为正确选项。

　　3. B。上文讲到我曾找到过各种各样的原因，其中最重要的原因应当是……，因此这里应用important的最高级，故选the most。

　　4. D。固定结构be different from 表示“不同于……”。

　　5. A。本段着重说明了教育在人的发展中的作用，以及大学在教育中的地位。作为总括句，本空应填education。

　　6. C。这是一个含有条件状语从句的复合句，意为“如果我不能受到更高等的教育，我就无法完成我的学业”，故选will not finish为正确选择。

　　7. B。这里只能选可作定语的选项。过去分词developed表示“成熟的”，为正确选项。

　　8. D。大学应是提供高等教育的地方, provide符合文意为正确选项。

　　9. B。介词among可表示”包括……在内”为正确选项。

　　10. C。与前半句相对应，这里仍应用比较级，而may better意思不对，因此be able to better为正确选项。
