Question

【題目】 What does it take to graduate from university? Some papers or high scores in exams? Well, these are not enough if you are a student at Tsinghua University.

According to a new rule of the university, students must prove themselves in the swimming pool. They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters, and those who fail the test will be required to take a swimming course throughout their school years. By the time they graduate, they will have known how to swim; otherwise they can't graduate with their bachelor's deegrs(學(xué)士學(xué)位).

The news made waves in Chinese social media(媒體). Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives, and they also believed that the rule would help improve students' health. However, others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities(內(nèi)陸城市） to be able to swim.

In fact, this is not a new rule. Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in 1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming.

Anyway, it is sill good news that Chinese students' health has become more and more valued.

Why not just take this chance to learn one more life-saving ability?

【3】B

【解析】

本文是一篇議論文。在清華大學(xué)要取得學(xué)士學(xué)位就必須通過游泳測試。這引起了媒體的熱議：一些人認(rèn)為這有助于改善學(xué)生的健康狀況，而另一些人則質(zhì)疑其對學(xué)生的公平性。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段以及第二段中的“They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters, …By the time they graduate, they will have known how to swim; otherwise they can't graduate with their bachelor's deegrs(學(xué)士學(xué)位). ”可知，A、B和C項都是學(xué)生畢業(yè)需要的條件。故選D。

【2】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“Some people praised the university…However, others questioned…”可以推知，這則消息在媒體上引起了熱議。因此made waves是“引起熱議”的意思，即：caused a heated discussion。故選A。

【3】

主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，文章介紹了清華大學(xué)的一項新的畢業(yè)規(guī)則。故選B。
