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 never took up her place at Manchester University because______.
选项
A、she was obliged to work
B、she wasn’t interested in that university
C、she no longer wanted to study
D、she was happy with her job
答案
D
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问弗洛伦斯从未去曼彻斯特大学就读的原因是什么。利用查阅式阅读法,我们可以在文章的第二段中找到相关信息。这段指出,“想当年我的学校生活很愉快,很喜欢所学的课程。我通过了大学人学考试并准备去上大学,但是却爆发了第一次世界大战,我便在银行找了份工作,每周拿一英镑的薪水。曼彻斯特大学为我保留了3年学籍,但是,我喜欢挣钱和工作的自由,于是便放弃了这个机会。”因此,本题的正确答案应是D“她对自己的工作很满意”。
