问题      Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.
     Each course that the student follows is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules must appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.
America university students are usually under pressure of work because _______.
选项 A、their academic performance will affect their future careers
B、they are heavily involved in student affairs
C、they have to observe university discipline
D、they want to run for positions of authority
答案A
解析 文章第二段首句“Each course…to prospective employers”即学生上的每门课程都会给一个等级并被记录下来，这份记录将出示给将来的雇主。所以A “他们的学术表现将会影响他们的就业”是美国大学生经常处于工作压力之下的原因。
