the past two decades，however，continued connection with and dependence on family，thanks to cell phones，email and social media，have increased significantly.Some parents go so far as to help with coursework.Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility，universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility，college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation.This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually (在思维方面) and personally.While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges，we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views.Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning.
Learning to deal with the social world is equally important.Because a college community (群体) differs from the family，many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging.If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern，they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.
Moreover，the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults：the response to being controlled by their elders.If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined (规定) and controlled，the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.
It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out，particularly when there are reasons to do so.Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency.What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents' desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world.Therefore，there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.
Every college discussion about community values，social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation，of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。大学生走出了家门，还没有进入社会，因此他们的大学时期应该是从受家庭庇护到拥有自主性和承担起成年人的职责的一个过渡时期。但是随着手机等社交传媒的应用，大学生依旧受到家庭的管制和庇护。作者针对这一问题发表了自己的看法，探讨了校方应该如何处理。 7．What's the author's attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?
A．Sympathetic. B．Disapproving. C．Supportive. D．Neutral.
B [考查推理判断。第一段中作者提到大学期间应该让学生培养自主性，让他们向成年人的身份转变，但是如今的大学生没有肩负起成年人的职责；第二段中作者分析了原因，指出这是因为家长在孩子读大学之后还通过手机、邮件等方式帮助上大学的子女，结果，大学就成了与家庭一样的环境。由此可推知，作者对于这种现象是不赞成的，故选B项。] 8．The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means ．
A．change B．choice C．text D．extension
A [考查词义猜测。根据画线词所在句子的前后语境可知，此处指把大学阶段作为从受到家庭的庇护到拥有自主性和担负起成年人职责的“转变”，故选A项change。]
9．According to the author，what role should college play?
A．To develop a shared identity among students. B．To define and regulate students' social behavior. C．To provide a safe world without tension for students. D．To foster students' intellectual and personal development.
D [考查细节理解。根据第三段内容可知，大学教育应该尝试新的方法培养学生在思维方面和个性方面的发展，故D项正确。由第四段内容可知，学生如果依靠管理方来规范他们的社交行为和思维模式，就不能面对在一个更大和复杂的社交环境中寻找自己的身份带来的挑战，故排除A项(应该是鼓励他们finding an identity)；由第五段内容可知，大学监管和塑造学生的行为表现会引起学生的反感，故排除B项；最后一段说，大学在社会价值、风尚和行为规范方面的讨论应该包括对学生自治和自我规范的发展的重要
性的认识、对安全和自我发现之间必要的紧张关系的认识，故排除C项。] 10．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?
I：Introduction P：Point Sp：Sub-point(次要点)C：Conclusion C [考查文章结构。通读全文可知，第一、二段起到以目前大学教育现状导入的作用，第三段是第一个主要点(大学教育应该尝试新的方法培养学生在思维方面和个性方面的发展)，第四段是第二个主要点(培养学生的社会实践能力)，第五、六段是第二个主要点的次要点，第七段是结论(大学探讨应该包括意识到培养学生自主性、自我规范等方面的重要性)。]
