Question

Having just quit a highly moneymaking job with tech giant Microsoft in the United States，where he’d made millions working as a program manager，Patrick Awuah would wake up once in a while wondering if he’d done the right thing．
What Awuah wanted was to create a university in his native Ghana．a state-of-the-art education centre that would help educate the country’s next generation of leaders．Awuah moved with his family back to Ghana．There，he invested his own money and with the help of other donors he founded Ashesi University．
“Africa needs to have a renaissance(復興),” says Awuah as he explained what drove him to take the risky decision．“The world needs to change in this way and I strongly believe that people like me need to be part of the solution；I need to be really actively involved in helping to drive this change in Africa‘‘
Located about an hour's drive from the capital Accra，Ashesi，which appropriately translates to “beginning,” is the first Ghanaian university to combine technical majors with a liberal arts approach．Its campus，set on 100 acres in a town called Berekuso，was designed to be inspiring for the more than 500 young Ghanaians studying there．
“So when I look at universities I see Africa fast—forward 30 years．When this 20-year-old is now in his or her 50s，that person is going to be a leader．”
Today Ashesi，which celebrates its 10^th anniversary this year，offers degrees in business，information systems and computer science．There are plans to offer engineering and economics majors in the near future．The school’s graduation rate is between 70％and 90％，according to Awuah．
In our last freshman class，50％ of the students paid full tuition(學費)，25％were on full scholarships and 25％on partial scholarships ,”he said．“The reason why variety is so important is that the most important conversation on campus is a conversation about the good society—what is the good society we would like to see in Africa? That conversation is a lot more interesting if you have variety in the classroom，”adds Awuah．

試題分析：文章介紹了帕特里克·瓦放棄微軟年薪百萬的工作，為了非洲發展，為了培養領導人才，在其他捐助者幫助下在家鄉加納創立了阿什西大學。文章同時也介紹了大學的位置、學位設置以及收費標準等內容。
小題1:推理題：根據文章第五段“‘So when I look at universities I see Africa fast—forward 30 years．When this 20-year-old is now in his or her 50s，that person is going to be a leader．’”所以當我看著大學時我就看到了向前快速發展30年的非洲。當這些20歲的年輕人到他或她50歲時，這個人會成為領導者。故選C。
小題2:推理題：根據第一段內容可知帕特里克·瓦辭去了微軟公司年薪百萬的項目經理工作，有時睡醒時他會想這個決定是否正確。由此可知有時他也在懷疑自己的決定是否正確。故選B。
小題3:細節題：根據文章第六段中“which celebrates its 10^th anniversary this year，”今年是學校十周年慶典。由此可知學校成立了十年了。故選A。
小題4:細節題：根據第六段中“offers degrees in business，information systems and computer science．”提供商學、信息系統和計算機科技三個學位，因此A錯誤；根據第一段中“where he’d made millions working as a program manager”在那他是一個年薪百萬的項目經理。故選B正確；在最后一段中“25％were on full scholarships ”百分之二十五的學生享受全額獎學金，因此C錯誤；根據第二段最后一句“he invested his own money and with the help of other donors he founded Ashesi University．”他用自己的錢和捐助者的錢創立了阿什西大學，因此D錯誤。故選B。
