📖 題組：
By most standards, Austin Jia holds an enviable position. A rising sophomore at Duke, Mr. Jia attends one of the top universities in the country, setting him up for success. With his high G.P.A., nearly perfect SAT score and activities — debate team, tennis captain and state orchestra — Mr. Jia believes he should have had a fair shot at Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania. However, those Ivy League colleges rejected him after he applied in the fall of 2015. It was particularly disturbing, Mr. Jia said, when classmates with lower scores than his — but who were not Asian-American, like him — were admitted to those Ivy League institutions. “My gut reaction was that I was super disillusioned by how the whole system was set up,” Mr. Jia, said. Students like Mr. Jia are now the subject of a lawsuit accusing Harvard of discriminating against Asian-Americans in admissions by imposing a penalty for their high achievement and giving preferences to other racial minorities.

同學這題選得非常精準，恭喜你順利拿分！這類題目在地方特考的英文閱讀中，屬於相對直觀且必須把握的「細節檢索題」。在文章中，我們可以透過關鍵字快速定位到這句話："...he should have had a fair shot at Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania." 這段文字明確列出了 Austin Jia 當初申請的四所長春藤盟校。
關鍵細節的交叉比對
對比題目選項，(A) Columbia、(B) Harvard、(C) Princeton 均出現在文章所述的申請名單之中，唯獨 (D) Yale (耶魯大學) 雖然同為知名的長春藤盟校，但在文中完全沒有提到他曾向該校遞交申請。答題時，只要冷靜地將選項與內文提到的校名逐一比對，就能迅速揪出正確答案。
