根据对话情景和内容，从对话后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Americans use the term “college students” to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off to university” or “when I was in university. ”That sounds British.   小题1:  
College, university: what’s the difference?   小题2: . Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.
But many colleges do not offer graduate studies. Another difference is that universities are generally bigger.   小题3: 
Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities.
Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word “university” came from the Latin universities, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose.  小题4: . In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.
The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true.   小题5: . For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.
Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within a college or university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself.
A. A college can also be a part of a university.
B. There are more universities than colleges in the USA.
C. They offer more programs and do more research.
D. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning.
E. Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities.
F. Instead, they say “going off to college” and “when I was in college.”
G. Colleges and universities have many things in common.

小题5:A

解析

试题分析：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在美国大学和学院的区别和共同之处。
小题1:F考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据上文Americans almost never say “going off to university” or “when I was in university. ”可知，美国人几乎不说“going off to university” or “when I was in university. ”但是他们说，“going off to college” and “when I was in college.”。这是逻辑的衔接。不说……而说……。
小题2:G考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据后文Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.可知，谈得是两者的共同点。故选主题句G
小题3:C考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据前文But many colleges do not offer graduate studies.可知，college不提供进一步学习。而universities则提供更多的课程和研究。故选C。
小题4:D考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据前文The word “university” came from the Latin universities, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose.可知，前后对应都说各自的来源。故选D
小题5:A考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据后文的For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.可知选A。这是总说和分说的关系。
