Question

【题目】 You might take a car, a bus, or a bike to school. But in Bangladesh, instead of waiting for a school bus to come down their street, many students wait for a school boat to come down the river. That’s right—these students attend school on a boat!

Bangladesh is very close to sea level.____ 【1】_____ The flooding creates many problems. For the nearly 160 million people living there, the periodic flooding means that they are often unable to access roads, electricity, or telephones.

Growing up in Bangladesh, Mohammed Rezwan was often troubled by the destruction. In 1998 he founded an organization called Shidhulai. The name means “self-reliance .” The purpose of the organization is to help the people of Bangladesh receive an education and also to bring technology and an improved quality of life to poor people in remote areas of the country. In 2002, Rezwan began transforming boats into schools. Each boat was built to house between 30 and 35 students. _______【2】_______The only difference was that they floated on a river.

______【3】_____ Today Rezwan and his organization operate 88 boats in northern Bangladesh. About half the boats are used as schools, and the other half are used as temporary houses during the flood season. In addition to the schools and the temporary housing, there are also a floating technology and training center, a library that allows students to check out books, and a health-care center. The school boats travel along the rivers and pick up students for classes that include computer technology, agriculture, and human rights.

At night the boats provide additional learning opportunities for students and adults. ______【4】______ They study using solar lamps that are charged during the day at stations near the river. Special equipment on the boats also projects lessons onto big screens made from sailcloth. People can come down to the riverbank to watch films. In all, these boats help educate close to 90,000 families in Bangladesh.

By floating down the rivers, the school boats provide more than books. ____【5】______ “This ‘library’ boat inspired me,” said 18-year-old student Shanto Islam, who enjoys reading science fiction books. “I started to dream.” Islam now wants to attend a university.

A. The boats had everything you might find in a regular classroom.

B. Parents living in the area are happy to have the boats.

C. These boats have been a great success.

D. Both of them can attend evening courses.

E. He did not want to design houses, though.

F. For this reason the land is flooded for five months of every year.

G. They also deliver knowledge, opportunity, and hope to all generations.

【解析】

试题分析:本文介绍了孟加拉的一种特殊的教学方式---校船。因为孟加拉国地势较低，因此每年中有五个月孟加拉都会受到洪水的影响。因此在孟加拉长大的Mohammed Rezwan创办了一个组织，这个组织提供了这种新式的船上学校。

【1】F 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句介绍孟加拉国地势较低，接近海平面；后句内容提到洪水泛滥造成的问题，由此判断空格内容提到了洪水问题，而F选项内容For this reason the land is flooded for five months of every year.恰好符合语境，起到承接作用，故选F。

【2】A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。后句提到唯一的不同，由此可知这种船上的学校和陆地上的学校基本相同，判断A选项The boats had everything you might find in a regular classroom.符合语境。

【3】C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段介绍了这种船上学校的普遍使用，由此判断这是成功的，故C选项These boats have been a great success.可以起到统领本段的作用，选C。

【4】D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句介绍船上学校晚上能给学生和成年人提供额外的学习机会，而D选项Both of them can attend evening courses. 恰好是对上句的进一步解释，故选D。

【5】G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句提到这种校船不仅仅提供课本，从而推断后句内容应涉及提供的其他方面，而G选项They also deliver knowledge, opportunity, and hope to all generations是介绍校船给人们带来的好处，also是信息词，故选G。
