解析试题分析:这篇阅读材料涉及四所学校的招生广告,都是关于英语学习的。浏览后面的题目,根据其具体要求就能选择出适合于自己的学校。
【小题1】细节理解题。既然“每天从上午9:00工作至下午4:30,连周末都工作,那么只能选择晚上有课程的学校了。”,那么在这四所学校中只有Global English Center和The International House设有晚间课程。不难判断B为正确答案。
【小题2】细节理解题。21世纪英语培训中心与众不同之处是需要进行Entrance exams (入学考试),这一点在其他三所学校的广告中均未谈及;而其它如“教学质量好”、“离市中心近”等,在另外三所学校的广告中也可以见到。因此D为正确答案。
【小题3】细节理解题。 “你也许喜欢去International House的原因”可以从广告前言和广告本身中得知。前言中说,“你现在正在找地方提高英语,特别是口语”,而The International House的广告中说“提供四个月的口语能力训练课程”,因此,只有a special course in spoken English才是最吸引你的,而不是“观光、社会活动或价格便宜”。故B为正确答案。
【小题4】计算题。广告中说“每周12小时60元”,那么一个月四周要近千元。故D为正确答案。
考点:考查广告布告类短文
点评:这是四则广告,文章属于信息筛选类短文,有四个关于英语文化的知识,可以很快找到关键处,在解答这类问题时要求学生抓住题干文字信息,采用针对性方法进行阅读,答案在文章中可以直接找到。
Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting (融化) snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip(滑) across the road.
Rule No.1 for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly (平稳地). Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So every time you either start or stop your car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill (溅) it.
Rule No.2 is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow than usual, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all time and you will not get into trouble.
【小题1】The writer tries to _____ in this passage.
A.show his dislikes about bad winter weather |
B.give information about winter weather |
C.ask people not to drive in winter |
D.advise people about safe driving in winter |
A.people should not drive in the snow |
B.drivers should think more about problems in winter driving |
C.people drive too fast in winter |
D.winter drivers should stop their cars less |
A.to show how important smooth movements are |
B.to ask the drivers to bring some soft drinks with them |
C.to tell the drivers to be more relaxed |
D.to show how it can be spilled |
A.Traffic accidents take place easily in winter. |
B.Fog and melting snow often cause car accidents. |
C.The stopping distance on ice is as long as the usual one. |
D.In winter you should drive your car with great care. |
