Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．D;3．C;4．C;
提示：

(1)	推理判断题。根据第一段第三句和第四句得知：每门课程每周上3节共上15周，每学期每个学生可能学习4～5门课程，所以每周至少上12节课。考生可能误选B项，注意题干是询问“at least”多少节。
(2)	句意理解题。根据短文第一段最后一句可知，在学习期间，学生可以从一所大学到另一所大学学习。文章不是说在两个大学拿两个学位，不要误选C项。
(3)	细节理解题。由文章最后一段，第六至九行看出：学生会确保了学生遵守校规。因为“Any student, who is thought to have broken the rules, for example by cheating, has to appear before a student court．”。
(4)	细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“…and it will be of benefit to him later in his career”可知。
