【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。
1.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A为正确答案。
2.21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。
3.The International House of English”的广告4-month,
60yuan per week介绍，每星期60yuan，每月约4星期，所以晚间课程每月需要花240yuan。故选B。
4.“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D为正确答案。

考点：广告布告类短文阅读。
