Question

【题目】阅读理解
Three students are choosing a course (课程) at the West Midlands College of Technology.
Clara
At first I thought about the Sports Studies Course because I really enjoy swimming and football, but in the end I decided that the Tourism Course is better for me. You see, I like meeting people and I'd really like to work abroad for a few years, maybe as a tour guide, maybe in Spain.
Taka
I'd really like to do a course in art because I'm very interested in art, but I have to think about my job. I work as a fashion designer and when I go back to Japan I want to use a computer to design clothes, so I'm going to the Information Technology Course. I can study art and photography (摄影) in my free time!
Ben
Yeah, well, I want to have a good time at college, you know, meet lots of people and I don't want to work too much! I like computers a lot and I might do a job with computers one day in the future, but at the moment I'm really interested in music, you know. I'm in a rock band, so I've decided to do the Performing Arts Course. Then in the first year I can do music and in the second year I'll probably do a course in singing. Then my friends in the band and I can be rich and famous!

【解析】文章大意：这篇短文介绍了三个学生在选择适合自己的课程。Clara选择了旅游课程，因为她想当导游；Taka想回到日本用电脑设计服装，所以她选择了信息技术课；Ben现在想把兴趣集中在音乐上，所以他选择了表演艺术课程。

（2）推理判断题。根据短文第二段关于Clara的介绍中I really enjoy swimming and football ...You see, I like meeting people and I'd really like to work abroad for a few years, maybe as a tour guide, maybe in Spain.可知，Clara喜欢运动，喜欢与人交流，由此我们可以推测她是一个很积极活跃的人，patient 耐心的；gentle温柔的；traditional传统的，这几个词在文章中都不能体现。故应选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据短文第三段关于Taka的介绍中I work as a fashion designer and when I go back to Japan可知，她提到回到日本，由此可知她来自日本，故应选C。
（4）细节理解题。根据短文第三段关于Taka的介绍中I work as a fashion designer and when I go back to Japan I want to use a computer to design clothes, so I'm going to the Information Technology Course可知，为了自己以后的工作，她决定选择学习用电脑设计服装。故应选A。
（5）细节理解题。根据短文第四段关于Ben的内容I like computers a lot and I might do a job with computers one day in the future, but at the moment I'm really interested in music, you know... Then in the first year I can do music and in the second year I'll probably do a course in singing可知，他现在想要把兴趣都集中在音乐和唱歌上，故应选D。
（6）推理判断题。根据短文第四段中I like computers a lot and I might do a job with computers one day in the future可知，Ben喜欢电脑，以后他也许会找到一个要用电脑的工作。因此在四个选项中信息技术课对他将是有用的，故应选C。
