Answer 1

【小題1】B
【小題2】D
【小題3】B
【小題4】D

解析試題分析：這篇閱讀材料涉及四所學(xué)校的招生廣告，都是關(guān)于英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的。瀏覽后面的題目，根據(jù)其具體要求就能選擇出適合于自己的學(xué)校。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。既然“每天從上午9:00工作至下午4:30，連周末都工作，那么只能選擇晚上有課程的學(xué)校了。”，那么在這四所學(xué)校中只有Global English Center和The International House設(shè)有晚間課程。不難判斷B為正確答案。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。21世紀(jì)英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)中心與眾不同之處是需要進(jìn)行Entrance exams (入學(xué)考試)，這一點(diǎn)在其他三所學(xué)校的廣告中均未談及；而其它如“教學(xué)質(zhì)量好”、“離市中心近”等，在另外三所學(xué)校的廣告中也可以見到。因此D為正確答案。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 “你也許喜歡去International House的原因”可以從廣告前言和廣告本身中得知。前言中說，“你現(xiàn)在正在找地方提高英語(yǔ)，特別是口語(yǔ)”，而The International House的廣告中說“提供四個(gè)月的口語(yǔ)能力訓(xùn)練課程”，因此，只有a special course in spoken English才是最吸引你的，而不是“觀光、社會(huì)活動(dòng)或價(jià)格便宜”。故B為正確答案。
【小題4】計(jì)算題。廣告中說“每周12小時(shí)60元”，那么一個(gè)月四周要近千元。故D為正確答案。
考點(diǎn)：考查廣告布告類短文
點(diǎn)評(píng)：這是四則廣告，文章屬于信息篩選類短文，有四個(gè)關(guān)于英語(yǔ)文化的知識(shí)，可以很快找到關(guān)鍵處，在解答這類問題時(shí)要求學(xué)生抓住題干文字信息，采用針對(duì)性方法進(jìn)行閱讀，答案在文章中可以直接找到。
