Question

【題目】

Hello, I'm Zheng Yishi from Shanghai. I'm 15 years old. I study at Walsh Jesuit High School in Cleveland, Ohio, US. I Like reading, traveling and listening to music. I'm glad to share my experience with you.

Have you ever wondered what PE classes are like in other countries? In China, PE tests are required to graduate from both middle school and high school. To get good grades on the PE tests, Chinese students will need to practice running as well as doing sit-ups and pull-ups. However, this is not the way that PE classes work in US high schools.

In my high school, we are required to take two terms of PE to graduate. We play real sports during PE classes, such as basketball and volleyball. There are also some other typical American sports that we often play, such as kickball and dodgeball(躲避球).

I didn't know the rules of kickball and dodgeball when I first came to the US. The teacher allowed me to sit on the sidelines and watch how other students played it in order to let me find out the rules.

We also learn some useful life skills in PE. Last year, I learned how to do CPR(心肺復蘇), which is a life-saving skill. We were also taught how to provide first aid to someone who is choking(窒息).These skills are a large part of the final grade for the PE class in my high school. Self-defense(自衛(wèi))is taught in PE class as well. This includes some tae kwon do(跆拳道)and karate(空手道) skills, as well as Chinese kung fu. It is practical. I prefer PE classes in the US to the ones in China. I think they are more fun and useful. What do you think?

A. a teacher's instructionB. watching others play

【解析】

文章大意：我是來自上海的Zheng Yishi，我在美國Walsh Jesuit High School上學。美國的體育課和中國并不一樣。在我的高中，我們上兩個學期的體育課，我們做真正的運動，并學習一些有用的技能。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據文中的信息The teacher allowed me to sit on the sidelines and watch how other students played it in order to let me find out the rules.可知，作者通過觀看別人的比賽來學習踢球和躲避球的規(guī)則。故答案選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據文中的信息We play real sports during PE classes, 我們在體育課上做真正的運動。I learned how to do CPR(心肺復蘇), which is a life-saving skill. 我學會了如何做心肺復蘇術，這是一項挽救生命的技能。Self-defense(自衛(wèi))is taught in PE class as well.在體育課上也教自衛(wèi)。結合選項可知A、B、C選項在體育課上作者都可以學到，但D選項“如何治療燒傷”在文中沒有提到，所以作者應是學不到的，故答案選D。

【3】主旨大意題。通讀全文，結合文中的信息Have you ever wondered what PE classes are like in other countries? ……However, this is not the way that PE classes work in US high schools.

你有沒有想過在其他國家體育課是什么樣的？……然而，這并不是美國高中體育課的教學方式。可知，本文主要是介紹美國體育課是什么樣的，故答案選B。
