Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】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。

【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。

【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(jiàn)到。因此D為正確答案。

【3】計(jì)算題。廣告中說(shuō)“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。
