Question

18．Would you like to experience what going to school was like in the late 1800s？To start with，imagine everyone in school only one classroom．
  In the 19th and early 20th centuries，most American students went to a one-room schoolhouse．A single teacher would typically（典型地） have students in the first through eighth grades，and she taught them all．The number of students variedfrom six to 40 or more．The youngest children sat in the front，while the oldest students sat in the back．The teacher usually taught reading，writing，arithmetic，history，and geography．Students memorized（記憶） and retold their lessons．
  The classroom of a one-room schoolhouse probably looked much like your own．The teacher's desk stood on a raised platform（講臺） at the front of the room，however，and there was a wood-burning stove since there was no other way of heating．The bathroom was outside in an outhouse．
  In Honeoye Falls，New York，there is a one-room schoolhouse where kids today can experience what it was like to the students in the late 19th century．For a week during the summer，they wear 19th century clothes and learn the way children learned more than a hundred years ago．

分析 短文大意：
   你想體驗一下19世紀(jì)末的學(xué)校是什么樣子嗎？首先，想象著在學(xué)校里只有一個教室．
   19世紀(jì)末到20世紀(jì)初，大多數(shù)美國學(xué)生去只有一間教室的學(xué)校．一個老師要教從一年級到八年級的所有學(xué)生，并教他們所有的東西．學(xué)生的數(shù)量從6到40或更多不等．在教室里，年齡最小的學(xué)生坐在最前面，最大的坐在后面．老師通常教閱讀，寫作，算術(shù)，歷史和地理．學(xué)生背誦和復(fù)述他們的功課．
   一間校舍的教室也許看起來就像你自己的．講桌在教室前面高出的講臺上，在講臺前還有一個火爐，因為沒有其他的采暖方式．浴室是在外面的廁所里．
   在紐約的哈尼瀑布，還有一間教室的學(xué)校，今天孩子們可以在紐約的Honeoye Falls體驗一下19世紀(jì)晚期學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的方式．在暑假里大約一個星期的時間，他們穿上十九世紀(jì)時的衣服，以一百多年前的孩子們學(xué)習(xí)的方式來學(xué)習(xí)．
   自19世紀(jì)以來，學(xué)校還發(fā)生了其他什么變化？想獲取更多信息，請訪問我們的網(wǎng)站：www．locallygacy．com．

解答 51．A．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)from six to 40 or more，可知學(xué)生的人數(shù)是從六個到四十多個，這是一個不固定的數(shù)，因此是變化的．故選A．
52．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)The teacher usually taught reading，writing，arithmetic，history，and geography．可知在19世紀(jì)晚期，學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)閱讀，寫作，算術(shù)，歷史和地理．故選C．
53．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)The youngest children sat in the front，while the oldest students sat in the back．和The teacher's desk stood on a raised platform（講臺） at the front of the room，however，and there was a wood-burning stove since there was no other way of heating．可知在19世紀(jì)只有一間教室的校舍里，年齡最小的學(xué)生坐在最前面，最大的坐在后面．講桌在教室前面高出的講臺上，在講臺前還有一個火爐．故選D．
54．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)In Honeoye Falls，New York，there is a one-room schoolhouse where kids today can experience what it was like to the students in the late 19th century．在Honeoye Falls，可知在這里有一個一間教室的校舍，孩子們在這里可以體驗一下19世紀(jì)晚期的學(xué)生是怎么學(xué)習(xí)的．故選D．
55．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)In the 19th and early 20th centuries，most American students went to a one-room schoolhouse．A single teacher would typically（典型地） have students in the first through eighth grades，and she taught them all．可知在只有一間教室的學(xué)校里，只有一個老師．故選A．
