Question

【題目】For twelve children aged between ten and fifteen, Saturdays are spent learning the art of cooking. Their weekly lessons in small classes are so popular that there is a waiting list of 30 children who want to do the course. Parents pay 280 for the course where their children can have fun and learn how to make good food.

Class member Bill, aged ten, says, “I love my mom’s cooking and now I can do it better than her. The teachers always make us laugh, especially when we sit down with them to share the food we’ve made.”

Flora is twelve, and she says, “I did a meal for ten friends which they really enjoyed. Then my mom suggested I take up a hobby, instead of doing nothing on weekends. I was happy staying at home, so I wasn’t too keen at first. I’m really glad I decided to come, though.”

Their teacher, Philippe, says, “The students are great. They pay attention and remember things better than adults, although the kitchen isn’t always as tidy when they’re cooking! As adults, we’re always learning more about food. If parents interest their children in cooking while they are young, they’ll have enough skills to make food for themselves when they leave home.”

【解析】

這篇短文給我們介紹了一個(gè)教孩子烹飪的班，他們每周上一次課，而且是小班制。這種課程很受歡迎，文章中引用了學(xué)習(xí)烹飪課程的兩名學(xué)生以及教授課程的一個(gè)老師的話。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句話Parents pay 280 for the course where their children can have fun and learn how to make good food.可知，這句話提到了課程的價(jià)格，故應(yīng)選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Bill所說的話中The teachers always make us laugh, especially when we sit down with them to share the food we’ve made.可知，老師們總是讓學(xué)生們笑，由此可知老師們是很幽默的。故應(yīng)選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段Flora說的話Then my mom suggested I take up a hobby, instead of doing nothing on weekends.可知，是她的媽媽建議她培養(yǎng)一個(gè)愛好，所以她才上了這個(gè)烹飪班。故應(yīng)選C。

【4】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線單詞所在的上下文was happy staying at home, so I wasn’t too keen at first. I’m really glad I decided to come, though.可知，Flora喜歡待在家里，所以她一開始對(duì)這個(gè)課程并沒有興趣。故keen的意思是“感興趣的”，選D。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段老師Philippe說的話Their teacher, Philippe, says, “The students are great. They pay attention and remember things better than adults, although the kitchen isn’t always as tidy when they’re cooking!可知，他認(rèn)為學(xué)生們比成年人更注意和記住一些東西。由此可知應(yīng)選C。

這篇短文給我們介紹了一個(gè)很受學(xué)生們歡迎的烹飪班。短文主題明確，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，比較容易理解。后面的題目設(shè)置有細(xì)節(jié)理解題和詞義猜測(cè)題，細(xì)節(jié)題考查學(xué)生們對(duì)文章事實(shí)信息的理解，答案常可以直接在原文找到。猜測(cè)詞義的題則應(yīng)根據(jù)單詞所在的上下文語境。做題時(shí)，應(yīng)先通讀短文，了解大意；然后根據(jù)題目所問鎖定文章相關(guān)段落或語句，利用相關(guān)信息作答。例如第1小題，題目涉及文章第一段，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)在第一段中定位，用排除法進(jìn)行選擇，根據(jù)第一段最后一句話Parents pay 280 for the course where their children can have fun and learn how to make good food.可知，這句話提到了課程的價(jià)格，故應(yīng)選B。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的信息在這一段中都沒有提到。再如第4小題，這是一個(gè)詞義猜測(cè)題，根據(jù)劃線單詞所在的上下文was happy staying at home, so I wasn’t too keen at first. I’m really glad I decided to come, though.可知，Flora喜歡待在家里，所以她一開始對(duì)這個(gè)課程并沒有興趣。故keen的意思是“感興趣的”，選D。
