【1】A

【2】E

【3】C

【4】B

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講述英國蒙特學校的老師需要用綠色的筆批改作業(yè)，為此不同的老師有不同的意見。

【1】

根據上文“What color do …and exam papers?”以及下文“Yeah. Teachers …and homework”可知，作者做出設問：老師用什么顏色的筆批改作業(yè)，回答：老師總是用紅筆批改。與之搭配的應該是：是紅色，不是嗎？故答案為A。

【2】

根據下文“The headmaster… students’ papers and homework,”可知，校長讓老師用綠色的筆批改作業(yè)，此處與上文有一個轉折，所以與之搭配的應該是：但是在英國，蒙特學校的老師需要把他們的紅筆收起來。故選E。

【3】

根據下文“A study shows that color is negative(消極的) color. Red pens can make students worried and unhappy.”研究顯示紅色是消極的顏色，能讓學生感到憂慮和不開心，此為解釋校長要求換掉紅筆的理由，與之搭配的應該是：為什么老師不再使用紅筆呢？故選C。

【4】

根據上文“Students can do better if teachers use green pens.”以及下文“I always use red pens…more easily.”可知，一個老師贊同用綠色筆，另一個人認為紅色筆能讓孩子更容易讀到批閱，雙方執(zhí)相反的意見。與之搭配的應該是：但是，有一個老師，克里斯·麥戈文不同意這個觀點。故選B。
