分析 這篇閱讀材料涉及四所學校的招生廣告,都是關于英語學習的.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校.如果你在一家大公司工作,而且你經(jīng)常處理外國商務,提高自己的英語水平是當務之急,短文給出了四種不同的培訓方式,哪一種適合你呢?
解答 BBCD
46.B細節(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校了.",那么在這四所學校中只有Global English Center和The International House設有晚間課程.不難判斷B為正確答案.故選B.
47.B細節(jié)理解題.21世紀英語培訓中心與眾不同之處是需要進行Entrance exams (入學考試),這一點在其他三所學校的廣告中均未談及;而其它如"教學質(zhì)量好"、"離市中心近"等,在另外三所學校的廣告中也可以見到.因此B為正確答案.故選B.
48.C細節(jié)理解題."你也許喜歡去International House的原因"可以從廣告前言和廣告本身中得知.前言中說,"你現(xiàn)在正在找地方提高英語,特別是口語",而The International House的廣告中說"提供四個月的口語能力訓練課程",因此,只有a special course in spoken English才是最吸引你的,而不是"觀光、社會活動或價格便宜".故C為正確答案.故選C.
49.D理解計算題.廣告中說"每周12小時60元",那么一個月四周要近千元.故D為正確答案.故選D.
點評 這是四則廣告,文章屬于信息篩選類短文,有四個關于英語文化的知識,可以很快找到關鍵處,在解答這類問題時要求學生抓住題干文字信息,采用針對性方法進行閱讀,答案在文章中可以直接找到.
