4．What are American high schools like？Well，I'm happy to tell you what I know．
When I started school here，it had already been a week since the school opened．At this school，freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school．Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip，which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates．I was really sad．I wished I'd known about it earlier．
Despite the disappointment，however，I gradually adapted to my new life and school．There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other．As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates，the school wants us to get to know each other there．Students usually come to school early，sit in that space and have fun．Around the space，there are many lockers for students to leave their books in，so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere．
It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks．We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2and they are big and heavy，like bricks．For other classes，we only need binders （活頁夾） with paper in them．Without textbooks，students learn things freely and actively．For example，my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time．We never know what we will learn．
Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students'morality more than their academic studies．For example，if you do not finish your homework，you will just be asked to do it later，but if you cheat or lie，you will get a warning or even be kicked out．
I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well，but compared to Chinese students，they can make learning a more joyful experience．I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying．

分析 本文是一篇說明文．文章主要講述的是關(guān)于美國中學(xué)的情況，文章也談了美國學(xué)校和中國學(xué)校的不同之處．
解答 28：B 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第二段的三、四句"Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip，which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates．I was really sad．"可知，作者對自己沒有趕上開學(xué)時的旅行而遺憾．故正確答案為B．
29：C 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第四段第一句"There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other"可知，孩子們?nèi)ソ虒W(xué)樓地下室目的是結(jié)識同學(xué)、聊天和玩．其它選項均不符合文意．故正確答案為C．
30：C 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第五段前三句"We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy，like bricks．For other classes，we only need binders（活頁夾） with paper in them．Without textbooks，students learn things freely and actively．"可知，在美國學(xué)校里，部分學(xué)科有教材，而部分學(xué)科沒有教材，老師教學(xué)內(nèi)容比較隨意．故正確答案為C．
31：A 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句中的"but if you cheat or lie，you will get a warning or even be kicked out"可知，作弊有可能被學(xué)校開除．故正確答案為A．
點評 本文是一個人生感悟類閱讀，題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
