Question

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13 to 19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world．
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America．
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. Schools were completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(個(gè)人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
At the same time, In America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea．“I suppose I should criticize(批評(píng)) American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two.

Answer 1

【小題1】D
【小題2】C
【小題3】D
【小題4】B

解析試題分析：文章大意：這是美國的一個(gè)項(xiàng)目。他們國家的青少年與世界上其他國家的青少年進(jìn)行交換，彼此到對(duì)方的國家去生活學(xué)習(xí)，以期讓學(xué)生們真正了解他國，增進(jìn)對(duì)世界其它地區(qū)的了解。
【小題1】D歸納概括題。文章第二段至結(jié)束都是講述美國的Fred和德國的Mike到對(duì)方的家里去生活學(xué)習(xí)的情況。因此，這種世界性交換生的目的只可能在第一段里出現(xiàn)。而第一段中有They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world．他們將會(huì)去美國的學(xué)校讀書，相遇美國的青少年，從而構(gòu)建對(duì)真正美國的印象，與此同時(shí)，大約1，300美國的青少年將會(huì)去別的國家學(xué)習(xí)新的語言獲得對(duì)世界其它地區(qū)的新理解。由此可知，這種世界交換生的目的是為了讓學(xué)生真正學(xué)到其它國家的一些東西。所以，D項(xiàng)正確。
【小題2】C推理判斷題。由題目中的Fred and Mike agreed可知要到文中去找兩人共同認(rèn)為的事情。第三段Schools were completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Fred認(rèn)為德國的學(xué)業(yè)難多了；最后一段“I suppose I should criticize(批評(píng)) American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level….” Mike要批評(píng)美國的學(xué)校，那里的學(xué)業(yè)對(duì)他們的水平來說太容易了。由此判斷，他們倆人都認(rèn)為德國的學(xué)習(xí)難度更大，因此，選C。
【小題3】 D根據(jù)題目可知，要找的是美國學(xué)校的特別之處。最后一段Here we take part in many outside activities.由此可知，正確答案應(yīng)該是D。
【小題4】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，Mike感覺關(guān)于美國他要批評(píng)的地方是那里學(xué)業(yè)太簡(jiǎn)單，但他同時(shí)也認(rèn)為課外活動(dòng)多也許對(duì)培養(yǎng)公民更有利，最后There ought to be some middle ground between the two. Mike認(rèn)為在這兩者之間應(yīng)該有一個(gè)中間地帶，意思也就是要取兩國之長(zhǎng)，不要走極端，既不要像在德國那樣整天就是學(xué)習(xí)，也不要像在美國這樣學(xué)業(yè)過于簡(jiǎn)單。
考點(diǎn)：考查夾敘夾議體材的閱讀理解。
