【答案与解析】
这篇阅读材料涉及四所学校的招生广告,都是关于英语学习的。浏览后面的题目,根据其具体要求就能选择出适合于自己的学校。
1.A 既然每天从上午9:00工作至下午4:30,连周末都工作,那么只能选择晚上有课程的学校了。,那么在这四所学校中只有Global English Center和The International House设有晚间课程。不难判断A为正确答案。
2.D.21世纪英语培训中心与众不同之处是需要进行Entrance exams (入学考试),这一点在其他三所学校的广告中均未谈及;而其它如教学质量好、离市中心近等,在另外三所学校的广告中也可以见到。因此D为正确答案。
3.D 广告中说每周12小时60元,那么一个月四周要近千元。故D为正确答案。
4.B 你也许喜欢去International House的原因可以从广告前言和广告本身中得知。前言中说,你现在正在找地方提高英语,特别是口语,而The International House的广告中说提供四个月的口语能力训练课程,因此,只有a special course in spoken English才是最吸引你的,而不是观光、社会活动或价格便宜。另外,选项D与广告实际内容不符。故B为正确答案。
