been a popular time for families to watch television together. One of the most popular programme genres is the talent show, partly because people of all ages are interested in it. Early shows, like Opportunity Knocks(1965~1978), required people to vote(投票)for their favourite acts and performers, although in those days voting was done by postcard instead of by telephone, text, or over the Internet.

They begin their school year in January and it is broken up into three terms. In Kenya, in the past, students were not required to attend school and the education was not free, either. I taught math, English and physics at Chamasiri Secondary School while I was a teacher in Kenya. This school had four classrooms ﹣one for each grade, Form 1, Form 2, Form 3 and Form 4. They are the equivalent(對等) to our 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades. Teachers traveled from classroom to classroom instead of the students going from room to room. The Form I class had 60 students, Form 2 had 45, Form 3 had 30, and Form 4 about 12 students. The class sizes became smaller as the grades continued on. Why did this happn? Many families were very poor and could not afford the school fees(學費). Most countryside schools in Kenya did not have a lot of money. As a result, there were very few textbooks for the students to use. I had seven math texts for my Form 2 class and 14 for the Form I class. Anything the students needed to know was put up on the blackboard and the students copied it down into their notebooks. The notebooks became the students39。 textbooks. Kenyan students study ten different subject areas. Some of the students spend over an hour running home. They do chores at home and hopefully manage to find some time to study before it gets dark. Most families do not have electricity and may not even have candies for their children to study by. Luckily, Kenyan education has been being better and better in the past few years. I39。m sure it will have a good future.(1)Which grade does Form 3 refer to(指的是) in the writer39。s country? A.Grade 9.B.Grade 10.C.Grade 11.D.Grade 12.(2)Why did the notebooks bee the students39。 textbooks? A.The students did not pay the schools.B.The schools couldn39。t afford the textbooks.C.The students preferred to use their notebook.D.The teachers asked the students to take notes.(3)Why do some students run home from school? A.They aren39。t allowed to stay at school.B.They don39。t like studying in the school.C.They hope to have more time to study.D.They want to get candles in the stores.(4)According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? A.In Kenya, a school year has three terms.B.The Form I class had the most students.C.Each family has electricity in Kenya.D.Kenyan education has been improving.【答案】 (1)C(2)B(3)C(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文介紹Chamasiri Secondary School的情況,這個學校有四個班,一個年級一個班,到這里來就讀的學生一般都是窮人家的孩子,學生在這學習10門科目。 (1)細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Form 1, Form 2, Form 3 and Form 4.
