【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 enya, 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(xué)費(fèi)）. 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(gè)學(xué)校有四個(gè)班，一個(gè)年級(jí)一個(gè)班，到這里來就讀的學(xué)生一般都是窮人家的孩子，學(xué)生在這學(xué)習(xí)10門科目。 （1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Form 1， Form 2， Form 3 and Form 4. They are the equivalent（對等） to our 9th， 10th， 11th and 12th grades. 第一組、第二組、第三組和第四組，他們分別對應(yīng)112年級(jí)，故選C。 （2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)Most countryside schools in Kenya did not have a lot of money. 肯尼亞的大多鄉(xiāng)村學(xué)校沒有很多錢，故選B。 （3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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. 一些學(xué)生花費(fèi)一個(gè)多小時(shí)跑回家，他們在家做家務(wù)并希望天黑之前找到一些時(shí)間去學(xué)習(xí)，大多家庭沒有電，甚至沒有蠟燭供孩子們學(xué)習(xí)用，因此孩子們跑回家是為了有更多的時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)，故選C。 （4）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 題目問以下哪一個(gè)選項(xiàng)是不對的，根據(jù)Most families do not have electricity and may not even have candies for their children to study ，大多家庭沒有電，甚至沒有蠟燭供孩子們學(xué)習(xí)用。C選項(xiàng)意為肯尼亞的每個(gè)家庭都有電，與原文不符，故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】考查閱讀理解能力，細(xì)節(jié)題是閱讀理解題中?？碱}型。細(xì)節(jié)題要從文中尋找答案。6．閱讀理解 Last weekend, I took Lucy to a park, where she discovered a track with large bumps（凸塊）and sharp tums. At first, I thought Lucy was able to ride her bike along the track, but she quickly found that her bike was too low to the ground and kept getting stuck on top of the bump. Lucy looked at me with fear because she was still a biking newbie. I tried to encourage her too, but really, I was thinking﹣this is going to be a disaster. Not because I thought she would get hurt. More because I thought she wouldn39。t be able to pick up enough speed to balance, then get really discouraged, and give up quickly. I imagined her throwing her bicycle to the ground and then crying all the way home. But I was only half right. Lucy did have a lot of trouble riding the bike. She couldn39。t find her balance. She fell many times. At one point, she almost started crying because younger kids were getting angry that she was slowing everyone else down. But she did not give up. She kept picking herself up and trying again. She even took the bike off the track and into the main park to practice pushing off and picking up speed on a flat ground. When she felt more confident, she came back. Then she did it over and over again until she finally reached her goal of going around the whole track without falling once. Then she didn39。t want to leave and everyone was cheering her on. This was not a day that ended in a disaster. It was a day when Lucy learned that perseverance pays off.（1）Why was Lucy taken to the park last weekend？ A.TO play other kids.B.To discover a track for fun.C.To find her speed was too slow.D.To ride her bike along the track.（2）What does the underlined sentence probably mean in Paragraph 2？ A.Lucy would get hurt and cry all the way home.B.Lucy would fear to ride the bike and get discouraged.C.Lucy would lose balance and slow the younger kids down.D.Lucy would have trouble riding the bike and give up soon.（3）What did Lucy take the bike into the main park for ?
