question: Could I change the class? In fact, students are able to change classes within the first month of the semester. During that month, there39。s often a long queue at the office door and a lot of students want to switch courses. After the first week, I looked through courses that were available for me. I had two choices: biology and chemistry. Chemistry is for college students who would like a collection of degrees in one specific area after high school. After having discussions and making choices, I switched my class from life management to grade 11 universitylevel biology. Although biology is quite difficult for me because of the many difficult words I have to use and understand, I will still try my best. To be honest, quite a lot of students want to change classes because they want easier courses. But I think challenging myself is always the best choice. I would rather get a lower mark in a course I can really learn from than get high scores in an easy open class.(1)According to the text, if one takes life management, he can . A.learn much he is interested inB.plan his life wellC.bee quite different from othersD.get high marks(2)We know from the passage that within the first month of the semester . A.many students switch coursesB.few students follow the adviserC.teachers choose students who they think have talentsD.teachers refuse the students hating their courses(3)Why did the writer finally choose biology? A.Because it was easy for him to get a high score.B.Because he wanted to do as other students did.C.Because he wanted to challenge himself.D.Because his teacher advised him to.(4)What is the best title for the text? A.Studying hard abroadB.Choosing can be toughC.Courses in Canadian schools are difficultD.Courses in China high schools are easier【答案】 (1)D(2)A(3)C(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文作者以自己的經(jīng)歷為例,講述加拿大學(xué)生對課程的選擇,并指出選課可能很難。 (1)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中On the first day of school, I found out that life management is an open class and every student is able to take the course. The teacher of the class told us honestly that this is an easy course that can increase our average score.(開學(xué)的第一天,我發(fā)現(xiàn)生活管理是一門公開課,每個學(xué)生都能上這門課。老師很誠實地告訴我們,這是一門容易的課程,可以提高我們的平均分。)可知,如果一個人上life management,他能得到高分?jǐn)?shù)。故選D。 (2)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段In fact, students are able to change classes within the first month of the semester. During that month, there39。s often a long queue at the office door and a lot of students want to switch courses.(事實上,學(xué)生可以在學(xué)期的第一個月內(nèi)換班。在那個月里,辦公室門口經(jīng)常排著長隊,很多學(xué)生都想轉(zhuǎn)專業(yè)。)可知,在學(xué)期的第一個月內(nèi),許多學(xué)生換了課程。故選A。(3)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中I think challenging myself is always the best choice.(我認(rèn)為挑戰(zhàn)自我總是最好的選擇。)可知,作者最后選擇生物是為了挑戰(zhàn)自己。故選C。 (4)主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段Unlike most Chinese high school students, seniors in Canada can choose the courses they would like to take by themselves. However sometimes they cannot take the course they want to take due to different reasons like schedule conflicts.(與大多數(shù)中國高中生不同的是,加拿大的高年級學(xué)生可以自己選擇他們想學(xué)的課程。然而,有時由于不同的原因,如日程沖突,他們不能參加他們想要參加的課程。)可知,本文講述的是學(xué)生對課程的選擇可能很難。故選B。 【點評】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及了細(xì)節(jié)理解題、推理判斷題和主旨大意題三種??碱}型。細(xì)節(jié)理解題把握題干關(guān)鍵詞,在原文查找依據(jù)。推理判斷題結(jié)合上下句合理推斷。主旨大意題把握首段尾段,尤其是首段轉(zhuǎn)折處。9.閱讀短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。 HONG KONGCrossborder buses operated by Hong Kong panies on Friday started trial runs on the Hong KongZhuhaiMacao Bridge (HZMB) in preparation for the bridge39。s uping opening. The trial runs, arranged by the governments of the Chinese mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and the Macao SAR, would last for three days and aimed at testing the readiness of boundary crossing facilities (設(shè)施) of the three places, the Hong Kong SAR government39。s Transport and Housing Bureau told Xinhua. Two major crossboundary coach trade associations in Hong Kong were invited to send buses and members to participate in the trial runs. Freeman Cheung, secretary of Hong Kong Guangdong Boundary Crossing Bus Association, said his association would run one bus with about 10 passengers on Friday and Saturday respectively as part of the trial runs. Our bus started at noon from the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities and ran all the way to Zhuhai in about 40 minutes, he said, adding that the journey was smooth. Alan Chan, secretary of another trade association who participated in the trial runs as a passenger, said the clearance procedures at boundary crossing facilities of the three places all went on well and smoothly. The boundary crossing facilities of Zhuhai and Macao, in particular, are operated in a collaborative (合作的) way, which helps remarkably shorten the time needed for the clearance procedures, he said. The HZMB, situated at the waters of Lingdingyang of Pearl River Estuary, is a megasize sea crossing linking the Hong Kong SAR, Zhuhai city of Guangdong Province and the Macao SAR. The 55km bridge is the longest bridgeandtunnel (隧道) sea crossing in the world. The bridge is meant to meet the demand of passenger and freight land transport among Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and Macao, and to establish a new land transport link between the east and west banks of the Pearl River.(1)We learn from the passage that ________. A.Alan Chan participated in the trial runs as a driverB.two coach trade associations in Zhuhai took part in the trial runsC.the HZMB is located at the waters of Lingdingyang of Pearl River EstuaryD.the 55km bridge is the second longest bridgeandtunnel sea crossing in the world(2)What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A.The route of the trial runs.B.The effect of the trial runs.C.The purpose of the trial runs.D.The evaluation of the trial runs.(3)What does the underlined word freight in the
