答案:1.A;2.D;3.D;4.B;
解析:

(1)

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)

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)

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)

  “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.

  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.

  when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk

  What do Napoleon, Clinton and Wang Nan have in common? They are all left-handed.

  Today, about 15%of the number of people is left-handed.But why are people left-handed? The answer is the way the brain(大脑)works.The brain has two halves---- the right half controls the left side of the body, and the left controls the right side of the body.So right-handed people have a strong left-brain and left-handed people have a strong right brain.

  The two halves of he brain are about the same size.But each side controls different things.The left side controls language, math and logical(逻辑的).When you remember new words, or when you put things in order, you use your left side.

  The right side of the brain controls your love of art, colors and music.It is also good at recognizing(识别)faces.
