Question

【題目】More and more people think it necessary to study in an English-speaking country and it didn’t take long at all for me to decide to come and study in UK.

I have been used to school life since I came here two months ago, and I am starting to enjoy most of my time in here. School starts at 9 o’clock every morning, and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we have long days, in which we have 9 lessons and school finishes at 4 o’clock. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday we have short days, in which we have only 6 lessons and finish at 1 o’clock. After lessons, we have 2 hours of activity time, when you can choose from a number of activities, including many sports, such as rugby(英式橄欖球) , football, basketball and tennis.

As a boarder(寄宿者), the quality of food is something I consider very important, and Merchiston has not let me down. The school kitchens are run by a professional company, and the quality of food is excellent, and they are always trying to make the diet healthy. One of the obvious advantages of being a boarder is that we can have breakfast in the school, which means we don’t have to pull ourselves out of bed as early as the day pupils!

試題分析：短文大意：該短文中作者主要介紹了自己在英國的學(xué)習(xí)生活，文中詳細(xì)地介紹了作者的學(xué)習(xí)情況及生活情況。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段可知，在一三五作者每天上9節(jié)課，二四六每天上6節(jié)課， 9×3+6×3=45，所以選B。

【2】A主旨大意題。仔細(xì)讀短文可知本文主要講述了作者在英國的學(xué)習(xí)生活。所以選A。

【3】A詞義猜測題題。聯(lián)系后一句描述可知本句指的是莫契斯東中學(xué)沒有讓我失望。所以選A。
