Question

【題目】Would you like to experience what going to school was like in the late 1800s? To start with, imagine everyone in only one classroom.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, most American students went to a one-room schoolhouse. A single teacher would typically have students in the first through eighth grades, and she taught them all. The number of students varied from six to 40 or more. The youngest children sat in the front, while the oldest students sat at the back. The teacher usually taught reading, writing, arithmetic(算法), history, and geography. Students memorized and retold their lessons.

The classroom of a one-room schoolhouse probably looked much like your own. The teacher’s desk stood on a raised platform in the front of the room, however, and there was a wood-burning stove since there was no other way of heating. The bathroom was outside in an outhouse.

In Honeoye Falls, New York, there is a one-room schoolhouse where kids today can experience what it was like to the students in the late 19th century. For a week during the summer, they wear 19th century clothes and learn the way children learned more than a hundred years ago.

【解析】試題分析：短文介紹了19世紀(jì)末大多數(shù)美國學(xué)生在僅有一間教室的學(xué)校上學(xué)的情景。在紐約的哈尼奧伊福爾斯，今天還有一間教室的學(xué)校，供孩子們體驗、學(xué)習(xí)一百多年前孩子們學(xué)習(xí)的方式。

【1】題意：第二段中劃線的詞“varied”是什么意思？考查詞義理解題。A. be widely different有很大的不同；B. be the same是相同的；C. to change改變；D. become more變得更多。根據(jù)下文from six to 40 or more. The youngest children sat in the front, while the oldest students sat at the back.，可知人數(shù)很不一樣，故選A。
