Question

【題目】 You might take a car, a bus, or a bike to school. But in Bangladesh, instead of waiting for a school bus to come down their street, many students wait for a school boat to come down the river. That’s right—these students attend school on a boat!

Bangladesh is very close to sea level.____ 【1】_____ The flooding creates many problems. For the nearly 160 million people living there, the periodic flooding means that they are often unable to access roads, electricity, or telephones.

Growing up in Bangladesh, Mohammed Rezwan was often troubled by the destruction. In 1998 he founded an organization called Shidhulai. The name means “self-reliance .” The purpose of the organization is to help the people of Bangladesh receive an education and also to bring technology and an improved quality of life to poor people in remote areas of the country. In 2002, Rezwan began transforming boats into schools. Each boat was built to house between 30 and 35 students. _______【2】_______The only difference was that they floated on a river.

______【3】_____ Today Rezwan and his organization operate 88 boats in northern Bangladesh. About half the boats are used as schools, and the other half are used as temporary houses during the flood season. In addition to the schools and the temporary housing, there are also a floating technology and training center, a library that allows students to check out books, and a health-care center. The school boats travel along the rivers and pick up students for classes that include computer technology, agriculture, and human rights.

At night the boats provide additional learning opportunities for students and adults. ______【4】______ They study using solar lamps that are charged during the day at stations near the river. Special equipment on the boats also projects lessons onto big screens made from sailcloth. People can come down to the riverbank to watch films. In all, these boats help educate close to 90,000 families in Bangladesh.

By floating down the rivers, the school boats provide more than books. ____【5】______ “This ‘library’ boat inspired me,” said 18-year-old student Shanto Islam, who enjoys reading science fiction books. “I started to dream.” Islam now wants to attend a university.

A. The boats had everything you might find in a regular classroom.

B. Parents living in the area are happy to have the boats.

C. These boats have been a great success.

D. Both of them can attend evening courses.

E. He did not want to design houses, though.

F. For this reason the land is flooded for five months of every year.

G. They also deliver knowledge, opportunity, and hope to all generations.

【解析】

試題分析:本文介紹了孟加拉的一種特殊的教學(xué)方式---校船。因?yàn)槊霞永瓏�地勢較低，因此每年中有五個(gè)月孟加拉都會(huì)受到洪水的影響。因此在孟加拉長大的Mohammed Rezwan創(chuàng)辦了一個(gè)組織，這個(gè)組織提供了這種新式的船上學(xué)校。

【1】F 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。前句介紹孟加拉國地勢較低，接近海平面；后句內(nèi)容提到洪水泛濫造成的問題，由此判斷空格內(nèi)容提到了洪水問題，而F選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容For this reason the land is flooded for five months of every year.恰好符合語境，起到承接作用，故選F。

【2】A考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。后句提到唯一的不同，由此可知這種船上的學(xué)校和陸地上的學(xué)�；�本相同，判斷A選項(xiàng)The boats had everything you might find in a regular classroom.符合語境。

【3】C考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。本段介紹了這種船上學(xué)校的普遍使用，由此判斷這是成功的，故C選項(xiàng)These boats have been a great success.可以起到統(tǒng)領(lǐng)本段的作用，選C。

【4】D考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。前句介紹船上學(xué)校晚上能給學(xué)生和成年人提供額外的學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)，而D選項(xiàng)Both of them can attend evening courses. 恰好是對上句的進(jìn)一步解釋，故選D。

【5】G考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。前句提到這種校船不僅僅提供課本，從而推斷后句內(nèi)容應(yīng)涉及提供的其他方面，而G選項(xiàng)They also deliver knowledge, opportunity, and hope to all generations是介紹校船給人們帶來的好處，also是信息詞，故選G。
