這篇閱讀材料涉及四所學(xué)校的招生廣告，都是關(guān)于英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的。瀏覽后面的題目，根據(jù)其具體要求就能選擇出適合于自己的學(xué)校。
1.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。既然“每天從上午9:00工作至下午4:30，連周末都工作，那么只能選擇晚上有課程的學(xué)校了�！�，那么在這四所學(xué)校中只有Global English Center和The International House設(shè)有晚間課程。不難判斷A為正確答案。
2.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。21世紀(jì)英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)中心與眾不同之處是需要進(jìn)行Entrance exams (入學(xué)考試)，這一點(diǎn)在其他三所學(xué)校的廣告中均未談及；而其它如“教學(xué)質(zhì)量好”、“離市中心近”等，在另外三所學(xué)校的廣告中也可以見(jiàn)到。因此D為正確答案。
3.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 “你也許喜歡去International House的原因”可以從廣告前言和廣告本身中得知。前言中說(shuō)，“你現(xiàn)在正在找地方提高英語(yǔ)，特別是口語(yǔ)”，而The International House的廣告中說(shuō)“提供四個(gè)月的口語(yǔ)能力訓(xùn)練課程”，因此，只有a special course in spoken English才是最吸引你的，而不是“觀光、社會(huì)活動(dòng)或價(jià)格便宜”。故C為正確答案。
4.D計(jì)算題。廣告中說(shuō)“每周12小時(shí)60元”，那么一個(gè)月四周要近千元。故D為正確答案。
5.C文章出處題。結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容可知這是四則廣告，所以選C。
