【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述英国蒙特学校的老师需要用绿色的笔批改作业，为此不同的老师有不同的意见。

【1】

根据上文“What color do …and exam papers?”以及下文“Yeah. Teachers …and homework”可知，作者做出设问：老师用什么颜色的笔批改作业，回答：老师总是用红笔批改。与之搭配的应该是：是红色，不是吗？故答案为A。

【2】

根据下文“The headmaster… students’ papers and homework,”可知，校长让老师用绿色的笔批改作业，此处与上文有一个转折，所以与之搭配的应该是：但是在英国，蒙特学校的老师需要把他们的红笔收起来。故选E。

【3】

根据下文“A study shows that color is negative(消极的) color. Red pens can make students worried and unhappy.”研究显示红色是消极的颜色，能让学生感到忧虑和不开心，此为解释校长要求换掉红笔的理由，与之搭配的应该是：为什么老师不再使用红笔呢？故选C。

【4】

根据上文“Students can do better if teachers use green pens.”以及下文“I always use red pens…more easily.”可知，一个老师赞同用绿色笔，另一个人认为红色笔能让孩子更容易读到批阅，双方执相反的意见。与之搭配的应该是：但是，有一个老师，克里斯·麦戈文不同意这个观点。故选B。
