Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical high school and its students.
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school,they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive,students would rather borrow than buy them. Students must pay back if they lose any of them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age,most take a 什ee driving class at school for one term. If students get passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver's exam,they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day,students take six or seven classes. They must take science,maths,English and social studies. They can choose art,homemaking,clothes making and other classes. In some schools students are asked to take one or more of the following special classes:health education,physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes,to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
The school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students take part in after-school activities. These activities include sports—especially football,basketball,baseball and soccer or clubs,such as yearbook,speech,school newspaper,and photography and student government.
1. How many students are there in the typical American school?
2. Does each of the students have a locker at school?
3. What subjects must they study?
4. What do they do after school?
5. What can you learn about the American school life from the passage? (At least 2 points)
71. There are about 1. 500 students.
72. Yes,they do.
73. Science,maths,English and social studies.
74. They do/have/take part in after-school activities.
75. School size,transport,subjects,and after-school activities.

[例3]
Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture”?Recently social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans,or if some animals have a culture,too. When we speak of culture,we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common. Culture is the forms of behavior (行为) that help people to live together. It is also the forms of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Human beings use tools,cooperate with one another,and communicate with languages. But these aspects (方面) of human behavior,or “culture,can also be found in the lives of certain a-nimals. Animals can make tools,for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately,however,we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to com- j municate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think. (2012山西C篇)
()l. According to the article ,“culture” means .
A. the languages we learn
B. the good habits we share with each other
C. the forms of behavior we have in common
() 2. From the fact that chimpanzees can use and make tools,we know .
A. animals may have a culture like our own
B. animals can be as clever as human beings
C. animals have the ability to help human beings
() 3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A. Chimpanzees never help each other.
B. Animals use their own language to communicate.
C. People from different places have the same culture.
() 4. The traditional idea about dividing animals from human beings is that .
A. human beings can use tools
B. human beings can depend on each other
C. human beings have the language to communicate
() 5. The main idea of the article is that .
A. the animal culture is different from the human culture
B. knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behavior
C. the line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as dear as we might think
分析:1.选 推理判断题。在第一段中关于culture作者用了下定义的方法解释。“When we speak of culture,we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common. Culture is the forms of behavior (行为) that help people to live together. It is also the forms of behavior that make one group of people different from another group."
2. 选 推理判断题。在推理的时候要关注表示作者观点的词,尤其是表示转折的连词“ however,it is important that. 从原文中“Lately, however,we have found that this is not the case. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think. ”可以推测出答案。
3. 选 细节理解题。从原文中最后一段“Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. ”可以得出答案。
4. 选 细节理解题。这里要注意词的转化。问题中用的是“the traditional idea”,在原文中是没有原词出现的,需要考生注意到“We used to think”同义词的替换
5. 选 主旨大意题。在寻找主旨句时候考生要注意到表示作者论点的句子多出现在句首或句末,本文通过大猩猩的例子,论证出动物和人的区别也未必就是会使用工具,因为文章最后一句为主旨句。
