Question

In Germany there are different kinds of high schools.Some prepare students for workers, others prepare them for college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.
Short days
Most high schools in Germany begin at about 8:00 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. This means your morning will be busy with classes. You will have time to do homework and take part in private(私人的) clubs after school.
Formal setting
In Germany, teachers and students’ relationship is more formal than you might be used to. Teachers are respected and students must use the formal “Sie(德语：您)” when talking to teachers.
Getting to school
Most students take public transport to school or ride a bicycle. Some ares have school buses. It is not common for parents to drive students to school.
Private clubs
In many countries, schools offer official sports and after-school activities. This is less common in Germany. After-school activities are usually organized through private clubs. There are clubs for things like soccer, dance, chair, theatre and almost everything else. Once you are in Germany, ask around at school and talk to other students to find out what private clubs are in your area and meet your interests.
Different states, different schools
Each of Germany’s 16 states has its own slightly different school systems. The school system in Brandenburg will be a little different from the system in Bavaria for example. Where you live, your knowledge level and your age will decide what school you can attend.

Answer 1

【小题1】B
【小题2】A
【小题3】D
【小题4】C

解析1.       Ｂ　细节题。根据Most students take public transport to school or ride a bicycle. Some are have school buses可知提到了公共交通，单车及校车，故Ｂ不是很常见，由下文的It is not common for parents to drive students to school也可知道是Ｂ。
2.       Ａ　猜测词义题。从下文students must use the formal “Sie(德语：您)” when talking to teachers可知学生对老师讲话时必须用正式用语 “您”，故学生对老师很尊敬，选Ａ。
3.       Ｄ　从Some prepare students for workers, others prepare them for college可知有的准备当工人，有的准备上大学，故Ａ错；Ｂ答案文章没有讲到；文章提到了课后活动，但没说是上午8点到下午3点30，而是说的上课的时间，故Ｃ错；根据Once you are in Germany, ask around at school and talk to other students to find out what private clubs are in your area and meet your interests可知学生可以根据自己的兴趣来选择私人俱乐部，故Ｄ正确。
4.       Ｃ　主旨题。全文主要讲的是德国中学的情况，包括学校生活，上学方式，私人俱乐部等，故选Ｃ。而Ａ,Ｂ,Ｄ只是文章的一个方面。
