解析试题分析:这篇阅读材料涉及四所学校的招生广告,都是关于英语学习的。浏览后面的题目,根据其具体要求就能选择出适合于自己的学校。
【小题1】细节理解题。既然“每天从上午9:00工作至下午4:30,连周末都工作,那么只能选择晚上有课程的学校了。”,那么在这四所学校中只有Global English Center和The International House设有晚间课程。不难判断B为正确答案。
【小题2】细节理解题。21世纪英语培训中心与众不同之处是需要进行Entrance exams (入学考试),这一点在其他三所学校的广告中均未谈及;而其它如“教学质量好”、“离市中心近”等,在另外三所学校的广告中也可以见到。因此D为正确答案。
【小题3】细节理解题。 “你也许喜欢去International House的原因”可以从广告前言和广告本身中得知。前言中说,“你现在正在找地方提高英语,特别是口语”,而The International House的广告中说“提供四个月的口语能力训练课程”,因此,只有a special course in spoken English才是最吸引你的,而不是“观光、社会活动或价格便宜”。故B为正确答案。
【小题4】计算题。题目问:如果你在The International House of English上晚上的课程,定位到最后一个广告中说60 yuan for 12 hours per week, convenient (方便的) class hours: “每周12小时60元”,和A four-month evening programme for developing speaking skills (same cost as day classes). 晚上的课程和白天是一样的,那么一个月四周要近千元。故D为正确答案。

It's slimbudget time in Las Vegas
Las Vegas? It's where halfprice flights are wide open and where reservations are easily booked on a moment's notice. Tourism is down, so rooms are plentiful, as well as inexpensive.
Getting there: The best way to get there from McCarran Airport is to exit the baggage claim through Door 11 and check in at any number of shuttle booths. Shuttle vans that run between the airport and the Las Vegas Strip cost $6 for a oneway trip.
Leaving Las Vegas:Many Vegas vacationers are eager to get there and slow to leave. So take the “redeye” back home. Most redeye flights leave around midnight, leaving you with an extra night of gaming, and fun without added expense of a higher hotel charge. You can sleep the whole way home.
Romantic getaway: Las Vegas is no longer all about gaming. The artwork at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art is certainly comparable to that at the Louvre. Speaking of Paris, take a trip up the Eiffel Tower at ParisLas Vegas. The Eiffel Tower Experience costs just $10($7 for kids) and is unquestionably worth the price of admission. For an intimate evening, don't hesitate to book reservations at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. Get an impressive nighttime view of the Fountains at Bellagio by asking for seating alongside the floortoceiling windows. This is truly a oneofakind finedining experience. Details:www.parislasvegas.com.
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes:Casinos(娱乐场) can appear very close together, but actually may not be. Know the tram systems that run up and down the Strip. Most tram lines are free.
Shows:Purchase show tickets at one of the many “Half Priced Show” booths on the Strip. You can experience a unique show each night of your stay. Need a look at what's playing when you'll be there? Visit www.booklasvegasshows.com.
Buffets:In Vegas you can take anything to the next level—including eating. Seven casinos on the Strip have teamed up to bring you an amazing deal:seven buffets—breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner—all for just $44.99 within a 24hour period. Details:www.harrahs.com/total/lasvegas/buffetofbuffets.

According to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months, a child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, “Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement.But it really doesn’t have to be that way,” said Anaclerio.Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called “A Party in a Basket.” Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.
Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created 10 ready-to-use, home party packages.Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.
“Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10,” Anaclerio said, “and they’re very interactive(互动) and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject.For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations.”
The standard $200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like.For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141.
【小题1】The main purpose of writing this text is _____.
A.to share information about party planning |

D.to announce a business plan |
A.it brings parents and children closer together |
