Question

8．Australia is a big country，but it has a population of only 20 million．Some families live on farms，hundreds of kilometres from a town or a city．Children from these families can't travel to school every day，so many of them use a special school：the Australian School of Air．

Answer 1

分析 文章大意：
澳大利亞是一個大國，但它的人口只有2000萬．一些家庭生活在農場，離城市有幾百公里遠．這些家庭的孩子不能每天上學，所以許多人使用一所特殊學校：澳大利亞空軍學院．
在澳大利亞有十二家航空學校，超過1000名學生使用他們．空中學校的學生不與其他學生在教室里上課．他們自己在家學習．航空學校與澳大利亞的任何其他學校擁有相同的課程，所以在空軍學校的學生并沒有劣勢．空軍學校的教師準備課程，并通過郵寄或電子郵件發送給學生．學生必須學習這些課程，每周五至六個小時，星期一至星期五．他們每周將他們的工作交給教師一次，通過無線電或互聯網討論．他們還可以從學校圖書館借書．
一年一次或兩次，老師訪問每個學生．老師與學生花一天時間，幫助他們的工作，與他們討論問題．老師經常與家人一起吃晚飯，在學生的房子住宿一晚．有3或4個年度聚會，孩子們去學校與他們的老師和同學呆上一個星期．教師和學生也可以在體育嘉年華上集合．這發生在愛麗絲泉的運動場，一般一年一次．學生和他們的家庭可以一起參加各種各樣的活動．這是一個偉大的方式，他們一起做運動，結交朋友．無論他們離學校多遠，年度體育日和畢業時，幾乎所有的學生都會參加．

解答 48．A，推理判斷題，文中提到"Children from these families can't travel to school every day，so many of them use a special school：the Australian School of Air"因為孩子離學校太遠，所以建立了空軍學校，所以選擇A．
49．C，推理判斷題，文中提到"Once or twice a year，a teacher visits every student at home"老師一年有一次或兩次去學生家里輔導，A錯誤；由"They study at home on their own"可知，只能在自家學習，B錯誤C正確；文中提到"The students have to work on these lessons for five or six hours a day"，所以每天學習5-6個小時，D錯誤；因此選擇C．
50．B，推理判斷題，文中提到"They can also borrow books from the school library．The books arrive by post"可以從學校圖書館借書，然后郵寄到家，所以選擇B．
51．C，推理判斷題，文中提到"Students and their families can get together and take part in different kinds of activities．"學校活動家長也可以參加，A錯誤；文中提到"They send their work to the teachers once a week"學生交作業是一周一次，所以老師也是一周一次，所以B錯誤；由"the annual sports day and graduation is attended by almost all the students．"可知所有學生都喜歡參加，所以C正確；文中提到"students in the School of Air are not disadvantaged"空軍學校的學生并不處于劣勢，因此選擇C．
