Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．D;3．D;4．B;
解析：

(1)	既然“每天從上午9∶00工作至下午4∶30，連周末都工作，那么只能選擇晚上有課程的學校了．”，那么在這四所學校中只有Global English Center和The International House設有晚間課程．不難判斷A為正確答案．
(2)	21世紀英語培訓中心與眾不同之處是需要進行Entrance exams (入學考試)，這一點在其他三所學校的廣告中均未談及；而其它如“教學質量好”、“離市中心近”等，在另外三所學校的廣告中也可以見到．因此D為正確答案．
(3)	廣告中說“每周12小時60元”，那么一個月四周要近千元．故D為正確答案．
(4)	“你也許喜歡去International House的原因”可以從廣告前言和廣告本身中得知．前言中說，“你現在正在找地方提高英語，特別是口語”，而The International House的廣告中說“提供四個月的口語能力訓練課程”，因此，只有a special course in spoken English才是最吸引你的，而不是“觀光、社會活動或價格便宜”．另外，選項D與廣告實際內容不符．故B為正確答案． 　　這篇閱讀材料涉及四所學校的招生廣告，都是關于英語學習的．瀏覽后面的題目，根據其具體要求就能選擇出適合于自己的學校．
