小題2:D
小題3:B
小題4:D
小題5:B

　　
試題分析：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。
小題1:細節理解題。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。
小題2:細節理解題。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。
小題3:細節理解題。根據“The International House of English”的廣告4-month,
60yuan per week介紹，每星期60yuan，每月約4星期，所以晚間課程每月需要花240yuan。故選B。
小題4:細節理解題。“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”。故D為正確答案。
小題5:細節理解題。根據Global English Center的廣告描述，他們開設的課程有Listening, speaking, reading, writing，沒有電腦課，故B不正確。所以選B。
