Question

【題目】As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Long Zhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn’t what I expected. It didn’t look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and the other for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me.

The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. To my surprise, though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.

I was busy preparing lessons and reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their level is becoming higher and higher, and we are good friends now.

I have worked in Long Zhou for a year now. I’m very happy, and the experience has been very useful to me. I love the small village and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.

【解析】這篇短文講述了作者去廣西的一所鄉(xiāng)村學校做志愿者的事情。那里的學校很簡陋，學生們的水平也比較差。但是孩子們想要學習知識，他們需要像作者這樣的人。在那里工作了一段時間之后，作者也喜歡上了那里，想要繼續(xù)在那里工作下去。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據短文第二段中They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai.可知，作者給孩子們講述他在上海的生活，由此我們可以知道作者來自上海。故應選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據短文第一段中It didn’t look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and the other for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me.可知，作者去的廣西龍洲的一個鄉(xiāng)村學校里只有三個房間。由此可知應選B。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據短文中On my way there, I thought about the village, the school and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn’t what I expected可知，在去那個學校的時候，作者對它進行了一番設想。但是學校真實的樣子跟作者想的是完全不一樣的，很簡陋。因此我們可以猜到，當作者看到這個學校的時候，他的心沉了下去，他感到很不安。因此A選項符合文意。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據短文第二段中The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. To my surprise, though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it可知，作者給學生們進行了一個測試，盡管測試很簡單，但是一半多的學生都沒有及格。由此可知，學生們的水平比作者想象的要更低。故應選C。

【5】推理判斷題。根據短文第三段和第四段中I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children... I understand their level is becoming higher and higher, and we are good friends now... I’m very happy, and the experience has been very useful to me. I love the small village and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here可知，作者很喜歡在那里工作，想要繼續(xù)在那里工作下去，因此B選項是不對的。
