Question

Though the ways of teaching have come a long way, the ways of communicating between teachers and students are almost the same. But now, a European country is trying to change that by building schools that have no classrooms, no subject lessons and best of all, no grades.

The idea behind the special school is that children are creative. And researchers also think that kids’ learning and ideas are as important as those of the CEO of Google, so why not give them a similar environment? Kids may be successful in such an environment.

To make kids more creative, the schools are built with special learning areas instead of traditional classrooms. And even the lessons are taught in a special way, with mobile phones and computers.

There is no “right” or “wrong” kind of education. The school believes that everything is a learning experience, whether it is about a serious science project or making a movie inside the school’s recording studio.

One of the special schools opened in August, 2011. It has five learning areas. The Cave is a secluded place where students fix their attention on individual (個人的) projects without being bothered (打擾). The Lab is a place where students can do all kinds of experiments and test their ideas. Kids can work in groups in the same projects in The Camp Fire. The Show Off is where kids can show their inventions. And if the kids need a rest, they can visit The Watering Hole, which has all kinds of fun activities.

Sounds great? And the coolest thing is that the school is free! I hope more schools like this will appear in the world!

試題分析: 本文提到現(xiàn)代的教育交流方式很單一，現(xiàn)在歐洲國家嘗試改變，建立一個沒有教室，沒有課程，沒有分?jǐn)?shù)的學(xué)校，全是為了開發(fā)學(xué)生的創(chuàng)造性，沒有對錯之分，學(xué)校分為五個區(qū)域，有助于學(xué)生潛能的開發(fā)，并且是免費(fèi)的。

1.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段提到To make kids more creative, the schools are built with special learning areas instead of traditional classrooms為了使學(xué)生更有創(chuàng)造性，他們建的學(xué)校是特殊學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)域而不是傳統(tǒng)的教室，所以選A項。

2.C 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)第二段提到The idea behind the special school is that children are creative.這個學(xué)校為那些有創(chuàng)造力的學(xué)習(xí)準(zhǔn)備的，所以推斷出C項。

3.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段提到The Cave is a secluded place where students fix their attention on individual (個人的) projects without being bothered (打擾)這個地方是一個安靜的地方，在這，學(xué)生能集中注意力到個人的項目上而且不被打擾，所以選A項。

4.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中提到主要介紹五個學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)域，沒有提到分?jǐn)?shù)，也沒有提到聰明的學(xué)生，而D項沒有教室不是這段的內(nèi)容，所以選C項。
