Question

   Most middle school students find it boring to learn English. But students in Yat Sen middle school in New York, US, don’t think so. Why? Because they are in the school of One Program, which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have math lessons.

“The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare with it. We give each lesson according to the students’ interest and their strong and weak points,” said JoelⅠ. Klein, the school’s head teacher, “we’re looking for a new way that interest students children.”

Students enjoy these math lessons, especially lessons with video games. They must find out the answers to math problems to get through the game. One such game is Dimension M. As students move through mazes(迷宮) with their keyboards, some questions come up.

Caleb Deng had to answer the question: What is 5+ (6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a minute left to play.

“ I was right,” said Deng, 14, as he ended the game with a high score (高分). “this really makes math lessons more exciting, since we are fighting to learn better.”

Answer 1

【主旨大意】本文是篇說(shuō)明文。主要說(shuō)明了美國(guó)的Yet Sen學(xué)校的孩子們學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)的一種新的方式：通過(guò)操縱電腦，走 迷宮游戲這樣的新的方法喜歡上了數(shù)學(xué)

1     B     細(xì)節(jié)理解題    由第一段可知，美國(guó)Yet Sen學(xué)校的孩子們，通過(guò)操縱電腦喜歡上了數(shù)學(xué)。

2     B     推理判斷題    根據(jù)第二段的描述可知，學(xué)校老師根據(jù)學(xué)生的興趣愛(ài)好、強(qiáng)項(xiàng)與弱點(diǎn)進(jìn)行授課，可知這個(gè)項(xiàng)目對(duì)大部分學(xué)生而言是有趣的，而不是無(wú)聊的，故B項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤。
