Question

Like schools in China, American schools begin in September after a long summer vacation. The first term is from September to January and the second is from February to June. Usually American children begin to go to school when they are five years old. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school.
But unlike middle school students in China, high school students in America take only four or five subjects each term. They usually go to the same classes every day and have homework for every class. After class they do all kinds of interesting things.
After high school, many students go to college. They may go to a small or a large one. They usually have to pay a lot for their higher education. So lots of students work after school to make money for their studies.

Answer 1

【小題1】B
【小題2】A
【小題3】D

解析試題分析：這篇文章講述了美國的教育制度，有的和中國的學(xué)校一樣，有的就有差別。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章可知，美國的第二個學(xué)期是從2月份到6月份，第一個學(xué)期是從9月份到1月份，可知，暑假持續(xù)兩個月。故選B
【小題2】推斷題。根據(jù)文章After high school, many students go to college.可知，高中畢業(yè)之后，許多學(xué)生就去上大學(xué)。所以college的意思是大學(xué)。故選A
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章So lots of students work after school to make money for their studies.可知，很多學(xué)生課后去打工是為了為他們的學(xué)習(xí)賺一些錢。故選D
考點：社會現(xiàn)象類說明文
