isthat.

A、theyaretaughtbymanydifferentteachers

B、theydonotattendlessonsineverysubject

C、theteachersdonotwanttobefriendly

D、theteachersgivemostattentiontothemoreacademicpupils

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题测试的是对文章细节部分的理解。文章在一开始就指出，在小

学，孩子们大部分时间与一位熟悉的老师建立关系（...andmostofthetimeformsa

relationshipwithonefamiliarteacher.）,言下之意是到了中学就有所区别\。随后文

章乂提到Teacherswithspecialistrolesmayseehundredsofchildreninaweek,anda

pupilmaybeabletoformrelationshipswithveryfewofthestaff.可见，老师比较

多，学生们无法和他们每个人打交道，选项A符合题目的要求，是本题的正确答

案。

49、Insecondaryschoolseverypupilhavingproblemsshould.

A、knowhowtoaskforhelp

B、befreefromanypressureofacademicwork

C^beabletodiscusshisproblemsinclass

D、beabletodiscusshisproblemswithanyteacher

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本题是道句意理解推论题。本题的答案无法在文章中直接找到，但是

可以根据第一段最后一句话进行分析推断。最后一句说：....goodschoolswillmake

cleartoeveryyoungpersonfromthefirstyearwhatguidanceandpersonalhelpis

available-bulwhethertherealityoflifeintheinstitutionactuallyencouragesrequestsfor

helpisanothermatter.学校承诺可以提供帮助，而实际上对是否是这样要提出疑

问，那就说明在现实生活中并非如此。由此可见，本题的正确答案应该是D。

50、Inthispassageaboutsecondaryschools,theauthorismainlyconcernedabout

A、academicstandards

B、theroleofspecialistteachers

C、thetrainingoftheindividualteachers

D、thepersonaldevelopmentofpupils

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本题是道分析推断题。文章在第一段中就提到进入中学，学生们很快

就知道了不能对老师随便乱说话，即使对他们的同学也不能(Thepupilssoonlearns

tobelessfreeinthewayhespeakstoteachersandeventohisfellowpupils.)。在最后一

段中有这么一句话：Heseesagreatdealofmovement,agreatnumberofpeople—

oftenratherfrightening-lookingpeople—andrealizesthatanincreasingnumberof

choicesanddecisionshavetobemacle.从这里也可以看到学生们所面临的处境，而

这些都影响着学生们个人的发展，因此D应该是本题的最佳选项。

51、Whichofthefollowingstatementsistrue?

A、Pupilswillformrelationshipswitholdpupilsratherthanteachers.

Thesettingoftheprimaryschooliscomparativelysimplerthanthatofthesecondary

school.

C、Alltheteachersinthesecondaryschoolareratherfrightening-looking.

D、Pupilshaveopportunitiestogethelpfromanyteacherinthesecondaryschool.

标准答案：B^

知识点解析：本题测试的是对文章细节部分进行辨析的能力。文章的第一句话就说

到在小学，孩子处在一个相对简单的环境里(Intheprimaryschool,achildisina

comparativelysimplesetting...),文章大部分谈论的又是中学的情况，由此可以判断

出第句话中所说的相对简单是与中学相化较而言的，因此在所给四个选项中符合

题意的是B项“小学的环境相对于中学的环境要简单一些”。

52>Whatisthemainideaofthispassage?

A、Thedifferencebetweentheprimaryschoolandthesecondaryschool.

B>Themethodthatpupilsgethelpfromtheteachers.

C>Thepersonaldevelopmentofthepupilsinthesecondaryschool.

D^Thefunctionofthesecondaryschool.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题是道妇纳中心思想的题目。虽然文章中提到了中学和小学的不同

之处，但是这毕竟只是局部问题，不是文章所谈论的中心，因此最具干扰性的A

项不是本题的答案。B和D所述明显与文章不符，所以都要舍去。只有C项“中学

学生个人发展问题”与文章大意相符，是本题的最色选项。
