Question

【題目】Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school.

At School

The school day begins at 8:30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day's studies. Each homeroom has an average of 40-45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities(設(shè)備) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐廳), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.

Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years' each of the following subjects mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral(道德的) studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives(選修科目) are few.

Afterschool Activities

Club activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs (baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs(English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于說明文，主要說明了日本的中學(xué)教育情況，重點(diǎn)介紹了學(xué)生在校生活和課外活動情況。

【1】D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段倒數(shù)第二句Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐廳), but most do not.可知大部分學(xué)校沒有自助餐廳，學(xué)生只好在教室里用餐。故D正確。

【2】A 數(shù)字計算題。根據(jù)第四段第一句Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students.可知日本學(xué)生一年在校240天，比美國學(xué)生多60天�？芍�美國學(xué)生一年在校180天。故A正確。

【3】C 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)本句Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable.后半句the clubs are relatively stable俱樂部相對穩(wěn)定。說明日本學(xué)生很少換俱樂部。所以該詞意為“很少”。故C正確。

【4】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句Given the number of required subjects, electives(選修科目) are few.與必修科目相比，選修科目很少。故C項(xiàng)正確。
