答案：1．A;2．D;3．D;4．B;
解析：

(1)

既然“每天從上午9∶00工作至下午4∶30，連周末都工作，那么只能選擇晚上有課程的學校了．”，那么在這四所學校中只有Global English Center和The International House設有晚間課程．不難判斷A為正確答案．

(2)

21世紀英語培訓中心與眾不同之處是需要進行Entrance exams (入學考試)，這一點在其他三所學校的廣告中均未談及；而其它如“教學質(zhì)量好”、“離市中心近”等，在另外三所學校的廣告中也可以見到．因此D為正確答案．

(3)

廣告中說“每周12小時60元”，那么一個月四周要近千元．故D為正確答案．

(4)

　　“你也許喜歡去International House的原因”可以從廣告前言和廣告本身中得知．前言中說，“你現(xiàn)在正在找地方提高英語，特別是口語”，而The International House的廣告中說“提供四個月的口語能力訓練課程”，因此，只有a special course in spoken English才是最吸引你的，而不是“觀光、社會活動或價格便宜”．另外，選項D與廣告實際內(nèi)容不符．故B為正確答案．

　　這篇閱讀材料涉及四所學校的招生廣告，都是關于英語學習的．瀏覽后面的題目，根據(jù)其具體要求就能選擇出適合于自己的學校．

　　when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk

　　across the floor of the ocean．Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go．

　　What do Napoleon, Clinton and Wang Nan have in common? They are all left-handed．

　　Today, about 15％of the number of people is left-handed．But why are people left-handed? The answer is the way the brain(大腦)works．The brain has two halves---- the right half controls the left side of the body, and the left controls the right side of the body．So right-handed people have a strong left-brain and left-handed people have a strong right brain．
