Question

【題目】Answer the questions（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題):

Electives(選修課) are always popular with students because they offer the chance to learn something exciting, and they’re a welcome break from regular courses like maths and physics. Here are just a few of the exciting electives lucky teenagers can take in some of China’s middle schools.

Self-defense skills

A school from Chongqing

The school offers a self-defense course — just for girls. Those who attend the lessons have the chance to study basic self-protection skills in a one-on-one practice. They learn how to get away when they need to and defend themselves against attacks. “I feel safer in myself now,” said Zhang Yi, 15, a girl student.

Pottery

A school from Tianjin

The famous pottery scene in a movie called Ghost is a lasting memory for many movie-goers. Young artists at the school love to get their hands dirty creating beautiful pieces. Students learn how to design and make various clay projects. At the end, they have the skills to make their own clay bowls, cups, vases and pots.

Horse riding

A school from Beijing

Equestrians(馬術(shù)) can look pretty cool, can’t they? Teenagers at this school can now choose a course in riding skills. They’re taught to communicate with their horses and how to use reins. To ride a horse in the proper way, a student must hold the head forward and keep his back straight. Students come away from this elective not only knowing how to ride a horse gracefully, but also physically fitter!

Couplets

A school from Nanjing

How many of you can write a couplet? This old literary(文學(xué)的) form is slowly disappearing, but Chinese culture lovers at the school are trying to make it alive. For their elective, teenagers study old couplets and try to rhyme(押韻) their own lines. Many of this year’s students can’t wait for the Spring Festival, when they’ll be able to show off their new skills.

【解析】

本文介紹了中國(guó)中學(xué)里出現(xiàn)的一些選修課：防身技能課、陶藝課、馬術(shù)課和對(duì)聯(lián)課。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第1段中“they’re a welcome break from regular courses like maths and physics”可知數(shù)學(xué)和物理不屬于選修課。此處用否定回答。故答案為：No, they aren’t.

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知文中介紹了防身技能課、陶藝課、馬術(shù)課和對(duì)聯(lián)課四個(gè)選修課。故答案為：There are four.

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中信息“The school offers a self-defense course — just for girls.”可知防身技能課是特別為女學(xué)生設(shè)置的。故答案為：Self-defense skills.

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中信息“At the end, they have the skills to make their own clay bowls, cups, vases and pots.”可知在陶藝課結(jié)束時(shí)學(xué)生們可以擁有自己的陶制碗、杯子、花瓶和壺。故答案為：They can have their own clay bowls, cups, vases and pots.

【5】推理判斷題。防身技能課和馬術(shù)課都屬于運(yùn)動(dòng)型選修課，由此可推出它們的共同優(yōu)點(diǎn)是：能使學(xué)生更健康、更強(qiáng)壯、更有自信。故答案為“to become fitter, stronger and more confident”。

【6】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中信息“This old literary form is slowly disappearing, but Chinese culture lovers at the school are trying to make it alive.”可知對(duì)聯(lián)是正在慢慢消逝的中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化，由此可推出對(duì)聯(lián)課將吸引喜歡中國(guó)文化的人，因?yàn)榭梢詫W(xué)習(xí)傳統(tǒng)寫對(duì)聯(lián)方式，并使正在消失的技能重現(xiàn)生機(jī)；結(jié)合文中信息“Many of this year’s students can’t wait for the Spring Festival, when they’ll be able to show off their new skills.”可知也可以是因?yàn)槟茉诩磳⒌絹?lái)的春節(jié)中創(chuàng)造新對(duì)聯(lián)并展示中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)技能之美。故答案為：It will attract those who love Chinese literature (literary works), because in the course they can learn the traditional way of writing couplets and make the disappearing skill alive./ because they can try creating new couplets in the coming Spring Festival and show the beauty of traditional Chinese skill.
