Question

【題目】 I am studying English in a language school in the USA. It is the second week and everything is new to me. Because of the different language and the new environment, I find it difficult to adapt to school life here.

In yesterday’s class, Mr. Peters talked about baseball. He said, “baseball is one of the most popular sports in the USA. If you hope to speak English well, you must understand baseball. First, you need to know the rules. Then you need to try to find how it has to do with daily life.”

He gave us some expressions and let us guess the meanings. Unluckily, I had never watched a baseball game before, so I sat quietly and just listened to the others. After school, I took out a dictionary and asked Jake, one of my friends in the neighboring class, for help. Jake was kind and patient and he has been in the USA for several years. He tried to teach me the baseball rules. I learned that baseball is a game between two teams of nine players. In baseball, a player on one team throws a small round ball at the player on the other team, who tries to hit it back with a bat.

He told me more rules of the game, but the more he said, the more confused（困惑的） I felt! Maybe one day I need to watch a real game to understand it better!

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Because of the different language and the new environment, I find it difficult to adapt to school life here.”可知，因為不同的語言和新環(huán)境，“我”在美國的學習生活是一種挑戰(zhàn)，故選D。
