答案与题解:
U+ @: o6 w, Y3 L. \; y 1. C 本题的问题是:Maria想去个怎样的学校?由文中第三段可明确得出结论。“Maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school .” A, B, D项均有明显错误。
' v3 A$ y* |: a* n% {) A# e, U 2. C 本题的问题是:在当时的意大利大多数女孩的选择是什么?由文中的第一段可知“Most girls from middle?–class families chose to stay home after primary school ,”所以本题的正确答案为C. * M/ _) S7 k. Z% W& D+ H
3. B 本题为推理题,问题是:从全文可以得出什么样的结论?A选项未提及。C选项错误,原文只说大多数女孩子都选择呆在家里,并未说她们都不喜欢读书。D选项错误,原文只说就算是上学的话大多数女孩子都选择传统学校,而并非只有女孩子可以去。所以正确答案为B.
' ~) i# u' q' z, X; a7 I 4. B 本题问的是:Maria的父亲对女性的态度是什么?由文中第三段倒数第二句“Most people—including Maria’s father —believed in the girls would never be able to understand these subjects.”可以得出答案,父亲和大多数人一样都持传统观念。
4 U; l. J$ [- z4 X8 j7 c" V: U 5. D 本题的问题是:当时的意大利高中教师是怎样的?从文中最后一段可以得出结论“Teachers were very demanding, discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient,”故正确答案为D. |
