四.聽短文回答問題

首先還是請你聽一段文章, 內容是說在美國中學里,學生應該念什么課程, 他們 可以選修什么課程等等.這段文章里有今天學過的語法和詞匯.

請你注意聽, 看看能夠聽懂多少.

In American high schools, most students take English, science, math and history. These are basic courses and each course is as useful as the others. In English class, the students study grammar and read famous literature. In science class, they study biology, chemistry or physics. History is more interesting to some students because they learn about important events and places in the United States. Students take other courses too. These are electives. Some of them are music, home economics and computer science. Students don't have to take all of these courses. Some study music because they feel it is more enjoyable. Some study computer science because they think it is more practical. In each class, teachers give students exams. Some exams are more difficult than others, but a good student can always do well.

剛才那段文章如果你沒有全懂, 等一會兒老師還會再念一遍給你聽. 現在我們 先來聽今天測驗的三個問題.

第一個問題是:

M: What are some of the basic American high school courses?

第二個問題是:

M: What do students learn in history classes?

第三個問題是:
