Question

Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana.  Last year, he taught his students about the world’s rain forests.  They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.
Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem.  Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute!  As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America.  They paid $25 per acre.  The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.
So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river.  They saw alligators and crocodiles.  In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest.  “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest.  They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at e us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.
Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture.  During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities.  They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.
Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.

試題分析：本文敘述了印第安納州的一所中學的老師邁克·梅爾斯和他的學生為了保護熱帶雨林，買下了三公頃熱帶雨林。學生們對熱帶雨林感到好奇于是決定進行一次旅行去看看熱帶雨林。他們坐著船順著一條河流而下，他們看到了短吻鱷和鱷魚。在熱帶雨林中，猴子不高興見到他們，向他們扔樹枝。他們還做了一些有趣的活動，像騎馬，漂流和參觀哥斯達黎加的活火山。
小題1:推理判斷題。根據Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America.  They paid $25 per acre.可知學生買了3公頃熱帶雨林，每公頃是25美元，共是25×3=75美元。 故選B。
小題2:細節理解題。根據So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river.可知在旅行剛開始的時候，他們坐著一艘小船沿著河流而下。故選C。
小題3:詞義猜測題。根據 Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute!可知熱帶雨林正在消失，正在被破壞，故選A。
小題4:細節理解題。根據The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest可知猴子看到我們在熱帶雨林里并不高興，因此是感到生氣。故選B。
小題5:推理判斷題。根據The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed.可知學生和老師買了三公頃熱帶雨林是希望保護熱帶雨林不收破壞，這是為保護熱帶雨林所做的一些事。故選A。
