答案與題解:
1. C 本題的問題是:Maria想去個怎樣的學校?由文中第三段可明確得出結論。“Maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school .” A, B, D項均有明顯錯誤。
2. C 本題的問題是:在當時的意大利大多數女孩的選擇是什么?由文中的第一段可知“Most girls from middle–class families chose to stay home after primary school ,”所以本題的正確答案為C.
3. B 本題為推理題,問題是:從全文可以得出什么樣的結論?A選項未提及。C選項錯誤,原文只說大多數女孩子都選擇呆在家里,并未說她們都不喜歡讀書。D選項錯誤,原文只說就算是上學的話大多數女孩子都選擇傳統學校,而并非只有女孩子可以去。所以正確答案為B.
4. B 本題問的是:Maria的父親對女性的態度是什么?由文中第三段倒數第二句“Most people—including Maria’s father —believed in the girls would never be able to understand these subjects.”可以得出答案,父親和大多數人一樣都持傳統觀念。
5. D 本題的問題是:當時的意大利高中教師是怎樣的?從文中最后一段可以得出結論“Teachers were very demanding, discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient,”故正確答案為D.
