35、 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了全年制教育与九个月制的区别, 以及全年制教育的缺点和优点。1. 【解析】选D。根据上文Students in year-round schools attend school the same number of days as students in traditional nine-month schools. 可知全年制学校的学生与传统的9个月制学校的学生上课的天数相同。根据后文Instead of the traditional nine months of school and a long, three-month summer vaca
36、tion, the students have several short breaks between sessions all through the year. 可知与传统的9个月的在校学习和3个月长的暑假不同, 学生们在一年中有几次短暂的休息。由此可知, 上文提到了全年制和九个月制的共同点, 那么本句应当是说明全年制与九个月制的不同之处。故D选项“全年制学校的不同之处在于时间安排的不同”符合语境, 故选D。2. 【解析】选A。根据上文Instead of single-track schooling that involves an entire school using the sa
37、me schedule and getting the same vacations off, multiple-track year-round schooling has groups of students attending school at different times with different vacations. 可知与单轨学校不同的是, 多轨学校让不同的学生在不同的时间和假期上学, 而不是整个学校使用相同的时间表和相同的假期。由此可知, 本句承接上文说明结果, 多轨学校因为让不同的学生在不同的时间和假期上学, 所以结果就是总有一群学生在放假。故A选项“因此总会有一群学生
38、在放假”符合语境, 故选A。3. 【解析】选G。根据上文The major advantage of year-round schooling is that it provides the continuous learning that can be lost over a long vacation as the students are not ever out of school for a long period of time. 可知全年制教育的主要优点是, 因为学生不会离开学校很长一段时间所以它提供了持续的学习, 而这种学习可能会因为长假期而失去。由此可知, 本句承接上文继续说
39、明全年制教育的优点, 因为学生不会离开学校很长一段时间, 所以学生们遗忘的知识会更少。故G选项“因此, 在较短的休息时间里, 学生们忘记的东西更少”符合语境, 故选G。4. 【解析】选E。根据后文For example, with one group of students always on vacation, a school that was built for 750 students can serve as many as 1, 000. This lets school districts with little or no money for building new scho

41、include the inconvenience to families with children in both traditional and year-round schools. (缺点包括对有孩子在传统学校和全年制学校上学的家庭的不便)以及后文And some people say it interferes with activities that take place outside schoolincluding summer employment.
