Question

Hello, I'm Zheng Yishi from Shanghai. I'm 15 years old. I study at Walsh Jesuit High School in Cleveland, Ohio, US. I Like reading, traveling and listening to music. I'm glad to share my experience with you.

Have you ever wondered what PE classes are like in other countries? In China, PE tests are required to graduate from both middle school and high school. To get good grades on the PE tests, Chinese students will need to practice running as well as doing sit-ups and pull-ups. However, this is not the way that PE classes work in US high schools.

In my high school, we are required to take two terms of PE to graduate. We play real sports during PE classes, such as basketball and volleyball. There are also some other typical American sports that we often play, such as kickball and dodgeball(躲避球).

I didn't know the rules of kickball and dodgeball when I first came to the US. The teacher allowed me to sit on the sidelines and watch how other students played it in order to let me find out the rules.

We also learn some useful life skills in PE. Last year, I learned how to do CPR(心肺复苏), which is a life-saving skill. We were also taught how to provide first aid to someone who is choking(窒息).These skills are a large part of the final grade for the PE class in my high school. Self-defense(自卫)is taught in PE class as well. This includes some tae kwon do(跆拳道)and karate(空手道) skills, as well as Chinese kung fu. It is practical. I prefer PE classes in the US to the ones in China. I think they are more fun and useful. What do you think?

【解析】

文章大意：我是来自上海的Zheng Yishi，我在美国Walsh Jesuit High School上学。美国的体育课和中国并不一样。在我的高中，我们上两个学期的体育课，我们做真正的运动，并学习一些有用的技能。

1.细节理解题。根据文中的信息The teacher allowed me to sit on the sidelines and watch how other students played it in order to let me find out the rules.可知，作者通过观看别人的比赛来学习踢球和躲避球的规则。故答案选B。

2.细节理解题。根据文中的信息We play real sports during PE classes, 我们在体育课上做真正的运动。I learned how to do CPR(心肺复苏), which is a life-saving skill. 我学会了如何做心肺复苏术，这是一项挽救生命的技能。Self-defense(自卫)is taught in PE class as well.在体育课上也教自卫。结合选项可知A、B、C选项在体育课上作者都可以学到，但D选项“如何治疗烧伤”在文中没有提到，所以作者应是学不到的，故答案选D。

3.主旨大意题。通读全文，结合文中的信息Have you ever wondered what PE classes are like in other countries? ……However, this is not the way that PE classes work in US high schools.

你有没有想过在其他国家体育课是什么样的？……然而，这并不是美国高中体育课的教学方式。可知，本文主要是介绍美国体育课是什么样的，故答案选B。
