参考答案

1.C解析：本文虽然主要谈的是有关“体育和教育的问题”，但是并没有把这两者进行直接的对比，文章中出现了“Youngkids，energetic；rambunctious,coopedupinclass,yearnfortherelativemond．那些精力充沛、调皮捣蛋的小孩子被关进教室后，巴望着橄槛球场、篮球场和棒球场，比起教室那可是自由天地。”这里并不表明“更加自由的”运动场就一定更受喜爱。

2.A解析：文章主旨题。一般文章的主旨句在文章的开头或结尾，在第一段最后一句作者说Seeifyoucanrecognizeyourownpersonalstudymethodonthelistbelowand
