答案与解析
No.6
Explanation
The correct answer is C.
The letter “E” makes the /e/ sound, as in the word “elephant”.
Answer A is incorrect because the letter “A” makes the /a/ sound, as in the word “ant”.
Answer B is incorrect because the letter “S” makes the /s/ sound, as in the word “snake”.
Answer D is incorrect because the letter “B” makes the /b/ sound, as in the word “box”.
No.7
Explanation
The correct answers are A and C.
Words that rhyme are words that end with the same sound.
The words “cat” and “bat” both end with the sound /at/, so they rhyme.
Answer B is incorrect because the word “boat” ends with the sound /oat/, which is different from the sound /at/.
Answer D is incorrect because the word “bus” ends with the sound /us/, which is different from the sound /at/.
No.8
Explanation
The correct answers are B and C.
When adding the ending “s” to a noun, it changes the noun from singular (one) to plural (more than one).
In the words “apples” and “bananas”, the ending “s” was added to the singular forms of the words (apple and banana) and changed them from one to more than one.
Therefore, the words “apples” and “bananas” are in plural form.
The words “store”, “bus”, and “home” are in singular form, so these answers are incorrect.
Notice that the letter “s” in the word “bus” is not an ending that is added to the word. It is a part of the word itself. The plural form of the word “bus” is “buses”.
No.9
Explanation
The correct answer is B.
A table of contents is a page that appears at the beginning of a book, and contains a list of the book’s chapters, and the page where each chapter starts.
To know which page has instructions for baking cookies, look for the word “cookies” in the table of contents.
Then, look at the number that appears on the right of the word, it tells the page of this chapter.
The number on the right of the word “cookies” is 5, so page 5 has the instructions for baking cookies.
No.10
Explanation
The correct answer is B.
An opinion is a thought or belief about something or someone that cannot be proven.
The sentence “it is a very interesting country” is an opinion- it cannot be proven, and someone else might think the opposite.
A fact is a statement that can be proven as true or false.
The sentences “It is the country with the largest number of people in the world”, “China is a country in East Asia” and “It has 14 neighboring countries” are facts-
They can be proven, and one cannot argue that they are not true.
乍看都是英文，或许会有些懵，其实逻辑和语文都是相通的。想上国际学校找顺义一哥郭老师就行，然而能不能跟得上国际学校的节奏，还是要下一番功夫的。
经过这两天的学习，如果感到MAP Kindergarten的例题还是有些难度的话，以下建议，或许会有所裨益：
1.慢即是快
九层之台，起于垒土；千里之行，始于足下。研究透一题，远胜于模凌两可十道题。不急，是一种打井，深到打出水的坚韧。
2.少即是多
繁杂的信息，要注重信噪比。什么有用，什么最有用？知识与技能的掌握，要害者往往惟有二三点，掌握住即可。在一个知识可以检索的时代，搞题海战术，实在不划算。国际学校真正值得读的地方正是把人从做题的工具中解放出来，能形成自己独到的见解。见解并不必多，真知灼见最为重要。
