(单选题)
What is the passage mainly about? ( )
A.How the IB program is viewed by the public.
B.How the IB program operates in high schools.
C.Why the IB program is introduced from Europe.
D.Why the IB program is popular around the world.
参考答案:D
参考解析:
从原文首段High school students in the U.S increasingly have a new option to challenge themselves: the International Baccalaureate, or IB.尾段Colleen Duffy, the marketing manager for the International Baccalaureate Organization, said what many people do not understand about IB is that it is not a study abroad program-students do not travel to a different country to study.可知美国的高中生越来越多地有了一个挑战自己的新选择:国际学士学位,或称IB。国际文凭组织(International Baccalaureate Organization)的市场经理奥利恩•达菲(Colleen Duffy)表示,许多人对IB不了解的是,IB不是一个留学项目,学生们不会去另一个国家留学。首段在描写IB的大致介绍,尾段在描写IB课程的实质的介绍,所以原文主要是描写和介绍IB在全球受欢迎的原因。选项A:公众对IB项目的看法;选项B:IB项目如何在高中运作;选项C:为什么IB项目是从欧洲引进的;选项D:为什么IB项目在世界各地流行。ABC三项都是片面的,不足以概括全文。故本题正确答案选D。
