根据所给材料，选择最佳选项。
In 2019，a white - haired senior was awarded the Friendship Medal，the highest order of honor of China for foreigners. It was Isabel Crook. In her over a century of life，she spent more than 90 years in China and educated a large number of foreign language students for China.
In 1915，Isabel was born to a Canadian family in Chengdu，Sichuan Province. After graduating from the University of Toronto in 1938，Isabel couldn’t wait to return to China. In 1947，she started to study the ongoing land reform(改革). A year later，she finished the study and accepted the invitation to stay in China for language teaching. From then on，Isabel started the journey of education in China.
One could hardly imagine the teaching conditions during a war. Isabel tried every way for mobile teaching. She asked her students to take small chairs so that she could give classes all over the places. She made different teaching methods to suit students’ different language levels. Without enough teaching materials，she could only collect articles from English newspapers and magazines. In spoken English teaching，Isabel asked students to watch her in a given conversation first. Since there were no tape recorders at school，she had to perform the conversation again and again.
Isabel retired in 1981，but she returned to Southwest China many times to help children from poor families. She also went to Inner Mongolia，Ningxia and other places to help with foreign language teaching. Isabel died in 2023 in Beijing.

答案： 1.D 【解析】细节信息题。根据第二段第三、四句“In 1947, she started to study the ongoing land reform(改革). A year later, she finished the study and accepted the invitation to stay in China for language teaching.”可知,1947年,她开始调研正在进行的土地改革。一年后,她完成了此次调研,并接受了留在中国进行语言教学的邀请。由此可知,Isabel于1948年开始在中国进行语言教学。
2.A 【解析】细节信息题。根据第三段第三句“She asked her students to take small chairs so that she could give classes all over the places.”可知,她让学生们(随身)携带小椅子,这样她就能在不同的地方授课了。由此可知,Isabel让学生带着小椅子是为了能在各个地方授课。
3.C 【解析】细节信息题。根据第三段最后两句“In spoken English teaching, Isabel asked students to watch her in a given conversation first. Since there were no tape recorders at school, she had to perform the conversation again and again.”可知,在英语口语教学中,Isabel先让学生们观察她在一段特定情境下的对话演示。因为学校没有录音机,她不得不一遍又一遍地亲自演示对话。由此可知,Isabel的英语口语课的特别之处在于她给学生演示对话。
4.B 【解析】最佳描述题。根据第三段第一、二句“One could hardly imagine the teaching conditions during a war. Isabel tried every way for mobile teaching.”可知,人们很难想象战争时期的教学条件,Isabel想尽一切办法灵活机动地开展教学。根据第四段第一句“Isabel retired in 1981, but she returned to Southwest China many times to help children from poor families.”可知,1981年,Isabel退休了,但她多次回到中国西南地区,为贫困家庭的孩子们提供帮助。由此可知,Isabel不仅工作努力,而且关心他人。
