答案及解析：

這是一篇說明文。本文介紹英國Bingham地區(qū)學院針對外國留學生開設(shè)的目標培訓班，介紹該培訓班的學習內(nèi)容等相關(guān)信息。

1．A.推理判斷題。從第二段的內(nèi)容可以知道，這個課程能讓學員了解學校的相關(guān)情況，比如校園生活、學校設(shè)施與服務，有機會接觸、了解職工和學生。

2．C.推理判斷題。從第三段第一節(jié)內(nèi)容看，對于不是來自歐盟的留學生來說，他們不熟悉歐洲文化與風俗，因此這門課給他們提供了機會。

3．D.細節(jié)考查題。第一段中，從It takes place in the week before term starts, from 24th—28th September, but you should plan to arrive in Bingham on the 22nd or 23rd September.可知道，課程是安排在開學之前的9月24—28日，至少應該在9月23日前到達學校，即開學(9月29日)前6天。

4．B.推理判斷題。從文章內(nèi)容看，全文圍繞目的在于讓學生了解大學的學習生活以及文化背景而開設(shè)的目標課程進行敘述，與學生的兼職工作沒有關(guān)系。
