参考解析

解析:本句意为“研究表明在英国超过一半以上的儿童将午餐带到学校去吃而不是在中午饭点正常吃”。此处需要有“正当地,得体地”意思的副词。A项appropriately“适当地;相称地”,B项properly“正当地,得体地”,C项probably“大概,或许,可能”,D项possibly “可能地;也许;大概”。所以应该在A和B之间选择,A项倾向“得体”。故选B。
根据四个选项的意思,可以看出这句有“提供”的意思,所以答案为B。
本句意为“孩子们可以选择带餐过去或者在食堂就餐”。A项prefer“更喜欢”。B项manage“管理,经营”,C项 want“需要”,D项choose“选择”。根据句意可判断选D。
本句意为“一项令人震惊的发现显示……”B项number“号码;数字”,C项figure“数字,人物”,D项factor“因素;要素”。只有A项finding“发现”,符合句意。故选A。
本句意为“学校午餐有着严格的准备标准”。B项procedure“进程步骤”;C项condition“条件”;D项way“方式,方法”;只有A项standard“标准”,符合句意。故选A。
考查量词。A,C,D项把量具体化了,然而本题中并没有明确指出每天应该摄入多少水果,所以只是“比例”的意思,故选B。
本句意为“然而研究人员检查学生自带的饭盒发现其中含有甜饮料、薯条和巧克力棒。”D项investigated意为“研究;调查”;A项examine“检查,调查”更符合句意。故选择A。
本句意为“学生摄取的糖分是他们应当在午餐中摄取的2倍。”A项take“拿,获得”;B项contain“包含,控制”;D项consist“组成,在于,符合”。只有C项consume有摄取之意,符合句意。故选C。
本句的意思为“这项调查研究对为什么在过去的十年中英国学生的超重人数上升提供了一个更好的解释。“A项view“观察;意见”;B项knowledge“知识;学问”;C项understanding“谅解;理解”,D项opinion“意见,主张”。只有C项符合句意,故选C。
本句意为“这项调查研究对为什么在过去的十年中英国学生的超重人数上升提供了一个更好的解释。”B项expanded“扩大(面积,体积的扩大)”;C项extended为“扩张(延展性)”;D项added“增加,加上”;只有A项increased“增长”,符合句意。故选A。
此处的句意为“政府不能批评家长”。B项instruct“指导,通知,命令”;C 项order“命令,整理”;D项tell“告诉,辫别”;而A项criticise意为“批评”,与句意相符。故选A。
此处句意为“……但却可以提醒他们牛奶,水果和蔬菜的营养价值。”B项healthy“健康的,健全的”;C项positive“积极的”;D项good“好的,优良的”。从句子的意思上看这里有“营养的”意思;而A项nutritional意为“营养的,滋润的”,与句意相符。故选A。
此句意为“孩子们饮食上小小的改变可能会影响他们未来的健康。”A项damage“损害,毁坏”;B项predict“预测”;C项destroy“破坏,消灭,毁坏”;只有D项affect 意为“影响”,与句意相符。故选D。

A new scheme for getting children to and from school is being started by the education authorities in part of Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.Until now the Country Council has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, provided the arrangement will not lose money and that children taking part will be attending their nearest school.The new scheme is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council has said in the past it will not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster.Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part in. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a council official has said the cost of parents should be less than $6.50 a tenn.They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make an extra journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new scheme.Taking part in the Council's trial schemes are children who__________.A.living in Milton and go to Impington schoolB.living in Impington and go to Milton schoolC.living in Milton and go to Milton schoolD.living in Impington and go to Impington school

共用题干第一篇About eight million school-age children are home alone after school.These are the hours when the number of violent crimes peaks and when youths are most likely to experiment with alcohol,tobacco,and drugs.Many older children take care of themselves after school for an hour or two until a parent comes home,and research suggests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors.Studies have been done to find out what helps to reduce these kinds of risky behaviors among youths.One study of Chicago neighborhoods showed that after-school programs resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods.After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence because they offer activities to children and youths during their out-of-school time.In addition to helping youths make use of after-school hours,after-school programs provide teens with opportunities to develop caring relationships with adults.Studies have found that high-quality relationships with parents and other adults,as well as good use of time,are very important for healthy development in youth.After-school programs can also be used for teens who hang out at friends' houses and play basketball when a parent or other responsible adult is at home.The programs can also be helpful for formal after-school activities,including"drop-in"programs that are provided by organizations. Despite the benefits of after-school programs,there are many reasons why some parents do not use them. Programs may be too expensive,of poor quality,or hard to join.Some older cililciren and young teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care.F'arents may ieei uncertain about how much freedom is proper for children and youths who are beyond the traditional child care years.However,research supports the effectiveness of these programs in protecting middle school and high school youths from risk and harm.Which of the following is a benefit of after-school programs?A:They help to avoid crime and violence during that time.B:They help youths do things on their own during after-school hours.C:They help teens develop caring relationships with classmates.D:They help to reduce risky behaviors among youths.

共用题干About eight million school-age children are home alone after school.These are the hours when the number of violent crimes peaks and when youths are most likely to experiment with alco- hol,tobacco,and drugs. Many older children take care of themselves after school for an hour or two until a parent comes home,and research suggests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors.Studies have been done to find out what helps to reduce these kinds of risky behaviors among youths .One study of Chicago neighborhoods showed that after-school programs resulted in less vio- lence even in poor neighborhoods.After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence because they offer activities to children and youths during their out-of-school time.In addition to helping youths make use of af-ter-school hours,after-school programs provide teens with opportunities to develop caring relation-ships with adults.Studies have found that high-quality relationships with parents and other adults, as well as good use of time,are very important for healthy development in youth.After-school programs can also be used for teens who hang out at friends' houses and play basketball when a parent or other responsible adult is at home.The programs can also be helpful for formal after-school activities,including"drop-in"programs that are provided by organizations.Despite the benefits of after-school programs,there are many reasons why some parents do not use them. Programs may be too expensive,of poor quality,or hard to join.Some older children and young teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care.Parents may feel uncertain about how much freedom is proper for children and youths who are beyond the tradition-al child care years.However,research supports the effectiveness of these programs in protecting middle school and high school youths from risk and harm. Which of the following is a benefit of after-school programs?A: They help to avoid crime and violence during that time.B: They help youths do things on their own during after-school hours.C: They help teens develop caring relationships with classmates.D: They help to reduce risky behaviors among youths.

问答题Practice 2  Private school does not mean better. But it does mean expensive. Public schools in the US are paid for by money from everyone; private schools are not. Parents who send their children to private schools must pay to do so.  Parents may have enough money to pay for private schools. But these schools do not have to accept their children. Most private schools accept only children who are already doing well in school and are able to work quietly, Some take only boys or only girls. Classes are often quieter and less crowded than classes in public schools. This gives children a chance to learn more of what their teachers are trying to teach them.  Public schools do not teach religion. So some parents choose private religious schools for their children. These schools each belong to a church. 6 They give lessons about that religion. They give lessons in all the usual school subjects as well.  Children at many private schools wear special school uniforms, all exactly the same. At public schools, students wear what they want. They often dress in bright colors and tennis shoes. They sometimes invent new and wonderful fashions.

问答题Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  High Dropout Rate in US  Many young people in the United States never finish high school. Exactly how many dropouts is another issue. Recent studies of dropout rates have had conflicting results. For one thing, schools define and measure their dropout rates differently.  Some researchers say about fifteen to twenty parents of public school students do not complete their education. But many other experts and policymakers believe that for the past twenty years, the dropout rate has been around thirty percent. For Latino and black students, the numbers are even higher. Researchers say almost half of them leave school.  At the same time, almost half the states let students leave school before the age of eighteen without informing their parents.  Finding a good job without a high school education is more and more difficult. A Northeastern University study in 2002 found that almost half of all dropouts aged sixteen to twenty-four did not have a job.  The lack of high school education can also lead to other problems. An estimated two-thirds of prisoners in the United States dropped out of high school.  Recent studies have shown that the majority of students who drop out do not do it because they are failing. Many are bored with their classes or feel disconnected from their school and teachers. Some students feel that educators place low expectations on them. Teen pregnancies also add to the dropout problem.  During the past twenty years, there have been efforts to increase graduation rate through education reforms. Some communities are working on dropout prevention programs. These include alternative high schools to meet special needs.  Some programs, for example, provide free transportation and childcare to help young mothers and fathers finish school. Yet special programs can cost a lot, and many school systems have limited budgets.  Federal spending on second-chance programs to help students finish school has decreased from the 1970s. This was shown in a report last year from the Educational Testing Service.  Experts suggest early warning systems to help identify young schoolchildren at risk of dropping out of high school. They say schools also need to get parents more involved, especially if their children are missing school often.  Questions:  1.What is the researchers’ estimated percentage of school dropouts among Latino and black students?  2.What efforts have been made to increase graduation rates?  3.What has been done to help young parents complete their education?  4.Who made a report about the decrease,of Federal spending on second-chance programs to help students finish school?  5.What do experts suggest setting up to help prevent students from dropping out of school?

问答题Public Schools  However good the state schools may be, it is still true that if an English parent has enough money to pay the fees to send his children to an independent school he will most probably do so.  In independent schools boys and girls above the age of eight are usually educated separately. The terms “primary” and “secondary” are not usually applied to independent schools at the different levels because the age of transfer from a lower to a higher school is normally thirteen or fourteen instead of eleven. The principal schools for boys of over thirteen are called “public schools” and those for younger boys are usually called “preparatory” (or colloquially “prep”) schools.  For girls there are some preparatory schools and public schools which are female imitations of the boys’ institutions.  A typical “preparatory school’“—or private primary school—is very small, with between fifty and a hundred boys, either all boarders or all dayboys, or some of each. Many of these schools are in adapted houses in the country or in small towns, houses built in the nineteenth century and too big to be inhabited by families in the conditions of the modern world. If there are fifty boys, aged between eight-plus and thirteen-plus, they will probably be taught in five or six grades (or “forms”); the headmaster will himself work as an ordinary teacher, and he will have four or five assistants working for him. The preparatory schools prepare boys for the public schools’ common entrance examination and for public school life. The, schools in the state system do not prepare boys for the public schools’ common entrance examination, so a boy who tried to change from the states system to the independent school system at the age of thirteen would find difficulty in entering a public school at all.  With a few exceptions public schools are all boarding schools, providing residential accommodation for their pupils, though many of them take some day-boys also. Most are in the southern half of England. Some of them are several hundred years old, but many others, including some of the most prominent thirty, were founded during the past 140 years. Most public schools, particularly the most eminent ones, are called by the name of the town or village in which they are situated; some are called “College” and some are not. The four most famous of all are Eton College, Harrow School, Winchester College and Rugby School.  Public schools are inspected by the inspectors of the Department of Education, but otherwise they are quite independent. Each has a board of governors. They control the finances and appoint the headmaster, who in his turn appoints the other teachers. To send a boy to .a leading public school costs about 900 to 1,100 pounds a year, though some of the less prominent schools may cost as little as 600 pounds. All the schools award “scholarships” to some of their boys who do very good work in an examination on entering or during their first year, and the boys who win scholarships pay reduced fees or in a few cases no fees at all.
