Question

Children who drink alcohol with their parents are less likely to binge drink (狂飲)in later life, a recent report claimed yesterday.

The survey of 10,000 teens aged 15 and 16 found 75 per cent have drunk alcohol - but those who do it in moderation(適度地)at home are less likely to go on binges.

On the other hand, the findings contradict a recent call from charity Alcohol Concern for parents. Prof Mark Bellis, of Liverpool John Moores University, told Radio 4's Today programme that this would only make matters worse.

He said: "The key points are around people understanding alcohol, learning about alcohol, being set a good example by parents. Something that criminalises(宣布有罪) the parent is likely to stop these things happening."  

Teenagers who bought their own alcohol outside the home were also more likely to develop problems such as drinking in public places, the report found. It advised parents to keep pocket money below ??10 a week.

Prof Bellis, whose team carried out the survey in schools in the North West, added: "By the age of 14 the majority are drinking.

"The question is, are they learning in a proper environment or learning behind the bushes in a park or in a bar?

"The chances are if they are in the latter position, they are learning to binge drink easily."

Answer 1

【小題1】A

【小題2】C

【小題3】D

【小題4】A

【小題5】A

解析:

【小題1】寫作意圖題。從第一、二段可知,本文介紹了的一份研究報告——在家和父母一起有節(jié)制地飲酒不會引起狂飲癥。這正是作者的寫作意圖。

【小題2】判斷正誤題。文章最后一句“The chances are if they are in the latter position, they are learning to binge drink easily”,中the latter position前指上一段中的learning behind the bushes in a park or in a bar, 故C項表述錯誤, 符合提意。A、B、D三項分別從在第1、3、4段有明確表述。

【小題3】 詞義猜測題。由 “On the other hand（另一方面）”, 和 “…would only make matters worse.”可以推測出contradict的意思為 “與...矛盾;與...抵觸”, 故D項為最佳答案。

【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段 “The key points are around people understanding alcohol, learning about alcohol, being set a good example by parents.”可知答案為A。

【小題5】推理判斷題。由第4、5段Prof Mark Bellis所說的話可以推出父母應(yīng)該對有狂飲問題的孩子負(fù)責(zé)。其他C、D項文中有明確表述；B項文中未提及。
