【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
The US will have a new president this fall. Voters will decide between the Democratic candidate (候選人), Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump of the Republicans.
But the voting is not a must for each person in the US. So quite a lot of people choose not to vote, especially the young generation. According to Fox News, one-in-five young voters between the ages of 18 and 35 said clearly that they wouldn't vote for either of the two candidates. Just 12 percent of voters aged 35-54, and only nine percent of voters aged 55 and older said the same thing.
This is not only because young people don't like Clinton or Trump, according to the Fortune magazine. The truth is that they are traditionally less likely to vote than their parents.
“Young people are not at an age in their life when they think politics or government has anything to do with them,” said Rodd Freitag, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, US. “But for the older age groups, they have a home, they pay taxes (稅), they care about schools and the community.”
Many believe that the civic (公民的) education of an American youth is another reason why they don't vote.
Students usually just do community services like cleaning the neighborhoods. This means they haven't learned how to link real life problems to politics through voting, according to Christopher Beem, a politics professor at the Pennsylvania State University.
He said the country needs to help young people learn how to take part in politics and get them to see that they can make a difference.
（1）What percentage of young voters wouldn't go to vote?
A.9 percent.
B.12 percent.
C.20 percent.
D.55 percent.
（2）According to Rodd Freitag, young people are less likely to vote because ________.
A.they don't like either of the candidates
B.their parents don't like to vote
C.they don't think it is a part of their life
D.they have no work and care little about living problems
（3）Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.US Young Not Voting
B.US Young and Their President
C.Young People's Power
D.Voting for the New US President

【答案】
（1）C
（2）C
（3）A
【解析】本題通過美國總統(tǒng)大選中很多年輕人不參與投票的現(xiàn)象說明了現(xiàn)在的美國年輕人不關(guān)心政治，這引起了專家們的關(guān)注，希望國家?guī)椭贻p人學(xué)習(xí)如何參與政治從而讓他們看到他們在國家管理中能起到作用。

⑴細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段第二句According to Fox News, one-in-five young voters between the ages of 18 and 35 said clearly that they wouldn't vote for either of the two candidates.可知，在18-35歲之間五個中有一個不會投票，也就是20%的年輕人不會去投票，所以答案是C。

⑵細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段第一句Young people are not at an age in their life when they think politics or government has anything to do with them可知，他們不認(rèn)為這是他們生活的一部分。所以答案是C。

⑶主旨大意。本文主要講述現(xiàn)在美國的年輕人不愿參與選舉，不愿投票，A項(xiàng)為最佳標(biāo)題。所以答案是A。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
It is a tall tale（夸張的故事）that terrifies most young children. Swallow a piece of chewing gum and it will remain in your body for seven years before it is digested. An even worse tale is that swallowed（吞） gum can wrap itself around your heart.
But what does happen if you should accidentally eat a stick of gum? Chewing gum is made out of gum base, sweeteners, coloring and flavoring. The gum base is pretty indigestible(難消化的)—it is a mixture of different ingredients (成分) that our body can't absorb.
Most of the time, your stomach really cannot break down the gum the way it would break down other foods. However, your digestive system has another way to deal with things you swallow. After all, we eat lots of things that we are unable to fully digest. They keep moving along until they make it all the way through the gut (腸子) and come out at the other end one or two days later.
The saliva (唾液) in our mouths will make an attempt at digesting chewing gum as soon as we put it in our mouths. It might get through the shell（殼） but many of gum's base ingredients are indigestible. It's then down to our stomach muscles—which contract(收縮) and relax, much like the way an earthworm moves—to slowly force the things that we swallow through our systems.
Swallowing a huge piece of gum or swallowing many small pieces of gum in a short time can cause a blockage within the digestive system, most often in children, who have a thinner digestive tube than adults—but this is extremely rare.
（1）Children might feel terrified after swallowing chewing gum mainly because ________.
A.they believe the tall tales about chewing gum
B.chewing gum will stay in their body for years
C.their heart will be wrapped by chewing gum
D.chewing gum is indigestible for children
（2）What happens to the food that can't be fully broken down?
A.It remains in our digestive system forever.
B.It will be eventually moved out of our body.
C.It will fight against the power of the gut.
D.It will stick to the gut for one or two days.
（3）The word It (in the 4th paragraph) refers to “________”.
A.the attempt
B.the salvia
C.the shell
D.the gum base
（4）What would be the best title for text?
A.How does our digestive system work?
B.Can chewing gum be swallowed by kids?
C.Does swallowing chewing gum matter?
D.Why swallowing chewing gum frightens kids?

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
A private sixth grade is set to start its lessons at 1.30 pm every day because the school's teacher thinks his students will study better after a morning lie-in (懶覺).
Instead of rising early for a 9 am start, students at the ￡15,000-a-year Hampton Court House, in East Molesey, Surrey, will get to enjoy a lie-in and work from 1.30 pm until 7pm. Head teacher Guy Holloway says the move for all sixth grade students, set to begin from September, has been made according to research by scientists. He predicts (預(yù)測) that not only will his students aged 16 and upwards get great night's sleep, but their productivity (效率) will also be improved.
The co-educational school will have the latest start time in the UK, and will be the only one to begin lessons in the afternoon.
Experts say young people are programmed to get up later, and that rather than laziness it is simply a shift (轉(zhuǎn)變) in their body clocks.
There are 168 hours in a week and how productive they are depends on how they choose to use those hours,' said Mr Holloway. 'At Hampton Court House we don't think we have the answer for everybody; it's about what works in our school. We want to get them into a condition where they can get great sleep and study well.' He said students would also benefit from reduced journey times as they travel to and from school after rush hour (上下班高峰時間).
Year 10 student Gabriel Purcell-Davis will be one of the first of 30 A-level students to start at the later time. 'I want to wake up in my bed, not in my maths lesson,' said the 15-year-old. Lessons for all other students at the school will still begin at 9 am as usual.
（1）Why did the school decide to start the class at 1.30 pm?
A.It may be good for students' study.
B.Students wanted a morning lie-in.
C.Students were often late for school.
D.Teachers wanted to have a good sleep in the morning.
（2）What can we learn about the new start time?
A.It's suitable for every student.
B.It was based on scientific research.
C.Students are following the new school time now.
D.Only the sixth grade students will use the new school time.
（3）Experts think young people's getting up later ________.
A.is a bad habit
B.is a natural thing
C.is because of laziness
D.is helpful to their study
（4）In Mr. Holloway's eyes, students can improve their productivity by ________.
A.working harder
B.not wasting time
C.using time wisely
D.learning new study methods
（5）What's Gabriel Purcell-Davis' attitude towards the new school time?
A.Doubtful.
B.Supportive.
C.Worried.
D.Objective.
