Question

【题目】 High school students in England do much the same as those in America or any other country do. They enjoy using the Internet, telephoning their friends, going travelling, listening to music, watching movies on TV or at the cinema.

However, a new study shows that 15-year-olds in England have more fights than those in Canada, Australia and China. This has to do with how they spend their free time. In England, for example, 45% of 15-year-olds spend most evenings out with their friends. And in Canada, the number is 24%. In China, just 17% of 15-year-olds spend their free time in the same way. And in Australia, 15% of 15-year-olds spend their evenings out with their friends.

Another new study shows that the Internet is English students' favorite hobby. They spend about 31 hours a week online. One in four students of the 1,000 polled (接受民意测试的）said they often spoke to those they didn't know online and one in three said they tried to hide(藏）what they were looking at if a parent went into the room. But the study also shows that children also use Internet to help them with their homework. They spend at least three hours a week finding information.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国中学生在业余时间里喜欢做的事，如爱上网，爱打架，晚上喜欢跟朋友在外面玩等等。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段“High school students…or any other country do.”可知，英国学生跟其他国家的学生一样。故选D。

【2】推理判断题。根据上文“a new study …have more fights …”可知，英国15岁的中学生打架次数远高于其它几个国家，打架成为了学生们的业余消遣。故选A。

【3】细节理解题。根据文章中“45% of 15-year-olds …”可知，将近一半的英国中学生晚上跟朋友在外面玩。故选B。

【4】细节理解题。根据上文“One in four students of the 1,000 polled…”可知，1,000个学生里，每四个学生里就有一个在网上跟陌生人聊天，那么在一千人中在网上和陌生人聊天的大概就是二百五十人。故选B。

【5】主旨大意题。根据文章第二段和第三段可知，此文主要讲述英国中学生和其它国家的学生一样，在业余时间里喜欢上网、给朋友打电话；跟加拿大、澳大利亚和中国比，英国学生更多地参与打架，上网是他们最喜欢的爱好。故选C。

对于猜测主旨大意的阅读题，解题关键点往往在首尾段以及每段中心句，考生们可以从中入手，总结出文章具体大意。例如小题5，解这题时先看文章，第一段主要讲述英国学生业余时间做的事跟美国以及其它国家差不多；第二段通过列数字的方法讲述英国学生跟其它国家相比，打架以及晚上和朋友在外面玩的比例比较大；第三段主要讲述上网是英国学生最喜欢的爱好。综上，本文就是在比较英国学生的业余活动和其他国家的学生的业余活动的异同。
