Question

Children who drink alcohol with their parents are less likely to binge drink (狂饮)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(适度地)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

【小题1】A

【小题2】C

【小题3】D

【小题4】A

【小题5】A

解析:

【小题1】写作意图题。从第一、二段可知,本文介绍了的一份研究报告——在家和父母一起有节制地饮酒不会引起狂饮症。这正是作者的写作意图。

【小题2】判断正误题。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项表述错误, 符合提意。A、B、D三项分别从在第1、3、4段有明确表述。

【小题3】 词义猜测题。由 “On the other hand（另一方面）”, 和 “…would only make matters worse.”可以推测出contradict的意思为 “与...矛盾;与...抵触”, 故D项为最佳答案。

【小题4】细节理解题。由第四段 “The key points are around people understanding alcohol, learning about alcohol, being set a good example by parents.”可知答案为A。

【小题5】推理判断题。由第4、5段Prof Mark Bellis所说的话可以推出父母应该对有狂饮问题的孩子负责。其他C、D项文中有明确表述；B项文中未提及。
