Question

Children who drink alcohol with their parents are less likely to become problem boozers (狂饮者)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(狂饮).

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."

Which of the followings is Right according to the passage?

   A. The report says children who drink alcohol with their parents can become boozers in later life easily.

B. Prof Mark Bellis thinks the findings help to prevent binge drink

C. Children learn to binge drink in a proper environment as well as in a bad situation.

D. Prof Mark Bellis thinks that parents should be a good model for children

A．Home Drink Kids don’t Binge

D. The prevention of binge drink

Answer 1

【小题1】D

【小题2】A

【小题3】A

【小题4】C

【小题5】A

解析:

【小题1】判断正误题。由第四段中 “The real issues are around …being set a good example by parents.”可知D

项正确, 符合题意。A、B、C三项分别从第一段，第三段和最后两段中找到错误的依据。

【小题2】主旨大意题。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。所以用研究报告的结论作为标题最为适当。此报告不是对的调查研究，故B项错误。C、D项只是文章内容的一部分。

【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A项为最佳答案。

【小题4】 归纳作者的态度题。最后一段中的 “in the latter position”是指上文提到的“behind the bushes in a park or in a bar”，也就是指不利的环境或公共的场合下，孩子们最容易染上狂饮的习惯。

【小题5】 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。
