Question

The legal age for drinking alcohol in the United States is twenty-one. Underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life. This week in our Foreign Student Series, we look at alcohol rules at American colleges and universities. These rules differ from school to school, as do measures. But many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules.

 The United States has more than 17000,000 students in higher education. Each year, 1700 of them die from alcohol-related road crashes and other injuries. 600,000 more are injured while under the influence of alcohol. And almost 700,000 are attacked by another drunken.

 One behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is too much drinking. Some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking is normal often think extremely how much other students really drink. A person can die of alcohol poisoning. At Oklahoma University, a nineteen-year-old student died from drinking heavily at a party in 2005

Now alcohol is banned from all sorority houses and university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights. Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online.

 The rules govern behavior on campus (校园) and off. With a first violation(违犯), students pay seventy-five dollars and their parents are told. They must also take an alcohol education class. For a second "strike," they have to pay one hundred fifty dollars. A third strike means that they have to be suspended school forwww..com at least one semester.

Since 2005, 363 students have had a first strike. 30 have had a second strike -- and only one hasn’t allowed to go to school for one semester. The president at Oklahoma tells us the aim is not just to punish but to change behavior and the culture at the university.

If a student has a third strike, he/she should________.

A. have to stop going to school for a time    B .be removed to another school

C. be locked at home for a period          D. be forced to leave school forever

Which of the following statements is supported by the passage ?

B. If students take an alcohol program online, they can drink alcohol .

C. Students having a first strike only receive punishment of fine

D. Students with a second strike pay twice as much as students with a first strike

B. drinking alcohol remains a serious problem

C. alcohol rules aim to change behavior and the culture at the university.

D. the number of students drinking alcohol is dropping in one way.

Answer 1

【小题1】D

【小题2】C

【小题3】A

【小题4】D

【小题5】D

解析:

【小题1】归纳大意题。由第三、四、五句可知本段主要介绍了美国大学都有自己的处理低于21岁学生饮酒的制度。故答案为D项。

【小题2】细节归纳题。由第二段可知，每年因为酒精死亡和受伤的人数为: 1700+600,000=601,700。故答案为C。注意：700,000是遭到喝醉酒学生袭击的学生人数，不是题干所要求的。

【小题3】细节理解题。由第五段中 “A third strike means that they have to be suspended school for at least one semester.”和最后一段 “Thirty have had a second strike -- and only one hasn’t allowed to go to school for one semester.”可知违犯三次的学生被迫停课至少一学期。故A项为正确答案。

【小题4】细节判断题。由第五段 “With a first violation(违犯), students pay seventy-five dollars and their parents are told.” “ For a second "strike, they have to pay one hundred fifty dollars.”可知D项与此吻合。A项与第四段第二句不相符；C项与第五段第二句不相符（还包括通知家长）；参加网上酒知识课程不是允许喝酒的必要条件，B项与文章信息不符。

【小题5】推理判断题。由最后一段列举的数字可以推出，这些制度影响改变着大学生的行为，违犯制度的学生人数是下降的，故D项正确。A、B显然不对；C项文中有明确表述，无需推论。
