3.In Western society,especially in the English-speaking world,the chance for young people to see the other countries and experience life is considered important.Many young people,when they finish school at the age of 18,take a gap year before they go to university.Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school.Although they are worried about their safety,many think that the advantages of independence and experience are worth the worries.Children are encouraged to be brave,independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends.
Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side.This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life.For example,if they have a rich life,they may want to see how people in poor areas live.
A gap year after school is also an important chance for young people to spend time thinking about what they want to do with their lives.A little bit of growing up and experience will help them make their important career decisions,especially when they are unsure about what they want to study.
Another reason for going straight after school is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university.So anywhere you travel in the world,you will meet young European people exploring the world.
So much of the world has been travelled and explored.The young people are now looking for more worthy experiences.Some of them work as volunteers to do something for the country they are visiting.Many gap year volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand,helping feed giant pandas in China or building a well(井) in a village in Africa.
These young people's wish to explore the world is an expression of the values of the societies that they are part of.Both discovering the world and making a positive difference in it are important parts of the Western mind.

分析 本文主要从各个方面介绍空档年的情况,内容主要围绕参与空档年的原因,活动以及意义展开.
解答 50:D判断正误题.A项,结合第五段第一句 Another reason for going straight after school is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university 可知,完成学业后继续向前的另一个原因,则是在开启接下来几年的大学生活之前从学习中得到休整.所以A项表述正确.B项,结合第四段第一句 A gap year after school is also an important chance for young people to spend time thinking about what they want to do with their lives 可知,完成学业后的间隔年对于年轻人来说是十分重要的机会,他们可以花时间来想一想他们生活中想做些什么.所以B项表述正确.C项,结合第二段最后一句 Children are encouraged to be brave,independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends 可知,孩子们被鼓励变得更勇敢,更独立,独自或是与朋友一起去探索这个世界.所以C项表述正确.D项,与C项表述自相矛盾.所以D项表述错误.题干要求选择错误的(NOT)选项,D项符合题意.故正确答案为D.
51:B推断题.根据倒数第二段最后一句 Many gap year volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand,helping feed giant pandas in China or building a well in a village in Africa 可知,间隔年志愿者们会去泰国教英语、会去中国帮助喂养大熊猫也会去非洲的乡村里挖井.由此可推测知,他们也会去巴西帮助保护热带雨林.故B项符合题意.A项意为"体验不同文化",C项意为"交更多朋友",D项意为"享受传统当地美食",均不符合题意.故正确答案为B.
52:C细节题.根据本文最后一句 Both discovering the world and making a positive difference in it are important parts of the Western mind 可知,通过一个空档期,志愿者可以帮助世界变得更好.C项符合题意.A项意为"总是与父母呆在一起"53:B主旨题.本文主要从各个方面介绍空档年的情况,内容主要围绕参与空档年的原因,活动以及意义展开.B项意为"为读者提供关于空档年的信息",符合题意.A项,意为"介绍关于空档年的不同观点",并未提到观点间的不同.故A项错误.C项,意为"探索开展空档年的新方式",文中并未提及.故C项错误.D项,意为"告诉年轻人什么时候要开始空档年",过于片面,无法概括整篇文章.故D项错误.故正确答案为B.
