5.More student than ever before are taking a gap-year (间隔年)before going to university.It used to be called the"year off"between school and university.The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.
This year,25,310students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year,according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Serbice(UCAS).

But not everyone is happy.Owain James,the president of the National Union of Students(NUS),argued that the increase is evidence of student had ship-young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education."New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to£15,000in debt.It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40%  of students  are  forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,"he said.

30.A    细节理解题.由第三段中的"Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with,and complete,their chosen course.Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible"可知,经过"间隔年"(打工赚钱)后,再去上大学,这样的学生更加成熟,更加有责任感.他们更容易满足他们所选择的课程,更有可能完成课程.即可以使大学生更好地为大学学习做好准备.故选A.
31.B    推理判断题.由最后一段中的"But not everyone is happy"以及Owain James"the increase is evidence of student had ship-young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education"可知,Owain James认为很多学生被迫先挣钱再上学,同时也反映出这些学生的辛苦.因此可知,他对于间隔年表示担忧.故选B.

点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.

14.It's 8:00 a.m.James Butters gives,18-month-old Thomas his milk,then breakfast.After getting Thomas into his outdoor clothes,they head for the park to watch birds and play on the grass.With lunchtime drawing near,they're back home for an afternoon of drawing,playing with cars,or maybe watching some children's programs.
    James isn't Thomas'dad.He is a nanny(保姆)-a man nanny obviously,humorously  termed a"manny"-specially trained and in his third nannying position.At 27,he cares for  Thomas,and another boy of a simliar age."It's much freer than an office job,"he says,"and you're getting to see children develop and grow.You become very close to them,for  sure.I don't think I'm special or better than a woman nanny; everyone has their own ap-proach.But I'm unusual.Friends laughed when I started studying nursery nursing.In my  class,I was the only man among 70 women.Somehow,I made it,"he said.
    Although it's not yet common to find men in traditional nannying courses,things are  changing.In the United States,parents are employing young mannies,sometimes to care  for babies,but more often as active role models to get their children away from the TV and  the computer.From rollerblading(轮滑)friends to summer swimming mannies,these are the big brothers who are always willing to play,largely because they're paid for it.It is  catching on here in Britain,too.Earlier this year,Norland Nanny College welcomed its  first full-time man student,19-year-old Peter Cummins in Wales.While some families find   it difficult to accept the idea of a young man in a traditional nannying role,man nannies are  increasingly popular.
