题目内容
1.Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be.Places of business that used to keep daytime"business hours"are now open late into the night.And on the Internet,the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant.A half century ago in the United states,most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work,school time and summer time.Today the dividing lines are still there,but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most,it no longer does.It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer,in most,it still does.And whether the work week should strengthen its legal(法律的)limits,or whether it should become more changeable,is often debated(争论).How should we,as a society,organize our time?Should we go even further in relaxing the dividing lines of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask.Part of the difficulty is that we seldom recognize the"law of time"even when we meet it face to face.We know as children that we have to go to school a certain number of hours,a certain number of days,a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer(学监),we may well think that we should go to school because of social custom and parents'requirement rather than to the law.As adults we know"extra pay for overtime working"very well,but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(构成)"overtime"is a matter of legal thing.When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time,have we ever thought to ourselves:"Here is the law in action"?As we shall see,there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time:compulsory education law,overtime law,and daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing,holidays,being late to work,time zones,and so on.Once we begin to look for it,we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.

58.We can learn from the passage that most children go to school because theyD.

解答 56-59:CADA
56题答案:C词义推断理解题,有文中语句"A half century ago in the United states,most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work,school time and summer time.Today the dividing lines are still there,but they seem not clear."半个世纪前,在美国,大多数人在休息日、工作日、上学时间和夏令时之间经历了强烈而精确的分界线.今天的分界仍然存在,但他们似乎不清楚可知应该是不重要,故选择C..
57题答案:A 推理判断题.根据第2段描述,作者提出这样的问题是想说明人们不清楚时间规律,而并非"不能充分利用时间"、"喜欢工作以得到额外报酬"或"欢迎富有弹性的工作时间".故选择A.
58题答案:D 推理判断题.根据第3段…we should go to school due to social custom and parents'demand rather than to the law可知学生们认为上学是迫于社会习惯或家长的要求而不是出于时间规律,应选择D.
59题答案:A 主旨大意题.本文探讨了时间规律的变化以及由此带来的人们生活起居、工作学习的变化.因此选择A"我们的生活有时间规律掌控"符合文章主题.B"怎样安排时间不值得讨论",C"利用时间的新方法改变了我们社会",D"我们的时间日程由社会习惯决定"都不合文章主题或表达不正确.

Japan
High schools have canteens,which serve everything from noodles to rice,but not burgers and chips.Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls,meat or fish,pickles(泡菜) and vegetables.
Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value.Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food.The class with the fewest leftovers(剩饭) at the end of the month receives a prize.
United States
A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken,lettuce and pickles,fruit and cookies.School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances(定量) of protein,vitamin A,vitamin C,iron,calcium and calories.
Australia
Meat pies,sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops.But as the nation pays more attention to children's health,healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.
Many schools have used a traffic light system.The sale of red-labelled foods,including pastries,chocolate and soft drinks,is served only twice a week.Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi,sandwiches,corn and watermelon,however,are available every day.
In some schools,students have a choice of up to 89foods to choose from,including popcorn and rice.
South Africa
Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all.Classes end at 1:30pm and students get their own lunches.Many students bring food from home,usually sandwiches.
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students,which has led to a rise in obesity among children.But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases,some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition(营养).Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables,such as cabbages,onions,beans,carrots and tomatoes.
