Question

【题目】There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.

What to do

In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.

Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.

What to eat

In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：在英国有超过800寄宿学校，其中有国内的孩子也有国外的孩子。寄宿制学校几百年前开始在该国。但最早的寄宿学校只为白人和有钱的男孩设置。现在从7岁到18岁男孩和女孩都可以去上寄宿学校。寄宿制学校在一个学年有三个学期，每学期13周。所有在寄宿学校的学生穿校服。男孩平时穿一件衬衫和一条领带，女孩穿一件白色的衬衫，有时还打领带，裙子。在英国，寄宿学校为学生提供美味的食物。

【1】根据第二段中In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term.可知在英国，寄宿学校一学年有三个学期，每学期约13周，所以寄宿学校的学生每年要在学校呆39周，因此作答39 weeks. (About 273 days)。

【2】根据后面的including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres.可推知facilities的意思是“设施。”

【3】短文第三段Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict. 主要描述了学生的穿戴，所以作答What to wear。

【4】also也；at any time 在任何时候；in a kitchen在厨房；or或者；drink tea喝茶； have a snack吃零食；between meals在两餐之间。

【5】该短文主要介绍了英国寄宿制学校的生活，所以作答The life in boarding schools in the UK.。
