restaurant with six to 10 menu options, she said. It offers so much choice to kids. The service appeals to parents because they think their children are less likely to toss out restaurant food than a packed lunch, Ms. Moses said. The schools appreciate that Moses handles the ordering, payment, pickup, and food distribution in the cafeteria. Schools really want to be in the business of educating kids, she said. They don39。t want to be in the food and beverage(餐飲) business. That doesn39。t mean that schools always like it when teens (or parents) take it upon themselves to order food through phone apps. Many schools have banned that practice, citing safety concerns about delivery drivers showing up at school unannounced and the burden of tracking down students to alarm them that their meals have arrived. These types of deliveries pose an unnecessary security risk for students and staff, said Bernard Watson, director of munity relations for Gwinnett County Public Schools in Suwanee, Ga. In addition, our awardwinning school nutrition program provides students with a wide variety of tasty, nutritious meals onsite, so there is no need to order food from outside. Jacob Levin, a recent graduate of Bexley High School in Bexley, Ohio, relied on a sub shop to deliver a sandwich to him during lunchtime meetings or other appointments that conflicted with his lunch period. It was a convenient option. In most cases, I would not have been able to eat at school if it weren39。t for the delivery option, he said. Having a restaurantquality sub also was much more enjoyable than cafeteria food.(1)What can we learn about Kiddos Catering?

(1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的Parents select the lunches from an online order form that lists the day39。s featured restaurant and its menu choices可知,Kiddos Catering提供的午餐需要在網(wǎng)上預(yù)訂。故選A。 (2)考查段落大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“ The service appeals to parents because they think their children are less likely to toss out restaurant food than a packed lunch, Ms. Moses said. The schools appreciate that Moses handles the ordering, payment, pickup, and food distribution in the cafeteria. ”可知本段從父母以及學(xué)校兩個角度介紹了遞送的學(xué)校午餐的好處。故選C。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的These types of deliveries pose an unnecessary security risk for students and staff 可知,Bernard Watson擔憂的是,食物的遞送可能會給學(xué)生帶來潛在的危險。故選B。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的It was a convenient option. In most cases, I would not have been able to eat at school if it weren39。t for the delivery option,可推斷出,Jacob Levin對此的態(tài)度是支持的。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,推理判斷和段落大意三個題型的考查,是一篇社會現(xiàn)象類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。6.閱讀理解 You know, the soft subjects, says the boy in maths. The easy ones: the stupid girls at the bottom take them. Like dance. It shouldn39。t even be a subject. We39。re choosing subjects for our Alevel taster day at school. I see the raised eyebrows (眉毛) when I explain two of my GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) choices are dance and drama(戲劇). I was told by advisers that dance and drama wouldn39。t help me to get a suitable career. My friends told me I39。d get bored of dance and switch to science within the first month. But taking GCSE dance was the best decision I ever made. Dance gives me something to pour my head and heart into. It gives me a feeling of belonging, creativity, security and freedom. The education secretary Nicky Morgan has put emphasis on (強調(diào)) science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), saying that students who focus on the arts risk their careers. Stopping young people from expressing themselves at such a young age is not doing them any favours. Perhaps Nicky Morgan has forgotten to open the door of having a drive to study that subject day in, day out. It shouldn39。t matter what that subject is. I don39。t doubt the influence that STEM subjects can have on the people that love them. But to force children into one field is cruel. As much as I try, I39。m not good at and don39。t love physics, biology or maths. I don39。t want a career in these areas. There has been a decrease in the number of state schools offering arts subjects taught by specialist teachers. I can39。t even imagine how it feels to be told that you don39。t teach a real subject by an 8yearold boy. To the teachers, the parents, the government I say: Let children make their own decisions. Let them live in the present. Let them have a real, unlimited education.(1)How does the boy in maths feel about dance? A.Useless.B.Difficult.C.Beautiful.D.Important.(2)After the author took GCSE dance, she ________ A.lost interest in itB.kept her mind on itC.turned to other subjects16
