2.A MENTORING (導(dǎo)師制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11to 21.
Alex Goldberg,the program's founder,said;"We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.
"We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth.For example,we've secured internships (實(shí)習(xí)) with world-famous firms such as Honda.
"At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring,it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures."Kieran Hepburn,14,is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (論壇).
The event was held for young people from around the world,to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look.Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event.Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience."Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop,it was amazing,"he said,"We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon."
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues (問題) such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.
Kieran said:"It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August."
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit www.younginspirations.com.

分析 本篇為說明文.主要介紹了一種新推行的導(dǎo)師體系,兩年前建立了一個青年激勵項目,主要的目的是指導(dǎo)學(xué)生適應(yīng)社會的變化,其中的論壇可以讓年輕人在日益變化的社會變革中發(fā)揮積極的作用,很多學(xué)生在活動中取得了很大進(jìn)步.所以這個項目既能幫助年輕人提高學(xué)業(yè)水平,又給他們提供了改變命運(yùn),開創(chuàng)美好未來的機(jī)會.
解答 71.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段的"We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook."可知,這個青年激勵計劃是為了給年輕人提供一些獨(dú)特的經(jīng)驗.故選C.
72.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第五段的第一句話"At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring,"可知,在削減資金的時候,學(xué)校不能給學(xué)生這方面的指導(dǎo),所以學(xué)校難以提供這種指導(dǎo)是因為缺錢.故選D.
73.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段的"The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life."可知,這個論壇的主要目的是如何讓年輕人在社會變革中發(fā)揮積極的作用.故選D.
74.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的句子"Kieran said:"It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August."可知,Kieran在自信,社交能力和學(xué)習(xí)方面都取得很大的進(jìn)步,是進(jìn)步最大的學(xué)生.故選B
75.B 主旨大意題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容尤其是第一段的"A MENTORING (導(dǎo)師制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth."可知,文章主要介紹導(dǎo)師制這一新體系給年輕人的未來生活提供了許多經(jīng)驗和機(jī)會,所以這個導(dǎo)師制的計劃是為了讓年輕人發(fā)現(xiàn)充滿機(jī)遇的世界.故選B.
點(diǎn)評 本文是政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類閱讀,考查學(xué)生對細(xì)節(jié)的理解把握和推理判斷能力,做題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
