Question

7．School Counseling（咨詢）
　　In our grandparents'time，it was unthinkable．In our parents'time，it was unusual and nobody spoke openly about counseling．These days，more and more schools are asking for this service and it is considered a necessity for most．Why is it？What has changed in the last fifty years to have made counseling at schools so important？
"One reason is that we expect schools to do more to protect their pupils than we did in the past，"says school counselor，Mike Hudson．"Also，our society doesn't work as well as it should．Many parents are either under pressure of work or face the economic problems of unemployment，while children are under more and more pressure to do well at school．Many pupils feel they are pushed to their limits by their parents and teachers．"
　　Most school children face some kind of relationship problem at some stage with family members，teachers or other pupils，so．it helps to have somebody to talk to．
　　From the pupil's point of view，it is easier to talk to a counselor in confidence rather than a family member or teacher．This solution is less embarrassing to pupils，who are not forced to face the person that they had problems with in the first place．They can calmly talk things through without arguments．
　　School counselors advise not only students but also their teachers and parents，and offer other services as well，such as deciding learning disabilities or assisting parents and guardians to make the correct decisions about their children's education．
　　Counselors can help students with problems ranging from the most serious，like a death in the family，to what an adult would consider really trivial，like an argument with a friend．
　　In a society that is becoming more and more stressful，this service is providing children with a supportive way to express their fear and worries．

Answer 1

分析 本篇文章講到在現(xiàn)代社會中，學校里面普遍增加了咨詢崗位，說明了咨詢的重要性--學生與家人的交流不暢，尋求學校咨詢的幫助更能解決問題．

解答 1．C 細節(jié)理解 根據(jù)第二段家長面臨更多來自于工作和經(jīng)濟的壓力，孩子面對更多來自于學校的壓力（"Many parents are either under pressure of work or face the economic problems of unemployment，while children are under more and more pressure to do well at school．"）．校園咨詢變得更重要的原因是家長和孩子們壓力過多（"Parents and pupils are under too much pressure．"）．
2．D 細節(jié)理解根據(jù)第四段學生跟校園咨詢師談話更自信，更不容易尷尬（"it is easier to talk to a counselor in confidence…This solution is less embarrassing to pupils…"）．因此校園咨詢師更容易在學生遇到難事的時候被學生接受（"are more likely to be accepted when pupils have problems"）．
3．A  詞義猜測根據(jù)第六段咨詢師可以為學生解決多種類型的問題，從親人離去到…如和朋友吵架．因此trivial（瑣碎的，細小的），指不重要的（"unimportant"）．
4．B  主旨大意根據(jù)全文，本文通過分析現(xiàn)狀，舉例咨詢師與學生的觀點結(jié)合作者本人觀點，來解釋目前校園咨詢流行的原因（"The reasons for school counseling's popularity"）．
