Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant

Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.
　　The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.
　　Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don't make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.
　　Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossing and do not take any chances when crossing the road. My next point is about litter（throwing away waste material in a public place）. It is an offence to drop litter in the street.
　　When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin. Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.
　　I'd like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.
　　Now, are there any questions?
【小题1】The main purpose of this speech would be to .A．prepare people for international travelB．declare the laws of different kindsC．give advice to travelers to the countryD．inform people of the punishment for breaking laws　　【小题2】How many laws are there discussed in the speech？A．Three.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.　　【小题3】From the speech we learn that .A．in this country, if you are under 18 years of age, you may not buy alcohol, but your friend can buy it for youB．you may not buy cigarettes or tobacco unless you are above 16 years of ageC．because the traffic moves on the left side of the road, you must use pedestrian crossings when crossing the roadD．you can't make noise except at nightC

(答案→)C 解析：【小题1】本题考查对文章整体意义的理解。从文中第一段“…，welcome to England. ”和“I would like to draw attention to a few of our laws.”可以得出答案C，“give advice to travelers to the country.”【小题2】文章的第二、三、四、五段分别给出了具体内容：drinking, noise, crossing the road, litter and smoking. 【小题3】从文中第二段可知，A选项中的“but your friend can buy it for you”是错误的。C项的前后两句并不构成因果关系。D项中的except at night和原文的particularly at night正好矛盾，也不正确，所以正确选项为B。
