One of the most important things for these schools is sport．C ricket （板球），rugby （英式橄榄球） and rowing （赛艇运动） are played nearly every day．These games build teamwork and discipline （纪律）．There is a famous saying in English：‘The British Empire （帝国） was built on the playing fields of Eton．'

Answer 1

分析 你能想象出在古城堡生活和学习是什么样吗？我正在探讨是英国寄宿学校，一些孩子像哈利波特一样生活（虽然可悲的是没有魔法）．
寄宿学校在英国是很昂贵的．每年平均的花费是￡25，152 （人民币254，011元）．学校通常都很古老，而且历史悠久．他们在英国历史上扮演着重要的角色，并和牛津和剑桥大学有着紧密的联系．学生们通常都是很富裕的，威廉姆王子和哈里王子都曾在伊顿公学上学，这所学校出了19名英国首相．
在这些学校，运动是最为重要的一件事情．板球、英式橄榄球，赛艇运动几乎每天在进行．这些比赛可以培养团队协作精神和建立良好的纪律．英文中有一句著名的谚语："大英帝国是建立在伊顿公学运动场上的．"
寄宿学校常常出现在英语的书本和电影中．年轻的孩子没有父母，在寄宿学校独自长大，这些孩子都可以在成百上千个故事中找到，即使现在最著名的是哈利波特．寄宿学校正在变得越来越国际化，少了一些传统．将近9000名外国留学生去年进入一所英国的寄宿学校，其中1/3来自中国．

解答 66．寄宿学校通常都很古老，而且历史悠久．英汉翻译题．句中rich in history指历史悠久．
67．Boarding school is often foundin the British books and films．英汉翻译题．此句可根据后句The young child without parents growing up in a boarding school is found in hundreds of stories…进行翻译，其中be found in是出现的意思．
68．They can learn to build teamwork and discipline．细节理解题．题干意为：学生们参加这些日常运动可以学到什么？根据第三段可知通过参加这些比赛，他们可以学会培养团队协作精神和建立良好的纪律．
69．Nearly 3.000 students．数字计算题．根据最后一段Nearly 9，000 foreign kids joined a British boarding school last year，and a third of these came from China．可知有将近9000的外国留学生进入了一所寄宿学校，其中1/3来自中国，故中国学生有9000*1/3=3000．
70．British boarding school．主旨大意题．文章主要介绍了英语寄宿学校的一些相关情况．
