问题     The French government is to ban students from using mobile phones in the country’s primary, junior and middle schools. Children will be allowed to bring their phones to school, but not allowed to get them out at any time until they leave, even during breaks.
    Jean-Michel Blanquer, the French education minister, said the measure would come into effect from the start of the next school year in September 2018. It will apply to all pupils from the time they start school at the age of six—up to about 15 when they start secondary school.
    Blanquer said some education establishments already prohibited pupils from using their mobiles. "Sometimes you need a mobile for teaching reasons...for urgent situations, but their use has to be somehow controlled," he told RTL radio.
    The French headteachers’ union was skeptical that the ban could be enforced. "This new announcement from the education ministry leaves us dubious because we’re having trouble understanding what the real issue here is. In general, we’re used to them being logical and pragmatic about things, and here, we can’t find the logic or the pragmatism in the announcements," said Philippe Vincent, the union’s deputy general secretary.
    Outside one middle school in the centre of Paris, pupils asked about the measure seemed unimpressed. "I don’t understand how it will work. Who will take the phones, where will they put them...how will we get them back?" said one 13-year-old boy.
    Parents seemed uncertain too. "It’s probably a good idea when the kids are in school, but they can’t ban them bringing them to school," said Sabine. "My daughter goes to school and comes home on her own, and at this time of year it’s dark so early, so I want her to have a phone with her. It’s reassuring. "She added: "But rather than a ban, wouldn’t it be better to install a signal blocker in schools?"
    Blanquer has already suggested schools could install lockers for phones, though many city centre schools have little room for them. [br] What does the passage mainly talk about?
选项 A、The measures to ensure students’ safety.
B、The ban on students using mobile phones in schools.
C、The proposals to restrict the use of mobile phones in schools.
D、The benefits of using mobile phones properly in schools.
答案 B
解析 主旨大意题。文章开篇指出，法国政府将禁止国内的小学生和中学生在学校使用手机，接着说明了具体要求；从第四段开始至文章结束，作者就各方对该通知的反应作了陈述，指出无论是校长联盟还是学生和家长都对该通知持怀疑态度。由此可知，整篇文章是围绕严禁学生在校使用手机这一项禁令展开的，故答案为B)。
