Americanteensliketodriveoutandsocialtogetherinbiggroups.D. Italianyouthsenjoypizzaandbeerbecausetheyarecheap.【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段可知在很多方面，年轻的意大利人和美国人以相似的方式度过他们的空闲时间。听音乐、看电影、出去玩、锻炼身体和上网都是打发空闲时间的常见方式。美国青少年通过运动和上网来打发时间是正确的。故选A。4.Ifthereisonemoreparagraphinthispassage,whatwillitmostprobablybeabout?.TheworkingconditionsoftheyoungAmericansandItalians.B. Thedifferencesinpracticingsportsbetweenteensofthetwonations.C. ThecentralpiazzasandareasbuiltaroundhistoricalsitesinItaly.D. TheurbanarrangementofthehighlypopulatedAmericancities.【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第一段可知作者想要说明意大利年轻人和美国年轻人在工作、娱乐和运动方面的差异；第二段内容谈论了工作方面的差异;笫三、四段谈论了娱乐方面，因此接下来会谈到运动方面的差异。故如果这篇文章还有一段话，最有可能是关于两国青少年在运动方面的差异。故选B。【知识拓展】长难句分析1.
