问题    Three children in every classroom have a diagnosable mental health condition. Half of these are behavioural disorders, while one third are emotional disorders such as stress, anxiety and depression, which often become outwardly apparent through self-harm. There was an astonishing 52 per cent jump in hospital admissions for children and young people who had harmed themselves between 2009 and 2015.
   Schools and teachers have consistently reported the scale of the problem since 2009. Last year, over half of teachers reported that more of their pupils experience mental health problems than in the past. But teachers also consistently report how ill-equipped they feel to meet pupils’ mental health needs, and often cite a lack of training, expertise and support from the National Health Service (英国国家医疗服务体系).
   Part of the reason for the increased pressure on schools is that there are now fewer ’ early intervention (干预)’ and low-level mental health services based in the community. Cuts to local authority budgets since 2010 have resulted in a significant decline of these services, despite strong evidence of their effectiveness in preventing crises further down the line.
   The only way to break the pressures on both mental health services and schools is to reinvest in early intervention services inside schools.
   There are strong arguments for why schools are best placed to provide mental health services. Schools see young people more than any other service, which gives them a unique ability to get to hard-to-reach children and young people and build meaningful relationships with them over time. Recent studies have shown that children and young people largely prefer to see a counsellor in school rather than in an outside environment. Young people have reported that for low-level conditions such as stress and anxiety, a clinical setting can sometimes be daunting (令人却步的).
   There are already examples of innovative schools which combine mental health and wellbeing provision with a strong academic curriculum. This will, though, require a huge cultural shift. Politicians, policymakers, commissioners and school leaders must be brave enough to make the leap towards reimagining schools as providers of health as well as education services. [br] What do we learn from the passage about community health services in Britain?
选项 A、They have deteriorated due to budget cuts.
B、They facilitate local residents’ everyday lives.
C、They prove ineffective in helping mental patients.
D、They cover preventative care for the local residents.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。定位段第一句提到，现在社区的“早期干预”和初级心理健康服务越来越少，接下来在第二句分析了原因，自2010年以来，地方政府预算的削减导致了这些服务的大幅下降，故答案为A)“由于预算削减，它们情况恶化了”。
