参考答案：CBDA本文主要讲述的是苏格兰公投的一些问题。4.C，细节题，苏格兰独立公投的目的是什么？根据第二段：Scotland’sexperimentofallowingmorethan109,000Scottishteenagersaged16to17tookpartintheScottishindependencereferendum(公民投票),inwhichScotlandfinallydecidednottobecomeindependent.和第三段中句子：tohelptheirnationdecidewhethertobreakawayfromtheUKafter307yearsinunion.。公投结果是不独立，那么公投的目的就是确定是否独立了。5.B，细节题，根据最后两段可知答案：他们讨论了是否让16岁及以上拥有选举权，并且ProfessorJasonBrennan认为美国应当这样，据此推断答案B正确。6.D，词义猜测题，admitto承认，许可进入；objectto拒绝

knowabout了解approveof赞同，支持，年轻人投票支持这种根本的政治变化。7.A，细节题，根据他所说的话：There’snoevidencetosuggestthatthey’relesscapablethanadultsofvoting,没有证据表明16-17岁的少年在投票方面不如成年人，那么就说明他们和成年人一样了，故答案选A。
