Many Chinese kids, known as "left-behind" children, hardly ever see their parents, because their parents are migrant workers.

      Li Ling, 11, is a left-behind child. Her parents have been working in Zhejiang for 10 years, while she lives with her grandparents in Guangdong. She was reunited with her parents last Spring Festival. As the number of migrant workers in China increases, the number of left-behind children is rising fast. Li is one of the 61. 02 million left-behind children under 17. They account for 37. 7 percent of rural children and 21. 88 percent of all Chinese children

     The large number of left-behind children has already become a social issue. If left unsolved, it will cause serious problems, Wang Zhenyao, director of the China Philanthropy Research Institute, told China Daily. The education level of adults supervising(監(jiān)管) these children is generally not that high. They can only take care of the children's personal safety and daily living, being unable to care for their educational and spiritual needs. Meanwhile, the absence of parental support will make some left-behind children lack self-confidence. They may be slower in physical and emotional growth than their peers. Others may even become "problem youths".

     To solve this problem, the government is taking action. For instance, 30 provinces and cities have allowed certain children to attend school and take the college entrance exam in the city where their parents are. However, Wang suggested that the country do more, such as making policies encouraging migrant workers to work in their hometowns. He also said that a well-balanced child welfare system is needed. "These children are the future of the nation, so they deserve our loving care and protection," Wang said.

A. they are poor and in rural areas

B. they are brought up by their grandparents

試題分析:

全國17歲以下留守兒童人數(shù)眾多,他們?nèi)鄙俳逃透改戈P(guān)愛,導(dǎo)致他們?nèi)狈ψ孕、生理心理成長緩慢,有些成為問題少年。雖然各地采取了一些措施,但還有許多問題有待解決。

1.細節(jié)題。由第一段Many Chinese kids, known as "left-behind" children, hardly ever see their parents, because their parents are migrant workers.一句可知,留守兒童很難見到父母是因為他們的父母是農(nóng)民工,農(nóng)民工專指在外地城市謀生的農(nóng)民。故選擇C項。

2.細節(jié)題。由第二段She was reunited with her parents last Spring Festival 一句可知,Li Ling 去年春節(jié)與父母團聚了,排除A項;第三段最后一句Others may even become "problem youths"表明只是部分留守兒童成為問題少年,排除B項;第二段Li is one of the 61. 02 million left-behind children under 17一句說明17歲以下留守兒童有6100多萬,C項說的是全部留守兒童有6100多萬,排除。最后一段Wang suggested that the country do more 說明國家還有許多可做。故選擇D項。

3.主旨大意題。全文先介紹了17歲以下留守兒童目前的數(shù)量,接下來討論了留守兒童因為缺乏教育和父母關(guān)愛而存在的問題,最后說明一些地方采取的措施以及有待解決的問題。A項文章無依據(jù);C,D兩項只涉及文章一個方面,不能涵蓋全文。故選擇B項。

4.推斷題。留守兒童是一個社會問題。本文主要討論的不是教育問題,排除A項;不是娛樂問題,也不是就業(yè)問題,排除C,D兩項。故B項正確。

考點:說明文。

Like many other nations, China has been busy putting together evacuation (撤僑)plans for its citizens stuck in crisis-torn Libya.The real surprise has been just how many Chinese are living there.The foreign ministry does not know for sure but puts the figure at 30-40,000.
The huge contingent (代表團) in Libya, who work for at least 27 Chinese companies, has brought to light one of the new dilemmas facing China as its economic interests expand.For a mixture of reasons that are partly political, partly business, Chinese workers are now present in many of the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world, including places where anti-Chinese sentiment over jobs and working conditions is on the rise.One of the first wake-up calls was in 2007, when a group of Chinese women were kidnapped in Pakistan, an event which led to the siege of the Red Mosque in Lahore.In the same year, nine Chinese oil workers were killed in Ethiopia.In recent years, Chinese workers have been kidnapped in Cameroon, Congo and Afghanistan.
Publicly, Chinese diplomats admit that the country needs better contingency plans to deal with this sort of situation.Privately, they worry about a different issue: that such incidents will force them to get much more involved in domestic political disputes in far-off lands, pulling the government away from its commitment to a policy of non-interference.The nightmare, a few diplomats and academics admit, would be a large, violent attack on a group of Chinese which then prompted an intense nationalist reaction at home, forcing the government to take the sort of interventionist (干涉主義的) actions it tries to shun
Beijing gave some indication of how it will respond in the future with the decision on Thursday to send the frigate(護衛(wèi)艦) Xuzhou, currently conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia, to Libya.Its mission will be to help the evacuation effort, but it is also a warning to any in Libya who might attack Chinese interests, as well as the latest indication of the growing global reach of China’s navy.As Andrew Erickson, a China expert at the US Naval War College says: “This latest initiative(方案) is part of a larger ongoing increase in Chinese power, presence, and influence around the world, and should come as no surprise.China has global interests, cannot free ride forever, and requires a presence in critical areas and situations in order to have a voice.”
【小題1】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.There are many Chinese workers in the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world.
B.China should protect workers in the foreign countries.
C.China are taking actions to bring its citizens back from Libya.
D.The international situation is terrible
【小題2】The underlined word “shun” in the third paragraph most probably means?
A.take part inB.a(chǎn)voidC.carry outD.refuse
【小題3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.It remains unknown how many Chinese are living in Libya.
B.A large number workers are working abroad, which bring about advantages and disadvantages.
C.In no case will the Chinese government take part in solving the political problems in far-off lands.
D.Our government take immediate action to deal with this sort of situation.
【小題4】What’s Not true about the frigate Xuzhou?
A.It is conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia.
B.It will help the evacuation effort.
C.It is a warning to Libya who might attack Chinese interests.
D.It indicates that China’s navy can reach an increasing number of parts of the global.

"Hey, little boy, will you support me when I'm getting old?" Wang Wenshan, 35, asked his newborn baby as he picked him up at home.

The Chinese tradition of raising sons to support parents in their old age has been weakened by the rapidly growing economy and improving standard of living.As is the case with more and more developed countries, China faces an aging society.People are living longer and having fewer children.Therefore, many Chinese families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four elderly parents.But few realize that a problem is likely to happen ahead.

The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries.Not long ago, the Information Office of the State Council, China's cabinet, issued a white paper on measures China is taking to help its elderly population.The paper said China s population entered the aging period at the end of the 20th century as the proportion rote) of people aged 60 and above accounted for over 10 percent of the entire population, By the end of 2005, China had nearly 144 million people over 60, accounting for 11 percent of the population, according to the white paper.

An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the problem concerns every aspect of society.It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problems.It also challenges the labor force supply and the pension system.

"I used to think that it's not an issue for me to provide, for the aged," said Wang, whose parents and parents-in-law all enjoy pensions and medical insurance.But last year Wang s father suffered a serious illness and afterward Wang began to feel the pressure on his shoulders.

After his father recovered, Wang opened bank accounts for each parent and deposited some money into the account every month to prepare for future uncertainties.In addition, he has to save money every month to provide for his son s future education."I m now breaking my back working to support my family: saving pensions for the parents, my son s education funds, and living costs."

Wang also bought some commercial old-age insurance for himself."We have to take precautions before it is too late, and many of my colleagues share the same view," he said.

1.Which of the following is not caused by an aging society?

A.Social problem.

B.The problem of the pension system.

C.More pressure on the family.

D.Unemployment.

2.From the passage, we can infer___.

A.the aging people problem is one of the concerns for the Chinese government

B.China will encourage young couples to have more than one child

C.many people have realized the problem of aging society

D.children will not support their parents in an aging society

3.Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined word inevitably?

A.Surprisingly.

B.Certainly.

C.Hopefully.

D.Unluckily

4.From the text we can see that           .

A.China is the only country to face an aging society

B.most of the developing countries face an aging society

C.countries with a large population face an aging society

D.more and more developed countries face an aging society
