Ongoing conflicts across the Middle East have prevented more than 13 million children from attending school, according to a report published by UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund.
The report states that 40% of all children across the region are currently not receiving an education, which is a result of two consequences of violence: structural damage to schools and the displacement (轉(zhuǎn)移) of populations, also called “forced migration.” Both issues result from the violence that has crossed the region in recent years. The report examines nine countries where a state of war has become the ordinary state. Across these countries, violence has made 8,500 schools unusable. In certain cases, communities have relied on school buildings to function as shelters for the displaced, with up to nine families living in a single classroom in former schools across Iraq.
The report pays particularly close attention to Syria, where a bloody civil war has displaced at least nine million people since the war began in 2011. With the crisis (危機(jī)) now in its fifth year, basic public services, including education, inside Syria have been stretched (竭盡所能) to breaking point. Within the country, the quality and availability of education depends on whether a particular region is suffering violence.
The report concludes with an earnest request to international policymakers to offer money and other resources to help ease the regional crisis. With more than 13 million children already driven from classrooms by conflict, the educational future of a generation of children are in the balance. This is destroying the future for an entire region.
（1）What is this article mainly about?
A.Why people are moving away from their own countries.
B.Why there are civil wars and violence in the Middle East.
C.Why many schools have become shelters for displaced families.
D.Why many children in the Middle East are not attending school.
（2）Why is “Iraq” mentioned in the second paragraph?
A.To convince people that temporary housing can be easily found.
B.To prove that class rooms there are big enough to host many families.
C.To give an example of why schools are not usable for children's learning.
D.To show how structural damages of school can affect the quality of education.
（3）What does the phrase “in the balance” in the last paragraph most likely mean?
A.Being well taken care of.
B.In an uncertain situation.
C.Under control by the authority.
D.Moving in the wrong direction.
（4）According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A.The war in Syria has been going on since 2011.
B.More than nine thousand schools have been destroyed by wars.
C.Thirteen million people have been forced to leave their homes in the Middle East.

（3）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)文意可知，超過(guò)一千三百萬(wàn)兒童因武力沖突失學(xué)，兒童教育前景懸而未決，故應(yīng)選B。
（4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“The report pays particularly close attention to Syria, where a bloody civil war has displaced at least nine million people since the war began in 2011. ”指出敘利亞的內(nèi)戰(zhàn)開(kāi)始于2011年，故答案選A。

The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the –street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?”
Hit the streets with confidence. Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic,” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.
Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don't get discouraged.
Each interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won't be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten.
If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don't leave work without them.
A. Limit your time.
B. As you approach people, be polite.
C. If you don't own a camera, you can buy one.
D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.
E. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.
F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.
G. With a question like this, you will get more than a ‘Yes” or “No” reply.

My decision to travel around China lay merely with my curiosity about the place. Before coming here, China seemed alien to me ----a place that expected to be hugely dissimilar from my own British culture.
After travelling from Beijing up to Xi'an, I wanted to challenge myself by choosing a smaller town----Xiahe in Gansu Province. I arrived in Lanzhou at around 5 am, but there were no buses to Xiahe. I managed to spot a policeman and attempted to explain my destination to him in simple English, praying that he would understand. I wasn't sure that he did but I just followed him anyway as I had no choice. He took me on a bus and I didn't know where I was going. Luckily, I met a student who explained to me in English that the policeman was taking me to another bus station where I could take a bus to Xiahe. During this conversation a third man said he was also a policeman and would help me buy tickets. But as he was not in uniform, I was a little doubtful. The uniformed policeman told me it was OK to go with the third man, so I got off the bus with the so-called policeman who at this point, disappeared and I was left in the middle of nowhere. I stood panicking. Around one minute later a police car came and stopped right by me. It was the un-uniformed policeman. I got into the car and he dropped me directly at the bus station, and helped me buy the ticket.
This is one of many experiences that I have had in China. I realized that however different this culture was, there was one thing that would always stand out—kindness. In the west we seem to lack the foundation of trust, yet in China it seems that there will always be someone to answer your questions and lead you the right way.
（1）Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "alien"?
A.Unfriendly.
B.Familiar.
C.Strange.
D.Attractive.
（2）What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A.The author doubted the so-called policeman.
B.The third man could speak English fluently.
C.The author followed a student to another bus station.
D.A police car took the un-uniformed policeman away.
（3）Why did the un-uniformed policeman disappear after the author got off the bus?
A.He hurried to buy a ticket for the author.
B.He went to get a car to pick the author up.
C.The author didn't behave in a friendly way.
D.The author found a uniformed policeman to help him.
（4）According to the text, what impressed the author deeply in China?

A ten-year-old boy from Howell, Michigan America is being hailed (贊揚(yáng)…為) a hero due to his persistence (堅(jiān)持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The chain of events unfolded late in the evening on Sunday, January 26th, 2014 when Danny Dipietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his dad.
That's when the young boy noticed an open garage and a figure that he believed was a dog outside an apartment near his house. Given the extremely cold weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing (不予理會(huì)) it like most kids at his age would have, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, go to examine what was going on. Dawn tried to convince (使相信) Danny that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.
Dawn finally gave in and decided to take a walk to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to Danny's premonition (預(yù)感). Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment she noticed a garage that was wide open and a bent figure, waving madly. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog that the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge, one of her neighbors. The 80-year-old had slipped on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.
Dawn rushed home to get her husband for help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they waited for the ambulance to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and grateful to Danny for his premonition.
