Frequently Asked Questions

What is “UNICEF”?

UNICEF is the United Nations Children’s Fund

When created in 1946 to help children in war-torn Europe, China and the Middle East, UNICEF stood for “United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund”. In 1947, UNICEF USA was founded, one year after UNICEF, to support UNICEF’s lifesaving work for children.

By 1953, UNICEF's task was extended to address the needs of children in the developing world. At that time, the words “international” and “emergency” were dropped from the organization’s name, making it simply the United Nations Children’s Fund. UNICEF has helped save more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization.

What is UNICEF USA’s mission?

We work for the survival, protection and development of children worldwide through fund raising, advocacy and education.

How can I volunteer for UNICEF in the field?

UNICEF secures volunteers, who must have at least a Bachelor’s Degree and two-to-five years’ experience in their field of expert knowledge and skills, through the United Nations Volunteers program.

If you are a citizen of the United States and meet the above standards, send your resume to the United Nations Volunteers program at the following address for more information: United Nations Volunteers, c/o Peace Corps, 1111 20th St.N.W, Washington, DC 20526.

May I donate non-cash goods for emergency relief?

Some have asked us about donating goods here in the U.S. for emergency relief efforts abroad. While we are grateful for the desire to help, UNICEF does not accept non-cash goods. Why?

Financial donations are the fastest and most efficient way to provide assistance. Donated goods must be screened, sorted, stored and transported. UNICEF pre-positions supplies to speed up delivery and sources them locally whenever possible. A blanket donated today can take weeks, or even months, to arrive abroad. A dollar donated today, however, will be arranged tomorrow to buy lifesaving supplies.

We also purchase supplies in large quantities to save money. That means your financial donation will get more supplies to more kids in need than your donation of non-cash goods.

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了關(guān)于UNICEF(聯(lián)合國(guó)兒童基金會(huì))的相關(guān)問題：由來(lái)，使命以及談到要在UNICEF從事志愿者的要求和能否捐贈(zèng)非現(xiàn)金的物品等內(nèi)容。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞 UNICEF USA，定位文章第二段In 1947, UNICEF USA was founded, one year after UNICEF, to support UNICEF’s lifesaving work for children.可知，1947年，聯(lián)合國(guó)兒童基金會(huì)美國(guó)分會(huì)成立，比聯(lián)合國(guó)兒童基金會(huì)晚一年，旨在支持聯(lián)合國(guó)兒童基金會(huì)拯救兒童生命的工作。由第二個(gè)黑體字關(guān)于 UNICEF USA的介紹了解到其使命是通過(guò)籌款、宣傳和教育，為全世界兒童的生存、保護(hù)和發(fā)展而努力。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)理解可知，只有D項(xiàng)符合文章意義。故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題干關(guān)鍵詞to be a UNICEF USA volunteer，可以回歸文章第三個(gè)黑體字所在的段落。本段涉及到如何做志愿者的細(xì)節(jié)。根據(jù)本段中①have at least a Bachelor’s Degree (教育背景)②two-to-five years’ experience in their field of expert knowledge and skills(從業(yè)經(jīng)歷)③If you are a citizen of the United States and meet the above standards(國(guó)籍)可知，是滿足做志愿者的三個(gè)要求。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，只有D 項(xiàng)未提到。故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干問捐款比非現(xiàn)金物品更好的原因，文章第四個(gè)黑體字主要講能否捐贈(zèng)非現(xiàn)金物品的相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)。根據(jù)其后第二段：While we are grateful for the desire to help, UNICEF does not accept non-cash goods.Why? 第三段：Financial donations are the fastest and most efficient way to provide assistance.可知，財(cái)政捐贈(zèng)是提供援助的最快最有效的方式。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，只有選項(xiàng)B符合。故選B項(xiàng)。

做閱讀理解題，找準(zhǔn)題干的關(guān)鍵詞為定位文章答案起到了事半功倍的作用。關(guān)鍵詞通常是題干中的名詞、名詞短語(yǔ)以及問題的疑問詞，理解了關(guān)鍵詞，題干也就容易了。進(jìn)而結(jié)合選項(xiàng)找出和文章意義一致的選項(xiàng)。如第2小題，由題干關(guān)鍵詞to be a UNICEF USA volunteer，可以回歸文章第三個(gè)黑體字所在的段落。本段涉及到如何做志愿者的細(xì)節(jié)。根據(jù)本段中①have at least a Bachelor’s Degree (教育背景)②two-to-five years’ experience in their field of expert knowledge and skills(從業(yè)經(jīng)歷)③If you are a citizen of the United States and meet the above standards(國(guó)籍)可知，是滿足做志愿者的三個(gè)要求。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，只有D 項(xiàng)未提到。故選D項(xiàng)。
