题型:不详难度:来源:
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(监管) 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.

试题分析:
全国17岁以下留守儿童人数众多,他们缺少教育和父母关爱,导致他们缺乏自信、生理心理成长缓慢,有些成为问题少年。虽然各地采取了一些措施,但还有许多问题有待解决。
小题1:细节题。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,留守儿童很难见到父母是因为他们的父母是农民工,农民工专指在外地城市谋生的农民。故选择C项。
小题2:细节题。由第二段She was reunited with her parents last Spring Festival一句可知,Li Ling 去年春节与父母团聚了,排除A项;第三段最后一句Others may even become "problem youths"表明只是部分留守儿童成为问题少年,排除B项;第二段Li is one of the 61. 02 million left-behind children under 17一句说明17岁以下留守儿童有6100多万,C项说的是全部留守儿童有6100多万,排除。最后一段Wang suggested that the country do more说明国家还有许多可做。故选择D项。
小题3:主旨大意题。全文先介绍了17岁以下留守儿童目前的数量,接下来讨论了留守儿童因为缺乏教育和父母关爱而存在的问题,最后说明一些地方采取的措施以及有待解决的问题。A项文章无依据;C,D两项只涉及文章一个方面,不能涵盖全文。故选择B项。
小题4:推断题。留守儿童是一个社会问题。本文主要讨论的不是教育问题,排除A项;不是娱乐问题,也不是就业问题,排除C,D两项。故B项正确。

举一反三
In countries around the world, food has been used to celebrate at our holidays, our rituals and our family gatherings. The food eaten at holiday time has made the deepest impact on our culture and memories. Different holidays bring different types of food. Much of the food we eat during the holidays comes from old traditions handed down for hundreds of years.
New Year"s Eve always brings parties and get-togethers, but where you live in the world may determine what food graces your table. In the southern US, partiers eat black eyed peas, which are thought to bring good luck and prosperity(繁荣). The Japanese also eat food for good luck on New Year"s, but their choice is red snapper, the color red being considered good luck in Japan. The Jewish celebrate New Year by eating apples dipped in honey and in Madrid, Spain the last minutes of the New Year are counted down with the popping of grapes into the mouth. A pet is a cake prepared by the Greek with a coin baked into it. The person who gets the slice of cake with the coin in it should have good luck in the upcoming year.  
In the United States, a typical Christmas feast can contain a variety of foods ranging from turkey to chicken, from ham to goose, but other countries celebrate this holiday differently. Perhaps these choices have been taken from the traditions of our heritage(遗产). In Denmark, a traditional Christmas meal is roast goose, Greece, leg of lamb. Traditionally, Italians keep their Christmas Eve meal meatless. The traditional Christmas dinner in New Zealand is a picnic eaten on the beach.  
Though holidays around the world are celebrated in different ways, it is food, feast and family that bring us together.

“I pity the empress. Poor empress.” “Do you think Zhen Huan really loves the emperor?” From campuses to offices, from shopping malls to the streets, talk about Legend of Zhen Huan is everywhere.
Unlike other long TV series, Legend of Zhen Huan, the 76-episode Qing dynasty drama series, has kept attracting new audiences along the way. It has enjoyed widespread popularity on the Chinese mainland over the past months.
The story is seemingly the same as those dramas which look into the lives of women in the imperial palace. It focuses on plots and intrigues(阴谋) within the Inner Palace during Emperor Yongzheng’s reign.
The heroine, Zhen Huan, initially a kind and innocent young lady, enters the emperor’s harem(后宫) of concubines. Discovering that the palace is a cruel and harsh place, Zhen learns how to survive on her own.
  However, Legend of Zhen Huan seems to arouse more discussion than any drama series. Why? Some experts say it’s because it’s a well-made series from inside out.
Niu Hanting, deputy editor-in-chief of Art Panorama magazine, told Xinhua News Agency that the sets, props and costumes are carefully chosen. And the screenplay and dialogue are well-written. “The series takes care of every detail a good period drama should have,” Niu said. “From that aspect, it’s no coincidence that Zhen Huan could be big.” More importantly, Niu added, the TV series strikes a chord among audiences in different ways. “For example, as a woman, Zhen is hurt by the man she once loved. And as a newcomer to the palace, she finds herself caught in the fierce infighting and she has to survive,” Niu said, “Everyone may find themselves in Zhen’s position at a certain point.”
Then it’s not hard to understand why the story of Zhen Huan is even seen as a survival guide for newcomers in the workplace. Its director, Zheng Xiaolong, once admitted that in terms of society today, the “promotion” of Zhen Huan reflects a person’s career path in some way. “Whether the principles can be applied in today’s society, or not, I want to make the story as real as possible,” Zheng told Sina.com. “There are many fairytale-like series that make audiences ignore or avoid reality, and the complexity of humanity.” “But Legend of Zhen Huan, is a series that makes you think.”
小题1:What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.People have pity on the empress.
B.Zhen Huan really loves the emperor.

In times of economic crisis, Americans turn to their families for support. If the Great Depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate. But this won’t necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages. In the long run, the Depression weakened American families, and the current crisis will probably do the same.
  We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses. By 1932, when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929. But this doesn’t mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn’t afford to divorce. They feared neither spouse could manage alone.
  Today, given the job losses of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households. Furthermore, the housing market meltdown will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.
  After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities. A 1940 book “The Unemployed Man and His Family”, described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job “with tireless search for work.” He was always active, looking for odd jobs to do.
  The problem is that such an impulse is hard to sustain. Across the country, many similar families were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale(士气). For some, the hardships of life without steady work eventually overwhelmed their attempts to keep their families together. The divorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery took hold.
  Millions of American families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to the current crisis, working together and supporting one another through the early months of unemployment.
  Today’s economic crisis could well generate a similar number of couples whose relationships have been irreparably(无法弥补地)ruined. So it’s only when the economy is healthy again that we’ll begin to see just how many broken families have been created.
小题1:In the initial stage, the current economic crisis is likely to __________.
A.tear many troubled families apart
B.bring about a drop in the divorce rate
C.contribute to enduring family ties
D.cause a lot of conflicts in the family
小题2:In the Great Depression many unhappy couples chose to stick together because_______.
A.starting a new family would be hard
B.they expected things would turn better
C.they wanted to better protect their kids
D.living separately would be too costly
小题3:In addition to job losses. What stands in the way of unhappy couples getting a divorce?
A.Mounting family debts
B.A sense of insecurity
C.Falling housing prices
D.Difficulty in getting a loan
小题4:What will the current economic crisis eventually do to some married couples?
A.It will irreparably damage their relationship
B.It will undermine their mutual understanding
C.It will help strengthen their emotional bonds
D.It will force them to pull their efforts together
小题5:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The economic recovery will see a higher divorce rate
B.Few couples can stand the test of economic hardships
C.A stable family is the best protection against poverty.
D.Money is the foundation of many a happy marriage

Who are these people rushing by you in the street? More than 215 million people now call America “home’’, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “American’’is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of “side-by-side”, living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools, business, and sports-but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side-by-side” has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another. However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America. Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in Churches, music, food, national groups, or newspapers.

If you live in America in the 21st century you"ll probably have to listen to a lot of people tell you how busy they are. It"s become the default response when you ask anyone how they are doing: “Busy!” “Crazy busy!”. It is, pretty obviously, a boast disguised as a complaint. And the common response is a kind of congratulation:“ That"s a good problem to have, ”or“ Better than the opposite.”
Notice it isn"t generally people pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU or commuting by bus to three minimum-wage jobs who tell you how busy they are. What those people are is not busy but tired. Exhausted! Dead on their feet. It"s almost always people whose busyness is purely self-imposed work and obligations they"ve taken on voluntarily, classes and activities they"ve “encouraged” their kids to participate in. They"re busy because of their own ambition or drive or anxiety, because they"re addicted to busyness and dread that they might have to face in its absence.
Almost everyone I know is busy. They feel anxious and guilty when they aren"t either working or doing something to promote their work. It"s something they have chosen. Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance(令人安心的保证),a measure against emptiness, obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or tiny or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day.
Idleness is not just a vacation. It is as necessary to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as ugly as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration.” Idle dreaming is often the essence of what we do”, wrote Thomas Pynchon. Archimedes" “Eureka” in the bath, Newton"s apple :history is full of stories of inspirations that come in idle moments.
小题1:When many Americans say “Crazy busy”, they mean______.
A.they are really tired of their present situation
B.they are really proud of their present life
C.they are complaining about their current work
D.their life are full of all kinds of problems
小题2:The writer mentions Archimedes"“Eureka” and Newton"s apple to show that________.
A.history is full of interesting stories
B.Archimedes and Newton were very busy, so they made great discoveries
C.people may get inspiration when they are idle
D.inspirations come from hard work
小题3:The word “its” in the second paragraph refers to_________________.
ambition      B. anxiety         C. busyness        D. dread
小题4:From the article, we can infer that ___________________.
A.generally people pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU tell you they are busy
B.“Dead on their feet” means “being tired out”
C.all the kids are self-imposed due to the drive and motivation
D.The author seems to agree that idleness is better than busyness
