答案解析:
答案为B。
本题为细节题。
由第三段“ThereasonbehindthetremendousachievementisChina’slongtraditionofcaringforchildrenbothathomeandinsociety,”可知,儿童能够健康快乐地成长的条件是社会和家庭共同的关心,故B选项符合文意。
A选项只强调了父母的作用,C选项只强调了学校和教师的作用,都太片面,均不选;D选项的“always”一词显得太过绝对化,故不选。
2.EveryyeartheBeijingChildren’sWelfareHomespends_______ontheorphans
A.1,920,000yuan B.2,160,000yuan
C.Over2,400,000yuan D.2,200,000yuanorso
答案解析:
答案为D。
本题为推理计算题。
题干要求推算出BeijingChildren’sWelfareHome在孤儿身上一年的花费,由第六段“TheBeijingchildren’sWelfareHome,…hasatpresentmorethan400children.”和第七段“…theagencyspends400—500yuanamonthforanaverageorphan.”可以推算,一年的费用在1,920,000元到2,400,000元之间,然而费用不会恰好是2,160,000元,只有D选项的答案最为准确。
3.CYDFcollected700millionyuanwiththepurposeof_______.
A.reducingdropouts
B.helpinghomelessorphans
C.supportingtheChineseTeamforthecomingAtlantaOlympicGames
D.establishing2,074Hopeprimaryschoolsalloverthecountry

本题为细节推理题。
由倒数第二段“Bytheendoflastyear,shesaid,CYDFhadcollectednearly700millionyuanindonations,whichhashelpedtheestablishmentof2,074Hopeprimaryschoolsandenabledmorethan1.25milliondropoutstoreturntoschoolclassrooms.”可知,CYDF筹集的资金用于帮助建立希望工程小学,让失学儿童返校,A选项和D选项都是文章所提到的,然而A选项“减少失学儿童”是这笔资金的最终目的,D选项是达到此目的的方式,故答案为A。
4.Wecaninferfromthetextthat_______.
A.EveryChinesechildhasitsownspecialneed,soweshouldpayspecialattentiontoeach.
B.Allthechildreninthepoverty-strickenregionsofChinaaretoopoortogotoschool.
C.Eversinceliberation.theChineseCommunistPartyhasbeenconcernedaboutthegrowthoftheyoungergeneration.
D.WiththehelpofUNICEFofficials,therearenomoredropoutsinChina.
答案解析:
答案为C。
本题为推理题。
由第六段“TheBeijingchildren’sWelfareHome,setupsoonafterNewChinawasfoundedin1949,hasatpresentmorethan400children.”可知,自从新中国建立以来,TheBeijingchildren’sWelfareHome里收养了400多名孤儿,可以推断C选项“自从解放以来,中国共产党一直关心儿童的成长”与文意符合。
故答案为C。
由第四段“What’smoreisthatChinesepeoplehavealwaysgivenspecialattentiontochildrenwhoareinspecialneed.”可知,需要给予有特别需求的儿童特别关注,A选项意为“给每个儿童特别关注”曲解了文章的意思,故错误,B、D选项表述错误,均不选。
5.Itispossiblethatthispassagewaswrittenin_______.
A.1992 B.1996 C.1998 D.2000
答案解析:
答案为B。
本题为细节题。
由最后一段最后一句话“TheywillbetorchbearersfortheChineseTeamfortheupcomingAtlantaOlympicGamesthisyear.”可知,此文章写于亚特兰大奥运会举办的那一年,而这年是在1996年。
故答案为B。
