operations area officer for china and mongolia said that china “can be very satisfied to tell the whole world what can be done with limited resources to help its children to grow healthily and happily.” chinas child population makes up one-fifth of the worlds total. “the reason behind the tremendous(巨大的) achievement is chinas long tradition of caring for children both at home and in society,” he said. “whats more is that chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need.” the un official made the remarks when addressing a group of 50 children

the sunshine” party, as a prelude(前奏) to celebrations to mark the childrens day. the beijing childrens welfare home, set up soon after new china was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children. a leading official of the welfare institution said that the children live a happy life and that the agency spends 400500 yuan a month for an average orphan. an average chinese workers earned 440 yuan a month during the first quarter this year. gu xiaojin, deputy secretary-general of the china youth development foundation(cydf), said people from all walks of life have contributed to the

end of last year, she said, cydf had collected nearly 700 million yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment of 2, 074 hope primary schools and enabled more than 1. 25 million dropouts to return to school classrooms. three “hope stars” also attended the party. they were model teenagers chosen among students who are economically supported by the project hope to further their nine-year

happily as long as _. a. parents take good care of them both at home and in society b. the whole society care for children as well as their parents c. schools and teachers pay much attention to the growth of children d. chinese people always give special attention to children who are in special need 答案解析：答案为b。本题为细节题。由第三段 “the reason behind the tremendous achievement is chinas long tradition of caring for children both at home and in society,” 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. every year the beijing childrens welfare home spends _ on the orphans a. 1, 920, 000 yuan b. 2, 160, 000 yuan c. over 2, 400, 000 yuan d. 2, 200, 000 yuan or so答案解析：答案为d。本题为推理计算题。题干要求推算出beijing childrens welfare home在孤儿身上一年的花费，由第六段 “the beijing childrens welfare home, has at present more than 400 children.” 和第七段 “ the agency spends 400500 yuan a month for an average orphan.” 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. cydf collected 700 million yuan with the purpose of _. a. reducing dropouts b. helping homeless orphans c. supporting the chinese team for the coming atlanta olympic games d. establishing 2, 074 hope primary schools all over the country答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节推理题。由倒数第二段 “ by the end of last year, she said, cydf had collected nearly 700 million yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment of 2, 074 hope primary schools and enabled more than 1. 25 million dropouts to return to school classrooms.”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. we can infer from the text that _. a. every chinese child has its own special need, so we should pay special attention to each. b. all the children in the poverty-stricken regions of china are too poor to go to school. c. ever since liberation. the chinese communist party has been concerned about the growth of the younger generation. d. with the help of unicef officials, there are no more dropouts in china. 答案解析：答案为c。本题为推理题。由第六段 “the beijing childrens welfare home, set up soon after new china was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children.” 可知，自从新中国建立以来，the beijing childrens welfare home 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 “whats more is that chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need.” 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. it is possible that this passage was written in _. 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 “they will be torchbearers for the chinese team for the up coming atlanta olympic games this year.”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。passage sixteen (mules)although the top men in smuggling business must work together, most of a syndicates small fry, especially the mules, know only their immediate contacts. if caught there is little they can give away. a mule probably will not even know the name of the person who gives him his instructions, nor how to get in touch with him. usually he even does not know the person to whom he has to make delivery. he will be told just to sit tight in a certain hotel or bar until someone contacts him. in this way if he is blown, coming through airport customs he cannot unwittingly lead agents to the next link in the chain. all the persons at the receiving end do is to hang around the airport among the waiting crowd, and see that the mule comes through safely. if he does not, he is dimply written off as a loss. to make identification of mules easier, several syndicates have devised their own “club ties” so that a mule wearing one can immediately be picked out. mules often receive careful training before embarking on their first journey. one beirut organization, for example, uses a room with three airline seats in it. there the trainee mules sit for hours on end wearing weighted smuggling vests beneath their clothes, so that they become accustomed to standing up after a long flight in a natural way, and without revealing what they are carrying. an outfit in brussels maintained a comfortable apartment where the mules could relax and get a firm grip on themselves on the night before their first journey; they were helped to dress before setting out for the airport in the morning. more often than not a courier will not know precisely where he is going or what flight number is until he is actually handed his tickets at the airport. this prevents the careless boast in some bar or to a girl friend the night before.mules occasionally run off with the goods to keep the profit themselves. as insurance against this, a syndicate often sends a high-up on the same plane to keep a wary eye on couriers, particularly new ones. even then things can go badly wrong. one international currency smuggler who was having trouble getting money out of britain was offered help by a group of men who said they were in a position to “fix thing” for a fee of course. foolishly, the smuggler agreed to accept their help. when he got to londons heathrow airport, he handed over to one of the men a black suitcase containing nearly $90,000 in cash, destined for frankfurt. just to keep an eye on things, the smuggler went along on the same plane. when they landed at frankfurt he was handed back his suitcase. he beat a straight path to the mens toilet, opened the case, and found only old clothes. the courier had switched suitcase en route, but the smuggler could hardly run to the police and complain that “the man who was smuggling money out of england for me has stolen it.”1.what is a “mule”?a a person who sends smuggling goods for a syndicate is called mule.a person in charge of smuggling goods is called mule.c a person who makes delivery for a syndicate is called mule.d a person who receives instructions from a smuggler is called mule.2.the sentence “if he is blown” in line (6) is closest in meaning toa if he is arrested.if he is recognized, but not necessarily arrested.c if he is recognized and arrested.d if he runs away.3.why does the author give an example in the last paragraph?a to show how a smuggler is caught.to show a smuggler is afraid of the police.c to show to keep a wary eye on couriers is useless.d to show mules may keep the profit for themselves.4.how does a mule work?a jointly.independently.c consciously.d separately.vocabulary1.fry 小鱼群，小生物群。这里的small fry是指辛迪加之子公司， 小走私集团或走私者2.sit tight 稳坐不动，坚持下去，这里指一直坐等着， 等到有人来和他联系。3.blown 欠账的，被炸毁的。这里指走私分子“出事”4.write off 销账，被勾销的项目。这里指把出事的骡子从名单上勾掉。5.written off as a loss 作为损失销账。6.embark (on) 开始搞，从事，上船。7.grip 紧握8.high up 高处，这里指高一级走私人9.fix thing 这里指“摆平事情”，解决问题10.beat 踏上11.switch 转变，调换难句译注1.in this way if he is blown, coming through airport customs he cannot unwittingly lead agents to the next link in the chain.【结构简析】条件句【参考译文】这样，一旦在他通过机场检查处时出事，他不可能愚蠢地把检查事务官引到锁链的下一个环节。2.there the trainee mules sit for hours on end wearing weighted smuggling vests beneath their clothes, so that they become accustomed to standing up after a long flight in a natural way, and without revealing what they are carrying.【结构简析】主从句。主句中分词断语wearing修饰trainee。从句中and连接两组介词短语，后有一宾语从句what they are carrying。这实际上是with(without) +v-ing+object基本句型。【参考译文】在那里，走私者衣服下穿着装有东西的厚厚的走私背心，连续几个小时坐着，所以他们在长时间飞行后，能习惯于很自然地站起来而不暴露他们身上携带的一切。3.an outfit in brussels maintained a comfortable apartment where the mules could relax and get a firm grip on themselves on the night before their first journey; they were helped to dress before setting out for the airport in the morning.【结构简析】句子结构复杂。where定语从句修饰apartment，从句中and连接两个谓语动词，后面又用分毫隔开另一句分句。【参考译文】布鲁塞尔一家走私集团长期包了一套舒适的公寓。在那里走私分子可以休息，在第一次上路前的夜晚，好好控制下自己；早上出发去机场前，有人帮他们穿好衣服。写作方法与文章大意这是一篇介绍走私分子（绰号为骡子）的文章，采用一般到具体的写作手法。先从走私集团对具体走私分子实行单线，单方面联系，分配任务，以免他被逮住后出卖更多的人，危及走私集团。接货地点的人根据各集团自制的识别标志“会员联系信号带”和走私者联系。随后是具体培训走私分子，防范措施及出岔子等一般面谢佐以具体例子作说明，如：贝鲁特走私集团培训和从伦敦运送美金到法兰克福的事件。答案详解1.c mule，骡子是为走私集团交货人的称呼，绰号。a. 是为走私集团具体运送走私货物的人。只运送，不交货不能成为骡子。b.负责走私货物的人。也不对，负责者不一定运送和交货。d.从走私者那里接受指示的人。更不对。2.b blown原义为：欠账了的，被炸毁的，坏了等。这里指：走私分子在过海关，机场检查处出事，不一定被逮捕。a.逮捕。c.认出，逮捕。d.逃跑。都不符合blown原义。3.d 说明走私分子会把利益归己。最后一段第一句“有时，走私分子带着货物逃跑，把利益归己”。走私集团为防范此事，常常派遣高级人物监视走私人，特别是新走私者，也于事无补。这段的具体例子：“走私者和委托人同机飞行，到法兰克福机场，9万美金也是不翼而飞，走私者已经捞到手。”就是说明走私者可以为自己留下财路。a.走私者被捕之事，例子中没有提及。b.走私者不去警察局报案，并不易定是害怕警察局，而是报不了。c.监督毫无用处。是副线。4.d单个干。这在第一段一开始就点明：“走私商的上层人物（头面人物）必须一起工作，而大多数辛迪加的小组织，特别是走私分子，他们只知道他们的直接联系人。一旦他们被逮捕，就没有什么可以出卖的。一个骡子甚至连给他指示的人的姓名都不知道，也不知道如何和此人联系”。a.共同干。b.独立干，走私分子不是独立，大多数是在监督之下。c.有意识地干，上下都是有意识地干。阅读理解-avisiting
