周末练习一

周末练习一阅读理解(一)Each year，millions of children around the world are unable to go to school.To draw attention to this widespread（普遍的）problem，the United Nations (UN) is putting education first.Recently，the UN screened（拍摄）a documentary film （纪录片）called Back to School.The film is the second in a series of documentaries (纪录片) for the project（项目）Time for School.These films follow seven children from seven different countries.This 12-year project began in 2003，when the children first started school.“This is something we could do to help the education crisis（危机）in the world，”said producer and writer Judy Katz.“Documentary film­makers can get deeply involved in （介入）a problem and do something a bout it.”More than 100 million children will never set foot in（进入，接触到）a school. Sixty percent of those children are girls. Cheryl Faye，head of the UN Girls Education Initiative，spoke about the many factors that prevent girls from getting an education.One problem is the long distance many children must travel to get to school. Also，girls in many cultures are traditionally expected to marry early and work to help their families.“We need to make a special effort for girls，”Faye said.As part of the UN’s Mill ennium（千年）goals，the organization wants every single child to get at least an elementary education（基础教育）by 2015.Students from Lawrence Middle School in New York were deeply moved after they saw the film. The seventh-grade class is raising（筹集）money to help build a library on the outskirts（郊区）of Nairobi（内罗比，肯尼亚首都），Kenya，where Joab—a child in the documentary—lives. The class teacher，Karen Weiner，and the class are known in their school as the “Kenya crew”．All the kids were really happy to support Joab and said they felt great about their fund-raising efforts. Like the seventh-graders at Lawrence Middle School，kids can work together to make a difference in places like Nairobi. By raising money for education，kids can help children on the other side of the world have a chance of a better，happier life.1．What’s the purpose of the UN screening the documentary film Back to School?A．To raise awareness（意识）of the need for global education.B．To show the achievements which have been made in the past few years.C．To raise funds for global education.D．To encourage all the children to come back to school.2．Special efforts should be made for girls because ______.A．sixty percent of the children in the world are girlsB．more than 100 million girls will never go to schoolC．most of the girls are tired of going to schoolD．more than one half of the children who never go to school are girls3．Which of the following could not be the factor that prevents（阻止）girls from getting an education?A．Long distance from school.B．Being born weak.C．Helping work for the family.D．Early marriage.4．Why are the class teacher，Karen Weiner，and the class considered as “Kenya crew”？A．Because they are trying their great efforts to raise money for the education of Kenya Children.B．Because they are actors in the documentary film Back to School.C．Because they are mostly from Kenya，where the child in the documentary lives.D．Because they all have the same experience as Joab，the Kenya child.5．The last paragraph mainly discusses ________.A．American middle school students’desire to go to KenyaB．the content of the documentary film Back to SchoolC．an example of being inspired to take action after seeing the filmD．how students from Lawrence Middle School raise money for their education （二）Education for Japanese children is free for the first nine years and all children must go to school for six years of primary schooling and three years of secondary schooling.In the primary and secondary schools，about 99.9 percent of school-age child ren are present.School usually begins at 8 o’clock in the morning and ends at 3 o’clock in the afternoon on weekdays and at noon Saturdays.The school year begins in April and ends in March.There is a summer holiday in August and a winter holiday during the New Year season.After nine years of schooling，students can enter the three-year high school by passing an examination and by paying a small charge（收费）each year.After high school，students can go on to study at various types of colleges，usually for four years.There are also two-year junior colleges.1．When do Japanese students have a summer holiday?A．September.
