Asians are immigrating (移居) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the west. In Asia, especially in China, Japan and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university. The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the west. So these children bee satellite kids, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a satellite kid. Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the satellite kids problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a satellite kid means growing up in such a country, where you know you are different and you can39。t make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means growing up alone, because your parents are not there.(1)Satellite kids refer to (指代) the Asian kids . A.without parentsB.living abroad aloneC.with university educationD.not speaking English(2)Some Asian immigrant children bee satellite kids because their parents . A.want to leave their own countryB.want them to go to universityC.return to their countries to workD.want them to depend on themselves(3)The following problems of satellites kids are right except . A.they grow up aloneB.they don39。t often go to schoolC.they can make friends easilyD.their parents can not look after them(4)What is the main idea of the passage? A.Parents feel lonely abroad.B.Parents want a better education for their kids.C.Canadians and Americans39。 kids can39。t find jobs easily.D.Kids in foreign countries alone are very in need of care from families.【答案】 (1)B(2)B(3)C(4)D 【解析】【分析】 本文講述了在美國和加拿大“Satellite kids”他們遠(yuǎn)離父母,現(xiàn)在很多亞洲孩子去美國和加拿大上學(xué),在學(xué)習(xí)和生活上有很多的問題,他們需要父母的關(guān)愛。 (1)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called satellite kids, who live in one place but whose parents live in another ,有一群新的孩子們被稱為“衛(wèi)星孩子”,他們居住在一個(gè)地方,父母居住在另一個(gè)地方,可知這些亞洲孩子們單獨(dú)居住在國外,故選B。 (2)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university. 結(jié)果,亞洲父母決定離開國家以便于他們的孩子們能上大學(xué)??芍改缸屗麄?nèi)ッ绹图幽么笫菫榱松洗髮W(xué)。故選B。 ???????(3)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school.
