A new report from the United Nations says more than 250 million children of primary school age cannot read or write. It said they could also not do basic mathematics. The report said that 120 million children have spent little or no time in school. The report also said children not going to school means countries lose money. Each year, governments lose up to $130 billion. Vibeke Jensen, a U.N. spokeswoman (发言人), said there was a global “learning crisis (危机)”. She said this was because there were not enough well-trained teachers in poor areas. She said that in one third of countries, 75 per cent of primary school teachers do not have enough training. She added: “The important thing now is to pay more attention to quality (质量).”
The report said that most of those not going to school were girls. It said it was important that developing countries educate girls. Sending girls to school can increase a country's wealth (财富) by 25 per cent over 40 years. The report said that almost two-thirds (66%) of girls in Arab countries and sub-Saharan Africa would never go to school. In Yemen (也门), just 36 per cent of young women are literate. The Reuters news agency said: “If things go on like this, the poorest part of the girls and young ladies in developing countries won’t get education until the year 2072” There was some good news. In Laos, Rwanda and Vietnam, the number of children not going to school fell by 85 per cent in the last five years.

一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷 1.阅读理解
Many years ago, I was a very shy girl at my school. I couldn't forget the way I had frozen in front of the class. My hands had shaken so badly that I couldn't read my notes. My voice had become softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly stopped me, “Masha, I know you're shy, but you worked hard on this project. If I give you another chance tomorrow, can you find your courage?
I had nodded. I had kept my head down, hoping that the school day would end soon. When I
got home that day, I could see an inviting light from the kitchen windows. Momma was backing. When Momma backed, I always watched and chatted with her. She said it was my company that made her baked goods taste so sweet.
Momma studied my face as I came into the kitchen. “What's wrong, Masha?” Tears shone in my eyes. I let the whole story out. Momma was silent for a moment. Then she said, “Let me show you something.”I followed Momma to her bedroom and carefully took out a blue ribbon that said “First Place” from it.
“I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. I won it for public speaking. It wasn't easy—I was not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”
That was the second time someone had told me that. I followed Momma back to the kitchen. What was it that made me so afraid? Soon Momma's sweet cake rose in the pans, and the smell of it comforted me as I wondered where I would find my courage. Momma put a thick piece in front of me. “ There's nothing better for heartache than Momma's love baked in a cake.” I raised a forkful of warm cake to my mouth. All the fear in the world could not take away Momma's love. I felt safe in Momma's kitchen. It was warm from the bottom of the heart. The next day I walked to the front of the classroom to give my presentation again. As I faced the class, I remember the ribbon and the smell of Momma's kitchen and then took a deep breath and began to speak with confidence. Finally I succeeded. (1)Why was Masha unhappy that day?
A. She was not good with her classmates. B. Her teacher criticized her. C. She didn't perform well in front of the class. D. She failed in an exam. (2)How many times had people told Masha she need find courage?
A. Once B. Twice C. Third times D. Many times (3)________ help Masha find her courage.
A. Momma's blue ribbon B. Momma's cake C. Mr. Roberts D. Momma's love (4)What's the best title of this passage?
A. My mother and I B. I found my courage again
C. My shyness D. The blue ribbon and the cake made by Momma 【答案】 (1)C
(2)B (3)D (4)B
【解析】【分析】这篇文章主要讲述了一个害羞的小女孩在一个报告会上很紧张,表现得很不好,在妈妈的帮助和鼓舞下被母爱感受,最终找到了面对困难的勇气,在第二次挑战中取得了成功。
(1)C 推断题。由I couldn't forget the way I had frozen in front of the class. My hands had shaken so badly that I couldn't read my notes. My voice had become softer even to silence.可知她在报告会中及其紧张,像被冻住了一样,双手颤抖甚至说不出话。显而易见,她在报告会上表现得不好。由I had kept my head down, hoping that the school day would end soon. Tears shone in my eyes. I let the whole story out.她低着头,希望这一天赶紧过去,回家后还哭了告诉了妈妈整件事。由此可见她是因为在课堂上表现不好而不开心。故选C。
(2)B 细节理解题。由第一段老师说的can you find your courage和第四段妈妈说的You just need to find your courage.可以看出共有两次。由第四段That was the second time someone had told me that. 也可以看出共有两次。故选B。
(3)D推断题。由There's nothing better for heartache than Momma's love baked in a cake. All the fear in the world could not take away Momma's love.可知她认为治疗心病最有效的是蛋糕背后蕴含着的母爱,母爱能够战胜所以恐惧。所以很明显帮助她找到勇气的是母爱而不是蛋糕或者其他东西,故选D。
(4)B 主旨大意题。文章多次提到了勇气第一段can you find your courage?第四段You just need to find your courage.the smell of it comforted me as I wondered where I would find my courage由此可见,找到勇气是文章的一条主线,引出了妈妈,是母爱让她找到了勇气,升华了主题。用其他题目都不能很好地概括文章,没有画龙点睛的效果,故选B。 【点评】这是一篇记叙文,同时里面也有作者的一些观点。文章以一个害羞的小女孩找到了勇气为为线索,证明了母爱的伟大,升华了主题。做题时应该兼顾全文,从全文中推断出答案,而不能只看一句话,要通观全文。主旨大意题要能够看到作者要表达的内在意思,不能只看到文章的字面意思。

Corky was a brave young man and he dreamed of becoming the best fighter in the world. To become stronger and get better fighting skills, he went to many schools. One day, he went to the best school in the world. Before entering the gate, he was made to hand in all his weapons (武器).
\"You won't need those any more. Here you'll get better ones,\" said the guard. Corky handed his weapons to him. A serious old teacher took Corky to his room. Before he left, he said to Corky, \"In a hundred days the training will start.\" A hundred days! At first Corky thought that was a joke, but he soon realized the old teacher had been serious. Corky felt nervous during the first days and he tried many ways to try to get the teacher to start the training. However, it didn't work. At last Corky waited patiently and enjoyed each day in the school.
\"You've already learned how to use your main weapon—patience,\" said the old teacher. Corky could hardly believe it, but he really understood that the teacher was right. Finally, the lesson began. \"Now it's time to learn how to win every fight,\" said the old teacher. That sounded good to Corky until he found himself tied hand and foot. Many villagers tried to hit him because they were told that Corky was a dangerous man. The same thing was repeated for days, and Corky knew he had to do something. He realized that the only way would be to deal with the villagers' anger (怒气). In the following days, Corky kept talking to them until he managed to make them believe that he was not an enemy.
