题文

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 place．
Asians are immigrating 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 than in the East．Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes．Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West．Therefore, these children become “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 kid” 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 to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well．Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere．What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education．
小题1:Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________．A．they hope their children may easily find a job thereB．the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countriesC．all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countriesD．the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends小题2: “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________．A．without patentsB．living abroad aloneC．with university educationD．speaking no English小题3:Some Asian immigrant children become “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 be independent小题4: What is the main idea of the passage?A．Parents want better education for their kids．B．Parents feel lonely and miss their families．C．Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem．D．Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family． 题型：未知 难度：其他题型

答案

小题1:B 
小题2:B
小题3:C
小题4:D

解析

本文叙述了一些父母因为自己的孩子在国内不能上大学，于是就想出让自己的孩子在国外上学的想法，而父母在国外不能找到好的工作，于是他们就回到了自己的国家，而把孩子留在的异国他乡成了satellite kids孩子，他们在国外没有父母的监督和关心，学习和生活都不是很快乐。
小题1:细节理解题。根据in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go．因为他们的孩子在自己的国家不能上大学，所以送到国外很容易上大学，故选B。   
小题2:推理判断题。A项明显错误，并非指没有了父母的孩子；C项错误，目的是上大学, 并非指拥有大学教育的孩子；D项表述错误，亚洲不讲英语的孩子有很多，这里强调的是在国外求学的亚洲孩子；依文章最后一段中的“To be a ‘satellite kid’ means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well．Also, it means to grow up lonely”可知B项正确。means一词，起到了下定义的作用。故选B。
小题3:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句话“Therefore, these children become ‘satellite kids’”可知，前文是其原因，因为他们的父母回到了自己的国家找工作去了，而把孩子留在了异国他乡，故选C。
小题4:主旨大意题。文章讨论了satellite kids这一群体的成因及这些孩子的表现和心声，由此可知，本文是以“孩子”为中心来写的，由此排除A、B、C三项。故选D。
