Question

【题目】Could the students from less developed areas in central and western China get the same educational chances as those in big cities in the east? Could the children in poor rural (农村) areas develop as well as those in rich cities? Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change the situation.

In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger, China’s Nutrition (营养) Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’ meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.

It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.

Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重点的) colleges and universities. The number will be increased by 10% in 2017.

With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced (均衡的) education in the future.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】C

【4】C

【解析】短文大意：本文介绍了中国不发达地区，即中部和西部学生在教育及营养方面得到了关注，特别是普及高中教育。

【1】细节理解题。根据第二段中间More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program.得到答案D。

【2】词义猜测题。根据后面的They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school.这些食物给学生，那当然应该是学生得到了实惠，故只有B才符合文意，其它均与此无关。

【3】分析归纳题。第一段提出问题，第二段举例说明第一段的观点，第三段再举例当前新的政策，第四段进一步解释第三段政策带来的好处，第五段发表作者的希望。因此这应该是一篇总分总结构的文章，即第一段为第一部分，第二、三、四为第二部分，最后为第三部分，故答案是C。

【4】细节推断题。选项A根据第三段第三行According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020知道是可以上高中的机会，而不是随意想上自己想上的学校；选项B根据第二段知道是已经存在的事实了，而不是推断可能要发生的事，故错误；选项C根据第三段内容可知普及高中当然上学机会更多，故正确；选项D的地区文章中没有涉及，Beijing不属于农村和西部地区，故错误。所以答案为：C。
