V.阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
UNICEF says more than 3,700 children across West Africa have lost one or both parents to Ebola. Doctors Without Borders Axelle Vandoornick said,“The growing number of Ebola orphans is a crisis of its own. There are many orphans.This is again when we talk about crisis in a crisis; this is one of the consequences at a social level. There are more and more orphans.”?
Child care services in Sierra Leone are almost non-existent. Ministry of Health Social Services officer Doris Mansare is in charge of running Kailahun’s first Ebola orphanage.She said,“It’s difficult for us to find family members, so this short-term care center was established to basically insure that we get the children from the treatment center, those that are cured from the Ebola virus and also those that are with their parents, but then are negative. We bring them to the short-term care center for three or four days, then they are reunited with family members at their separate locations. These three siblings were living alone after both parents died of Ebola. Their village rejected them. We have children who are unaccompanied and living alone in their family home, about 50 of such children, who are living alone.”?
Vandoornick said，“It can be hard to find surviving family.Ebola is wiping out entire families because the infection inside the families is the highest. A mother kissing her child, a father taking his daughter in his arms, and when you have one suspected case in one family, soon after we have basically all members of the family.”?
The fate of many of these children is unclear. Some of their parents are still sick, kept in isolation at one of Sierra Leone’s Ebola case management centers. Doris Mansare said she hopes the new center will help the growing number of orphans, but she worries about their future. “We are having more orphans, more unaccompanied children and children will become vulnerable in the future; some will not be able to cope with the care givers where we place them, and what can happen is that it will lead to other child protection issues like they becoming street children,” said Doris Mansare.Vandoornick hopes there will be many child care centers set up across Sierra Leone.

VI.阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
Freshmen are always fearful when learning they are to live with a roommate of a different race assigned by the computer casually. They are full of worry at the uncertainties. Now several studies have found that sharing a room with a man of another race is a mixture of hope and fear. It decreases prejudice and forces students to make friends with those of different races, meanwhile causes more conflicts.
An Ohio State University study found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success at college. Sam Boakye — the only black student on his freshman year floor — said “if you’re surrounded by whites, you have something to prove like a good score in study.”?
However, researchers also observed problems in this case. According to two recent studies, compared with two white roommates, roommates of different races may experience such big conflicts that one has to move out and live separately.
Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. In her opinion, this may be the first time that some of these students have lived with someone of a different race.?
At Penn, students are not asked to mention race when applying for their housing. In this way, students are thrown together randomly.?
“In the past two years, I’ve experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students,” said one Penn resident advisor (RA). To give a better picture, she added that some conflicts provided more multicultural acceptance, but some showed unpleasant differences. Besides, these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.
Kao said it was unscientific to conclude from any one of the above studies, saying scientists must study more students’ background characteristics.
1. According to several studies, what’s the advantage of sharing a room with a man of another race
A. It makes them feel at ease although one has to move out and live separately.
B. It reduces prejudice and make students of different races become friends.

D. It makes all of them achieve higher academic success at college.
2. How is this text mainly developed
A. By following time order.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving examples.
D. By making classification.
3. The underlined word randomly in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to__________
A. casually
B. intentionally
C. specially
D. carelessly
4. What’s Grace Kao’s opinion about the conclusions from the studies
A. It was scientific.
B. It was convincing.
C. It was believable.
D. It was unscientific.
5. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. We should do some research.
B. We should help each other.
C. We should draw a conclusion in a scientific way.
D. We can draw a conclusion from our study.
答案：1. B 2. C 3. A 4. D 5. C
知识点： 社会现象类；细节理解题；词义猜测题；议论文

2. 文中列举了An Ohio State University study,Grace Kao, a professor at Penn的研究来说明不同种族的人住在一起会产生更多冲突，故选答案C。
3. 根据Paragraph 1 中的“Freshmen are always fearful when learning they are to live with a roommate of a different race assigned by the computer casually.”以及paragraph 5中的 “At Penn, students are not asked to mention race when applying for their housing. In this way, students are thrown together randomly.”可知randomly与casually意思相近，故选答案A。
4. 根据Paragraph 7 中的“Kao said it was unscientific to conclude from any one of the above studies, saying scientists must study more students’ background characteristics.”可知答案选D。
5. 根据文章内容，Kao said it was unscientific to conclude from any one of the above studies, saying scientists must study more students’ background characteristics.说明我们进行调查研究得出任何结论时一定要科学，全面，避免片面性，故选答案C。
点评：本文主要讲述了大学新生中不同种族的同学随机编排住在一起的做法引起学生的争议。
