举一反三
In recent years, the world has made progress in reducing deaths among children under the age of five. A new report says an estimated 6.9 million children worldwide died before their fifth birthday. That compares to about twelve million in1990.
The report says child mortality rates have fallen in all areas. It says the number of deaths is down by at least 50 percent in eastern, western and southeastern Asia. The number also fell in North Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.
Ties Boerma is head of the WHO’s Department of Health Statistics and Informatics. He says most child deaths happen in just a few areas.
TIES BOERMA: “Sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia face the greatest challenges in child survival. More than eighty percent of child deaths in the world occur in these two regions. About half of child deaths occur in just five countries—India, which actually takes twenty-four percent of the global total; Nigeria, eleven percent; the Democratic Republic of Congo, seven percent; Pakistan, five percent and China, four percent of under-five deaths in the world.”
Ties Boerma notes that, in developed countries, one child in one hundred fifty-two dies before his or her fifth birthday. But south of the Sahara Desert, one out of nine children dies before the age of five. In Asia, the mortality rate is one in sixteen.  
The report lists the top five causes of death among children under five worldwide. They are pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and problems both before and during birth.
Tessa Wardlaw is with the U-N Children’s Fund. She is pleased with the progress being made in Sub-Saharan Africa. The area has the highest under-five mortality rate in the world. But she says the rate of decline in child deaths has more than doubled in Africa.
TESSA WARDLAW: “We welcome the widespread progress in child survival, but we importantly want to stress that there’s a lot of work that remains to be done. There’s unfinished business and the fact is that today on average, around nineteen thousand children are still dying every day from largely preventable causes.”
The World Health Organization says one way to solve these problems is to make sure health care services are available to women. In this way, medical problems can be avoided or treated when identified.
小题1:Since 1990, the number of the children who died before 5 in the world has dropped by about__________.
A.6,900,000B.12,000,000C.1,200,000D.5,100,000
小题2: What does the underlined word “mortality” ( in Paragraph 2)mean?
A.illnessB.reductionC.deathD.problem
小题3:According to the passage, the readers are likely to believe that __________.
A.child mortality rates have fallen just in five areas
B.Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest under-five mortality rate in the world
C.in developed countries, no children die before the age of five
D.the world has made little progress in reducing the rates of child mortality
小题4:______ is the top-one cause of death among children under five worldwide.
A.Global warming B.MalariaC.PneumoniaD.Diarrhea
小题5:What will be probably referred to in the following paragraph?
A.Women do not want to have babies.
B.How more health care services are available to women.
C.Medical problems are completely solved.
D.The World Health Organization.

For their nick-of-time acts, Toby, a 2-year-old dog, and Winnie, a cute cat, were named Dog and Cat of the Year by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.   
As Amy Paul choked(哽住) on a piece of apple at her home, her dog jumped up, landing hard on her chest and forcing the piece in her throat out. When the Keesling family of Indiana was about to be killed by carbon monoxide, their cat clawed at the wife Cathy’s hair until she woke up and called for help.
No one could explain their timely heroics.
Both pets were rescued by their owners in infancy-----Toby as a 4-week-old thrown into a garbage bin to die, and Winnie as a week-old orphan hiding under a barn, so helpless that Cathy’s husband, Eric, had to feed her milk with an eyedropper.
As the Keeslings recalled it, a gas-driven pump being used broke down, spreading carbon monoxide through the house. By the time Winnie went to rescue, the couple’s 14-year-old son was already unconscious. “Winnie jumped on the bed and was clawing at me, with a kind of angry sound,” Cathy Keesling said. The state police responding to her 911 call said the family was only minutes from death, judging by the amount of poisonous gas in the house.
Amy Paul’s husband was at his job when she took a midday break from making jewelry and bit into an apple. “Normally I peel them, but I read in Good Housekeeping Magazine that the skin has all the nutrients, so I ate the skin, and that’s what caused me to choke,” she recalled. “I couldn’t breathe and I was in panic when Toby jumped on me. He never does that, but he did, and saved my life.”
Both Toby and Winnie accompanied their owners to the awards luncheon.
小题1:What would be the suitable title for the passage?
A.Great Honors for Cat and Dog
B.Dog and Cat Honored for Saving Their Masters
C.Unforgettable Experiences
D.So Smart Animals Are
小题2:Winnie saved the lives of its owner’s whole family in an accident by __________.
A.jumping onto its ownerB.calling for help
C.making some strange noisesD.clawing at Cathy’s hair
小题3:Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “infancy” in Paragraph 4?
A.babyhoodB.YouthC.Middle ageD.agedness
小题4:What caused the carbon monoxide spreading through the house?
A.A pump breaking down.B.A driver breaking into the house.
C.The burning gas.D.The poisonous gas.
小题5:Why did Amy Paul choke on a piece of apple?
A.She was too young to care for herself.
B.She had a big bite.
C.She didn’t peel the skin as usual.
D.The apple was too hard.

A photographer takes a picture of the Chinese bronze rat head and rabbit head sculptures display on the preview of the auction(拍卖) of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge’s art collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, Feb, 21, 2009. Chinese lawyers have asked the French court to stop auction house Christie’s putting two bronze relics(文物)looted (掠夺)from China
under the hammer, lawyers said Friday.
A Paris court on Monday ruled against stopping the sale of two
looted Chinese bronze sculptures which come up for auction at
Christie’s on Wednesday. Under the ruling of the Tribunal de Grande
Instance in Paris, the plaintiff(起诉人), the Association for the
Protection of Chinese Art in Europe(APCAE),was ordered to
pay compensation(赔偿)to the defendant.
Ren Xiaohong, a lawyer for APCAE, told Xinhua that it was “of great significance” to file the lawsuit. “We hope to arouse public attention in Europe on the fate of numerous Chinese works stolen in the past, to help keep those relics well protected and collected,” Ren said.
The Qing Dynasty(1644—1911)relics, the heads of a bronze rabbit and a rat, were among an original set of 12 bronze animal heads that were once decorated at the imperial summer resort Yuanmingyuan. They were looted when the palace was burnt down by Anglo-French allied forces during the Second Opium War in 1860.
The pair became part of a collection of the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. They have been put up for auction by his partner, Pierre Berge. The two items are expected to fetch between 16 million and 20 million euros.
So far, five of the 12 bronze animal heads have been returned to China, while the whereabouts of five others are unknown.

D.find the other five bronze animal heads and return them to China
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true?
A.The 12 bronze animal heads have been put up for auction.
