Question

【題目】 Support tech education for street youth in Lebanon

About CodeBrave We train former street youth in digital skills, coding and robotics, helping them to secure jobs that are not only well-paid but future-proof too. We run our programme in a shelter for homeless children. We have now been successfully carrying out the programme since June 2018. In this time, our children have gone from barely knowing how to use a computer, to writing the code for basic websites totally from scratch. We want to carry on developing the programme in 2020 by continuing appropriate tech education of 20 children, and to engage a further 40 children. Former street youth are often forced into exploitative work. Young people living in shelter often end up back on the street as soon as they leave state care. They become trapped in a cycle of poverty, as they don't have marketable skills to secure well-paid work. Often the only work opportunities available to them are hard manual labour. Why is the tech sector a window of opportunity? Tech education provides young people with marketable skills in a sector where there is a growing demand and shortage of supply in the Middle East. It also gives them access to an international online job market. Where Your Money Will Go

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】D

【解析】

這是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章主要講述了一項(xiàng)倡議：支持黎巴嫩街頭青年的技術(shù)教育，并提倡大家對此項(xiàng)目進(jìn)行資金捐贈支持。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章“About CodeBrave”部分內(nèi)容“We train former street youth in digital skills, coding and robotics, helping them to secure jobs that are not only well-paid but future-proof too. We run our programme in a shelter for homeless children.( 我們在數(shù)字技術(shù)、編碼和機(jī)器人技術(shù)方面培訓(xùn)曾經(jīng)的街頭青年，幫助他們獲得不僅薪酬豐厚，而且經(jīng)得起未來考驗(yàn)的工作。我們在一個(gè)收容無家可歸兒童的地方執(zhí)行我們的計(jì)劃。)”且后文提及了“donations”。由此判斷出應(yīng)這是一個(gè)免費(fèi)的數(shù)字技能項(xiàng)目。故選B項(xiàng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章“Why is the tech sector a window of opportunity?”部分內(nèi)容“Tech education provides young people with marketable skills in a sector where there is a growing demand and shortage of supply in the Middle East. It also gives them access to an international online job market.( 科技教育為年輕人提供適銷對路的技能，而在中東，這一領(lǐng)域的需求日益增長，而供應(yīng)卻出現(xiàn)短缺。這也讓他們有機(jī)會進(jìn)入國際在線就業(yè)市場。)”可知，選擇科技教育是應(yīng)就業(yè)市場需求。故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章“Where Your Money Will Go”下 的 所 占 比 例 中 的“ Teaching costs:79.1％可知，大部分的捐款都花在在對學(xué)生的教育經(jīng)費(fèi)上。故選D項(xiàng)。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題

考查內(nèi)容主要涉及時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物、事件、原因、結(jié)果、數(shù)字等議論文中例證細(xì)節(jié)和定義類細(xì)節(jié)。這類題目的共同特點(diǎn)是：答案一般都能在文章中找到。當(dāng)然，答案并不一定是文章中的原句，考生需要根據(jù)文章提供的信息自己組織語句回答問題。

事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題→尋讀法

分為直接理解題和間接理解題，前者常用who, what, which, when, where, why和how提問，或判斷正誤；后者需與原文信息轉(zhuǎn)換，表達(dá)上與原文有差異。比如文章的第2小題：

2. What made CodeBrave choose tech education?

A. The importance of marketable skills. B. The desire to get rid of poverty.

C. The request from the state care. D. The demand of the employment market.

為直接理解題，根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞“why；choose tech education”定位到原文“Tech education provides young people with marketable skills in a sector where there is a growing demand and shortage of supply in the Middle East. It also gives them access to an international online job market.”，與選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行對比，可知選項(xiàng)D. The demand of the employment market.為原文的同義表達(dá)。故選D項(xiàng)。
