Question

If you want to do a school project on children’s rights(權(quán)利), you can look on the Internet for some information. A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.

The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:

◆Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered (庇護(hù)） by their family. If their family can’t do so, the government should take responsibility.

◆Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.

◆Children must not be cruelly punished (懲罰）by their parents or any others.

◆Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse (虐待） and neglect（忽略）.

◆No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.

Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.

In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.

The rights of children are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are not always the rights children really have.

【解析】

試題分析：短文大意：本文主要講述了，如果你想去做一個關(guān)于兒童權(quán)利的項目，你可以查詢聯(lián)合國網(wǎng)站。聯(lián)合國網(wǎng)站列出了許多兒童應(yīng)有的權(quán)利。兒童有受家庭撫養(yǎng)和保護(hù)的權(quán)利；兒童有受教育和保護(hù)的權(quán)利；兒童不可以受到父母或者其他人的殘酷懲罰。兒童有權(quán)利要求政府保護(hù)他們不受虐待和忽略。15歲以下兒童不可以參軍；兒童受保護(hù)不去長時間勞作為他人賺錢。許多地方由于各方面的條件，做不到保護(hù)兒童的這些條例。

1. countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. 可知大多數(shù)國家都同意，但有些國家不同意。所以選D。

2.所以選A。

3.根據(jù)文中Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse (虐待） and neglect（忽略）.可知兒童有權(quán)要求政府保護(hù)他們免受各種虐待和忽視，所以該選C。

4. some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. 可知有些地區(qū)學(xué)校太少。所以選A。

5.所以選D。
