問題詳情：

    The world is witnessing the worst refugee crisis(難民危機) since World War II. Tens of thousands of people are fleeing civil war and unrest(動盪) to find new homes in Europe — sometimes with sad consequences(後果).

On Aug 27, Austrian officials found the dead bodies of 71 Syrian migrants(移民) in a deserted truck near Austrian-Hungarian border, just as European leaders were holding a meeting in Vienna to figure out how to deal with the refugee crisis. On the same day, 200 migrants were found dead and 200 rescued as two boats packed with refugees sank off the coast of Libya, according to media reports.

The terms “migrant” and “refugee” are often used interchangeably. But there’s a big difference between them, says an article in the Atlantic magazine. Here is how the United Nations defines refugees:

“Refugees are persons fleeing armed conflict( 武 裝 衝 突 ) or ill-treatment. Their situation is often so dangerous and intolerable that they cross national borders to search for safety in nearby countries. …These are people for whom denial(拒絕) of protection has possibly deadly consequences.”

Migrants, on the other hand, move mainly to improve their lives by finding work, or for education, family reunion or other reasons, said the agency.

Countries should offer refugees certain protections under their international treaty obligations(條約義務).

This is why some states hesitate to admit those people who are fleeing unrest in their home countries.

When talking about refugee and immigration problems, many media outlets use “illegal immigrant”. Critics say that it gives the impression that it’s the person that is illegal rather than their actions. The UN and the EU parliament have called for an end to the phrase, the BBC reported.

【分析】

這是一篇說明文。世界正在經歷二戰以來最嚴重的難民危機。成千上萬的人正在逃離內戰和*，到歐洲尋找新的家園——有時會帶來悲慘的後果。文章講述難民和移民的區別。

54．推理判斷題。根據第三段The terms “migrant” and “refugee” are often used interchangeably. But there’s a big difference between them, says an article in the Atlantic magazine. Here is how the United Nations defines refugees: “Refugees are persons fleeing armed conflict( 武 裝 衝 突 ) or ill-treatment. Their situation is often so dangerous and intolerable that they cross national borders to search for safety in nearby countries. …These are people for whom denial(拒絕) of protection has possibly deadly consequences.” “移民”和“難民”這兩個詞經常互換使用。但是《大西洋》雜誌的一篇文章說，它們之間有很大的區別。聯合國是這樣定義難民的:“難民是逃離武裝衝突或虐待的人。他們的處境常常是如此危險和難以忍受，以至於他們跨越國界到鄰近國家尋求安全。對這些人來說，拒絕保護可能會帶來致命的後果。”由此可知，講述“難民”和“移民”之間的區別是為了說明為什麼有些國家不願意接納難民。故選B。

55．推理判斷題。根據第三段中“Refugees are persons fleeing armed conflict( 武 裝 衝 突 ) or ill-treatment. Their situation is often so dangerous and intolerable that they cross national borders to search for safety in nearby countries. …These are people for whom denial(拒絕) of protection has possibly deadly consequences.” “難民是逃離武裝衝突或虐待的人。他們的處境常常是如此危險和難以忍受，以至於他們跨越國界到鄰近國家尋求安全。對這些人來說，拒絕保護可能會帶來致命的後果。”和第四段Migrants, on the other hand, move mainly to improve their lives by finding work, or for education, family reunion or other reasons, said the agency.“另一方面，該機構表示，移*要是為了找到工作、接受教育、家庭團聚或其他原因來改善生活。”由此推知，根據文字，“難民”不同於“移民”，因為他們都跨越國界，但有不同的目的，並且難民可能面臨致命的後果，而移民是相對安全的。故選B。

56．推理判斷題。根據最後一段When talking about refugee and immigration problems, many media outlets use “illegal immigrant”. Critics say that it gives the impression that it’s the person that is illegal rather than their actions. The UN and the EU parliament have called for an end to the phrase, the BBC reported.“在談到難民和移民問題時，許多媒體使用‘非法移民’一詞。批評人士說，這給人的印象是，違法的是那個人，而不是他們的行為。據英國廣播公司報道，聯合國和歐盟議會呼籲廢除這一說法。”由此推知，接下來的幾段可能討論“提供難民保護的措施”。故選C。

【點睛】

做推理判斷題時，要求考生在閱讀時，要抓住文章的主題和細節，分析文章結構，根據上下文內在聯絡，挖掘文章的深層含義。在進行推理時，考生一定要仔細閱讀短文，千萬不可脫離原文而僅憑個人的看法，主觀臆斷。本題第3小題，根據最後一段When talking about refugee and immigration problems, many media outlets use “illegal immigrant”. Critics say that it gives the impression that it’s the person that is illegal rather than their actions.
