In recent years,we have seen an increasing number of left-behind children suffering from death by drowning,poisoning,traffic accidents or fire incidents.Pan Lu,a researcher with the College of Humanities and Development Studies at China Agricultural University,points out that as their parents rush into cities for economic opportunities,they must rely on their children to take on some of the (34)I of farming.Nevertheless,doing farm work at an early age makes children vulnerable to injury.Besides,the rights of these left-behind children are likely to be infringed upon(侵害).It is not(35)J that they are beaten,threatened or even sexually assaulted.
Education is yet another (36)A.When the children are old enough,their parents will often put them in packed boarding houses(37)F to the public schools in order to finish their nine-year public education.However,because of the poor conditions of those houses,many left-behind children (38)G to keep up.Some even end up (39)Bschool altogether.A survey conducted by the Population Development Center at China's Renmin University,showed that only 88percent of 14year old left-behind children are still in school.Left-behind children are slowly becoming"lagging-behind"children.
In the (40)C for economic opportunity and growth,these left-behind children are becoming victims.This is a social problem for which we must find a solution.An All-China Women's Federation report suggests that the government should create a dynamic information system for the left-behind children and at the same time with the help of schools,families and communities set up a protection network the children can turn to.

解答 31~40.K H E I J A F G B C
31.K.currently 当前的,根据后面的"estimated at 60million nationwide,估计全国有6000万(留守儿童)",这一数据是截止到当前的统计结果.故选K.
32.H.psychological 心理的,通常与"emotional problems"身体上的问题并列出现的是心理上问题,这些留守儿童同时面临心理和身体上的问题.故选H.
33.E.well-being 幸福,前面提到了留守儿童的身心健康,所以对于留守儿童不仅要保证他们的人身安全,还要让他们过得幸福.故选E.
34.I.burdens 负担,根据推理,作为家庭主要劳动力的父母都外出打工了,那么只能是由留守儿童负担一些农活.故选I.
35.J.unusual 不寻常的,根据前面的"Besides,the rights of these left-behind children are likely to be infringed upon(侵害)."可知,这些留守儿童的权利可能侵犯.所以他们被殴打、威胁甚至性侵犯也不是不寻常的.故选J.
36.A.concern 关心的事,除了身心健康需要受到关注,教育问题也需要关心.故选A.
37.F.attached 连着,attached to 附属于,根据后面的目的"in order to finish their nine-year public education"可知,为了完成他们的九年义务教育,要让留守儿童寄宿在附属于公立学校的房子.故选F.
38.G.struggle 奋斗,根据"the poor conditions of those houses"可知,寄宿学校的条件很差,所以留守儿童要努力坚持奋斗.故选G.
39.B.abandoning 放弃,前面提到,有一些人坚持上学,那么就有另一些人会放弃上学.故选B.
40.C.rush 急流,"In the rush for economic opportunity and growth,these left-behind children are becoming victims",句意:在经济机遇和增长的热潮中,这些留守儿童正在成为受害者.故选C.
