Five children are among 11 people who drowned after a migrant boat sank near a Greek island on Wednesday. The Greek coast guard said a wooden boat with about 50 people on board sank after [1]it left Turkey early in the morning. Thirteen people are still missing, but 26 were rescued.
    The deaths are just the latest in what has turned out to be a dangerous passage between Turkey and the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea this year.
    [2]The International Organization for Migration (TOM) says that more than 900,000 migrants made sea crossings into Europe this year from countries in the Middle East and Africa. Thousands more are trying to make the trip. The IOM reports almost 5,000 migrants were rescued in the first part of December by the Italian coast guard and Navy.
    1. What do we leant about the migrant boat?
    2.What does the IOM say about the migrants?
选项 A、They crossed Europe to Africa.
B、They went to Europe by sea.
C、Many of them migrate from countries in the East.
D、Thousands of them already made the trip.
答案 B
解析 新闻提到，IOM说有超过90万移民走海路 到达欧洲(more than 900.000 migrants made sea crossings into Europe)，B项中的by sea与新闻中的made sea crossing同义，故为正确答案。新闻中提到，今年九十多万移民漂洋过海，从中东和非洲国家迁移到欧洲。A项“他们从欧洲到非洲”与新闻相反。C项混淆概念，the East与新闻中the Middle East不一致。D项“数干名移民已经启程”与新闻中“数干名移民也将要启程”(Thousands more are trying to make the trip)不一致。
