The UN Security Council was created in 1945. It is made up of 10 rotating (轮值的) members and five permanent members, which have a veto, the power to stop a resolution (决议). Most UN members now consider the organization's structure outdated. But any changes need the agreement of two-thirds of the 191 members, and no veto from any of the five permanent council members.

Last year, Japan, Germany, Brazil and India formed a lobbying (游说) group to get permanent council seats. But North and South Korea have doubts about Japan, Italy opposes Germany for a seat, Pakistan is against India's candidacy (候选资格) and Mexico and Argentina frown on Brazil.

A wave of emotion swept through China last week as millions voiced their opposition to Japan's permanent membership of the United Nations (UN) Security Council. By last Friday over 22 million Chinese had signed an online petition (请愿) against Japan's bid for a permanent seat on the council.

According to major Chinese websites, such as sina.com, more than 170,000 overseas Chinese also signed. This is the first online activity of its kind.

The petition was started by US-based Alliance for Preserving the Truth of the Sino-Japanese War (抗日战争史实维护会). They want Japan to apologize for crimes during World War II. The group also plans to present the petition to the UN this autumn.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said he didn't think the petition shows anti-Japanese feeling. He believed instead it is a request for Japan to take a responsible attitude towards history.

What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

       A.Function of the UN in world affairs.     B.Members of the UN.

       C.Facts about the UN Security Council.    D.Reform of the UN Security Council.

Which statement is true according to the text?

       A.Four countries, such as Japan, Germany, Brazil and India are applying for joining the UN.

       B.Some countries, such as North and South Korea, Italy, Pakistan, Mexico and Argentina

propose ticking the four countries out of the UN.

       C.If the countries’ bids for permanent membership of the Council are turned down, the

opponent countries will take the place.

       D.The UN Security Council is going to take in new members.

The underlined phrase “frown on” in the third paragraph can be replaced by _____.

       A.agree on         B.disapprove of  

       C.give a firm support to          D.say yes to

What’s the main reason for China’s opposition to Japan’s permanent membership of the

Council?

       A.Japan is unwilling to admit to its crimes against the Chinese in the World War II.

       B.Millions of people in Asia signed a petition against it.

       C.The Chinese people have strong anti-Japanese feeling.

       D.Japan is an irresponsible country that once had a history of invasion.

解析:

这是一篇新闻类短文。包括日本在内的几个国家极力挤身于联合国安理会,千万中国人反对日本成为联合国常任理事国,敦促日本反省历史。

【小题1】段落主旨题。本段主要介绍联合国安理会是个什么样的组织及联合国常任理事国有什么权力。

【小题2】推测题。本文中提到了日、德等国要加入联合国常任理事国行列,有些国家表示反对,虽然目前尚未结果,由此事实可推测联合国安理会将要接纳新成员。

【小题3】词义猜测题。根据上文意义猜测,frown on肯定与前面出现的have doubts about;opposes;is against同义,表示“不同意,反对”。

【小题4】细节题。根据短文最后两段“They want Japan to apologize for crimes during World War II”和“it is a request for Japan to take a responsible attitude towards history”可知:日本不愿承认在二战中对中国人民犯下的罪行,这是中国反对日本成为联合国常任理事国的理由。
