【答案解析】[听力原文]
   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 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 of the Aegean Sea this year. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) says 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. The organization says over 21,000 migrants arrived in Greece by sea this month. In total, 3,600 migrants died making journeys from their home countries to Europe this year. On Tuesday, the Associated Press news agency reported six children died after a rubber boat sank shortly after leaving Turkey.
   Q: How many people are still missing after the sinking of the boat?
周三，一艘移民船在希腊一座岛屿附近沉没，造成11人溺亡，其中有5名儿童。希腊海岸警卫队表示，清晨，一艘搭载了大约50人的木船离开土耳其，随后沉没了。13人至今下落不明，但已有26人获救。土耳其和爱琴海上希腊岛屿之间的这一航道已被证实是非常危险的，这起死亡事故仅仅是今年最近发生的一起。国际移民组织(IOM)表示，今年超过90万名移民从中东和非洲国家通过海路进入欧洲，还有成千上万人也试图踏上这条移民道路。国际移民组织报道称，12月上旬有近5000名移民被意大利海岸警卫队和海军所救。该组织称，本月，超过2.1万名移民通过海路到达希腊。今年，共有3600名移民在离开祖国前往欧洲的途中遇难。周二，关联社报道称，一艘橡胶船在离开土耳其不久后沉没，造成6名儿童死亡。
