阅读理解（共4篇每题2分，共40分）
A
From November 1st to December 10th in 2020, China started its seventh national population census (普查). 7 million census takers have asked each family about their name, gender (性别), age, education, employment (职业) and so on. This census is different from the ones in the past. For the first time, citizens were encouraged to use smartphones and other digital tools to record their information.
China has a national population census every 10 years. The first one was done in 1953. At that time, there were about 600 million people in China. But China’s population has boomed. It was about 1.37 billion in 2010.
For the 2020’s national population census, all residents (居民) of China were included in the census. But Chinese citizens who had settled (定居) abroad and foreign citizens who were staying in China on either business or tourist visas (签证) were not counted.
“The census is very important for every citizen,” said Ning Jizhe, director of the NBS. “It will help improve infrastructure (基础建设) and public services.” For example, if census results show that there are many children living in a particular area, the government will know that it should build more schools there.
Scientists can also learn more about population growth from the census. In some years, the population grows faster than in others. Even in the same year, population growth is different in different places. Scientists can use the information to find out what causes growth in certain years and places.
21．________ was not included in the 2020’s national population census in China.
A．Name B．Transport C．Education D．Age
22．The fifth national population census in China is done ________.
A．in 1953 B．in 1964 C．in 2000 D．in 2010
23．What does the underlined word “boomed” mean in Chinese
A．下降 B．包括 C．测量 D．增长
24．________ was included in the 2020’s national population census.
A．Chinese residents who are traveling abroad
B．People who have settled in other countries
C．Foreigners staying in China with business visas
D．Foreign tourists staying in China for holidays
25．The national population census is important because ________.
A．the digital tools will be used to record the information
B．the government will build more schools
C．it is helpful to improve infrastructure and public services
D．the population in China grows faster than in others

The government in China plans to end its one-child policy (政策) and let families have two children instead. The plan was meant to balance (平衡) population development and stop a falling birth rate (出生率).
China started the one-child policy in the 1980s. But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some families in the countryside could have two children, if the first-born child is a girl. In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.
Jiang Quanbao, a population expert, explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy. “Lots of young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child,” he said.
At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. But the labor market population will drop in 35 years. That is to say, the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050. With the “two children” policy, an increase in births can solve this problem.
26．Why does the government plan to end the one-child policy
A．Because we need a larger population.
B．Because millions of people have jobs.
C．Because most families want to have a second child.
D．Because a falling birth rate must be stopped.
27．How do most young people in the cities react to the “two children” policy
A．They support the policy. B．They don’t think it is good.
C．They’re very interested. D．They’re not interested.
28．When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one-child policy continues
A．In 2025. B．In 2035. C．In 2050. D．In 2070.
29．What’s the correct time order of the following events
①The “two children ” policy was announced.
②China had a population of 1.37 billion people.
③Some families in the countryside could have two children.
④Families could have two children if one parent was an only child.
A．③④②① B．②①④③ C．④③②① D．③①④②
30．What may happen after we have the “two children” policy
A．There will be more old people.
B．The labor market population will drop.
C．Almost every family will have a second child.
D．The population development will be balanced.
C
As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first ,” he said.
“When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded （折叠的）in half, wrote their names in bold with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.
“I couldn’t t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.
31．What did Mr. Black want the students to do in his class
A．Read loudly B．Take notes carefully.
C．Be active D．Listen
32．How did the writer’s classmates behave when they were asked questions
A．They raised their hands. B．They shook their heads.
C．They closed eyes. D．They lowered their heads.
33．How did the speaker get to know the students’ names
A．He got them from the computer.
B．He saw the cardboards on the seats.
C．He asked the students for their names.
D．He got them from the name list on the teacher’s desk.
34．What does the underlined word “eye-catching” in Paragraph3 mean
A．引人注目的 B．眼睛疼痛的 C．目光呆滞的 D．泪眼朦胧的
35．What does the writer mainly tell us
A．Doing as others do is necessary. B．Answering questions bravely is easy.
C．Attracting others’ attention is interesting. D．Showing yourself bravely can win chances.
D
It is most difficult for parents to decide to have a second child. Someone says that a single child is likely to be a lonely child. There are no other children in the family for the child to talk or play with. An only child is not able to get along well with children of his age. Some parents regretted（后悔）making the decisions to have only one child.
But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, more than 14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child. The same can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average number of children born per family had gone down to 1.42 by 1996.
For some single child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time and energy seem to be overwhelming. They don't have enough time and energy to share with more children. For other people, money is their first consideration（考虑）. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families because the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 reaches around US $ 160,000.
36.According to the passage, why is a single child likely to be lonely
A. Because his parents don't love him.
B. Because he doesn't have holidays.
C. Because he doesn't have a brother or a sister to talk or play with.
D. Because there are other children in the family.
37.What do people not think about when they choose to have a second child
A. Time. B. Food. C. Money. D. Energy.
38.What does the underlined word “overwhelming” mean in the last paragraph
A. 压倒一切的 B. 宽松的 C. 流行的 D. 充足的
39.Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. It is not easy to make a decision to have a second child.
B. Many couples in Japan love to have large families.
C. All parents feel confident about having a second child.
D．Less than 14% of women in the UK plan to have just one child.
40.The main idea of the passage is .
A. the cost of supporting a child is so high.
B. parents can't share their time and energy with more children.

D. the reasons for parents not to have a second child.

In early 2020, a disease called Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia(新型冠状病毒肺炎) hit Wuhan. In Mr Zhang’s class, the students had a class meeting yesterday. They talked about their feelings during the disaster(灾难):
Wu Xing: I always spent most of my time playing computer games, watching TV and chatting online. I never noticed how hard my parents were leading their lives. My father kept smoking that day. I dared not ask him why he was so unhappy. My mother told me that he lost his job because of this disaster. Many people were unemployed like my father.
Xu Yanjing: My friend told me that her uncle worked in Wuhan. His uncle would drive back, bring them all kinds of presents and spend a period of good time with all the family every winter holiday. But this spring festival he didn’t come back. His uncle is a doctor. They couldn’t get in touch with him. They were so worried. I suddenly realized that the time when the family get together is so wonderful. I feel so sorry that every time when my mother asked me to have supper, I just couldn’t keep my eyes away from the TV!
Dong Meimei: My mother asked me a question, “What if I die ” To be honest, I never thought of such a question before that. We have lived together for over 14 years. I never imagined what my life would be if my mother left me. I suddenly realized that my mother will leave me because of disaster, illness or because she gets too old. I know I must value the time when we are together. I must take care of myself and my family. It’s my duty to do so.
Huang Ye: I went across some fields with my parents one day. Nothing was grown in the fields! I asked my father why it was like that. My father told me that the farmers were afraid they had no chance to sell what they grow. During this disaster, workers can’t get back to work, farmers can’t farm, students can’t get back to school. I feel so sad. But I believe that if we keep trying, the hard time will go away.

China has a national population census every 10 years. The first one was done in 1953. At that time, there were about 600 million people in China. But China’s population has boomed. It was about 1.37 billion in 2010.
For the 2020’s national population census, all residents (居民) of China were included in the census. But Chinese citizens who had settled (定居) abroad and foreign citizens who were staying in China on either business or tourist visas (签证) were not counted.
“The census is very important for every citizen,” said Ning Jizhe, director of the NBS. “It will help improve infrastructure (基础建设) and public services.” For example, if census results show that there are many children living in a particular area, the government will know that it should build more schools there.
Scientists can also learn more about population growth from the census. In some years, the population grows faster than in others. Even in the same year, population growth is different in different places. Scientists can use the information to find out what causes growth in certain years and places.
21．________ was not included in the 2020’s national population census in China.
A．Name B．Transport C．Education D．Age
22．The fifth national population census in China is done ________.
A．in 1953 B．in 1964 C．in 2000 D．in 2010
23．What does the underlined word “boomed” mean in Chinese
A．下降 B．包括 C．测量 D．增长
24．________ was included in the 2020’s national population census.
A．Chinese residents who are traveling abroad
B．People who have settled in other countries
C．Foreigners staying in China with business visas
D．Foreign tourists staying in China for holidays

22．推理判断题。根据“From November 1st to December 10th in 2020, China started its seventh national population census (普查).”以及“China has a national population census every 10 years.”可知，人口普查每十年一次，2020年是第七次，所以第五次应该是2000年，故选C。
23．词义猜测题。根据“At that time, there were about 600 million people in China. But China’s population has boomed. It was about 1.37 billion in 2010.”可知，这里说的是中国的人口从刚开始的6亿到2010年的13.7亿，应该是增长的，所以单词“boomed”指的是“增长”，故选D。
24．细节理解题。根据“For the 2020’s national population census, all residents (居民) of China were included in the census. But Chinese citizens who had settled (定居) abroad and foreign citizens who were staying in China on either business or tourist visas (签证) were not counted.”可知，出境旅游的中国居民是被列入普查的范围，故选A。

The government in China plans to end its one-child policy (政策) and let families have two children instead. The plan was meant to balance (平衡) population development and stop a falling birth rate (出生率).
China started the one-child policy in the 1980s. But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some families in the countryside could have two children, if the first-born child is a girl. In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.
Jiang Quanbao, a population expert, explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy. “Lots of young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child,” he said.
At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. But the labor market population will drop in 35 years. That is to say, the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050. With the “two children” policy, an increase in births can solve this problem.
26．Why does the government plan to end the one-child policy
A．Because we need a larger population.
B．Because millions of people have jobs.
C．Because most families want to have a second child.
D．Because a falling birth rate must be stopped.
27．How do most young people in the cities react to the “two children” policy
A．They support the policy. B．They don’t think it is good.
C．They’re very interested. D．They’re not interested.
28．When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one-child policy continues
A．In 2025. B．In 2035. C．In 2050. D．In 2070.
29．What’s the correct time order of the following events
①The “two children ” policy was announced.
②China had a population of 1.37 billion people.
③Some families in the countryside could have two children.
④Families could have two children if one parent was an only child.
A．③④②① B．②①④③ C．④③②① D．③①④②
30．What may happen after we have the “two children” policy
A．There will be more old people.
B．The labor market population will drop.
C．Almost every family will have a second child.
D．The population development will be balanced.

As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first ,” he said.
“When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded （折叠的）in half, wrote their names in bold with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.
“I couldn’t t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.

It is most difficult for parents to decide to have a second child. Someone says that a single child is likely to be a lonely child. There are no other children in the family for the child to talk or play with. An only child is not able to get along well with children of his age. Some parents regretted（后悔）making the decisions to have only one child.
But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, more than 14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child. The same can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average number of children born per family had gone down to 1.42 by 1996.
For some single child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time and energy seem to be overwhelming. They don't have enough time and energy to share with more children. For other people, money is their first consideration（考虑）. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families because the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 reaches around US $ 160,000.

A. Because his parents don't love him.
B. Because he doesn't have holidays.

B. Many couples in Japan love to have large families.
C. All parents feel confident about having a second child.
D．Less than 14% of women in the UK plan to have just one child.
40.The main idea of the passage is .

With the growing population, many problems appear. For example, we haven’t enough food for everyone in the world, many people are out of work, the cities are too crowded, air and water get dirty...
China is a big country of agriculture with the largest population in the world. There are still many people living below the poverty line. We should carry on the family planning policy to control the growth of the population. If each family has only one healthy child, we can all live a happy life. Do you think so
