第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Although people often say we look alike,they also say that our personalities are completely different from each other.They describe me as intelligent and dependable,but consider him as self-centered.
He is my younger brother, Bob. He was born only 18 months after I was born.We did not get along well with each other. Maybe I was unhappy, even at the age of 18 months, about the new arrival. Another problem was that Bob was often sick. I must have felt cheated out of my parents' attention. I didn't understand why the two people I wanted to be with were always with him. We were fighting all the time.
Then, just over a year ago, doctors thought my brother could have cancer. Suddenly I felt as if the whole world was going black. It was at that point in my life that I realized just how much he meant to me. The day he went into surgery（手术）was one of the most terrible days in my life. When the test result came back negative（阴性），I felt as if the weight of the world had been lifted off my family and my brother.Although Bob has to go every few years for tests just to make sure that he is healthy, right now he is the picture of health.
Now, with me away at college, our relationship has improved greatly. Suddenly, he is more responsible, and is showing it. When I am home on breaks, he treats me with some respect. He even tries to include me in some of his activities with his friends.
Many years ago, I had wished that my baby brother would go away. But now,I will never find another person like him. He has the ability to make me laugh now, instead of upsetting me. I won't give him up for anything.
What might be the most possible reason for their fighting？ ______
A. The author's being self-centered.
B. The two brothers' age difference.
C. Bob's being younger than the author.
D. More of their parents' attention to Bob.
What was the turning point of their relationship？ ______
A. Bob was thought to have a bad disease.
B. Bob began to show respect to the author.
C. The author showed understanding to Bob.
D. The author was away to attend university.
How does the author regard Bob now？ ______
A. As a person who can go away.
B. As a person who must be changed.
C. As a person who will not upset him.
D. As a person who will never be replaced.
B
I enjoy life because I am endlessly interested in people and their growth. My interest leads me to widen my knowledge of people, and this in turn makes me believe in the common goodness of mankind. I believe that the normal human heart is good since their birth. That is, it's born sensitive and feeling eager to be approved and to approve, hungry for simple happiness and the chance to live.
Like Confucius, I am absorbed in the wonder of the earth, and the life on it. With a great faith in the human heart and its power to grow toward the light, I find here are reasons enough for hope and confidence in the future of mankind. The common sense of people will surely prove that mutual（相互的）support and cooperation are only sensible for the security and happiness of all. Such faith keeps me continually ready to do what one person can toward shaping the environment in which the human being can grow with freedom. This environment, I believe, is based upon the necessity for security and friendship.
I take heart in a promising fact that the future world will contain food supplies enough for the entire earth population. Our knowledge of medical science will be sufficient to improve the health of the whole human race. Our resources and education, if administered on a world scale, will lift the intelligence of the race.
Half a century ago, few people thought of world food, health and education. Many are thinking today of these things. Now I find my only questions about this： Are there enough people now who believe？ Is there enough time left for the wise to act？ It is a contest between ignorance and death, or wisdom and life. My faith in humanity stands firm.
What results in the author's belief in people's goodness？ ______
A. His understanding of people.
B. His desire for happiness.
C. His sensitive attitude to life.
D. His kindness to people.
What should people do to build a secure and happy world？ ______
A. Get ready to develop more friendship.
B. Compete with others in everything.
C. Defeat others to get enough freedom.
D. Help and cooperate with each other.
What does the author want to express in paragraph 3？ ______
A. His demand for the present life.
B. His expectation of the future world.
C. His belief in better environment.
D. His hope of human relationships.
What may be the best title of the text？ ______
A. Human Nature Is Good B. Believe in Ourselves
C. Live a Happy Life D. Help People in Need
C
On December 26, 2004, an earthquake along the Indian Ocean caused a huge tsunami that killed thousands of people in Asia and East Africa. However, wildlife officials at Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park reported no mass animal deaths. Yala National Park is home to hundreds of wild animals.
Some researchers believe the animals at the park were able to sense the earthquake and moved to higher ground before the earthquake hit. Animals have good senses that help protect themselves from being hunted by their natural enemies. It is thought that their senses might also help them sense the coming disasters. Several countries have done research on the prediction of earthquakes by animals. There are two theories about how animals may be able to sense earthquakes. One theory is that animals sense the earth’s shake. The other is that they can sense changes in the air. However, so far there has been no strong evidence about how animals may be able to sense earthquakes.
Other researchers are skeptical (怀疑) about using animals for earthquake predictions. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) officially states, “Changes in animal behaviors cannot be used to predict earthquakes. Even though there have been many cases of unusual animal behaviors before earthquakes, a connection between a specific behavior and an earthquake has not been made. Because of their fine senses, animals can often feel the earthquake at its earliest stages before the humans. That’s why people say that the animal knew the earthquake was coming. But animals can also change their behaviors for many other reasons.”
Although scientists disagree on whether animal behaviors can be used to predict earthquakes, they all agree that it is possible for animals to sense changes in the environment before humans. Researchers around the world are continuing to study the connection between animal behaviors and earthquakes. It is hoped that these studies will help to predict earthquakes.
28. What can we know about animals’ senses
A. They are not reliable. B. They can change the environment.
C. They can protect animals in some ways. D. They can prevent animals acting strangely.
29. What does the USGS mean according to the third paragraph
A. Animal behaviors can be used to predict earthquakes.
B. Animal behaviors are closely related to earthquakes.
C. Animals are bound to act strangely before an earthquake.
D. Animals might change their behaviors while being hunted.
30. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to scientists’ study
A. Disappointed. B. Positive. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. Will big earthquakes cause tsunami B. Why does animals change their behaviors
C. Can animals truly predict earthquakes D. How can animals’ senses be put into use
D
China has announced that couples will be permitted to have up to three children in a major policy shift from the existing two-child limit, after recent data showed a dramatic decline in births in China, the world’s most populated country.
“To actively respond to the ageing of the population…a couple can have three children,” state media Xinhua reported on Monday, citing a committee meeting hosted by President Xi Jinping.
Early this May, China reported the slowest population growth since the early 1960s, despite scrapping its one-child policy in 2015 to encourage more births and avoid a potential population crisis.
A once-a-decade survey showed that the overall population of China grew to 1,41178 billion in the 10 years to 2020, up by 5.38%. The increase reflects an average annual rise of 0.53%, down from 0.57% reported from 2000 to 2010.
The announcement drew a chilly response (遇冷) on Chinese social media, where many people said they could not afford to have even one or two children. “I am willing to have three children if you give me 5 million yuan ( 554,350),” one user posted on Weibo. As a matter of fact, experiment of the three-child policy in Heilongjiang province in the last few years also resulted less effectively than expected.
It is not only China that is facing such a population challenge. Across east Asia, governments have, for years, been struggling to persuade couples to have more babies. South Korea and Japan both have used allowance (津贴) to encourage.
The policy change will come with “supportive measures, which will be beneficial to improving our country’s population structure, fulfilling the country’s strategy of actively coping with an ageing population and maintaining the advantage of human resources”, Xinhua said.
32. What can we know about the current population of China
A. China sees a huge increase in births because of the two-child policy.
B. China reported the smallest population since 1960s early this May.
C. China is now faced with the problem that its population is ageing.
D. China has adopted one-child policy in 2015 to reduce overpopulation.
33. What’s the meaning of the underlined word scrapping in the third paragraph
A. Pursuing. B. Changing. C. Continuing. D. Canceling.
34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the fourth to sixth paragraphs
A. China has a smaller population in 2020 than in 2010.
B. Many couples aren’t able to raise more children.
C. Hei Longjiang has the smallest population in China.
D. Korea and Japan manage to cope with ageing population.
35. What will the author discuss in the following part
A. Specific supportive measures in three-child policy.
B. Main reasons why the population is ageing.
C. Potential risks that ageing population will bring.
D. Various attitudes towards three-child policy.

Dear Terry,
How are you doing In your last letter, you asked me about being a guest to a Chinese friend’s home. Now, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details.
To begin with, according to our tradition, you are supposed to arrive early, so that you can help the family prepare the dinner, which is not only meaningful but also interesting. Besides,
you’d better bring some gifts, such as a book or a Chinese knot. What’s more, when you are enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food.
Hopefully, these suggestions would be helpful for you. I have the confidence that you will have a great time. I am looking forward to your good news.
Best wishes!
Yours,
LiHua

12．细节理解题。由第一段recent data showed a dramatic decline in births in China, the world’s most populated country可知，“二胎政策”的发布也没能阻止中国出生人口的下降趋势，A项错误；由第一段Early this May, China reported the slowest population growth since the early 1960s可知，今年五月初，中国报告了自20世纪60年代以来最低的人口增长量，而不是最小的人口数量，B项错误；由第二段To actively respond to the ageing of the population…a couple can have three children可知，中国正面临着人口老龄化的问题，C项正确；由第三段despite scrapping its one-child policy in 2015 to encourage more births and avoid a potential population crisis可知，为促进人口生育，中国在2015年取消了“一孩政策”，而非颁布，D项错误。故选C项。
13．词义猜测题。A. Pursuing执行、贯彻；B. Changing改变；C. Continuing继续；D. Canceling取消。由第三段despite scrapping its one-child policy in 2015 to encourage more births and avoid a potential population crisis可知，在2015年，中国采取了相应的措施以鼓励生育，避免潜在的人口危机，“一孩政策”又称“计划生育政策”，是中国在80年代提出的用以控制人口的基本国策，结合以上两点可知，“一孩政策”与“鼓励生育”是相悖的，应该被取消。故选D项。
14．细节理解题。由第四段可知，2010到2020年间的人口增长速度比2000到2010年间要慢，而不是人口总数少，A项错误；由第五段where many people said they could not afford to have even one or two children可知，面对“三胎政策”，人们普遍反映自己甚至没有能力养活一到两个孩子，无法生育更多胎，B项正确；由第五段As a matter of fact, experiment of the three-child policy in Heilongjiang province in the last few years also resulted less effectively than expected可知，黑龙江省是“三胎政策”试点省份，未提到人口数量问题，C项错误；由第六段可知，亚洲很多国家都面临人口老龄化问题，未提到此问题已得到“成功处理”，D项错误。故选B项。
15．推理判断题。文章第一段开门见山，点明中国为了刺激生育，已发布“三胎政策”，二到四段指出了中国目前低靡的人口增长趋势，第五段阐述了此项政策在社交网络上受到了冷遇，第六段点出人口老龄化并不是中国特有的，韩国和日本等亚洲国家也在努力促进人口增长，第七段引用新华社的报道，指出“三胎政策”中会有一些奖励性的措施去促进人口增长。通读全文可知，本文围绕着“三胎政策”展开话题，探讨了发布此项政策的背景、大家对于此项政策的态度等内容，接下来应该介绍政策的具体内容和相关激励政策了，故选A项。

【解析】
41．考查V-ing。句意：互联网改变了世界，催生出许多教育服务，使得全世界能更好地对抗贫困问题。分析句子可知，此处应用V-ing形式allowing作结果状语。故填allowing。
42．考查构词法。句意：互联网改变了世界，催生出许多教育服务，使得全世界能更好地对抗贫困问题。分析句子可知，此处应用poor的名词形式poverty作介词against后的宾语。故填poverty。
43．考查冠词。句意：那里提供的教育资源很多都与数学相关。分析句子可知，此处应填不定冠词a构成短语a number of…，意为“许多、大量”。故填a。
44．考查构词法。句意：同样，GMAT Pill Review是另一个帮助全世界的MBA参考人准备GMAT考试的公司。分析句子可知，此处应用similar的副词形式similarly作状语修饰后句，句首需大写首字母。故填Similarly。
45．考查动词时态语态。句意：这家公司提供的服务价格比其他同类型产品便宜75%。分析句子可知，which引导限定性定语从句修饰先行词services，从句中缺少谓语；全文讲述的是一般事实，应用一般现在时；price作动词时，意为“给……定价”，为及物动词，应用被动语态；结合上述应用一般现在时的被动语态形式are priced作谓语。故填are priced。

改错：
第一处【答案】go→went
【解析】考查动词时态。句意：上周六，我和朋友们去爬西山。时间发生在过去，应该用go的过去式went。
第二处【答案】第二句的climb→climbing
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：在爬山时，我们享受着灿烂的阳光和漂亮的风景。分析句子可知，we是主语，enjoyed是谓语，while引导的从句中没有主语，所以谓语要用非谓语形式。climb与逻辑主语we与之间是主动关系，用现在分词climbing在句中作状语。
第三处【答案】delighted后接to
【解析】考查动词不定式。句意：我们很高兴，没花太多时间和精力就到达了山顶。be delighted to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“很高兴做某事”。
第四处【答案】Therefore→However
【解析】考查副词。句意：然而，我们发现下山更难。前文reach the top without much time or effort和后文it more difficult to go down是转折关系，且中间有逗号，要用however。

第八处【答案】friend→friends
【解析】考查名词复数。句意：我其中的一位朋友立刻过来并把我背到山脚下。friend是可数名词，one of后跟复数形式friends。
第九处【答案】去掉for
【解析】考查及物动词。句意：同上。reach是及物动词，意为“到达”，后不跟介词。
第十处【答案】proudly→proud
【解析】考查形容词。feel是系动词，后接形容词proud作表语。
Dear Terry,
How are you doing In your last letter, you asked me about being a guest to a Chinese friend’s home. Now, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details.
To begin with, according to our tradition, you are supposed to arrive early, so that you can help the family prepare the dinner, which is not only meaningful but also interesting. Besides,
you’d better bring some gifts, such as a book or a Chinese knot. What’s more, when you are enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food.
Hopefully, these suggestions would be helpful for you. I have the confidence that you will have a great time. I am looking forward to your good news.
Best wishes!

LiHua

A
Although people often say we look alike,they also say that our personalities are completely different from each other.They describe me as intelligent and dependable,but consider him as self-centered.
He is my younger brother, Bob. He was born only 18 months after I was born.We did not get along well with each other. Maybe I was unhappy, even at the age of 18 months, about the new arrival. Another problem was that Bob was often sick. I must have felt cheated out of my parents' attention. I didn't understand why the two people I wanted to be with were always with him. We were fighting all the time.
Then, just over a year ago, doctors thought my brother could have cancer. Suddenly I felt as if the whole world was going black. It was at that point in my life that I realized just how much he meant to me. The day he went into surgery（手术）was one of the most terrible days in my life. When the test result came back negative（阴性），I felt as if the weight of the world had been lifted off my family and my brother.Although Bob has to go every few years for tests just to make sure that he is healthy, right now he is the picture of health.
Now, with me away at college, our relationship has improved greatly. Suddenly, he is more responsible, and is showing it. When I am home on breaks, he treats me with some respect. He even tries to include me in some of his activities with his friends.
Many years ago, I had wished that my baby brother would go away. But now,I will never find another person like him. He has the ability to make me laugh now, instead of upsetting me. I won't give him up for anything.
What might be the most possible reason for their fighting？ ______
A. The author's being self-centered.
B. The two brothers' age difference.
C. Bob's being younger than the author.
D. More of their parents' attention to Bob.
What was the turning point of their relationship？ ______
A. Bob was thought to have a bad disease.
B. Bob began to show respect to the author.
C. The author showed understanding to Bob.
D. The author was away to attend university.
How does the author regard Bob now？ ______
A. As a person who can go away.
B. As a person who must be changed.
C. As a person who will not upset him.
D. As a person who will never be replaced.
B
I enjoy life because I am endlessly interested in people and their growth. My interest leads me to widen my knowledge of people, and this in turn makes me believe in the common goodness of mankind. I believe that the normal human heart is good since their birth. That is, it's born sensitive and feeling eager to be approved and to approve, hungry for simple happiness and the chance to live.
Like Confucius, I am absorbed in the wonder of the earth, and the life on it. With a great faith in the human heart and its power to grow toward the light, I find here are reasons enough for hope and confidence in the future of mankind. The common sense of people will surely prove that mutual（相互的）support and cooperation are only sensible for the security and happiness of all. Such faith keeps me continually ready to do what one person can toward shaping the environment in which the human being can grow with freedom. This environment, I believe, is based upon the necessity for security and friendship.
I take heart in a promising fact that the future world will contain food supplies enough for the entire earth population. Our knowledge of medical science will be sufficient to improve the health of the whole human race. Our resources and education, if administered on a world scale, will lift the intelligence of the race.
Half a century ago, few people thought of world food, health and education. Many are thinking today of these things. Now I find my only questions about this： Are there enough people now who believe？ Is there enough time left for the wise to act？ It is a contest between ignorance and death, or wisdom and life. My faith in humanity stands firm.
What results in the author's belief in people's goodness？ ______
A. His understanding of people.
B. His desire for happiness.
C. His sensitive attitude to life.
D. His kindness to people.
What should people do to build a secure and happy world？ ______
A. Get ready to develop more friendship.
B. Compete with others in everything.
C. Defeat others to get enough freedom.
D. Help and cooperate with each other.
What does the author want to express in paragraph 3？ ______
A. His demand for the present life.
B. His expectation of the future world.
C. His belief in better environment.
D. His hope of human relationships.
What may be the best title of the text？ ______
A. Human Nature Is Good B. Believe in Ourselves
C. Live a Happy Life D. Help People in Need
C
On December 26, 2004, an earthquake along the Indian Ocean caused a huge tsunami that killed thousands of people in Asia and East Africa. However, wildlife officials at Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park reported no mass animal deaths. Yala National Park is home to hundreds of wild animals.
Some researchers believe the animals at the park were able to sense the earthquake and moved to higher ground before the earthquake hit. Animals have good senses that help protect themselves from being hunted by their natural enemies. It is thought that their senses might also help them sense the coming disasters. Several countries have done research on the prediction of earthquakes by animals. There are two theories about how animals may be able to sense earthquakes. One theory is that animals sense the earth’s shake. The other is that they can sense changes in the air. However, so far there has been no strong evidence about how animals may be able to sense earthquakes.
Other researchers are skeptical (怀疑) about using animals for earthquake predictions. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) officially states, “Changes in animal behaviors cannot be used to predict earthquakes. Even though there have been many cases of unusual animal behaviors before earthquakes, a connection between a specific behavior and an earthquake has not been made. Because of their fine senses, animals can often feel the earthquake at its earliest stages before the humans. That’s why people say that the animal knew the earthquake was coming. But animals can also change their behaviors for many other reasons.”
Although scientists disagree on whether animal behaviors can be used to predict earthquakes, they all agree that it is possible for animals to sense changes in the environment before humans. Researchers around the world are continuing to study the connection between animal behaviors and earthquakes. It is hoped that these studies will help to predict earthquakes.
28. What can we know about animals’ senses
A. They are not reliable. B. They can change the environment.
C. They can protect animals in some ways. D. They can prevent animals acting strangely.
29. What does the USGS mean according to the third paragraph
A. Animal behaviors can be used to predict earthquakes.
B. Animal behaviors are closely related to earthquakes.
C. Animals are bound to act strangely before an earthquake.
D. Animals might change their behaviors while being hunted.
30. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to scientists’ study
A. Disappointed. B. Positive. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. Will big earthquakes cause tsunami B. Why does animals change their behaviors
C. Can animals truly predict earthquakes D. How can animals’ senses be put into use
D
China has announced that couples will be permitted to have up to three children in a major policy shift from the existing two-child limit, after recent data showed a dramatic decline in births in China, the world’s most populated country.
“To actively respond to the ageing of the population…a couple can have three children,” state media Xinhua reported on Monday, citing a committee meeting hosted by President Xi Jinping.
Early this May, China reported the slowest population growth since the early 1960s, despite scrapping its one-child policy in 2015 to encourage more births and avoid a potential population crisis.
A once-a-decade survey showed that the overall population of China grew to 1,41178 billion in the 10 years to 2020, up by 5.38%. The increase reflects an average annual rise of 0.53%, down from 0.57% reported from 2000 to 2010.
The announcement drew a chilly response (遇冷) on Chinese social media, where many people said they could not afford to have even one or two children. “I am willing to have three children if you give me 5 million yuan ( 554,350),” one user posted on Weibo. As a matter of fact, experiment of the three-child policy in Heilongjiang province in the last few years also resulted less effectively than expected.
It is not only China that is facing such a population challenge. Across east Asia, governments have, for years, been struggling to persuade couples to have more babies. South Korea and Japan both have used allowance (津贴) to encourage.
The policy change will come with “supportive measures, which will be beneficial to improving our country’s population structure, fulfilling the country’s strategy of actively coping with an ageing population and maintaining the advantage of human resources”, Xinhua said.
32. What can we know about the current population of China
A. China sees a huge increase in births because of the two-child policy.
B. China reported the smallest population since 1960s early this May.
C. China is now faced with the problem that its population is ageing.
D. China has adopted one-child policy in 2015 to reduce overpopulation.
33. What’s the meaning of the underlined word scrapping in the third paragraph
A. Pursuing. B. Changing. C. Continuing. D. Canceling.
34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the fourth to sixth paragraphs
A. China has a smaller population in 2020 than in 2010.
B. Many couples aren’t able to raise more children.
C. Hei Longjiang has the smallest population in China.
D. Korea and Japan manage to cope with ageing population.

Creative thinking plays a big part in how you express yourself. Just like riding a bike or driving a car, creative thinking is a skill that you can improve with careful practice and patience. 16.________

Dear Terry,
How are you doing In your last letter, you asked me about being a guest to a Chinese friend’s home. Now, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details.
To begin with, according to our tradition, you are supposed to arrive early, so that you can help the family prepare the dinner, which is not only meaningful but also interesting. Besides,
you’d better bring some gifts, such as a book or a Chinese knot. What’s more, when you are enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food.
Hopefully, these suggestions would be helpful for you. I have the confidence that you will have a great time. I am looking forward to your good news.
Best wishes!
Yours,
LiHua

9．细节理解题。由第三段Changes in animal behaviors cannot be used to predict earthquakes可知，动物行为的变化并不能用于预测地震，A项错误；由第三段a connection between a specific behavior and an earthquake has not been made可知，动物行为的变化与地震之间没有确凿的联系，B、C项错误；由第三段But animals can also change their behaviors for many other reasons可知，动物会因为很多原因而改变自己的行为，比如被猎杀，D项正确。故选D项。

Doubtful充满怀疑的。由文章最后一段Researchers around the world are continuing to study the connection between animal behaviors and earthquakes及It is hoped that these studies will help to predict earthquakes可知，科学家们在持续研究动物行为与地震之间的关系，作者希望这些研究能帮助更好地预测地震，可见作者是充满希望的。故选B项。

本文是一篇说明文，主题语境为人与社会，主要介绍了中国正在推行三胎政策的相关内容。
12．细节理解题。由第一段recent data showed a dramatic decline in births in China, the world’s most populated country可知，“二胎政策”的发布也没能阻止中国出生人口的下降趋势，A项错误；由第一段Early this May, China reported the slowest population growth since the early 1960s可知，今年五月初，中国报告了自20世纪60年代以来最低的人口增长量，而不是最小的人口数量，B项错误；由第二段To actively respond to the ageing of the population…a couple can have three children可知，中国正面临着人口老龄化的问题，C项正确；由第三段despite scrapping its one-child policy in 2015 to encourage more births and avoid a potential population crisis可知，为促进人口生育，中国在2015年取消了“一孩政策”，而非颁布，D项错误。故选C项。
13．词义猜测题。A. Pursuing执行、贯彻；B. Changing改变；C. Continuing继续；D. Canceling取消。由第三段despite scrapping its one-child policy in 2015 to encourage more births and avoid a potential population crisis可知，在2015年，中国采取了相应的措施以鼓励生育，避免潜在的人口危机，“一孩政策”又称“计划生育政策”，是中国在80年代提出的用以控制人口的基本国策，结合以上两点可知，“一孩政策”与“鼓励生育”是相悖的，应该被取消。故选D项。
14．细节理解题。由第四段可知，2010到2020年间的人口增长速度比2000到2010年间要慢，而不是人口总数少，A项错误；由第五段where many people said they could not afford to have even one or two children可知，面对“三胎政策”，人们普遍反映自己甚至没有能力养活一到两个孩子，无法生育更多胎，B项正确；由第五段As a matter of fact, experiment of the three-child policy in Heilongjiang province in the last few years also resulted less effectively than expected可知，黑龙江省是“三胎政策”试点省份，未提到人口数量问题，C项错误；由第六段可知，亚洲很多国家都面临人口老龄化问题，未提到此问题已得到“成功处理”，D项错误。故选B项。
15．推理判断题。文章第一段开门见山，点明中国为了刺激生育，已发布“三胎政策”，二到四段指出了中国目前低靡的人口增长趋势，第五段阐述了此项政策在社交网络上受到了冷遇，第六段点出人口老龄化并不是中国特有的，韩国和日本等亚洲国家也在努力促进人口增长，第七段引用新华社的报道，指出“三胎政策”中会有一些奖励性的措施去促进人口增长。通读全文可知，本文围绕着“三胎政策”展开话题，探讨了发布此项政策的背景、大家对于此项政策的态度等内容，接下来应该介绍政策的具体内容和相关激励政策了，故选A项。

42．考查构词法。句意：互联网改变了世界，催生出许多教育服务，使得全世界能更好地对抗贫困问题。分析句子可知，此处应用poor的名词形式poverty作介词against后的宾语。故填poverty。
43．考查冠词。句意：那里提供的教育资源很多都与数学相关。分析句子可知，此处应填不定冠词a构成短语a number of…，意为“许多、大量”。故填a。
44．考查构词法。句意：同样，GMAT Pill Review是另一个帮助全世界的MBA参考人准备GMAT考试的公司。分析句子可知，此处应用similar的副词形式similarly作状语修饰后句，句首需大写首字母。故填Similarly。

改错：
第一处【答案】go→went
【解析】考查动词时态。句意：上周六，我和朋友们去爬西山。时间发生在过去，应该用go的过去式went。
第二处【答案】第二句的climb→climbing
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：在爬山时，我们享受着灿烂的阳光和漂亮的风景。分析句子可知，we是主语，enjoyed是谓语，while引导的从句中没有主语，所以谓语要用非谓语形式。climb与逻辑主语we与之间是主动关系，用现在分词climbing在句中作状语。
第三处【答案】delighted后接to
【解析】考查动词不定式。句意：我们很高兴，没花太多时间和精力就到达了山顶。be delighted to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“很高兴做某事”。
第四处【答案】Therefore→However
【解析】考查副词。句意：然而，我们发现下山更难。前文reach the top without much time or effort和后文it more difficult to go down是转折关系，且中间有逗号，要用however。
第五处【答案】but→and
【解析】考查并列连词。句意：所以我们走得很慢，且在必要的时候彼此帮助。went slowly和helped each other是并列关系，用and。
第六处【答案】me→my
【解析】考查形容词性物主代词。句意：尽管我非常小心，不幸的是我滑倒，腿严重受伤。用作形容词性物主代词my修饰leg。
第七处【答案】the→a
【解析】考查固定短语。句意：结果，我几乎站不起来。as a result意为“因此”，是固定短语。
第八处【答案】friend→friends
【解析】考查名词复数。句意：我其中的一位朋友立刻过来并把我背到山脚下。friend是可数名词，one of后跟复数形式friends。
第九处【答案】去掉for
【解析】考查及物动词。句意：同上。reach是及物动词，意为“到达”，后不跟介词。
第十处【答案】proudly→proud
【解析】考查形容词。feel是系动词，后接形容词proud作表语。
Dear Terry,
How are you doing In your last letter, you asked me about being a guest to a Chinese friend’s home. Now, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details.
To begin with, according to our tradition, you are supposed to arrive early, so that you can help the family prepare the dinner, which is not only meaningful but also interesting. Besides,
you’d better bring some gifts, such as a book or a Chinese knot. What’s more, when you are enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food.
Hopefully, these suggestions would be helpful for you. I have the confidence that you will have a great time. I am looking forward to your good news.
Best wishes!
Yours,
LiHua
