三、阅读理解
China would allow all married couples to have as many as three children from May 31st 2021 on. The decision came five and a half years after the country allowed all couples to have two children.
The decision was made at a meeting of the Communist Party of China(中国共产党). The move quickly followed the release of China’s seventh census(人口普查) findings, which showed that the country’s population was growing at its slowest rate since the 1950s. According to the National Bureau of Statistics(统计局), the number of babies born in China fell by 2.65 million to 12 million in 2020.
China is hoping that the policy change will help solve the problem of its falling birth rate and ageing population. Xinhua News Agency said the change would help to improve the structure of the country’s population.
The new policy will come with several supportive measures. Among these measures, China lower educational costs for families, step up tax and housing support and make sure to secure the rights and interests(利益) of working women. It would also look to educate young people “on marriage and love”.
As shown in China’s 14th Five-year Plan, China has come to a time when its ageing problem must be taken seriously at the national level. It is hoped by the government that this change in birth policy will be part of the solution.
26．Why does China allow couples to have three children now
A．Because of its falling birth rate and ageing population.
B．Because of good supportive measures.
C．Because of its good environment.
D．Because of its rapidly growing economy.
27．How many babies were born in China in 2020
A．2.65 million. B．9.35 million. C．12 million. D．14.65 million.
28．The underlined word “secure” in this passage means ________.
A．compare B．hide C．protect D．harm
29．Which supportive measure for Three-child Policy is mentioned in the passage
A．Lowering the costs of education. B．Giving three-child couples free food.
C．Offering good jobs to three-child couples. D．Educating young people on “friendship”.
30．What is the main idea of the passage
A．The seventh census findings are very important for the Three-child Policy.
B．China’s population has been growing very slowly since the 1950s.
C．It is important and necessary to carry out the Three-child Policy.
D．Carrying out the Three-child Policy needs some supportive measures.
