三、阅读理解
A
The government in China has ended its one-child policy and let families have two children instead. The change is meant to balance (平衡) population development, stop a falling birth rate (出生率) and strengthen (增加) the country's labor force (劳动力).
China, with the largest population in the world, started the one-child policy in 1980. 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 teacher and population expert, explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy. "Too many young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child," he said. "People in the countryside are more interested. But some of them are already allowed to have two children. "
At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800 million of them have jobs. 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-child policy, an increase in births can solve this problem.
Boys and girls, what do you think of the two-child policy Do you want to have a new-born brother or a sister
21．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.
22．How do most young people in the cities react to the two-child policy
A．They support the policy. B．They don't think it is good.
C．They're very interested. D．They're not interested any more.
23．When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one-child policy continues
A．In 2015. B．In 2035. C．In 2050. D．In 2070
24．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
25．What may happen after we have the "two children" policy

China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.
In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.
There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.
Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams. Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education.
26．China Youth says that more and more ______.
A．boys are clever than girls
B．boys can’t go to school
C．girls have entered colleges
D．girls begin to study at school
27．42.14% refers to(指) the number of ______.

B．girls in colleges in 2001
C．boys at schools in 2001
D．boys in colleges in 1998
28．The writer gave us ______ reasons to explain the question.
A．two B．three C．four D．five
29．What does the underlined word “proportion” mean in Chinese

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.
31．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.
32．What do people not think about when they choose to have a second child
A．Time. B．Food. C．Money. D．Energy.
33．What does the underlined word “overwhelming” mean in the last paragraph

34．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.
35．The main idea of the passage is ________.

C．some parents regretted making the decisions to have only one child.
D．the reasons for parents not to have a second child.

A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years now. It describes skyscrapers that are much taller than today's buildings, underwater "bubble" cities and holidays in space. The report is from a company. It asked experts(专家) on space and architecture as well as city planners to give their ideas on the life in 2116. They said the way we live and work and play will be totally different to how we do these things. The experts used the Internet as an example. They said that 25 years ago people could not imagine how the Internet and smart phones would change our lives. The Internet has completely changed the way we communicate and do daily things. The experts said the changes in the next century would be even more unbelievable.
Researchers questioned 3000 adults about the prediction (预言) they thought were most likely(很可能的) to happen in the future. They predicted that in the future few people will go to an office but will work from home and have work meetings online. People will have highly developed 3-D printers that will let you download (下载) a design for furniture or a food recipe and then "print" the sofa, table or pizza at home. There will also be less need for visits to the doctor. We will all have a home health instrument that will tell us what the problem is and give us treatment. We will also be going into space for holidays and to get resources that we have used on Earth. A prediction that is missing is whether people will still need to study English.

Most new people were born in developing countries. These countries are found in much of Africa, South America and some parts of Asia.

参考答案：
1．B
【详解】句意：大连的人口是多少？

2．C
【详解】句意：不要拿走我的钢笔，我会晚点再用。
考查动词短语辨析。A. take to带去；B. take off脱下；C. take away拿走；D. take after相像。根据下文I will use it later可知，上文是说不要拿走，否定祈使句Don't+动词的原形。根据题意，故选C。
3．A
【详解】句意：对于我们来说努力学习是重要的。It’s+形容词+for /of sb.+to do sth.表示做某事对于某人来说是……；important在这里是修饰动词不定式的，这里介词用for，短语study hard表示努力学习。根据题意，故选A。
【点睛】“It’s + 形容词 + to do sth.”中常用of或for引出不定式的行为者，究竟用of sb.还是用for sb.，取决于前面的形容词。
1) 若形容词是描述不定式行为者的性格、品质的，如kind，good，nice，right，wrong，clever，careless，polite，foolish等，用of sb. 例：
It’s very kind of you to help me. 你能帮我，真好。
It’s clever of you to work out the maths problem. 你真聪明，解出了这道数学题。
2) 若形容词仅仅是描述事物，不是对不定式行为者的品格进行评价，用for sb.，这类形容词有difficult，easy，hard，important，dangerous，（im）possible等。例：
It’s very dangerous for children to cross the busy street.
对孩子们来说，穿过繁忙的街道很危险。
It’s difficult for us to finish the work. 对我们来说，完成这项工作很困难。
for 与of 的辨别方法：
　　用介词后面的代词作主语，用介词前边的形容词作表语，造个句子。如果道理上通顺用of，不通则用for. 如：
You are nice.　(通顺，所以应用of)。
He is hard.　(人是困难的，不通，因此应用for.)
4．B

【点睛】surprised的主语一般是人,宾语是物,表示某人对某事表示惊讶

7．A
【详解】句意：格林太太有一个5岁的女儿，她非常漂亮。
根据数词-名词-形容词 中间有连字符，意思是“……的”，相当于形容词，名词不用复数，five-year-old 5岁的；数词+名词+形容词，中间没有连字符时，当数词超过一时，名词用复数，five years old 5岁；这里可知是形容词修饰名词daughter；故选A。
