What difference has it made, statistically speaking?‎ ‎400 million births prevented The one-child policy, officially in place since 1979, has prevented 400 million births. Parents have faced fines and other punishments for having more children.‎ The majority of the decrease in China’s fertility rate(生育率) happened in the 1970s. It dropped from 5. 8 children per woman in 1970 to 2. 7 in 1978. Despite the one-child policy the rate had only fallen to 1. 7 by 2013.‎ ‎21:28 baby death rate Since the one-child policy was introduced, baby girls have become more likely to die than boys.‎ In the 1970s, according to the United Nations, 60 baby boys per 1, 000 live births died under the age of one. For girls the figure was 53. In the 1980s, after the one-child ‎ policy became official, the rate for both was 36. By the 1990s, 26 boys per 1,000 live births died before the age of one and 33 girls. The 2000s saw 21 boys per 1,000 live births dying and 28 girls.‎ ‎1.16 boys born for every girl Sexually selective abortions have been considered as a major cause of China’s unusual sexual imbalance.‎ Gietel-Basten, associate professor in social policy at Oxford University, says the births of many girls are not registered if parents have broken the rule by having two children, adding officials often turn a blind eye. It’s estimated there are now 33 million more men than women in China.‎ ‎4: 2: 1 families With the ageing of China’s population and the continuation of the one-child policy, a “4: 2: 1” home is the description given to households in which there are four grandparents cared for by two working age parents, who themselves have one child.‎ By 2050, it’s predicted that a quarter of China’s population will be 65 or older. The predicted decrease in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuaded the government to drop the one-child policy.‎ ‎21. When was the baby death rate for both boys and girls equal?‎ A. In the 1970s. B. In the 1980s. C. In the 1990s. D. In the 2000s.‎ ‎22. What makes the one-child policy abolished according to the passage?‎ A. The decrease of birth rate.‎ B. The rise of baby death rate.‎ C. The change of family structure.‎ D. The decrease of working age people.‎ ‎23. What effects has the one-child policy had?‎ ‎ A. About 400 million girl births have been prevented.‎ ‎ B. More baby girls have been born.‎ ‎ C. There are many more men than women in China now.‎ ‎ D. There is a rise in the baby boy deaths.‎ B An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow(乌鸦)landed on their window. The father asked his son, "What is that?" The son replied, "That is a crow." After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is that?" The son said, "Father, I told you just now. It's a crow." After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, "What is that?" This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, "It's a crow, a crow." ‎ After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, "What is that?" This time his son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?" ‎ A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. ‎ ‎"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn't at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son. ‎ ‎ If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will take care of my old parents in the BEST way no matter how they behave." ‎ ‎24. The writer mainly intends to ______. ‎ A. tell us the function of a diary B. call on us to love our parents C. teach us what a crow is D. introduce a pair of son and father ‎25. The underlined word "affection" probably means______. ‎ A. puzzle B. happiness C. worry D. love ‎26. We can infer that the father wrote that piece of diary at the age of ______. ‎ A. eighty B. thirty-five C. thirty-eight D. forty-five ‎27. Why did the father ask his son questions about the crow?‎ A. Because he wanted to test his son’s patience. ‎ B. Because he had difficulty in hearing. ‎ C. Because he didn’t want to be treated as a burden.‎ D. Because he tried to remind his son of what he did in the past .‎ C Argentina(阿根廷)lies in the South America. There are many festivals in Argentina during the year. Therefore, you can enjoy the different interesting festivals when traveling there. First of all, we should talk about the Tango(探戈舞)Festival in Argentina, which is held in the capital of this country—Buenos Aires, from February to March. You ought to know that Argentina is the home of tango, so Argentineans admire this dance very much. Even if you cannot dance perfectly, you should join the people and try to perform this dance.‎ The next festival in Argentina is Open Polo(马球)Tournament.

This kind of sport is considered the most important in Argentina. Attending this festival in Argentina, you will be able to communicate with different people, admire the fascinating competition between the teams of different countries, such as Argentina, England, Australia, as well as the US. This festival in Argentina is usually held between November and December every year. So don't miss the opportunity if you travel to Argentina at this time.‎ The other festival in Argentina is the Semana Musical Llao Llao. This is a festival of classical music. The festival was created in 1993 and is held at the Llao Llao Hotel, near Bariloche. The festival is held yearly in October. So if you admire this kind of music, you should travel to Argentina in October. There are also many carnivals in October.‎ There are also many carnivals in Argentina in summer.

What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Travel to Argentina B. Sports in Argentina C. Festivals in Argentina D. A brief introduction to Argentina D In different countries around the world, people become ‘adults’ at different ages. Being an adult means having the right to do certain things such as getting a part-time job, voting, getting married, or getting a license to drive. It also means accepting the responsibilities that go along with these rights.‎ In many countries, sixteen or eighteen is the age at which a person becomes an adult. Young men and women at this age can get a part-time job, and begin to receive an income of their own. They no longer have to rely on their parents for money all the time. In many parts of North America, sixteen is also the age when one can get a driver’s license; in England, it is seventeen.‎ There are responsibilities that go along with both of these rights. Getting a part-time job means that you have to pay income tax(税). Driving a car demands that you follow certain rules such as paying for insurance to drive.‎ Voting is another right that means becoming adults for many young people. In the United States, Canada, and the U.K., young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen. ‎ A group of teenagers in Alberta, Canada, want the Canadian voting laws changed. They think that people should be able to vote at the age of sixteen. They argue that if teenagers at sixteen are old enough to get a part-time job, pay taxes, and drive, they are also old enough to vote in elections(选举).‎ ‎32. If you want to get a driver’s license, you must reach seventeen in _________.‎ ‎ A. North America B. Canada C. England D. China ‎33. When you get a part-time job, you must accept the responsibility _________.‎ ‎ A. to pay income tax B. to get married ‎ ‎ C. to pay for insurance to drive D. to vote wisely ‎ ‎34. In Alberta, some teenagers think people should be able to vote at the age of _______.‎ ‎ A. sixteen B. seventeen C. eighteen D. nineteen ‎ ‎35. What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. When young people should have children.‎ ‎ B. When young people have certain adult rights.‎ ‎ C. When young people have to work to earn money.‎ ‎ D. How old young people must be in order to vote.‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从其后所给的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项是多余的选项。‎ I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收银台) in her grocery store. 36 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”‎ At first I was paid in candy. 37 I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 38___ ‎ By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妆品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup(化妆) ideas. 39___ ‎ The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. 40 Expect they are no longer women buying cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.‎ A.
