Question

【題目】

Are you the only child in your family? Have you heard of “the two-child policy (政策)”? Everyone knows the one-child policy. It is a population control (控制) method in our country. Chinese government wanted to control the increasing population at that time. Many Chinese couples understood that and followed this policy or nearly 40 years.

However, as time goes by, some problems appear in our society. At present, these problems are mainly about: The number of workers changed from about 960 million in 2010 to 940 million in 2012. The number changed to 930 million in 2014 and will possibly fall by 29 million by 2020. China is now getting into an aging (老齡化) society. There will be more old people in the following years. But the society will be short of doctors and nurses to take care of them. The population of China will become smaller and smaller if one-child policy continues (繼續(xù)). It’s the main reason that leads to the two problems above.

That’s why Chinese government began the two-child policy on January 1st, 2016. It allows each family to have two children. The government hopes it can help solve those social problems gradually (逐漸地). This policy will help offer enough workers in the future. It is reported that there will be around 2.5 million newly-born babies each year.

【解析】

本文介紹了中國的“二胎政策”以及政府開放二胎所要解決的問題。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段最后一句“It’s the main reason that leads to the two problems above.”可知中國政府面臨的是2大問題，所以A正確；由第三段第一句“That’s why Chinese government began the two-child policy on January 1st, 2016.”可知2016年1月1日施行的是二胎政策，不是一胎政策，所以B錯誤；由第二段“The number of workers changed from about 960 million in 2010 to 940 million... fall by 29 million by 2020.”可知2010到2014年工人的數(shù)量都在減少，不是增加，所以C錯誤；由最后一段倒數(shù)第二句“This policy will help offer enough workers in the future.”可知政府認(rèn)為二孩政策能幫助解決社會問題，文章并沒有提到這個政策沒有用，所以D錯誤。故選A。

【2】詞句猜測題。劃線that 指代的是前文中提到的the one-child policy “一孩政策”，當(dāng)時許多的中國夫妻都遵循了這項政策，故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第四句“The number changed to 930 million in 2014 and will possibly fall by 29 million by 2020.”可以推斷，2020年工人數(shù)量將在2014年9.3億的基礎(chǔ)上再減少0.29億，所以2020年工人數(shù)量可能是9.01億，故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。本文主要講中國人口政策變化，從“一孩政策”到現(xiàn)在的“二孩政策”，屬于社會政策問題，可能出現(xiàn)在雜志中的社會歷史板塊，故選B。

【5】觀點態(tài)度題。在文章最后“It is reported that there will be around 2.5 million newly-born babies each year.”作者給出了一個每年新增嬰兒數(shù)量，這是因為作者期待二孩政策能起作用，所以他對新政策的態(tài)度應(yīng)該是認(rèn)為新政策十分important “重要的”，故選D。
