“Mainland couples who give birth to a second child in Hong Kong will be fined for breaking the family planning policy.” a senior official has warned. As more women flock to Hong Kong to give birth to their second child, Zhang Feng, family planning department director of Guangdong Province, stressed that this violated China’s policies. “And those who are government employees will even be dismissed from their posts.” he said.

''It doesn't matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland or in other countries and regions; they have violated the country's policies and the province's regulations''.

He said that some families had been punished in the past few months after having a second child in Hong Kong, but gave no details.

Zhang made his remarks when a Hong Kong newspaper carried a controversial notice claiming residents' medical services had been affected by the growing number of mainland women who arrive in the city to give birth and gain right of abode (居住) there.

According to statistics revealed by Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, about 88,000 babies were born in Hong Kong in 2010, but more than 41,000 or 47 percent, were to mainland couples, including a large number from Guangdong.

Hong Kong has limited the number of mainland women permitted to give birth in the city at 34,000 this year.

The issue also has caused calls for an amendment(修正) to Hong Kong's Basic Law so that babies born to mainland women are no longer granted permanent right of abode.

''I support Hong Kong government's decision to reduce or limit the number for mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong.'' Zhang said.

China introduced its family planning policy in 1979 to limit births in the world's most populous nation, although the rules have been relaxed in recent years.

1.Which of the following is true?

A. Zhang Feng is family planning department director of Guangdong Province.

B. Many government employees have been dismissed from their posts.

C. Those who give birth to a second child in Hong Kong will be fined.

D. It doesn’t matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland.

2. What does the word ''violated'' mean in the second paragraph?

A. was obeyed B. went against

C. was for D. was dismissed

3.Zhang Feng said that______.

A. few families had been punished after having a second child in China

B. about 88,000 babies were born in Hong Kong in 2010

C. he agreed to reduce or limit the number for mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong

D. the residents' medical services in Hong Kong had been affected

4.From the passage we can infer______.

A. in 2010 most of the babies born in Hong Kong belonged to mainland couples

B. babies born to mainland women in Hong Kong can't get permanent right of abode now

C. the number of mainland women permitted to give birth in Hong Kong has been reduced

D. the family planning policy in China is as strict as before

5.Which is NOT the reason why some people want to give birth to a second child in Hong Kong?

A. They want to gain right of abode there for their babies.

B. They want to escape being punished for breaking the family planning policy.

C. They want their babies to enjoy the good medical services in Hong Kong.

D. They want to cause calls for an amendment to Hong Kong's Basic Law.

試題分析:本文描述了當(dāng)前的社會現(xiàn)象:為了躲避計(jì)劃生育政策的懲罰,很多大陸的婦女到香港生二胎,F(xiàn)在香港考慮禁止內(nèi)地孕婦到公立醫(yī)院分娩,這項(xiàng)措施會導(dǎo)致香港基本法的修正。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第一段的句子“Zhang Feng,family planning department director of Guangdong Province”可知Zhang Feng是廣東省計(jì)劃生育辦的主任,A 項(xiàng)表述正確;根據(jù)第一段的最后一句“And those who are government employees will even be dismissed from their posts.”可知B項(xiàng)表述不正確;根據(jù)第一段的第一句“Mainland couples who give birth to a second child in Hong Kong will be fined for breaking the family planning policy.”可知C項(xiàng)表述不全面;根據(jù)第二段可知D項(xiàng)表述不對。選A。

2.猜測詞義題。從第二段的句子''It doesn't matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland or in other countries and regions, they have violated the country's policies and the province's regulations''.可知在大陸和其他國家地區(qū)生二胎是違反國家的計(jì)劃生育政策的,violate違反,與go against意思相近,選B。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的句子“I support Hong Kong government's decision to reduce or limit the number for mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong.”可知Zhang Feng贊同香港減少或限制大陸婦女到香港生孩子的數(shù)量,與C項(xiàng)表述相符,選C。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段的內(nèi)容可知A項(xiàng)表述不正確;根據(jù)第七段內(nèi)容可知B項(xiàng)表述不正確;根據(jù)第六段“Hong Kong has limited the number of mainland women permitted to give birth in the city at 34,000 this year.”可知被允許在香港生孩子的大陸婦女的數(shù)量減少了,C項(xiàng)表述正確;根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知D項(xiàng)表述不正確。選C。

5.推理判斷題。通讀全文可知,一些人到香港生二胎,是想讓嬰兒獲得在港的居住權(quán)或享受香港的良好的醫(yī)療服務(wù),或躲避違反計(jì)劃生育政策的懲罰。根據(jù)第七段“The issue also has caused calls for an amendment to Hong Kong's Basic Law so that babies born to mainland women are no longer granted permanent right of abode.”可知到香港生二胎的人不是為了要求修正香港基本法。而這種情況導(dǎo)致了香港基本法的修正,D表述有誤。故選D。

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk a long distance from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had an amazing effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性)as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

1.Why was the bike so important to the couple?

A. The man’s job was bike racing.

B. It was their only possession(財(cái)產(chǎn)).

C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.

D. They used it for work and daily life.

2.We can infer from the text that___________.

A. the couple worked 60 hours a week

B. people were busy before Christmas

C. life was hard for the young family

D. the stranger brought over the bike

3.How did people get to know the couple’s problem?

A. From radio broadcasts B. From a newspaper.

C. From TV news. D. From a stranger.

4.What do the couple learn from their experience?

A. Strangers are usually of little help.

B. One should take care of his bike.

C. News reports make people famous.

D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

Famous centenarians (百歲老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. "Those who stand still, die." is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others."

Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens.

Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation.

Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (膽囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic.

Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role".

Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection." In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She's convinced that humans grow on challenges.

With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers.

1. From the first two paragraphs, we can see ______.

A. being active at 102 is achievable for everybody

B. Oliveira owes his long life to his mother’s help

C. social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior

D. being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character

2. How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage?

A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 7

3. By saying "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?” in paragraph 5, Heesters shows us he ________.

A. wants to sit or lie in comfort

B. is waiting for people to pick him up

C. is willing to work till he dies

D. prefers to give performance at home

4. In the passage so many examples were given to show ________.

A. old age is a big problem if you want tosucceed

B. old age can not prevent a great person from achieving a lot

C. old people should never think of themselves as old

D. as a senior citizen, you have to be open-minded and optimistic

5. In the writer’s opinion, the architect Oscar Niemeyer is not ________.

A. pessimistic B. intelligent

C. positive D. diligent
