ttotalbirthrate--theaveragenumberofchildrenthatwouldbeborntoawomanoverherlifetime--is1.3,wellbelowthe“replacementlevel”of2.1kidsperwoman,whichisbroadlyacceptedastherateneededtoensureastablepopulation.”（日本是世界上人口老龄化速度最快的后工业化国家。目前的总出生率——一名妇女一生中生育的孩子的平均数量——为1.3，远低于每名妇女生育2.1个孩子的“更替水平”，这一水平被广泛接受为确保人口稳定所需的水平。）根据第三段“AperiodicsurveybytheNationalInstituteofPopulationandSocialSecurityResearchfoundclosetoafifthofmenandabout15%ofwomenexpressingdisinterestinmarriage.AlmostathirdofmenandafifthofwomenintheirfiftiesinJapanhaveneverbeenmarried.”（美国国家人口与社会安全研究所(NationalInstituteofPopulationandSocialSecurityResearch)的一项定期调查发现，近五分之一的男性和约15%的女性表示对婚姻不感兴趣。在日本，近三分之一的50多岁男性和五分之一的女性从未结过婚。）可知，日本老龄化严重，生育率低，人口结构不平衡。故选B项。【10题详析】推理判断题。根据第六段第二句“It’snotaproblemofmatchmaking.It’sanissueofmoremenwithunstableincomes.”（这不是做媒的问题。这是一个关乎收入不稳定的男性越来越多的问题。）可知，MasahiroYamada认为人们不想结婚不是因为找不到伴侣，而是因为收入问题，故他认为婚介服务并不能从根本上解决问题。故选B项。【11题详析】主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“InJapan’snortheastMiyagicounty,residentscanfindlifepartnersviaagovernment-sponsored,ArtificialIntelligence-drivenmatchmakingservice.”（在日本东北部的宫城县，居民可以通过政府资助、人工智能驱动的婚介服务找到生活伴侣。）说明日本引进婚介服务旨在促使年轻人结婚生子，并结合下文二三段对日本人口情况的介绍，及后文专家对于解决出生率低的问题的探讨可知，本文主要针对日本能否提高出生率的问题进行了讨论。故选A项。DGracingeverycontinentoftheEarth,wetlandsareessentialtotheplanet’shealth,oftencomparedtoitsvitalorgans，actingasarteries(动脉)thatcarrywaterandaskidneys(肾脏)thatfilter(过滤)harmfulsubstances.Wetlandsserveasprotectors:theyformprotectivebarriersagainsttsunamisandabsorbtheexcessrainfall.Duringthedryseasonindryclimates,wetlandsreleasethestoredwaterwhichhelpsdelaytheattackofdroughtandreducewatershortages.Theyalsostorevastquantitiesofcarbon,helpingeaseclimatechange.Hometosomeofthemostdiverseandrichecosystems,wetlandssupportonebillionpeople.40percentofallplantandanimalspeciesliveorbreedinwetlands.WorldWetlandsDayisobservedeachyearon2Februarytoincreasepeople’sunderstandingoftheimportanceofwetlandsandraiseawarenessoftheurgentneedtoprotectthethreatenednaturaltreasure.“Weareproudtojoininthiscelebrationandrecognizetheuniqueandvaluableecosystemservicesprovidedbywetlands.Wearecommittedtodoingourparttoconserveandprotectwetlands,andwearecallingonallofyoutojoinusinthisvitalcause,”saidUNCCD(TheUnitedNationsConventiontoCombatDesertification)ExecutiveSecretaryIbrahimThaw.Todate,nearly90percentoftheworld’swetlandshavebeendegradedorlost,with35percentinthelast5Oyearsalone.ThatiswhyonthisWorldWetlandsDay,UNCCDisjoiningtheRamsarConventiononWetlandsandotherpartnerstohighlighttheexamplesofcountriesandcommunitiesmakingstridesinwetlandrestoration.AsstressedbytheUNCCDExecutiveSecretaryIbrahimThiaw,successfulwetlandrestorationrequiresajointeffortfromgovernments,civilsocietyandtheprivatesector.Investmentsinsciencefortechnologyinnovation,infrastructureforeffectivemanagementandfinancialmechanismsforprojectimplementation(实施)canturnthetidetowardabetterfutureforwetlands.12.Whyarewetlandsessentialtous?A.Theyhelpfightagainstviruses.B.Theyoffercleandrinkingwater.C.Theymaintainecologicalbalance.D.Theypreventthenaturaldisasters.13.Howdoestheauthorpresentthecurrentsituationofwetlandsinparagraph5?A.Bygivingexamples.B.Bylistingfigures.C.Bymakingcomparisons.D.Byanalyzingcauses.14.Whatdotheunderlinedwords“turnthetide”meaninparagraph6?A.Followthetrend.

们多么希望有第二次机会”切题。故选C项。第二部分语言知识运用(共三节，满分35分)第一节完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。WhenIwas16，Iwantedtobuyanalbum(专辑)frommyfavoriteband,butIcould____21____payforit.Myparentswerenotthetypeofpeopletogivemoneytome____22____,orevenforworkdoneathome.Thisledmetosearchforworkopportunitiesinmyneighborhood,andIwas____23____toMrs.Hudson,theoldestpersoninthecommunity.Atovereightyyearsold,Mrs.Hudsoncouldnolonger____24____hergarden,andIofferedtohelpherout.Myfirstjobwasto____25____weedsinherfrontyardandbackyard.Afterthis____26____task,Imowed(修剪)herlawn．Withthe＄10earnedfrommyfirstdayofwork，Iboughtthat____27____．Listeningtomusic,Ifeltacool____28____runningthroughmyheart,whichmademerealizealltheeffortsIhadmadewereworthwhile.However,mydesireformaterialpossessionsdidnotendthere.Ilatersetmy____29____onaGameboy,whichwasveryfashionableatthetime.Istartedtoworkformultipleclients,inordertoearnenoughmoneytopurchasethis____30____possession.Aftermanydaysofworking,I____31____enoughmoney.Butjustafteronedayofplayingonit,IrealizedthatitwasnotasfunasIhadthought.I____32____inthehotsunforhoursdoingyardworktobuysomethingIdidnot____33____．Sothenextday，Ireturneditforafullrefund(退款)．Eversincethatday,Ihavecometo____34____thevalueofmoney,realizingthatthesweatanddedicationthat____35____earningitaretrulyinvaluableassetsthatcannotbetakenawayfromus.21.A.slightly
