The plan was announced on Thursday after highlevel political meetings in Beijing. A Chinese Communist Party statement gave a number of reasons for the change in policy. The statement said the change is meant to balance population development, stop a falling birth rate(出生率) and strengthen the countrys labor force(劳动力). China, with the largest population in the world, started the onechild 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? 24. 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. 25. How do most young people in the cities react to the two-child policy?A. They dont support the policy. B. They dont think it is good. C. Theyre very interested. D. Theyre not interested any more. 26. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the two-child policy?A. To ease the present labor shortage. B. To balance population development.C. To strengthen the countrys work force. D. To stop a declining(下降) birth rate.27. The Two-Children Policy mainly _. A. helps solve the problems of aging population and labor shortages. B. doesnt allow one couple to have two children. C. has a bad influence on ones mental health. D. encourages one couple to have more than two children.CYou have probably heard of the Mozart effect. Its the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age is there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozarts music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, well become more intelligent.The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozarts music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.Ill leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesnt make us more intelligent.28. What can we learn from paragraph 1?A. Mozart composed (作曲) many musical pieces for children.B. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.C. There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.D. There are few products on the Internet about Mozarts music.29. The underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggests that _.A. people were strongly against the ideaB. Mozart played an important part in peoples lifeC. the idea was accepted by many peopleD. the US government helped promote the idea30. What is the authors attitude towards the Mozart effect?A. Favorable. B. Objective (客观的). C. Positive. D. Doubtful.31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. To be or not to be? B. What music is beneficial?C. What is the Mozart effect? D. Listening to Mozart, necessary?DToday there are 6.4 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. There are many people to feed. We need more and more food.One way to produce more food is growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic (遗传的) material. Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified (转基因的) foods, or GM foods.By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. Scientists make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases; a kind of rice will be grown, for example, which stops people becoming blind.Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But both rich and poor countries are interested in their uses, and they are not going to go away. In 2050, we may think differently about them.32. How have scientists been able to change plants more quickly? A. By making the best plants. B. By asking the farmers to grow plants. C. By changing planting environment. D. By changing their genetic material.33. Why do rich countries produce GM foods? A. Because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. B. Because they are easy to grow and very cheap.C. Because they help produce more food. D. Because they are the best plants.34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. GM plants are not natural. B. GM plants are strong against plant diseases. C. Everyone knows how good or bad GM plants are. D. GM foods may hurt people or their children later.35. What can we learn from the passage? A. GM foods will go away one day in the future. B. GM foods will not go away in the future.C. People will not be interested in GM foods. D. People will have to stop eating GM foods.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多途选项。Are you new to experiencing relationships?
