That is far above the global average of about 20 percent.At the end of 2013, a major policy change allowed couples nationwide to have a second baby if either parent is an only child. Initial estimates suggested two million more babies would be born annually as a result of the change.However, the actual increase last year was only half a million. Because many parents say they couldnt afford a second baby.“The lifestyle and viewpoints of the post-80s generation are totally different from the 50s and 60s generations,” Li said. “Many Chinese want to give birth to fewer but healthier children.”Yuan Tian, a 25-year-old photographer in Shanghai, has a 1-year-old daughter. And one, she says, is enough - due both to the cost of raising a child and to the challenges a child poses to developing a career.“Giving birth really affected my career.” she said. “When I returned to work, it took me several months to catch up with my colleagues again. And I cant focus on my work, since I need to leave the office early to take care of my daughter.”And this doesnt necessarily mean most parents are against the loosening of the second child policy. We all know that it would be better if the government would assess whether the current number of hospitals, schools and other facilities could meet future demand before making the decision.25. Why the two-child policy should be carried out from the passage?A. The number of population is increasing.C. The population is aging.B. Each family just have one child.D. The rate of dying is higher than before.26. Which is NOT the reason why the post-80s generation dont want to have one more child?A. The cost of bringing up a child is so high.B. They think that they should give birth to fewer but healthier children.C. They cannot concentrate on their work and life.D. The policy is not good enough for them.27. What is the authors attitude to the second children policy?A. NeutralC. NegativeB. SupportiveD. Doubtful CFor the first time in four years, the price of oil has been going down steadily. At the moment, it is down to $60 to $80 per barrel(桶) after years of prices above$100.One of the reasons for the fall of oil prices is that there is more than enough oil on the world markets so that Saudi Arabia, the worlds largest oil producer has tried to stabilize the prices by producing less oil. But other countries have reacted by producing more oil.Another reason for the cut in oil prices is that the United States has been producing more and more energy from fracking (水力压裂去油法). The oil that is in the rocks of the western US can be got out at a cheaper price. This means that the US can produce more oil itself anddoes not have to import oil from foreign markets.The decrease in oil prices is expected to help the worlds economy. Especially in Europe, the downward movement is expected to be good for the economy. China and Japan should also profit from falling oil prices, and they must import almost all of their oil. In most cases low oil prices mean lower inflation and people spending more money on goods. Cheap oil prices may also influence the travel market as airline fuel costs should drop.Some oil exporting countries are the big losers of this constant falling of oil prices. Most of them, for example Venezuela, need higher oil prices to pay for government programs and secure the economy. Russia also needs income from oil and gas. The two natural resources bring the country 70% of its income. In addition to the falling value of the Rouble, the Russian currency, the country also missed over 2 billion dollars of income per year.28. It can be inferred that Saudi Arabia believes that.A. the falling of oil prices is mainly caused by the United StatesB. reducing the oil production can stop the falling of oil pricesC. other countries are ready to work together to stabilize the oil pricesD. the oil prices will go up gradually in the near future29. Which of the following is NOT the result of fracking?A. The US produces more oil.B. The US exports more oil.C. The oil prices constantly fall.D. The US gets oil at low costs.30. The underlined part “downward movement” in paragraph 4 refers to.A. the falling of oil importingB. the falling of the worlds oil productionC. the falling of the oil pricesD. the falling of the worlds economy31. In which section of a newspaper can we most probably read the passage?A. BusinessB. TechnologyC. SocietyD. PoliticsDBarnard Environmental Studies Magnet School in New Haven, Connecticut is known as a “green” school, which attracts 325 pre-school to sixth-grade students from all over the region who are interested in environmental studies. Everything in the building is designed with the environment in mind. The lights go off when people leave the room, and special windows provide “passive light”, cutting down on the need for electric lighting. When a window is open, the air-conditioning automatically turns off.Saving energy is not all that students do to help the environment. While learning about the dying salmon( 鲑鱼) population in the Connecticut rivers, students also do something to help out-they raise salmon in fish tanks in the classrooms, then let the adult salmon go intoConnecticut rivers.Composting( 制 成 绿 肥 ) is another part of taking care of the environment at Barnard. Students throw the remaining food into a composting bin in a greenhouse. The resulting compost, or fertile soil, is used to help grow plants.At Barnard, almost everything has to do with the environment. Students sing songs about the environment; their artwork has to do the environment; even their math classes are focused on protecting the environment.“When I grow up I want to be a scientist, because I want to study all different kinds of animals and see how they live.” said 10-year-old Crystal.Another student, Troi, 11, has similar ambitions. “ When I grow up I want to be a researcher, like a person who discovers different kinds of plants and animals, sort of like that.” he said.Barnard offers opportunities that students wouldnt get in a regular school. The schools goal is to teach kids to be good environmental role models. They also learn a different way to live life. To attend the school, students have to apply and express their interest in protecting the environment. “Students come here because they care about the environment,” said Drucher, a teacher at the school.32. Barnard Environmental Studies Magnet School can save energy because.A. its buildings are designed to reduce energy useB. its students turn off lights when they leave classroomsC. its buildings are mostly powered by solar energyD. its students seldom turn on the air-conditioning33. Students at Barnard raise salmon in the classrooms in order to.A. learn science and biology betterC. stop pollution in Connecticut rivers34. How is the remaining food dealt with at Barnard?A. It is used to feed animals.C. It is used as fertilizers.B. learn to protect the environmentD. protect salmon from being killedB. It is burnt in a greenhouse.D. It is buried around plants.35. From what Crystal and Troi said, we can know that.A. All students at Barnard take great interest in biologyB. All students at Barnard have similar dreamsC. Everything has to do with the environment at BarnardD. Barnard has a positive influence on its students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。选项中有两项为 多余选项。Different CulturesThe cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 36 The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers - the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 37 When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain( 美 索 不 达 米 亚 平 原 )-the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece andAncient Rome. 38 Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled sown in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesnt distinguish from the European culture a lot. 39 Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic(象形文字的) language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference count as well. But whats more, due to the fardistance and the steep areas between the East and the West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost nointerference(干预)from the other.The differences are everywhere. 40 But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.A. Let us work together to keep a variety of cultures.B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.C. And these two are well-known as the base of the European.D. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.E. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.F. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.G. They are obvious and affect peoples ways of thinking and their views of the world.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 15 分，满分 30 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。It has often been said that a persons life is the sum total of their experience. That seems like a simple 41, but if one accepts this, then why do so many of us engage in practices and activities which are negative and actually 42us ? 43 the family of four who decided to each clean a different area.They each took a sponge(海绵), did the 44 , and then placed them back in the kitchen.A visitor came along who was 45 to what was cleaned in the home, but couldnt tell by 46 since the sponges all looked the same. So ,in order to 47 his curiosity, he decided to squeeze each sponge to see what came out.When the first sponge was squeezed, some cola came out, so the visitor 48 someone cleaned the kitchen with that one. Upon squeezing the second, he found motor oil, so 49 , someone was cleaning the garage. In the third, baby powder came out when it was squeezed,which 50 that the babys nursery was done. And 51 ,in the last one was wax(蜡),whichwas 52 on the floor.As the visitor laid the last sponge down, he again remarked on their similarity. They all looked the same 53 they were squeezed.The 54 we learned here is that as individuals we are not different from a sponge. We can only squeeze out what is 55 . As babies, we are born into this world 56 . We are like a new sponge. As we go through 57 , our “sponge” is filled with things we 58 through experiences.If we look for the good in others and 59 to keep a positive attitude around, then as life squeezes us we will have a better chance of copying. If we are constantly finding 60 with others and look for excuses for our behavior, when life squeezes us we may not like what comes out.41. A. exampleB. statementC. taskD. explanation42.
