What difference has it made, statistically speaking?‎ ‎400 million births prevented The one-child policy, officially in place since 1979, has prevented 400 million births. Parents have faced fines and other punishments for having more children.‎ The majority of the decrease in China’s fertility(生育)rate happened in the 1970s. It dropped from 5. 8 children per woman in 1970 to 2. ‎7 in 1978. Despite the one-child policy the rate had only fallen to 1. 7 by 2013.‎ ‎21:28 baby death rate Since the one-child policy was introduced, baby girls have become more likely to die than boys.‎ In the 1970s, according to the United Nations, 60 males per 1, 000 live births died under the age of one. For girls the figure was 53. In the 1980s, after the one-child policy became official, the rate for both was 36. By the 1990s, 26 males per 1,000 live births died before the age of one — and 33 girls. The 2000s saw 21 boys per 1,000 live births dying and 28 girls.‎ ‎1.16 boys born for every girl Sexually selective abortions have been considered as a major cause of China’s unusual sexual imbalance.‎ Gietel-Basten, associate professor in social policy at Oxford‎ ‎University, says the births of many girls are not registered if parents have broken the rule by having two children, adding officials often turn a blind eye. It’s estimated there are now 33 million more men than women in China.‎ ‎4: 2: 1 families With the ageing of China’s population and the continuation of the one-child policy, a “4: 2: ‎1”‎ home is the description given to households in which there are four grandparents cared for by two working age parents, who themselves have one child.‎ By 2050, it’s predicted that a quarter of China’s population will be 65 or older. The predicted decline in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuaded the government to drop the one-child policy.‎ ‎21. When was the baby death rate for both boys and girls equal?‎ A. In the 1970s. B. In the 1980s.‎ C. In the 1990s. D. In the 2000s.‎ ‎22. What makes the one-child policy abolished according to the passage?‎ A. The decline of birth rate.‎ B. The rise of baby death rate.‎ C. The change of family structure.‎ D. The decline of working age people.‎ ‎23. The passage sums up the one-child policy by _______.‎ A. number B. example C. contrast D. analysis B Phone Soap: Charge and Clean Your Phone You may charge your phone every day, but do you clean your phone as much? Whatever your hands touch, your phones touch. It has been discovered that some phones have 18 times more bacteria and viruses than any surface in a public restroom. So it probably won’t surprise you that a 2011 University‎ of ‎London study found that one in six of our phones have bacteria and viruses on them—specifically, the bacteria called E. coli.‎ The research on bacteria and virusesled to the invention of PhoneSoap. It is not actually liquid like dishwasher soap. It is a phone charger that uses the electromagnetic radiation (辐射) used in hospitals to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, cleaning your phone while it charges.‎ ‎“There are really certain types of bacteria and viruses that we should not be in touch with, and they are really on our phones,” says Wes Barnes, the PhoneSoap co-founder. It all started while his cousin and co-founder, Dan LaPorte, was in his cancer research lab at college. “He realized he got the idea of getting rid of bacteria and viruses on the phones,” said Barnes. “In the lab they used UV-C light for destroying them. He realized this would be the fastest, most powerful way to kill any bacteria and viruses living on electronic machines.” ‎ PhoneSoap looks like a little metal suitcase. Your phone rests in to charge and get cleaned at the same time. Instead of plugging your phone into the wall, you’d plug it into the PhoneSoap charger box. The process only takes a few minutes but, Barnes says, “The idea is that you can leave it in there overnight if you want to keep charging. Reflective paint keeps the light completely around the phone so it cleans the phone fully.”‎ The co-founders spent 2013 finding the right companies and they started shipping the product in late November. By last week’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, PhoneSoap was all grown-up. Both co-founders have left their previous jobs and are selling PhoneSoap nonstop. “We’re shipping almost more than we can handle each day,” Barnes says. “It’s been a great adventure.”‎ ‎24. We can learn from the first paragraph that ______.‎ A. phones can be very dirty B. phones are where bacteria are born C. most phones are attacked by bacteria D. phones store more bacteria in a restroom ‎25. According to the passage, PhoneSoap ______.‎ A.takes a whole night to kill bacteria B. deals with bacteria with radiation C. is a kind of liquid like dishwasher soap D. has to be plugged into the wall to work ‎26. From what Barnes said in the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.‎ A. PhoneSoap is in great demand now B. PhoneSoap is really hard to handle ‎ C. they can’t produce enough PhoneSoap D. they’ll make improvements to ‎ PhoneSoap ‎27. What’s the passage mainly about?‎ A. Methods of cleaning phones. B. Tips on charging phones quickly.‎ C. Soap killing harmful bacteria on phones. D. A phone charger keeping your phone clean.‎ C ‎ For better eyesight, doctors advise limiting the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time. However, another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only environmental cause for nearsightedness. An Australian research team compared the prevalence(流行)of and reasons for myopia （近视）among young children of Chinese origin in Sydney and Singapore. The study concluded that the prevalence of nearsightedness among children in Sydney was lower than children in Singapore, even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens. The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor activities than those in Singapore. Indoor and outdoor sports activities both make the eyes focus on more distant objects, which prevents the eyes from changing shape. But outdoor activities may better help avoid myopia than indoor sports activities. Jane Gwiazda, a psychologist from New England College of Optometry in Boston‎, ‎US, who does research in sight problems, says: “Natural light is good for eye growth. And extra vitamin D from the sun might contribute to eye growth.” Many doctors suggest that every child get its first eye test done when he/she is about two and half years old, and even if his/her sight seems perfect. It is necessary for myopic children to wear glasses to prevent headaches, trouble reading or injuries. It is also important that schools invite doctors to test their students’ eyes. If that is not possible, school teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examinations and wear glasses. And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children, but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors.‎ ‎28. What’s the aim of the study by the Australian research team? ‎ A. To find the reasons for nearsightedness. B. To find the ways to treat nearsightedness. ‎ C. To prove the bad effects of nearsightedness.D. To prove the prevalence of nearsightedness.‎ ‎29. Why are there fewer children with near-sighted in Sydney than in Singapore? ‎ A. Because Sydney children watch less TV. ‎ B. Because Sydney children read fewer books.‎ C. Because Sydney children use computers less.‎ D. Because Sydney children do more outdoor sports.‎ ‎30. What conclusion can we draw from the passage? ‎ A. Sydney children don’t study hard. B. Singapore children don’t like sports. ‎ C. Indoor sports activities do little good to eyes.D. Natural light is better for eyes than room light.‎ ‎31. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ‎ A. Children should have regular eye tests. ‎ B. Children’s screen time should be limited. ‎ C. Children needn’t wear glasses when their myopia isn’t serious. ‎ D. Both schools and parents should take care of children’s eyes.‎ D There are two main things that make aircraft engineering difficult: the need to make every component as reliable as possible and the need to build everything as light as possible. The fact that an airplane is up in the air and can't stop if anything goes wrong, makes it perhaps a matter of life or death that its performance is completely dependable.‎ Given a certain power of engine, and consequently a certain fuel consumption, there is a practical limit to the total weight of aircraft that can be made to fly. Out of that weight as much as possible is wanted for fuel, radio navigational instruments, passenger seats, or freight room, and of course, the passengers or freight themselves. So the structure of the aircraft has to be as small and light as safety and efficiency will allow. The designer must calculate the normal load that each part will bear. This specialist is called the "stress man." He takes notice of any unusual stress that may be put on the part as a precaution（预防措施） against errors in manufacture, accidental damage etc.‎ The stress man's calculations go to the designer of the part, and he must make it as strong as the stress man says is necessary. One or two small parts are always tested to prove that they are as strong as the designer intended. Each separate part is tested, then a whole assembly—for example, a complete wing, and finally the whole aeroplane. When a new type of aeroplane is being made, normally only one of the first three made will be flown. Two will be destroyed on the ground in strict tests. The third one will be tested in the air.‎ When a plane has passed all the tests it can get a government certificate of airworthiness, without which it is illegal to fly, except for test flying.‎ Making the working parts reliable is as difficult as making the structure strong enough. The flying controls, the electronic equipment, the fire precautions, etc. must not only be light in weight, but must work both at high altitudes where the temperature may be below freezing point and in the hot air of an airfield in the tropics.‎ To solve all these problems the aircraft industry has a large number of research workers, with elaborate laboratories and test houses, and new materials to give the best strength in relation to weight are constantly being tested.‎ ‎32. The two main requirements of aircraft design are ____.‎ A. Speed and cost B. Reliability and passenger comfort C. Lightness and dependability D. Ability to stay up in the air and reliability ‎33. The maximum possible weight of an aircraft is determined by ______.‎ A. The engine power B. the amount of freight room C. The number of passengers D. international regulations ‎34. The first three aeroplanes of a new type _____.‎ A. are only for show B. are all destroyed C. are later broken up for square parts D. are used for testing purposes ‎35. All equipment in an aircraft must _____.‎ A. be tested to destruction ‎ B. not be too light in weight C. work especially well at high temperatures D. work perfectly within a wide range of temperatures 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。‎ How to Win a High School Election If you plan on running for student office, you want to know how to win a high school election. _36_ You need to consider the following key elements (要素) of an election.‎ ‎■ Learn about your school.‎ Before you can be an official for your class, you will need to know about your class and the ‎ school as a whole. You can’t make a difference if you don’t know what to change. _37_‎ ‎■ Get involved (参与) before winning the election.‎ If you want to make changes to some of the rules in the school’s policy, you’ll have to get official support of the school. Ask to join in on meetings with school officials. It’s also a good idea to get to know some of the parents of the students who will vote for you. You can do this by attending PTA meetings. _38_ Ask questions and voice your opinion so you stand out.‎ ‎■ Get to know your voters.‎ ‎_39_ And try to make good first impressions on them. Be careful though, you don’t want to seem fake (假装的) because then people won’t vote for you. Simply say hello and let people know you are running for whatever office you choose. If they seem interested in you, continue the conversation; if not, back off. Being pushy is another thing that will lose you votes.‎ ‎■ _40_‎ Just as confidence is very important during your presentation, it also plays an important role every day. Stand up straight, smile, and be friendly. Have fun with your election because students want someone who is real and friendly.‎ A. Let yourself shine.‎ B. Meet as many high school students as possible.‎ C. While at these meetings, don’t be a passive attendee.‎ D. Get started on how to win a high school election.‎ E. Write a speech about what you would like to see changed.‎ F. Read the student guidebook about the history as well as present rules for the school.‎ G. Putting up posters and relying on your popularity isn’t enough to make sure that you will win.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。‎ I played a racquetball game against my cousin Ed last week.

He thinks that young people nowadays are not being well taught and that they do not know the importance of the difference between right and wrong.‎ One day he was taking a walk in the park near his home when he saw some young boys ‎ standing around a small cat. The old gentleman went up to the boys and asked them what was happening. One of the boys said to him, “We’re telling lies. We’re having a contest to see who does well in telling lies. We decide the one who tells the biggest lie will keep this animal.”‎ The old gentleman thought that this was a good chance to teach the boys a useful lesson, so he said to them, “It’s no good for you telling lies, boys. I've never told a lie in my life.” All at once there was a great shout from all the boys, and they all said, “You have won! Old fellow! You can keep the cat! It's yours now. ” With this, they all ran away, leaving the cat with the old man.‎
