三、阅读单选

When you read this sentence, the population of the Earth has grown about 10 people. That may not sound much, but about 14,000 people are born per hour.
Most of these new babies are born in the developing countries. These countries are found in Africa, South America and parts of Asia.
In the developed countries of Europe and North America, the population is growing slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average (平均), only one or two children.
In the developing countries, more than one billion people live below the poverty line. These people don’t have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing. Children get little or no time at school and suffer from many kinds of diseases.
The UN has said that the world’s population will reach 12.5 billion by the year 2100. If the number makes your head spinning (晕眩), you’re not alone. Many experts are worrying about that so fast population growth could have very bad results. It could hurt the environment and increase the number of poor people.

China would allow all married couples to have as many as three children from May 31st 2021 on. The decision came five and a half years after the country allowed all couples to have two children.
The decision was made at a meeting of the Communist Party of China(中国共产党). The move quickly followed the release of China’s seventh census(人口普查) findings, which showed that the country’s population was growing at its slowest rate since the 1950s. According to the National Bureau of Statistics(统计局), the number of babies born in China fell by 2.65 million to 12 million in 2020.
China is hoping that the policy change will help solve the problem of its falling birth rate and ageing population. Xinhua News Agency said the change would help to improve the structure of the country’s population.
The new policy will come with several supportive measures. Among these measures, China lower educational costs for families, step up tax and housing support and make sure to secure the rights and interests(利益) of working women. It would also look to educate young people “on marriage and love”.
As shown in China’s 14th Five-year Plan, China has come to a time when its ageing problem must be taken seriously at the national level. It is hoped by the government that this change in birth policy will be part of the solution.
36．Why does China allow couples to have three children now?
A．Because of its falling birth rate and ageing population.
B．Because of good supportive measures.
C．Because of its good environment.
D．Because of its rapidly growing economy.
37．How many babies were born in China in 2020?
A．2.65 million.B．9.35 million.C．12 million.D．14.65 million. 38．The underlined word “secure” in this passage means ________.
A．compare B．hide C．protect D．harm
39．Which supportive measure for Three-child Policy is mentioned in the passage? A．Lowering the costs of education.B．Giving three-child couples free food. C．Offering good jobs to three-child couples.D．Educating young people on “friendship”. 40．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The seventh census findings are very important for the Three-child Policy.
B．China’s population has been growing very slowly since the 1950s.
C．It is important and necessary to carry out the Three-child Policy.
D．Carrying out the Three-child Policy needs some supportive measures.
