在答题卡上。

A
China has announced its abolishing its one-child policy.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 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 deaths 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 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 grandparent,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 order.The predicted decline in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuaded the government to drop the one-child policy.
1. When was the baby deaths rate for both boys and girls equal?
A. In the 1970s.
B. In the 1980s.
C. In the 1990s.
D. In the 2000s.
2. What makes the one-child policy abolished accoring to the passage?
A. The decline of birth rate.
B. The rise of baby deaths rate.
C. The change of family structure.
D. The decline of working age people.
3. The passage sums up the one child policy by .
A. number
B. example
C. contrast
D. analysis
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A
【解析】试题分析：本文通过四组数字来回顾我国的独生子女政策。

1. B 细节理解题。

根据第二部分的第二段In the 1980s, after the one-child policy became official, the rate for both was 36可知正确答案。

故选B。

2. D 细节理解题。

根据文章的最后一句The predicted decline in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuaded the government to drop the one-child policy.
可知让政府废除独生子女政策的原因是The predicted decline in the number of people of working age。

故选D。

3. A 推理判断题。

从全文分析尤其是每段的小标题可知。

文章的第一段的statistically speaking有暗示。

本文是通过数据回看我国的独生子女政策的。

故选A。

【名师点睛】
关于细节理解题
用细节定位法：细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。

但由于高考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。

事实和细节题的命题特点是：把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达，即同义改写。

解答这类题的窍门是：A)注意掌握英语的多种表达法；B)正确分析词语在句中的作用；C)熟练运用英语的句型转换；D)读懂题干所提出的问题，并准确地找到文中涉及该问题的句子。

比如文章第2题，就需要快速定位在文章的最后一句The predicted decline in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuaded the government to drop the one-child policy.可知让政府废除独生子女政策的原因是The predicted decline in the number of people of working age。

这样就可选出正确答案为D。

B
The giant Sequoia trees in California grip tightly into the floor,but with shallow root,with little depth.Constantly challenging the natural elements and fighting off destruction,the giant Sequoia is "king of the forest".These trees are so tall and strong that eventually they become their own worst enemy.For you see,the Sequoia can resist lightning, storm,and wind,but eventually their roots cannot support their own weight and strength.After hundreds or thousands of years,they tumble to the ground like giant skyscrapers that have fallen from their bases after powerful explosives are detonated（引爆）.
In many ways,many of us are like those giant Sequoias,so proud,so bit,so strong,withstanding wind and fire,yet not allowing our roots to seek deep into life's meaning.Many people have only shallow roots in soft ground,leaving them constantly on the edge of falling over to their destruction.
The first step we should take is to anchor ourselves with the firm intention of
establishing strong roots of life and belief.We must trust the ground we stand on,and allow ourselves to plant the rich seeds of passion into our life's soil,nurturing it with the rain of love and joy,then allowing the fertilizer to soak into the very "veins" of the roots, leading to the trunk's healthy development.We've all seen many men with a strong trunk but no roots.They place the material dimension of wealth and finance above their own roots and foundational beliefs.They become so heavy with possessions,money,and the burden of wealth that they finally fall over as the giant Sequoia uproots itself and self-destructs.
4. The Sequoia is called "king of the forest" because it .
A. grips tightly into the forest floor
B. grows to be very tall and strong
C. lives to thousands of years
D. looks like a skyscraper
5. What does the underlined word "tumble" mean?
A. Explode.
B. Reach.
C. Build up.
D. Break down.
6. The writer's purpose in introducing the Sequoia is to .
A. tell a life truth
B. encourage struggling people
C. show the meaning of happiness
D. warn people about the danger of becoming strong
7. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Life Is Rooted in A Strong Belief.
B. Our Biggest Enemy Is Ourselves.
C. The Meaning of Life.
D. Build Firm Life Foundation.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D
【解析】本文通过描述加利福尼亚的“森林之王”红杉树轰然倒塌的命运，引申到有些人就像红杉树一样，因没有将根深入生活之中，导致自己时时处于被毁灭的边缘，以此说明打牢人生根基的意义。

4. 细节理解题。

美国红杉长得极其高大粗壮，巨大无比，跟种种破坏作斗争，故被称为“森林之王”。

由第一段第二句可知答案。

故选B。

5. 词义猜测题。

由句后的“that have fallen from their bases”可知“tumble”是“垮塌”之意。

故选D
6. 推理判断题。

第二段作者转而讲有些人像红杉树一样，没有将根深入生活中，使自己时时处于被毁灭的边缘。

作者的言外之意是告诉我们要打牢人生的根基。

故选A
7. 主旨大意题。

本文主要采用类比手法，说明打牢人生根基的重要意义，故D项作为标题最佳。

【名师点睛】考查：推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。

它包括判断和推理题。

这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了作出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。

该题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，作出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。

例如（3）推理判断题。

第二段作者转而讲有些人像红杉树一样，没有将根深入生活中，使自己时时处于被毁灭的边缘。

即”Many people have only shallow roots in soft ground,leaving them constantly on the edge of falling over to their destruction.”作者的言外之意是告诉我们要打牢人生的根基。

做此题时要联系所给选项的意思做，故选A
C
Many people rush into the commitment of bringing home a four-legged family member,only to find out that they are not ready for a pet.This often results in the dog being turned over to a shelter where it may not find another home.This can be avoided if potential pet owners take the time to figure out if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.
Being a responsible pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food.There are also parasite（寄生虫）prevention,boarding costs while traveling and the cost to care for the pet should it become ill or injured.That is not to say that one must be rich in order to have a dog,but it is important to be prepared for the expenses that come with being a pet owner.
Another consideration is the time commitment.An owner away from home for 14 hours every day is not an ideal situation for a dog.A potential dog owner must also consider the time it takes to care for his or her pet,the time it takes to feed,walk,play with,bathe and clean up.Also,dogs require attention.Be prepared to spend time each day petting and playing with it....
Dogs are dogs,and will act like dogs.This includes barking,digging,having
accidents in the house and,possibly, destroying some of the owner's prized possessions,such as furniture,shoes and cell phones.If the above would cause an owner to want to get rid of the dog,then he or she is not yet ready to be a pet owner.Many wonderful pets end up in shelters simply because they acted like dogs!
8. Who might be qualified to be a dog owner according to the text?
A. Kari,a teacher who works eight hours a day.
B. Jim,who has a daughter sensitive to dog's smell.
C. Dick,a jobless teenager who can hardly pay his rent.
D. Steven,a business man who travels a lot on business.
9. To be a responsible dog owner you need to do all the following EXCEPT .
A. buying dog food and feeding it
B. taking it to hospital when necessary
C. spending time each day playing with it
D. finding a shelter for it when you are bored with it
10. What does the underlined part in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Rush to adopt a dog formally.
B. Commit to buy a dog and take it home.
C. Run into a pet shelter and take one home so quickly.
D. Decide to be a pet owner without thinking about it carefully.
11. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Dogs Are Dogs
B. Ready for a Pet?
C. Have Time for a Dog?
D. Pets Are Family Members
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇说明文，告知读者如果你没有为养宠物做好准备，那就不要把它领回家。

8. 推理判断题。

文中第二段提到Being a responsible pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food. 第三段：Another consideration is the time commitment.可知宠物饲养者得有一定的经济基础，得花时间照顾它，故答案为A。

10. 句意理解题。

根据下文“only to find out that they are not ready for a pet.” 可知这句话的意思是：还没有做好准备就将宠物带回家，选D。

11. 主旨大意题。

从第一段让你准备好去承担一个pet owner的责任，到第二段、第三段对具体责任的介绍，结尾段的再论述，可知B 项Ready for a Pet?最能体现文章发展脉络，概括全文主题。

D
I had a great time this past summer visiting Stone Mountain Park with my twin grandsons.I had the opportunity to spend the day with them seeing the various sights and attractions.One thing that my grandsons had really wanted to do that particular day was to climb to the top of the mountain.Stone Mountain isn't a particularly tall mountain and fortunately has walking trails to the top,but for two 5-year-olds,along with grandpa,it's a formidable task.
Since my grandson's enthusiasm was much greater than mine,I decided to start the slow walk up the mountain. The beginning part of the trail was slow and gradual.It seemed like we were taking forever to climb just a short distance,but I had to remind myself that it took 3 of their steps to equal 1 of mine,so I found myself walking ahead of them,then having to stop and let them catch up,over and over again.
I was tired and sweaty,just wanting to get to the top of the mountain so I could rest well before starting my way back.I learned early on during our walk that this wasn't going to be the case.We had to stop and look at every large rock with someone's name carved in it.We looked at unusual plant formations.We examined large trees and we explored small rock overhangs that reminded the kids of caves.My grandsons viewed the walk as an exciting adventure.Climbing the mountain was a trial to me but my grandsons were not focused at all on the trial of climbing the mountain;they were
simply enjoying the journey of the walk....
I know when I face a trial in life,I tend to always think of the problem.I want the trial to be over quickly and let life get back to normal.What can I learn during the course of the trial? At some point,the trial will be over and we'll be joyous for sure.
However,the real joy should not be that the trial's over,but I am celebrating what I learned during the journey.
12. What does the underlined word "formidable" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Relaxing.
B. Meaningful.
C. Strange.
D. Difficult.
13. What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. The writer kept challenging his grandsons to catch up with him.
B. Old as the writer was,he walked much faster than his grandsons.
C. The writer and his grandsons walked up the mountain very fast at the beginning.
D. The writer was more eager to climb to the top of the mountain than his grandsons.
14. Why did the writer only want to reach the mountain top?
A. To have a good rest.
B. To get a better view.
C. To enjoy unusual plants.
D. To see large rocks carved with names.
15. What can be the best title of the text?
A. A tiring day spent with grandsons.
B. Joy coming from mountain-climbing.
C. A life lesson learnt from grandsons.
D. Learning to enjoy the journey.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D

12. 细节理解题，根据句意可知，石山虽然不是特别高，幸运的是，还有步行道直通山顶，但是对于两个五岁的孩子和一位老爷爷来说，这是一个艰难的任务。

由此可以推测出formidable意为“困难的；可怕的”。

故选D。

故选B。

14. 细节理解题，根据文章第3段中的“I was tired and sweaty, just wanting to get to the top of the mountain so I could rest well before starting my way back.”可知，作者只想着到达山顶是为了可以好好休息。

故选A。

15. 主旨大意题，文章介绍了作者今年夏天和两个孙子在石山公园度过了一段美好的时光，爬山的经历让他明白了一个道理：我们在生活中虽然经常会遭遇考验，但是真正让我们高兴的不是考验结束了，而是我们从考验中学到的东西，因此我们要学会享受这个过程。

【名师点睛】完形填空考查重点：一．重语境，完形填空着眼于整体理解，必须在对短文大意进行了解的基础上才能准确的推知答案。

因此，需要注意上下句的逻辑关系以及整片文章的情节，尤其是在需要填连接性词语时更需要上下文提供的线索，把自己置身于情景当中进行填空，这样才能比较顺利且有把握地捕捉到正确信息。

如（2）小题，你要通过前后文才能得知答案。

二．重实词，完形填空的命题是在一句话中的关键词语上做文章。

考察的词语大多是名词，动词，形容词，副词等实词，当然也不排除能左右文章内容的一些虚词，如介词，连词等。

例如:(19)本空考查名词基本含义的辨析。
