Question

【题目】

Are you the only child in your family? Have you heard of “the two-child policy (政策)”? Everyone knows the one-child policy. It is a population control (控制) method in our country. Chinese government wanted to control the increasing population at that time. Many Chinese couples understood that and followed this policy or nearly 40 years.

However, as time goes by, some problems appear in our society. At present, these problems are mainly about: The number of workers changed from about 960 million in 2010 to 940 million in 2012. The number changed to 930 million in 2014 and will possibly fall by 29 million by 2020. China is now getting into an aging (老龄化) society. There will be more old people in the following years. But the society will be short of doctors and nurses to take care of them. The population of China will become smaller and smaller if one-child policy continues (继续). It’s the main reason that leads to the two problems above.

That’s why Chinese government began the two-child policy on January 1st, 2016. It allows each family to have two children. The government hopes it can help solve those social problems gradually (逐渐地). This policy will help offer enough workers in the future. It is reported that there will be around 2.5 million newly-born babies each year.

【5】D

【解析】

本文介绍了中国的“二胎政策”以及政府开放二胎所要解决的问题。

【1】细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“It’s the main reason that leads to the two problems above.”可知中国政府面临的是2大问题，所以A正确；由第三段第一句“That’s why Chinese government began the two-child policy on January 1st, 2016.”可知2016年1月1日施行的是二胎政策，不是一胎政策，所以B错误；由第二段“The number of workers changed from about 960 million in 2010 to 940 million... fall by 29 million by 2020.”可知2010到2014年工人的数量都在减少，不是增加，所以C错误；由最后一段倒数第二句“This policy will help offer enough workers in the future.”可知政府认为二孩政策能帮助解决社会问题，文章并没有提到这个政策没有用，所以D错误。故选A。

【2】词句猜测题。划线that 指代的是前文中提到的the one-child policy “一孩政策”，当时许多的中国夫妻都遵循了这项政策，故选C。

【3】推理判断题。根据第二段第四句“The number changed to 930 million in 2014 and will possibly fall by 29 million by 2020.”可以推断，2020年工人数量将在2014年9.3亿的基础上再减少0.29亿，所以2020年工人数量可能是9.01亿，故选D。

【4】推理判断题。本文主要讲中国人口政策变化，从“一孩政策”到现在的“二孩政策”，属于社会政策问题，可能出现在杂志中的社会历史板块，故选B。

【5】观点态度题。在文章最后“It is reported that there will be around 2.5 million newly-born babies each year.”作者给出了一个每年新增婴儿数量，这是因为作者期待二孩政策能起作用，所以他对新政策的态度应该是认为新政策十分important “重要的”，故选D。
