Question

【题目】 Lin Xiao, 21, a student at Guangdong University, has a big family – her parents, a younger brother and two younger sisters. Lin takes her role as the “big sister” seriously. When her first sister was born, Lin took turns with her mom holding the baby late into the night. “I almost did everything that was supposed to be a parent’s job, but I felt proud of myself,” she said.

Not all of Lin’s classmates share her experiences because of the family planning policy (政策), The one–child policy has been carried out in China for about forty years. But the situation has changed. A new policy made on October 29 said all couples can now have two children.

The new policy is expected to help raise the population of China. Recently, China has been facing an aging population and working-people shortages because of the low birth rate (比率). The two-child policy may also be the gift for every only child. Researchers found that growing up with a brother or sister can have good influence on one’s mental (心理) health.

“Brothers and sisters do matter in unique ways. They give kids something that their parents don’t.” Laura Walker, a professor from Beijing University, told China Daily. She noted that having a brother or a sister protects teenagers against loneliness, fear and so on.

Liu Fang, 20, from Shenzhen University, has a 2-year-younger sister. When her sister disagreed with parents over choosing a college major, she helped her to communicate with her parents. “If necessary, I would always support her,” said Liu. “The best part of having a sister is that you have a partner, friend and supporter throughout your life.”

“But children with brothers or sisters also have to learn to understand and look after each other,” said Laura.

【1】推理判断题。根据Lin Xiao, 21, a student at Guangdong University, has a big family – her parents, a younger brother and two younger sisters.可知，林晓的家里有她的父亲，弟弟和两个妹妹，因此加上林晓，一共有四个孩子，故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据The new policy is expected to help raise the population of China. Recently, China has been facing an aging population and working-people shortages because of the low birth rate (比率).可知，独生子女的政策会导致人口老龄化，工人短缺和低出生率，二胎政策将有助于增加中国的人口。故选C。

【3】词义猜测题。根据They give kids something that their parents don’t.可知，他们给孩子一些父母给不了的东西，因此是独有的，故选A。

【4】推理判断题。根据The one–child policy has been carried out in China for about forty years. But the situation has changed. A new policy made on October 29 said all couples can now have two children.可知，独生子女政策已经实施了大约40年，现在二胎政策制定出来，因此独生子女政策已经过时了，故选D。

【5】主旨大意题。根据The new policy is expected to help raise the population of China. 可知，本文主要介绍了二胎政策有助于增加中国的人口， 故选C。
