It is a population control method （控制方法）.The Chinese government aimed（打算）to control the increasing population at that time. Many Chinese couples understood that and followed this policy for nearly 40 years. Everyone should be responsible for our country.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 2023 to 940 million in 2023. The number changed to 930 million in 2023 and fell by29 million by 2023.●China is now getting into an aging 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 the one-child policy continues（持续）.It's the basic reason that leads to the two problems above.That's why the Chinese government began the second-child policy on January 1st, 2023. It allows each family to have a second child. The government expects it can help solve those social problems gradually（逐渐地）.This policy will help offer enough workers in the future and prevent our country from entering the aging society. It is reported that there will be around 2.5 million newly-born babies each year.11.From the passage, we know that ______.A. our government is facing 3 main problemsB. the one-child policy started on January 1st, 2023C. our population increased a lot from 2023 to 2023D. the second-child policy won't work at all12.The underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 means ______.A. the familyB. the increasing populationC. the one-child policyD. the second-child policy13.The number of workers was ______ in 2023.A. 960 millionB. 940 millionC. 930 millionD. 29 million14.You may read this passage in the ______ part in a magazine.A.

One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Man has been polluting the earth. The more people there are, the more pollution there is. Many years ago, the problem was not so seriousbecause there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world,but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by sulfur dioxide （SO2）is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution. The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must pay attention to the rise in pollution at the same time.16.According to the passage,_____, our world isbecoming much smaller.A. because of the rise in pollutionB. thanks to the science developmentC. because the earth is being polluted day and nightD. because the earth is blown away by the wind every year17.Hundreds of years ago, life was ____ it is today.A. as easy asB. much easier thanC.as hard asD. much harder than18.In Paragraph 1, the underlined word " it" means ____.A. rubbishB. noise pollutionC. air pollutionD. water pollution19.Which of the following is NOT trueA.
