What difference has it made, statistically speaking?400 million births preventedThe one-child policy, officiall
12、y 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 Chinas fertility(生育)rate happened in the 1970s. It dropped from 5. 8 children per woman in 1970 to 2. 7 in 1978. 4Despite the one-child pol
13、icy the rate had only fallen to 1. 7 by 2013.21:28 baby death rateSince 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 t
14、he 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 girlSexually selective abortions have been con
15、sidered as a major cause of Chinas unusual sexual 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. Its estimated there
16、are now 33 million more men than women in China.4: 2: 1 familiesWith the ageing of Chinas 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 grandparents cared for by two working age parents, who themselves have on
17、e child.By 2050, its predicted that a quarter of Chinas population will be 65 or older. The predicted decline in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuaded the government to drop the one-child policy.21. When was the baby death rate for both boys and girls equal?A.

Whatever your hands touch, your phones touch. It has been discovered that some phones have 18 times more bacteria and viruses than any sur
20、face in a public restroom. So it probably wont surprise you that a 2011 University of London study found that one in six of our phones have bacteria and viruses on themspecifically, the bacteria called E. coli.The research on bacteria and virusesled to the invention of PhoneSoap. It is not actually
21、liquid like dishwasher soap. It is a phone charger that uses the electromagnetic radiation (辐射) used in hospitals to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, cleaning your phone while it charges.“There are really certain types of bacteria and viruses that we should not be in touch with, and they a
22、re really on our phones,” says Wes Barnes, the PhoneSoap co-founder. It all started while his cousin and co-founder, Dan LaPorte, was in his cancer research lab at college. “He realized he got the idea of getting rid of bacteria and viruses on the phones,” said Barnes. “In the lab they used UV-C lig
23、ht for destroying them. He realized this would be the fastest, most powerful way to kill any bacteria and viruses living on electronic machines.” PhoneSoap looks like a little metal suitcase. Your phone rests in to charge and get cleaned at the same time. Instead of plugging your phone into the wall
24、, youd plug it into the PhoneSoap charger box. The process only takes a few minutes but, Barnes says, “The idea is that you can leave it in there overnight if you want to keep charging. Reflective paint keeps the light completely around the phone so it cleans the phone fully.”6The co-founders spent
25、2013 finding the right companies and they started shipping the product in late November. By last weeks International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, PhoneSoap was all grown-up. Both co-founders have left their previous jobs and are selling PhoneSoap nonstop. “Were shipping almost more than w
26、e can handle each day,” Barnes says. “Its been a great adventure.”24. We can learn from the first paragraph that _.A. phones can be very dirty B. phones are where bacteria are bornC. most phones are attacked by bacteria D. phones store more bacteria in a restroom25. According to the passage, PhoneSo
27、ap _.A.takes a whole night to kill bacteria B. deals with bacteria with radiationC. is a kind of liquid like dishwasher soap D. has to be plugged into the wall to work26. From what Barnes said in the last paragraph, we can infer that _.A. PhoneSoap is in great demand now B. PhoneSoap is really hard
28、to handle C. they cant produce enough PhoneSoap D. theyll make improvements to PhoneSoap27. Whats the passage mainly about?A. Methods of cleaning phones. B. Tips on charging phones quickly.C. Soap killing harmful bacteria on phones. D. A phone charger keeping your phone clean.CFor better eyesight, d
29、octors advise limiting the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time.However, another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV 7screens for long hours is not the only environmental cause for nearsightedness. An Australian research team compared the prevalence(流行)of
30、 and reasons for myopia (近视)among young children of Chinese origin in Sydney and Singapore. The study concluded that the prevalence of nearsightedness among children in Sydney was lower than children in Singapore, even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens. The major findin
31、g is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor activities than those in Singapore.Indoor and outdoor sports activities both make the eyes focus on more distant objects, which prevents the eyes from changing shape. But outdoor activities may better help avoid myopia than indoor sports act
32、ivities.Jane Gwiazda, a psychologist from New England College of Optometry in Boston, US, who does research in sight problems, says: “Natural light is good for eye growth. And extra vitamin D from the sun might contribute to eye growth.”Many doctors suggest that every child get its first eye test do
33、ne when he/she is about two and half years old, and even if his/her sight seems perfect.It is necessary for myopic children to wear glasses to prevent headaches, trouble reading or injuries. It is also important that schools invite doctors to test their students eyes.If that is not possible, school
34、teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examinations and wear glasses. And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children, but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors.28. Whats the aim of the study by the Australian resear
35、ch team? A. To find the reasons for nearsightedness. B. To find the ways to treat nearsightedness. C. To prove the bad effects of nearsightedness.D. To prove the prevalence of nearsightedness.29. Why are there fewer children with near-sighted in Sydney than in Singapore? A. Because Sydney children w

Childrens screen time should be limited. C. Children neednt wear glasses when their myopia isnt serious. D. Both school
38、s and parents should take care of childrens eyes.DThere are two main things that make aircraft engineering difficult: the need to make every component as reliable as possible and the need to build everything as light as possible. The fact that an airplane is up in the air and cant stop if anything g
39、oes wrong, makes it perhaps a matter of life or death that its performance is completely dependable.Given a certain power of engine, and consequently a certain fuel consumption, there is a practical limit to the total weight of aircraft that can be made to fly. Out of that weight as much as possible
40、 is wanted for fuel, radio navigational instruments, passenger seats, or freight room, and of course, the passengers or freight themselves. So the structure of the aircraft has to be as small and light as safety and efficiency will allow. The designer must calculate the normal load that each part wi
41、ll bear. This specialist is called the “stress man.“ He takes notice of any unusual stress that may be put on the part as a precaution(预防措施) against errors in manufacture, accidental damage etc.The stress mans calculations go to the designer of the part, and he must make it as strong as the stress m
42、an says is necessary. One or two small parts are always tested to prove that they are as strong as the designer intended. Each separate part is tested, then a whole assemblyfor example, a complete 9wing, and finally the whole aeroplane. When a new type of aeroplane is being made, normally only one o
43、f the first three made will be flown. Two will be destroyed on the ground in strict tests. The third one will be tested in the air.When a plane has passed all the tests it can get a government certificate of airworthiness, without which it is illegal to fly, except for test flying.Making the working
44、 parts reliable is as difficult as making the structure strong enough. The flying controls, the electronic equipment, the fire precautions, etc. must not only be light in weight, but must work both at high altitudes where the temperature may be below freezing point and in the hot air of an airfield
45、in the tropics.To solve all these problems the aircraft industry has a large number of research workers, with elaborate laboratories and test houses, and new materials to give the best strength in relation to weight are constantly being tested.32. The two main requirements of aircraft design are _.A
46、. Speed and cost B. Reliability and passenger comfortC. Lightness and dependability D. Ability to stay up in the air and reliability33. The maximum possible weight of an aircraft is determined by _.A. The engine power B. the amount of freight roomC. The number of passengers D. international regulati
47、ons34. The first three aeroplanes of a new type _.A. are only for show B. are all destroyedC. are later broken up for square parts D. are used for testing purposes35. All equipment in an aircraft must _.A. be tested to destruction B. not be too light in weightC. work especially well at high temperat
