2016届江苏连云港新海实验中学中考第二次模拟考试英语试卷

阅读理解

    Lin Xiao, 21, a student at Guangdong University, has a big family – her two parents, a younger brother and two younger sisters. Lin took 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 shared 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 is about to change. 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 labor 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 have her back,” 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)、There are ________ children in Lin Xiao's family.

A、three B、four C、five D、six
(2)、The one-child policy caused some problems except ________.

A、the aging population B、labor shortages C、the population growth D、the low birth rate
(3)、What does the underlined word “unique” possibly means ________ in Chinese.

A、独特的 B、相同的 C、对立的 D、相反的
(4)、We can infer (推断) from the article that ________.

A、Lin Xiao doesn't like her sister B、Liu Fang has a 17-year-old sister C、Laura is against the two-child policy D、The one-child policy is out of date now
(5)、The best title for this article should be ________.

A、Brothers and sisters are good for us. B、The family planning policy is bad. C、The two-child policy helps a lot. D、A new policy was made.

In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some Western countries it appears they are not nice guests. And Western guests sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests.  

  In China guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home there is always fruit on the table for me and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the West generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behaviour for a guest. 

  My wife's mother is a very kind elderly Chinese lady who doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly but I must realize that she must not do that. In most North America homes if you are a guest and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least you could ask "Is it OK if I smoke?" But don't be surprised if they say "No, you can't smoke." In our culture if you smoke in their home you are a bad guest, but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house they are not a rude guest.

  Guests in China also have special habits. Some Western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So if you invite international guests to your home don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift. 

  In China you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If Western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.

In 1987 a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30years of development , the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's second largest maker of smartphones. It has also be-come the world's largest supplier(供应商)of 5G. 

But recently, Huawei faces some difficulties. The US government made a law to stop its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the US government stopped selling parts and services to Huawei. They believed that Huawei's business would be hurt this way. 

"We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information, " Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's president said. "The law would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems, " Ren added. 

In an interview(采访) several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, "I started Huawei with only£ 4, 000 at the beginning, but now it has be-come a $ 100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine. "

Facing the law of the US, Huawei is growing. Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared with a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. So far, Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunication equipment supplier(电信设备供应商), selling in 170 countries! It may beat Samsung as the largest smart phone maker in the near future.

Once upon a time, there was a huge crab(螃) living in the mountains

One day, the crab decided to return to the ocean. While he was moving to the sea, the whole earth shook.

An old man felt the land shake. He shouted loudly to his villagers,"We must build a raft(木筏)! Quickly! Quickly!

"Why should we do that?" asked one of them

"Because he is so massive that when he dives into the ocean, it will cause a flood!" The old man replied, "We must build a raft big enough to hold all of us and many animals!"

The villagers accepted his warming and began working together. Some of them cut down trees, while others were busy building the raft. After seeing what villagers did, the animals of the forest sensed that danger was coming so they joined in the work as well. The monkeys and the water buffalo wove(编) ropes, while the horses and the tiny mouse deer helped to pull trees from the forest. Finally, the old man tied one end of the rope to the raft and the other end to a big tree.

"What is that for?"asked a child.

The old man smiled, "This will help us find our way home."

Finally, the raft was ready. Not long after, this big crab completed his journey and jumped into the sea! Suddenly, the huge waves flooded the land. The villagers and animals climbed onto the life raft, which was swept away by the rushing water. People and animals were all in fear!

But the raft suddenly came to a stop because of the rope which was tied to the tree. People and animals hugged together for warmth. They sang to keep their spirits when they floated(漂浮) on the raft

The crab finally settled on the sea bottom. Soon after, the sea level returned to its original position, and the passengers found themselves back on land. Both humans and animals were happy to be alive! They turned to the old man, "Thanks for saving us by getting us to build a raft!"

But he smiled, "Oh, it was not me that saved you. We worked together-the men and women and children, and the animals too. When we work together, there's nothing we can't do."
