浙江省宁海县2017届九年级上学期十校联考英语期中考试试卷

阅读下面材料,然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

    The government in China plans to end its one-child policy(政策) and let families have two children instead.

    The plan was given on Thursday after political meetings in Beijing. There are a number of reasons for the change in policy. The change is meant to balance population development, stop a falling birth rate and strengthen the country's labor(劳动力) force.

    China, with the largest population in the world, started the one-child policy in 1980. But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some families in the countryside could have two children, if the first-born child is a girl.

    In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.

Jiang Quanbao, a teacher and population expert, explained how Chinese families react(反应) to the newest policy. "Too many young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child," he said. "People in the countryside are more interested. But some of them are already allowed to have two children."

    At the end of 2014, China had 1. 37 billion people. A total of 800 million of them have jobs. But the labor market population will drop in 35 years. That is to say, the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050. With the two-child policy, an increase in births can solve this problem.

    Boys and girls, what do you think of the two-child policy? Do you want to have a new-born brother or a sister?

(1)、Why does the government plan to end the one-child policy?

A、Because we need a larger population. B、Because millions of people have jobs. C、Because most families want to have a second child. D、Because we need to strengthen the country's labor force.
(2)、How do most young people in the cities react to the two-child policy?

A、They support the policy. B、They don't think it is good. C、They're very interested. D、They're not interested any more.
(3)、When will our country be in great need of labor if the one-child policy continues?

A、In 2015. B、In 2035. C、In 2050. D、In 2070.
(4)、The Two-Children Policy mainly ______.

A、helps solve the problems of aging population and labor shortages. B、doesn't allow one couple to have two children. C、has a bad influence on one's mental health. D、encourages one couple to have more than two children.

   We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
   Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle. Reduce means “use less”. Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
   Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
   Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

I am Nick. I am a teacher at Oxford Junior School in England. I would like to tell you something about the school day in our school.

We have our first class at 9:20 a.m. and it lasts an hour. The students have a break(休息) from 10:20 a.m,to 10:45 a.m. Most girls like to eat snacks in the classroom, but most boys like to play games in the playground.

After the break, the students have the second class. It lasts an hour and fifteen minutes.

During the first fifteen minutes, the students usually take a test(测试). The two classes in the morning are usually an English lesson and a Maths lesson.

Lunchtime is from 12:00 to 1:10 p.m. Most students bring their own lunch from home. Others have lunch in the school dining hall. After lunch, they usually play games in the playground or go to the Lunchtime Club. In the club, they can watch TV, surf the Internet, or chat with friends. The students rend some books and have another class in the afternoon. School is over at S115p.m.Then the students go home.

A theory of emotion

Two scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer developed the two-factor theory of emotion in 1962. They said that emotions are formed in two parts. First, the body has a physical response to a threat and then the mind considers the physical response as an emotion, which is then felt by the person. For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out. Your mind then decides that this is fear, which you feel as an emotion. 

A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not venting (letting the angry emotions out) but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation. 

The study was published in March by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University in the US. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting (expressing) anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like a cushion, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don't feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10, 189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as "an emotional response (反应) to a real or imagined threat (威胁)". They used a theory of emotion (情绪假说) that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind. 

The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren't very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people's hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are "definitely not the best way to reduce anger". 

The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger.
