21、The document issued on Tuesday explains in detail the specific measures to carry out the policy decision of the central authorities on May 31 to allow all couples to have a third child, as the country faces the continuous challenges of a graying society and a decreasing birthrate.

The document said financial burdens, a shortfall in the provision of day care services and women’s career concerns were among the major factors that have reduced couples’ willingness to have more children.

The document asked local governments to simplify the handling of matters such as the issuing of birth certificates, vaccinations for newborn babies and applications for social security cards.

Broader support will also be rolled out in a wide range of sectors to improve the provision of day care services, the document said, adding that kindergartens will be encouraged to admit children younger than 3, the lower limit under the current admission policies. The document suggests couples with younger children will have access to tax reductions, subsidized (补助) housing and breastfeeding leave. Inspections will also be made to ensure pregnancy and childbirth do not endanger women's career opportunities.

The document noted that China will continue to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of families with only one child. Efforts will also be made to explore setting up an improved leave system for offspring from one-child families to care for their parents.

As the authorities are still changing and improving rules to adapt to the new third-child policy, many couples have found themselves in limbo. Under China's family planning rules, couples usually need to get official documents to expand their families.

To address this, the authorities in some parts of China, including the Tibet autonomous region and Anhui province, have allowed couples to go ahead with their plans to have more children, and they will be able to apply for the official documents once the new rules are in place.

【1】Which is the best title of the passage?

A．Third-child Policy Boosting Newborns

B．The Document Issued on Tuesday

C．People’s Reaction to the Document

D．Measures to Support Third-child Policy

【2】According to paragraph 5, we can learn that________.

A．the rights and interests of one-child families will continue to be protected

B．offspring from one-child families have had longer leave to care for their children.

C．families with only one child are worried about their future

D．offspring from one-child families have no time to look after their parents

【3】The underlined word “limbo” in paragraph 6 probably means “a situation that is________”.

A．suitable

B．uncertain

C．hopeless

D．satisfactory

【4】Which measure is NOT explained in the document issued on Tuesday?

A．To provide more job opportunities for women.

B．To simplify the issuing of birth certificates.

C．To improve the provision of day care services.

D．To reduce tax for couples with younger children.

22、Plastic is everywhere because plastic is an extremely useful material．It is cheap, strong and lightweight．What’s more, it can take on nearly any form or shape, from soft and stretchy （有弹性的） to hard and glasslike.

Plastic, however, is far from perfect．It may even be bad for us．Studies now suggest that poisonous chemicals can get out of some types of plastic, get into our bodies, and cause a variety of health problems, including cancer, birth defects and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （注意缺陷障碍）.

Two types of chemicals in particular have raised special concern lately．They are called phthalates （邻苯二甲酸盐） and Bisphenol-A （二酚基丙烷）, BPA for short． Not all plastic products contain them．But the ones that do are surrounded by controversy （争议）．That’s because experts disagree on how dangerous these chemicals are.

Plastic is a single word, but plastic isn’t just one thing．What all plastics share in common are plasticizers -- special chemicals that allow the material to be changed into nearly any shape or texture．Plasticizers （塑化剂） are added to plastic during the manufacturing process.

Phthalates and BPA are two types of plasticizers that work in different ways．Phthalates add softness to things like shampoo bottles, raincoats and rubber．They are also used in perfumes and makeup．BPA, on the other hand, gives a hard, clear, almost glasslike feel to products such as infant bottles．BPA also appears in food and soda cans, DVDs and other unexpected places.

How do these chemicals get into us? When plastic is heated in the microwave or dishwasher, chewed on or scratched, the chemicals can seep （渗透） out of the plastic．Even though we can’t see them, we eat them, drink them and breathe them in.

Scientists and parents are especially worried about young children, who tend to chew on everything, including plastic．Dozens of countries, including the European Union, Japan, Canada and Mexico have already banned phthalates from products made for children younger than three．California and Washington have done the same．And a number of other states are considering similar rules．As for BPA, Canada became the first country to ban the chemical from baby bottles．A dozen states are considering it.

【1】What can we know about the plastic from the first paragraph?

A．Its characters and effects．

B．Its wide use and bad points.

C．Its importance and chemicals．

D．Its popularity and advantages.

【2】Which of the following products contains BPA?

A．A soft plastic cup． B．A pencil eraser.

C．A baby milk bottle． D．A new perfume.

【3】Phthalates and BPA can get into us __________．

A．through mouth or nose

B．through blood transfusion

C．by feeling plastic products

D．by heating in the microwave

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．A new ban on plastic products．

B．Problems caused by the plastic．

C．Good points of the plastic．

D．The use of plasticizers.

23、Last Saturday morning, Jasmine Harrison became the youngest woman to row alone across an ocean. It took the 21-year-old swimming teacher just 70 days to row across the Atlantic Ocean.

Ms Harrison, who’s from North Yorkshire, England, didn’t have loads of experience in rowing long distances. She’d only gotten the idea three years earlier when she happened to be in Antigua and saw the end of the 2017 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. “I just thought, I want to do this, so I’m going to do it,” she said.

Every year, rowers taking part in the Atlantic Campaign set off from the Canary Islands in December and row roughly 3,000 miles (4, 828 kilometers) across the Atlantic. Some handle the rowing in teams of two, three, or four. Others, like Ms Harrison, row by themselves.

It wasn’t easy. Every day, Ms Harrison would row for about 12 hours, pushing her 550-pound (250-kilogram) boat across the ocean. On average, she rowed about 20, 000 strokes a day, covering roughly 60 miles (97 kilometers).

Ms Harrison had a satellite phone that allowed her to talk with family and friends every day. But the journey still left her with a lot of time all by herself, which she says she enjoyed. But things got a little harder after her speaker fell in the water and she could no longer listen to her music.

She had other company along the way. She saw lots of sea life, including several whales. One even rose out of the ocean right next to her boat. For several days, she was followed by a small group of dolphins. “I’m in their environment,” she said. “It’s just amazing.”

But there was danger, too. Twice, her boat was turned over in the night by large waves. The second time, she hurt her elbow quite badly. Another time, she nearly ran into a ship. “Everything happened when I was asleep,” she said.

Somehow, she kept going. On 20 February, after 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes, she reached the island of Antigua — the end of the journey.

【1】What led to Jasmine Harrison’s brave move?

A．Her friends’ encouragement.

B．Her family members’ support.

C．Seeing other successful rowers.

D．Rowing long distances for ages.

【2】How long did Jasmine Harrison row?

A．About 3, 000 miles.

B．About 3, 200 miles.

C．About 4, 000 miles.

D．About 4, 200 miles.

【3】What does the author try to show by mentioning whales and dolphins?

A．Ocean animals were friendly.

B．Rowing alone was dangerous.

C．Jasmine Harrison wasn’t alone.

D．Jasmine Harrison loved animals.

【4】Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．An Impossible Dream Comes True.

B．21-Year-Old Rows Across Atlantic.

C．Young Woman Breaks World Record.

D．She Spends 70 Days Alone on the Sea.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

This past summer, I joined my sister's family for their annual Adirondack vacation in a rented cottage on a lake, the same place my family has stayed since I was a little kid. There are plenty of activities to keep everyone busy: swimming, fishing and sand castle building on the beach.

By the third day, I had noticed that my ten-year-old niece, Jannie, had spent most of her time watching cable TV and browsing through the gift shops in town. Not exactly the wilderness experience I remembered from my youth. So, at dinner, I told Jannie we should hike to the top of the mountain across the lake the following morning, which was called Rocky Point because the peak is bare and rock-covered.

"Well." replied Jannie, "Tomorrow there are some shows on the Disney Channel, so I'm going to be pretty busy."

"When your mother and I used to come here when we were your age, we were too busy swimming and hiking up mountains."

"Sounds more like punishment than a vacation." She shrugged her shoulders. "Besides, I don't think I can walk that far."

When I said it only took a half-hour of steady walking to get to the top. She grumbled, "Fine, I'll go." I knew she was agreeing just to shut me up, but I would take anything I could get.

The next morning was a perfect day for a hike, with sunshine and clear skies. I got up early and took some sandwiches and water bottles, which I tucked into my backpack along with the bug spray and the camera.

Jannie came shuffling downstairs, sighed dramatically, rolled her eyes and announced in a very unenthusiastic, robot-like voice. "I'm ready to go hiking, Uncle David." Anyway, we climbed into my car and drove to the trailhead about ten minutes away. As we stood at the edge of the parking lot and looked down the shaded trail that led into the woods. "I am still not sure this is a good idea, but if you and Mom could do it, I can too, I guess."
