河北省承德市 2021-2023年中考一模英语试题分类汇编 阅读理解 2023年河北省承德市中考一模英语试题 VIII.阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读A、B、C、D四篇材料，然后从各小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A China introduced the “double reduction (双减)” policy in July, 2022. According to the policy, it should take no more than 90 minutes for junior high school students to finish their homework. Several months have passed since the new term began. Here are the two students’ points of view. “Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 15-year-old Xie Dong from Shijiazhuang. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks any more. The exercises are mainly from the textbook.” Students have enough time to learn new knowledge now. “Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from real life,” said Xie. Self-discipline (自律) becomes the key. “Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind other students,” he said. “And we have few exams, I don’t think it is a good thing.” For 15-year-old Zhang Jing from Langfang, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called “leadership development” where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond schoolwork,” said Zhang. There are fewer exams now. But it’s not necessarily a good thing. “Exams push met o study harder. Each exam shows my progress as well as my weak points,” Zhang said. （ ）51.
