模块成果展示(Module 9) (时间：90分钟　满分：100分) Ⅰ. 阅读理解(30分) A Are you the only child in your family? Have you heard of the two­child policy and the three­child policy? Everyone knows the one­child policy, which is a population control method in our country. Chinese government wanted to control the increasing population at that time. Many Chinese couples understood that and followed this policy for nearly 40 years. However, as time goes by, some problems appear in our society. China has a population of more than 1.4 billion, but its number of people in employment is only a little larger than 0.8 billion. China is now getting into an aging society. There will be more old people in the following years. But the society will be short of doctors and nurses to take care of them. The population of China will become smaller and smaller if the one­child policy continues. It's the main reason that leads to the two problems above. That's why Chinese government carried out the two­child policy on 1st January, 2016 and the three­child policy on 31st May, 2021, which allows a couple to have more than one child. The government hopes these can help solve the social problems gradually(逐渐地). These policies will help offer enough workers in the future. It is reported that there will be around 2.5 million newly­born babies each year. (　A　)1. From the passage we know that ________. A.
