Because it’s only done once every 10 years, the national census is important for helping the government. Let’s take a look at some of the findings. First, China still has a large population. The population of China is 1.41 billion. Although there are some worries about the birthrate (出生率), the country’s total population has been growing and will stay above 1.4 billion for some time. Second, China is getting into an aging (老龄化) society. Why do we think so? The country’s average (平均的) age is 38.8 years old. Nearly 20 percent of the population is over 60 years old, but the number of working-age people has dropped by over 40 million. This will cause problems such as fewer workers. But it could also make people buy products and services about old people. Third, Chinese people get more education than before. Nearly 220 million people have college degrees. China has done much to develop higher education in recent years, as well as make sure school-age kids go to school. Fortunately (幸运地), our government has realized the problems and has attached great importance to them. The government is trying its best to create more jobs. What’s more, family care and community services shall also be encouraged. 28. How often do we have a national population census? A. Every ten years. B. Every nine years. C. Every eight years. D. Every five years. 29. Which of the following doesn’t support (支撑) the idea “an aging society” in Paragraph 3? A. Nearly one fifth of the population is over 60 years. B. The country’s average age is 38.8 years old. C. There are few new babies born every year. D. The number of working-age people has dropped a lot. 30. What main problem does an aging society cause? A. A shortage (短缺) of food. B. A shortage of products. C. A shortage of workers. D. A shortage of services. 31. The writer wrote the report in a ________ tone. (语气) A. happy B. humorous C. sad D. positive (积极的) 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了2021年5月11日国家统计局发布的第七次全国人口普查结果，分析了中国人口的现状及其带来的问题。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Because it’s only done once every 10 years, the national census is important for helping the government.”可知，全国人口普查每十年进行一次，故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The country’s average (平均的) age is 38.8 years old. Nearly 20 percent of the population is over 60 years old, but the number of working-age people has dropped by over 40 million. This will cause problems such as fewer workers.”可知，全国人口的平均年龄是38.8岁，近五分之一的人口超过60岁，适龄劳动人口的数量下降了很多。因此C项“每年很少有新生儿出生”不支持第三段中“老龄化社会”的观点。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This will cause problems such as fewer workers.”可知，老龄化社会可主要导致工人短缺，故选C。 【31题详解】 观点态度题。根据“Fortunately (幸运地), our government has realized the problems and has attached great importance to them.”可知，作者认为政府已经意识到问题，重视它们，这是很幸运的，因此作者对政府应对老龄化问题的措施持积极态度。故选D。 D Confucius is a master of thinking. He came up with many great ideas. But what’s the most well-known and influential (有影响力的) one? That may be the idea of the golden mean. Have you heard of it? Do you know its real meaning? Zhongyong, the golden mean is an interesting topic. In Confucianism (儒家思想) , it is seen as an important virtue (品德). Confucius speaks highly of it. However it is easily misunderstood. People often think it means not working hard or pursuing (追求) perfection. But the key point of the golden mean is to stay moderate, neither too little nor too much. The character “zhong” means to be moderate in one’s words and behaviors. “Yong” has two meanings-being common and unchanging. ▲ When we write a story, we shouldn’t use too many fancy (华丽的) words. But it doesn’t mean we can’t use any beautiful language in the story. While exercising, we can’t do too much every time or we might get hurt. But it doesn’t mean we should never exercise. The key is to walk a fine line. The golden mean is always being praised by our nation. President Xi Jinping said we should respect cultural diversity (多祥性). We should be confident but not too arrogant (自负的) in cultural exchanges. 32. How does the writer lead into the topic in the first paragraph? A. By giving examples. B. By raising questions. C. By explaining facts. D. By listing numbers. 33. A person who agrees with the idea of the golden mean probably . A. tries to get everything done as perfectly as possible B. gives up easily when he faces difficulties in life C. is talented and sometimes looks down upon others D. keeps a balance (平衡) between work and play 34. Which of the following can be put in the ▲ ? A. However, we seldom use zhongyong in our life. B. This way of thinking is useful in our daily life. C. Why do people use zhongyong in the life? D. Can it make a difference to our life? 35. In which part of a newspaper can you probably read this passage? A. Nature. B. Sports. C. History. D. Culture. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中庸之道的含义，其关键是保持适度。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But what’s the most well-known and influential (有影响力的) one? That may be the idea of the golden mean. Have you heard of it? Do you know its real meaning?”可 知，作者在第一段通过提出问题切入主题。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“But the key point of the golden mean is to stay moderate, neither too little nor too much.”可知，中庸思想的关键是保持适度，不多也不少。因此，赞同中庸思想的人会在工作和娱乐之间保持平衡。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“When we write a story, we shouldn’t use too many fancy (华丽的) words. But it doesn’t mean we can’t use any beautiful language in the story. While exercising, we can’t do too much every time or we might get hurt. But it doesn’t mean we should never exercise. The key is to walk a fine line.”可知，中庸之道这种思维方式在我们的日常生活中很有用。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段“Confucius is a master of thinking. He came up with many great ideas. But what’s the most well-known and influential (有影响力的) one? That may be the idea of the golden mean.”可知，本文主要介绍了中庸之道思想，故推测我们可以在报纸的文化版块读到这篇文章。故选D。 E ① Have you ever wondered how an insect would taste? “They are crispy and crunchy (酥脆的). I like eating them because they are quite delicious and rich in protein (蛋白质),” Yang Xingyu, who loves fried insects, told China Daily. ② A growing number of people start to try edible (可食用的) insects, such as beetles and bees. They can be fried, fried, boiled in soup or even mixed with dessert. About 2 million people have already added insects to their diets, according to a UN report. ③Insects are rich in protein and vitamins. Guo Jianjun, a professor at Guizhou University, told China Daily that insects are known as “God’s last piece of cake for human”, with a lot of unknown possibilities to be fully recognized (辨别出). ④“For example, most of the fat in insects is unsaturated fatty acid (不饱和脂肪酸),” Guo said, adding that it is good for the heart and brain. Sometimes, the insects are used in medicine as well. Researchers have been doing research on how eating insects can improve human’s health. ⑤More importantly insects are found in large numbers all over the world and have strong reproductive abilities. Most of them can lay hundreds of eggs at a time. That’s why they can play an important role in fighting the problem of food shortage as the population continues to increase worldwide. ⑥The world population is expected to rise to 8.5 billion by 2030, and about 10.4 billion by the 2080s, according to a UN report in March. ⑦ Huang Dawei, another expert in insects, told China Daily that the world population is rising much faster than the availability (可用性) of food. Every day, the supply of food for Chinese people reaches more than 70,000 tons. Therefore, developing new food sources (来源) is in great need. ⑧Raising and eating insects can help protect the environment. For example, the greenhouse gases produced by pigs are 10 to 100 times more than those produced by beetles. What’s more, waste from the production of other food materials can be used to feed edible insects. 36. What does the underlined word “They” in the second paragraph refer to ________.

In order to save money to buy nutritious ingredients, I sold some old toys in the second-hand market. After failing twice, I finally made a bowl of delicious soup. My mother tasted the soup and said, “My son has grown up. You begin to take care of others. I’m very proud of you.”Although I felt a little tired these days, I was really happy to hear what she said. It’s true that I have become such a boy that I do as much as possible to help my mom. I also started to realize something that I would carry with me in the rest of my life too.

C On May 11,2021, the National Bureau of Statistics (国家统计局) released (发布) the results of China’s seventh national population census (普查). Because it’s only done once every 10 years, the national census is important for helping the government. Let’s take a look at some of the findings. First, China still has a large population. The population of China is 1.41 billion. Although there are some worries about the birthrate (出生率), the country’s total population has been growing and will stay above 1.4 billion for some time. Second, China is getting into an aging (老龄化) society. Why do we think so? The country’s average (平均的) age is 38.8 years old. Nearly 20 percent of the population is over 60 years old, but the number of working-age people has dropped by over 40 million. This will cause problems such as fewer workers. But it could also make people buy products and services about old people. Third, Chinese people get more education than before. Nearly 220 million people have college degrees. China has done much to develop higher education in recent years, as well as make sure school-age kids go to school. Fortunately (幸运地), our government has realized the problems and has attached great importance to them. The government is trying its best to create more jobs. What’s more, family care and community services shall also be encouraged. 28. How often do we have a national population census? A. Every ten years. B. Every nine years. C. Every eight years. D. Every five years. 29. Which of the following doesn’t support (支撑) the idea “an aging society” in Paragraph 3? A. Nearly one fifth of the population is over 60 years. B. The country’s average age is 38.8 years old. C. There are few new babies born every year. D. The number of working-age people has dropped a lot. 30. What main problem does an aging society cause? A. A shortage (短缺) of food. B. A shortage of products. C. A shortage of workers. D. A shortage of services. 31. The writer wrote the report in a ________ tone. (语气) A. happy B. humorous C. sad D. positive (积极的) D Confucius is a master of thinking. He came up with many great ideas. But what’s the most well-known and influential (有影响力的) one? That may be the idea of the golden mean. Have you heard of it? Do you know its real meaning? Zhongyong, the golden mean is an interesting topic. In Confucianism (儒家思想) , it is seen as an important virtue (品德). Confucius speaks highly of it. However, it is easily misunderstood. People often think it means not working hard or pursuing (追求) perfection. But the key point of the golden mean is to stay moderate, neither too little nor too much. The character “zhong” means to be moderate in one’s words and behaviors. “Yong” has two meanings-being common and unchanging. ▲ When we write a story, we shouldn’t use too many fancy (华丽的) words. But it doesn’t mean we can’t use any beautiful language in the story. While exercising, we can’t do too much every time or we might get hurt. But it doesn’t mean we should never exercise. The key is to walk a fine line. The golden mean is always being praised by our nation. President Xi Jinping said we should respect cultural diversity (多祥性). We should be confident but not too arrogant (自负的) in cultural exchanges. 32. How does the writer lead into the topic in the first paragraph? A. By giving examples. B. By raising questions. C. By explaining facts. D. By listing numbers. 33. A person who agrees with the idea of the golden mean probably . A. tries to get everything done as perfectly as possible B. gives up easily when he faces difficulties in life C. is talented and sometimes looks down upon others D. keeps a balance (平衡) between work and play 34. Which of the following can be put in the ▲ ? A. However, we seldom use zhongyong in our life. B. This way of thinking is useful in our daily life. C. Why do people use zhongyong in the life? D. Can it make a difference to our life? 35. In which part of a newspaper can you probably read this passage? A. Nature. B. Sports. C. History. D. Culture. E ① Have you ever wondered how an insect would taste? “They are crispy and crunchy (酥脆的). I like eating them because they are quite delicious and rich in protein (蛋白质),” Yang Xingyu, who loves fried insects, told China Daily. ② A growing number of people start to try edible (可食用的) insects, such as beetles and bees. They can be fried, fried, boiled in soup or even mixed with dessert. About 2 million people have already added insects to their diets, according to a UN report. ③Insects are rich in protein and vitamins. Guo Jianjun, a professor at Guizhou University, told China Daily that insects are known as “God’s last piece of cake for human”, with a lot of unknown possibilities to be fully recognized (辨别出). ④“For example, most of the fat in insects is unsaturated fatty acid (不饱和脂肪酸),” Guo said, adding that it is good for the heart and brain. Sometimes, the insects are used in medicine as well. Researchers have been doing research on how eating insects can improve human’s health. ⑤More importantly, insects are found in large numbers all over the world and have strong reproductive abilities. Most of them can lay hundreds of eggs at a time. That’s why they can play an important role in fighting the problem of food shortage as the population continues to increase worldwide. ⑥The world population is expected to rise to 8.5 billion by 2030, and about 10.4 billion by the 2080s, according to a UN report in March. ⑦ Huang Dawei, another expert in insects, told China Daily that the world population is rising much faster than the availability (可用性) of food. Every day, the supply of food for Chinese people reaches more than 70,000 tons. Therefore, developing new food sources (来源) is in great need. ⑧Raising and eating insects can help protect the environment. For example, the greenhouse gases produced by pigs are 10 to 100 times more than those produced by beetles. What’s more, waste from the production of other food materials can be used to feed edible insects. 36. What does the underlined word “They” in the second paragraph refer to ________.
