Ⅰ.阅读理解 [话题：人口时钟，关注未来] On Friday, Japanese researchers announced a population clock that showed a dangerous situation that the Japanese nation would disappear in 1,000 years if the falling birth rate kept the present level.Researchers in the northern city of Sendai said that Japan's population of children aged up to 14, which now stands at 16.6 million, was falling at the rate of one child per 100 seconds.It would lead to a terrible result that there would be no children left in Japan in 1,000 years. “If the rate keeps falling at that rate in our country, there will only be one child who is able to enjoy the following Children's Day left on May 5th,3011，” said Hiroshi Yoshida, a professor at Toholu University.“But 100 seconds later, a national disaster that there are no children left in Japan will happen，” he added, “The nation's people will disappear for the birth rate has fallen to the level that every woman has no more than two children, which started in 1975.” Yoshida said they created the population clock to make Japanese people pay close attention to that problem for their nation's future. Another study showed that Japan's population was expected to fall to one third of the present population amount: 127.7 million in the next century.The Japanese government predicted that the birth rate would just become 1.35 children per parents within 50 years. At the same time, Japanese life expectancy which is expected to ascend from 86.93 years in 2010 to 90.93 years in 2060 for women and from 79.64 years to 84.19 years for men has already been one of the highest in the world.More than 20 percent of the Japanese are aged 65 or over. It means that Japan has become one of the countries with aging populations in the world.The problem of aging populations is a headache for the government and the Japanese economy because there are fewer and fewer workers who can make money for the country.However, the government has to face the terrible situation that it needs to offer a growing number of pensions. 1．Why did researchers think Japanese people would disappear in 1,000 years? A．Because the birth rate of the nation is at a very low level. B．Because Japan will be destroyed by a serious earthquake. C．Because the Japanese are afraid of the changing environment. D．Because the country will sink in the Pacific Ocean gradually. 2．According to Hiroshi Yoshida, on June 1st,3011, 　　________　. A．children's Day will be called off B．16.6 million Japanese children may die C．Japan will become a country without children D．the birth rate of Japan will go up slowly 3．Japanese researchers created the population clock in order to 　　________　. A．tell people that the Japanese life expectancy is the highest B．show the change of the Japanese population since 1975 C．explain the reason why there is a low birth rate in Japan D．let the Japanese give special importance to the population problems 4．According to the passage, what will happen in Japan in the following 100 years? A．The life expectancy will be 90.93 years for women. B．The government will receive a growing number of pensions. C．The population of Japan may only be about 42 million. D．The birth rate will be 1.35 children per family. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了日本研究者公布的人口时钟显示，如果出生率持续下降，1 000年后日本将会消失。 1．A　[细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“On Friday, Japanese researchers announced a population clock that showed a dangerous situation that the Japanese nation would disappear in 1,000 years if the falling birth rate kept the present level.(上周五，日本研究人员宣布了一个人口时钟，该时钟显示了一个危险的情况，即如果出生率下降保持目前的水平，日本民族将在1 000年内消失。)”可知，根据目前的人口数据来看，出生率低，研究者认为未来日本将会消失。] 2．C　[细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“If the rate keeps falling at that rate in our country, there will only be one child who is able to enjoy the following Children's Day left on May 5th, 3011(如果生育率继续以这样的速度下降，那么到3011年5月5日，就只剩下一个孩子能享受下一个儿童节了)”可知，Yoshida认为，如果出生率持续下降，日本将会没有孩子了。] 3．D　[细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Yoshida said they created the population clock to make Japanese people pay close attention to that problem for their nation's future.(Yoshida说，他们创造人口时钟是为了让日本人民为了国家的未来而密切关注这个问题。)”可知，他们创造时钟是为了让日本人民关注到人口问题。] 4．C　[细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Another study showed that Japan's population was expected to fall to one third of the present population amount: 127.7 million in the next century.(另一项研究表明，日本的人口预计在下个世纪将下降到目前人口数量的三分之一，即1.277亿的三分之一。)”可知，未来日本人口将会下降到现在人口的三分之一，也就是1.277亿的三分之一，即42 million左右。] Ⅱ.完形填空 [话题：老人滑冰，大胆尝试] A 77­year­old man who has been diagnosed with cancer is showing people that it's never too late to try something new in life.In a post on Twitter, Rebekah uploaded a video of her　　__1__　taking part in an ice skating performance with his teacher.
