Donald Trump won the 2024 US presidential election! According to the media, Trump received at least 270 electoral votes, which is more than half of the 538 votes needed to win. Trump’s victory was supported by a strong base of voters who admired his economic policies, such as tax cuts and job creation, and his tough attitude on immigration.
Do you know electoral system (选举制度) in the United States?
In the US, people don’t directly vote for the President. Instead, they vote for “electors” who represent their state, which called the “Electoral College” (选举人团制度). Each state has a certain number of electors, based on how many senators and representatives it has in Congress. There are 538 electors in total.
To become President, a candidate (候选人)needs to win more than half of these electors’ votes, which is 270 votes. Most states have a “winner-takes-all” rule. This means the candidate who gets the most votes in that state wins all of its electors.
Before the election, each party holds primaries to choose their candidate. People vote in these primaries to say who they want to represent their party. Then, the candidates from the two main parties, Democrats and Republicans, campaign (竞选) across the country. They tell people why they should be President.
On Election Day, people go to polling places to vote. Some states also allow early voting or mail-in voting. After all the votes are counted, we know who the electors will vote for. Then, in January, the electors meet and cast their votes for President.
The person who gets the most elector votes becomes the President. They take office on January 20th, the day after Inauguration Day (美国总统就职日), and promise to follow the Constitution. This system has been used in the US since the18th century to make sure every state’s voice is heard in choosing the President.

Thanks to the nutritious lunch subsidized(资助) by the government, Jiaxin, his 7-year-old daughter, can now enjoy better food at school. The plan covered mostly poor areas. In these places, many schools do not have enough money to build dinning rooms.
In rural areas in Guizhou, Qinghai and Gansu, students no longer have to take lunch to school, noted China Daily. More importantly, rural students in China have grown taller and healthier on average over the past ten years, as noted by an evaluation report of the nutrition improvement plan.

【知识点】社会发展、政治/政策
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国政府决定延迟退休年龄这一新闻事件。
34.句意:最近,政府决定从2025年开始,在未来15年内逐步提高官方退休年龄。根据“...the government has...to gradually raise its official retirement age...”及首字母提示可知,此处指的是政府决定提高官方退休年龄。decide“决定”,动词。再结合本句“has”可知,此句时态为现在完成时,用decide的过去分词形式decided。故填(d)ecided。
35.句意:男性的退休年龄将从60岁提高到63岁,而女性的退休年龄将从55岁提高到58岁。根据“The retirement age for men will increase from 60 to 63,...for women, it will rise between 55 and 58.”及首字母提示可知,空处前后分别为男性和女性退休年龄的两种不同变化,因此此处用while表示前后两种情况的对比,表示“然而”。故填(w)hile。
36.句意:这种变化是解决老龄化社会问题的一种方式。根据“This change is a way to...the problem of an aging society.”及首字母提示可知,此处是指解决老龄化问题的一种方法。solve“解决”,此处放在动词不定式to后面,用动词原形。故填(s)olve。

40.句意:即使有这些变化,改革也面临挑战,包括担心它对年轻人就业的影响。根据“... worrying about its influence on youth employments (就业).”及首字母提示可知,此处指的是“包括”,including表示“包括”。故填(i)ncluding。
41.句意:还需要更多的方法来帮助那些可能难以找到新工作的老年工人。根据前文“This change is a way to...”可推知,此处是指还需要更多的方法来帮助解决就业问题;再结合首字母m,可知此处用method,表示“方法”;再根据本句中“are”,可知此处用method的复数形式。故填(m)ethods。
42.句意:还需要更多的方法来帮助那些可能难以找到新工作的老年工人。根据“...to help older workers who may have trouble...new jobs.”及首字母提示,可知,此处是指帮助那些找新工作有困难的年龄更大些的工人。find表示“找到”;再根据have trouble doing sth意为“做某事有困难”,因此find需用其动名词形式,即finding。故填(f)inding。

Donald Trump won the 2024 US presidential election! According to the media, Trump received at least 270 electoral votes, which is more than half of the 538 votes needed to win.

Do you know electoral system (选举制度) in the United States?
In the US, people don’t directly vote for the President. Instead, they vote for “electors” who represent their state, which called the “Electoral College” (选举人团制度). Each state has a certain number of electors, based on how many senators and representatives it has in Congress. There are 538 electors in total.
To become President, a candidate (候选人)needs to win more than half of these electors’ votes, which is 270 votes. Most states have a “winner-takes-all” rule. This means the candidate who gets the most votes in that state wins all of its electors.
Before the election, each party holds primaries to choose their candidate. People vote in these primaries to say who they want to represent their party. Then, the candidates from the two main parties, Democrats and Republicans, campaign (竞选) across the country. They tell people why they should be President.
On Election Day, people go to polling places to vote. Some states also allow early voting or mail-in voting. After all the votes are counted, we know who the electors will vote for. Then, in January, the electors meet and cast their votes for President.
The person who gets the most elector votes becomes the President. They take office on January 20th, the day after Inauguration Day (美国总统就职日), and promise to follow the Constitution. This system has been used in the US since the18th century to make sure every state’s voice is heard in choosing the President.
