2025年河北省初中学业水平考试英语时事热点阅读表达专项练习 （一）2025中美关税博弈 经济波澜与民生涟漪 On April 10th , 2025, China raised the tariffs（关税）on some goods from the United States. This policy has drawn a lot of attention. But why did China do this, and how will it affect our.daily lives? In recent years, the U.S. has kept raising tariffs on many Chinese products. This is unfair and has caused big problems for Chinese businesses. China wants to solve trade problems by talking, but the U.S. always refuses. So, China has to raise tariffs on U.S. goods to protect its own interests. This tariff increase will have different effects on our lives. First, for shoppers, the prices of some US-made products will go up. Take fruits like American cherries for example. They may become more expensive. Also, American - made cars sold in China may cost more. People who want to buy these products will have to think twice or choose others. Second, for Chinese workers, those in factories that sold a lot of products to the US will have a hard time. They may get fewer orders, so some workers may lose their jobs. But on the bright side, it might also give a push to native industries. More people may start to buy products made in China, which can help local businesses grow and create new jobs. In short, China's decision to raise tariffs on U.S. goods is necessary. Even though there will be some difficulties in the short term, it can help China's economy become stronger and better in the future. 阅读短文，简略回答问题 1.Why did China decide to raise tariffs on some goods from the United States? 2.What will happen to the prices of some US - made products for shoppers after China raises tariffs? 3.How will Chinese workers, those in factories that sold a lot of products to the USA be affected? 4.

This is the first red-level wind warning, indicating extremely dangerous wind conditions. From the early morning of April 12 to the day of April 13, extremely strong winds will sweep across most parts of Hebei. In Zhangjiakou, Chengde, and the western parts of Baoding, Shijiazhuang, and Xingtai, the northwest winds will be very strong. They will be from magnitude 6 to 8, with gusts(阵风) reaching 10 to 12, and even over 13 in some local areas. These powerful winds can easily break big trees and damage houses. Other areas will be hit by northwest winds of magnitude 5 to 7, gusting up to 8 to 10, or even 11 in some places. The Bohai Sea and coastal areas will see northwest winds of magnitude 7 to 8, gusting 9 to 11, and up to 12 locally. What's worse, the strong winds will bring sand and dust. This will make it hard to see, which is dangerous for people driving cars. It will also make it uncomfortable for people outside. The air will be full of dust, and it will be hard to breathe. When there is a red wind warning,  safety must come first for everyone. Try to avoid going outside. If you have to go out, stay away from tall buildings, big signs, and trees.

What he said in the video is really cool! The food delivery business has a big problem. Some platforms ask restaurants to pay too much. They charge as high as 25% or even 30%, with extra charges for ads. Because of this, restaurants are having a hard time now. To make money and cover the high costs, some of them don't care about food safety. As a result, there are bad stories, like washing chickens in the toilet or kitchens full of rats and bugs. It's mainly because platforms take too much money. Liu Qiangdong wants to solve these problems completely. First, he thinks JD's food delivery profit can't be more than 5%. This means JD won't just try to make a lot of money. Second, he wants to help delivery riders. Full - time riders will get insurance and housing money. Part - time riders will be provided with special health insurance. So riders will be safer. Third, he said we should use technology to help restaurants and riders, instead of making their situations worse. And we should make sure the food is safe. In my opinion, Liu's ideas are really good. By making less money, JD can make the food delivery business better. Restaurants won't have so much pressure, riders will have a better life, and we can eat good food. If more companies do this, the whole business will be wonderful! It will be a win-win situation for everyone! 阅读短文，简略回答问题 1.How much do platforms charge restaurants with extra ads? 2.Why don’t some restaurants care about food safety according to Liu? 3.What does the writer think will happen if JD carries out these plans? 4.

The Shenzhou 20 crew is made up of three brave astronauts: Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie. Dong has flown to space before, while it is Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie's first space journey. Before the launch, they spent 6 months training hard to get ready for this important job. The spaceship, carried by a Long March-2F carrier rocket, soared into the sky at 17:17. About 10 minutes later, it separated from the rocket and entered its designated orbit smoothly and the crew was reported to be in good condition. The Shenzhou 20 crew will stay in the Tiangong space station for six months. During their stay, they will carry out plenty of scientific experiments, such as space life science and microgravity physics experiments. They also plan to have a spacewalk and install a device that protects the station from space debris(碎片). It is the 35th flight mission of China's manned space program and the fifth crewed mission during the application and development stage of the space station.

It works in a special orbit around the Earth. We can think of it as a "space helper" because it has many important jobs. First, for manned spacecraft such as spaceships and space stations, Tianlian II - 05 helps send messages between them and people on Earth. It’s like a bridge in space, making sure astronauts can share information safely. Second, it takes care of medium and low - orbit resource satellites. These satellites can take pictures of our Earth and study the universe. Tianlian II - 05 helps them send the data they collect back to scientists on Earth. Third, when new spacecraft are launched, this amazing satellite watches over them. It gives necessary support to make sure the launches are successful. Thanks to Tianlian II - 05, China’s space work becomes more powerful. With Tianlian II - 05, China’s space exploration will become safer and more successful in the future.
