　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　(2017·重庆八中三模)It may not be the most romantic way to meet the love of your life — but it could be the best way to ensure they really are for life. Finding Mr. or Mrs. Right online is more likely to lead to a happier and longer marriage than getting together through more traditional means, a study has found. A relationship started in eyherspace is 25 percent less likely to end in divorce or separation than those that began through friends or chance.

　　The success could be down to a higher motivation to find love among Internet daters and the efforts that websites put in to match partners, say researchers. Psychologists at The University of Chicago studied almost 20, 000 people who had married between 2005 and 2017 and asked them a series of questions about their happiness. Just over a third had met their spouse online, with around half of these using Internet dating and the rest via chat rooms and social networking sites. Those who were still married were happier if they had met online.

　　However, relationships that began through work, in a bar or club or on a blind date were 25 percent more likely to end ?and those couples were among the least satisfied, the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports. Professor John

　　Cacioppo, who led the study, said the absolute number of available potential partners online could be among the reasons for the results. Previous research has shown that online daters are more likely to see each other again after a first meeting because they share more information about themselves online.

　　And while the relative anonymity (匿名) of online dating does allow for prospective partners to lie about their personality, studies suggest this mostly takes the form of white lies about weight and height. The findings of the US study, commissioned by matchmaking company eHarmony, could also apply elsewhere, said Prof Cacioppo. Britons are Europe’s most prolific (多产的) Internet daters.

　　More than 5.7 million people in the UK logged on to Internet dating sites in September 2017 — a 22 percent increase in the same month a year earlier, according to the Internet market research company comScore.

　　The websites were most popular among the 25 to 34 age group, but they are becoming increasingly attractive to the older generation.

　　1. What’s the main idea of the passage?

　　A. Online daters are more likely to end up in a happy marriage.

　　B. Traditional daters are less likely to end up in divorce.

　　C. The benefits of finding Mr. or Mrs. Right on the Internet.

　　D. People tend to go to the Internet to find their love.

　　2. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the success of online dating?

　　A. Online daters have higher motivation to find their love on the Internet.

　　B. The websites make efforts to match partners.

　　C. The potential partners online talk a lot before meeting each other.

　　D. People tell a lot of white lies online.

　　3. How does the writer present the passage?

　　A. By comparing opinions.

　　B. By giving examples.

　　C. By telling stories.

　　D. By presenting information.

　　4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

　　A. The population of online daters will become smaller and smaller.

　　B. More and more people will join the army of online daters.

　　C. The phenomena of online dating will be popular all around the world.

　　D. More and more teenagers will be addicted to online dating.

　　答案与解析

　　【文章大意】

　　本文讲的是目前在线交友和相亲的成功率远远高于传统的交友和相亲方式。

　　1. 答案

　　A

　　解析

　　主旨大意题。文章主旨大意多从文章第一段或尾段查找。从文章第一段中的Finding Mr. or Mrs. Right ... more traditional means.可知答案为A项。

　　2. 答案

　　D

　　解析

　　细节理解题。从文章第二段中的The success ... to match partners.可知，A、B两项是网上约会成功的原因；从第三段中的because they share more information about themselves online.可知C项也是其原因。只有D项不是其原因。

　　3. 答案

　　D

　　解析

　　文章结构题。显然，本文作者是通过给出大量的研究信息来行文的。

　　4. 答案

　　B

　　解析

　　推理判断题。从文章最后一句可以看出，这些交友网站曾在25-34岁的人群中非常受欢迎，但现在它们对年龄更大的群体也越来越有吸引力，故可推知答案选B项。

　　(2017·重庆七中一模)The decision of the Third Plenum of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to allow a married couple to have two children if one of the couple is an only child is indeed welcome news to the many young couples who want to have more than one child.

　　What is even more meaningful is the statement in the decision that the family planning policy will be gradually adjusted to promote demo-graphic (人口) development on a balanced and long-term basis.

　　Such flexibility is necessary, given the fact that China has the largest population in the world and one of the major engines for the global economy. People are now predicting further loosening as a higher birth rate is needed to offset the too low birth rate of the past and the rapid aging of society, which are putting pressure on economic growth and social progress.

　　Economists see the drop in the working-age population by 3.45 million in 2017 as strong evidence of the need for a much higher birth rate to avoid an economic crisis caused by a lack of labor. Sociologists consider the fertility (繁殖力) rate of 1.18 in 2017 as a sign of society being lacking in energy, and warn that the rapid increase of senior citizens will prevent the dynamics of both economic and social progress.

　　These concerns must have been taken into consideration during the process of making the decision. However, as a country with a population of more than 1.3 billion, China can never set aside concerns about the negative effects a population explosion would have on its economic and social development.

　　What we need now are reasonable expectations for the country’s demographic growth. It was expected that under the previous family planning policies, the country’s population would grow to 1.5 billion and then gradually drop. If this is still the possibility we hope to realize, further study is needed to figure out how we should adjust the policies so that the decline in population will not be so sharp that it deals a heavy blow to the overall development of the country.

　　1. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the problem with the previous family planning policy?

　　A. A too low birth rate.

　　B. A rapid increase of the aged.

　　C. A big population explosion.

　　D. A sharp decline in working-age population.

　　2. The underlined word “offset” in the third paragraph can best be replaced by “________”.

　　A. compensate for

　　B. set out

　　C. call for

　　D. set off

　　3. What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A. China’s population won’t stop growing until it reaches 1.5 billion.

　　B. Balanced demographic growth benefits the overall development of China.

　　C. In China, a higher birth rate is needed to meet many young couples’ demands.

　　D. Economic and social progress is nothing more than demographic development.

　　4. Where does this passage probably come from?

　　A. A work of science fiction.

　　B. A book review.

　　C. A marriage guide.

　　D. A news report.

　　答案与解析

　　【文章大意】

　　本文是一篇资讯报道。为了使人口不会大幅下降，以致影响到国家的整体发展，中国及时调整了计划生育政策，推出了二胎新政策，即一方是独生子女的夫妇可生育两个孩子。

　　1. 答案

　　C

　　解析

　　细节理解题。根据本文倒数第二段内容可知，中国人口基数大，如果控制不好生育政策，有可能会造成人口大爆炸，人口大爆炸并不是之前计划生育政策所带来的问题，所以C项表述错误。故选C项。

　　2. 答案

　　A

　　解析

　　词义猜测题。画线词所在的句子是在解释新政策的原因，由此可推知，目前需要更高的出生率来弥补过去过低的出生率及快速老龄化造成的劳动力减少，compensate for意为“补偿；弥补”，与offset意思相近。故选A项。

　　3. 答案

　　B

　　解析

　　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的... we should adjust ... development of the country.可知，我们应调整政策，为了使人口不会如此大幅下降，以至于影响国家的整体发展。由此可推知，平衡的人口增长有利于中国的整体发展。故选B项。

　　4. 答案

　　D

　　解析

　　推理判断题。本文是关于我国计划生育新政策方面的介绍，显然不属于科幻小说、书评或者婚姻指南，而是一篇资讯报道。故选D项。

　　Ⅲ.语法填空

　　Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult ___1___ was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was as easy ___2___(please)as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume.

　　Besides, shopping at this time of the year was not ___3___ pleasant experience: people stepped on your feet or ___4___(push) you with their elbows (肘部), hurrying ahead to get to a bargain.

　　Jane paused in front of a counter ___5___ some attractive ties were on display. “They are real silk,” the assistant tried to attract her. “Worth double the price.” But Jane knew from past experience that her ___6___(choose) of ties hardly ever pleased her father.

　　Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered. She found some good quality pipes ___7___ sale. She did not hesitate for long : although her father smoked a pipe only once in a while, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please ___8___.

　　When Jane got home, with her small but well-chosen present in her bag, her parents were already ___9___ table having supper. Her mother was excited. “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking,” Jane ___10___ (inform).

　　答案与解析

　　【语篇解读】

　　本文描述了简在商店给挑剔的父亲挑选圣诞礼物的经过。她本以为这次买烟斗会让父亲高兴，但当她买好后回到家中，却被告知父亲决定戒烟了。

　　1. 答案

　　it

　　解析

　　考查it作形式主语。it在宾语从句中作形式主语，真正的主语是to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father。

　　2. 答案

　　to please

　　解析

　　考查不定式。在形容词后作状语，用动词不定式。

　　3. 答案

　　a

　　解析

　　考查冠词。a pleasant experience表泛指，意为“一次愉快的经历”。

　　4. 答案

　　pushed

　　解析

　　考查时态。or连接两个并列的成分，所填词与stepped并列，故用push的过去式。

　　5. 答案

　　where

　　解析

　　考查定语从句。先行词为a counter，定语从句中缺少状语，故填where。

　　6. 答案

　　choice

　　解析

　　考查词性变化。形容词性物主代词后接名词。

　　7. 答案

　　on

　　解析

　　考查固定搭配。on sale为固定搭配，意为“打折；出售”。

　　8. 答案

　　him

　　解析

　　考查人称代词。给父亲买礼物，肯定是想使父亲高兴，故在动词please后用宾格代词him。

　　9. 答案

　　at

　　解析

　　考查介词。此处table在句中不作主语，也不作动词的宾语，很可能就是作介词的宾语；由having supper可知填at。at table为固定搭配，意为“在进餐”。

　　10. 答案

　　was informed

　　解析

　　考查时态和语态。Jane与inform是逻辑上的动宾关系，全文是在讲过去的事情，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。
