The tuition fee exemption is one of a series of measures released by the city to encourage the birthrate. Others include subsidies(补贴)for universal childcare services, house purchases and medical expenses for childbirth. The government is also optimizing pregnancy leave and encouraging employers to explore flexible working schedules for female workers. The newly released measures have received a mixed response from the public with some welcoming the policy, while others say the tuition benefit is too little and too far off to make an impact. “Is the child able to study in a senior middle school if he or she didnt pass the examination?” said one user mockingly on the Twitter-like platform Sina Weibo. Cities in the province have been ramping up subsidies, and education and nursery care services to encourage families to have more children. Shandong province, with a population of over 100 million people, in 2022 recorded its lowest birthrate since 1983. “To encourage the birthrate, the government need to pay attention to the needs of families with only one child instead of only providing subsidies for couples with two or three children. Whether young couples have a high willingness to have one more child depends mostly on their experience of raising the first child,” said Gao Ming, 35, a resident of Qingdao. She added that she didnt want to have a second children, even if Qingdao took similar measures.4. What benefits can a woman with a third child enjoy in Weifang?A. The whole pregnancy leave and one-year maternal leave.B. The promise of her third childs admission to senior middle school.C. Free tuition fees of her third child for senior middle school.D. The house purchases with expenses fully covered by the government.5. The underlined word “mockingly” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ?A. jokinglyB. alarminglyC. lovinglyD. willingly6. Why does the passage end with a quote from Gao Ming?A. To present a fact.B. To illustrate a viewpoint.C. To solve a problem.D. To make a comparison.7. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A. Shandong witnessed its lowest birthrate in 2022.B. More measures are introduced to boost childbirth.C. Newly released measures caused different public responses.D. Is it a blessing or a curse to have more children?CThe hustle and bustle(喧嚣)of life, walking back and forth from the ideal to reality, and the inner confusion hidden behind a social mask-these daily experiences are recorded by Chinese youths in lines of poetry online. Recently, 124 Bilibili internet users shared their works in a poem collection. One blogger on Xiaohongshu who goes by the nickname Gehuaren is one such poetry lover. The twenty-something girl not only writes poems as a form of entertainment in her spare time, but also improvises(即兴创作)poems for others at night markets in Yunnan. As a street-stall poet, Gehuaren often writes pieces of poetry quickly based on themes from customers. Once the poem has been completed, she refuses to change her work because she feels her poems reflect her first reaction. For her, everything in the world, no matter trivial or significant, can serve as her poetic inspiration. “A glass, a tree in the dawn or a person who once talked with methese all could become themes for my poems,” said Gehuaren. With free writing with a regular rhythm and broad themes, her poems strike a chord with many young people online, helping her gain over 190, 000 followers. Many have made comments “I feel healed by your poems because I can find beauty from unnoticeable things and in turn, slow down to reflect on my life.”Apart from poetry, various means such as vlogging and photosharing can be used to record moments of daily life. But young people consider poetry to be the best way to express them. “Taking photos or vlogging can just show the object or emotions in real life. Yet poetry, which can be used to excite the imagination, shows the beauty of daily life, ”an 18-year-old said. So when he is inspired by the beauty of daily life, the boy writes it down into lines of poetry and then shares them with his friends on his WeChat Moments. No matter why young people write their unique brand of poems, they are attempting to take every moment in lives seriously, face their lives bravely and actively express themselves.8. How does Gehuaren find inspiration for her poems?A. By referring to traditional Chinese poems.B. By attending various online poetry lectures.C. By exploring great moments in life.D. By observing everyday life.9. Why are Gehuarens poems so popular with her followers?A. They are original and full of imagination.B. They have a strong sense of rhythm.C. They record the beauty of small and ordinary things.D. They reflect the differences between the ideal and reality.10. Whats the 18-year-olds attitude towards poetry?A. Positive.B. Neutral.C. Cautious.D. Objective.11. What can we infer about the young poets in the last paragraph?A. They hope to avoid challenges.B. They intend to impress their peers.C.

They make their thoughts known bravely.DIn the office of remote sensing scientist Liu Shaochuang, there is a huge photograph of a camel he snapped a decade ago in Xinjiang. He crouched for hours by a pool of water in the Gobi Desert to capture the image. Since 2012, he has led a team in tracking and studying wild camels using satellite remote sensing technology. Unlike zoologists who focus on species, Liu has studied the interrelationship between endangered animals and their environment, which he believes will help develop better protection strategies in the face of climate change. His interest in wild camels began when his team tested a prototype(雏形)design of the lunar rover Yutu in the desert. Living in the harsh deserts in northwestern China and southwestern Mongolia, camels are listed as critically endangered animals. Experts estimate that the population of this species is currently less than 1, 000, of which around 650 are in China. “Ten years ago, the research relied solely on human observation, which was very primitive, ”Liu says. Because camels are fully migratory and can travel over long distances, scientists used to learn their habits by studying hoof prints and droppings. It was hard to find one camel in the desert, let alone track it. But Liu thought his expertise in satellite navigation(导航)and remote sensing might come in useful in the study of wild camels. It was not easy at first. Liu learned zoology from scratch. His team had to spend several weeks each year braving dust and sandstorms in the vastness of the Gobi Desert seeking out camels. A scar on his right eyebrow is the result of a rollover accident on a rugged mountain road in Xinjiang. “The most exciting moment was attaching a satellite positioning collar to a wild camel. ”The tracking collar, equipped with special receivers, weighs only a few hundred grams. It can detach automatically and will not have a negative impact on the daily lives of the animals. The locations of the tracked animals are transmitted via satellite every day. Based on the data, scientists can get to know their migratory paths, living environments and possible threats they may meet with. For Liu, it is worth the significant sci-tech effort to study such a rare species. He adds wildlife protection and research will become more precise and efficient with the help of technology.12. What was it that made tracking wild camels difficult?A. The number of camels experienced a sharp decline.B. Massive migration made camels cover huge distances.C. Primitive tools were used in human observation.D. Hoof prints and droppings were never to be seen.13. What can be inferred from the scar on his right eyebrow?A. His carelessness in carrying out his research.B. His inexperience at the very beginning of his work.C. The rough conditions under which he worked.D. The stress he met with in his work.14. What does paragraph 7 mainly focus on?A. The formation of the tracking collar.B The definition of the tracking collar.C. The importance of the tracking collar.D. The function of the tracking collar.15. Which of the following can best describe Liu Shaochuang?A. Generous and ambitious.B. Confident and grateful.C. Creative and determined.D. Optimistic and modest.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Soothe the Sunday scariesMost of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets neglected during the workweek.
