12、ially in place since 1979, has prevented 400 million births. Parents have faced fines and other punishments for having more children.The majority of the decrease in Chinas fertility(生育)rate happened in the 1970s. It dropped from 5.8 children per woman in 1970 tO 2.7 in 1978. Despite the one-child po

13、licy the rate had only fallen tO 1.7 by 2013.21:28 baby death rate Since the one-child policy was introduced, baby girls have become more likely to die than boys.In the 1970s, according to the United Nations, 60 males per 1,000 live births died under the age of one. For girls the figure was 53. In t

14、he 1980s, after the one-child policy became official, the rate for both was 36. By the 1990s, 26 males per 1,000 live births died before the age of one-and 33 girls. The 2000s saw 21 boys per 1,000 live births dying and 28 girls. 1.16 boys born for every girlSexually selective abortions have been co

15、nsidered as a major cause of Chinas unusual sexual imbalance. Gietel-Basten, associate professor in social policy at Oxford University, says the births of many girls are not registered if parents have broken the rule by having two children, adding officials often turn a blind eye. It*s estimated the

16、re are now 33 million more men than women in China.4： 2： 1 familiesWith the ageing of Chinas population and the continuation of the one-child policy, a 4: 2 : home is the description given to households in which there are four grandparents cared for by two working age parents, who themselves have on

17、e child.By 2050, it*s predicted that a quarter of Chinas population will be 65 or older. The predicted decline in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuaded the government to drop the one-child policy.1、When was the baby death rate for both boys and girls equal?B.

20、cted to head the brand new Presidential Committee on Climate Security. The atomic scientist, who achieved recognition for his work on atomic collisions (原子碰撞)， not climate science, declared that the planefs atmosphere needs significantly more CO2, which is reported to speed up climate change. Happer

21、 said plants use CO2 to live and more CO2 is actually a benefit to the Earth. He also stressed that Earth is experiencing a CO2 starvation，and concludes that “If plants could vote, they would vote fbr coal.,Earth and plant scientists, however, find Happers insistence that the plant kingdom would ben

22、efit from increased CO2 wrong-headed and it lacks evidence. For example, Earths CO2 levels have increased sharply in the last century, and are now at their highest levels in at least 800,000 years-though other measurements show CO2 levels are higher than theyve been in 15 million years. uThe idea th

23、at increased CO? is universally beneficial to plants is very misguided J Jill Anderson, an evolutionary ecologist specializing in plant populations, said in an interview. Data shows the evolution of global average temperature and CO2 concentration from 1850 to 2019. Though 2019 is a bit cooler than

24、recent years, it still is one of the warmest years ever and lies close to the trend line of global warming.Both independent academic organizations and government agencies around different parts of the world concluded more CO2 will bring many negative impacts to plant environments. And they added tha

25、t “If someone is going to claim it is good, its necessary fbr them to show evidence.”1 Why does Happer think plants need more CO2?A. Plants vote for more CO2.B. CO2 speeds up climate change.C. Plants need more CO2 to live.D. CO? is actually a benefit to the Earth.2、What can be inferred from paragrap

26、h 3?A. 2019 is a bit warmer than recent years.B. CO2 levels must be the highest in history.C. The plant kingdom must benefit from increased CO2.D. There are adequate evidence to support Happers insistence.3、What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably refer to?A.More CO2.B.The p

They can come to us as a

28、great change in our physical reality or as a simple coincidence in our lives. Sometimes theyre big and cant be missed. Other times theyre so subtle that if we arent aware, we may miss them altogether. They can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously meet at just the right insta

29、nt. If we listen carefully, well always hear the right words, at the right time, to dazzle （目 眩）us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before.On a cold January afternoon in 1989,1 was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypts Mt. Horeb. Td spent t

30、he day at St. Catherines Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow path, rd occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain. While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another langua

31、ge, there was one man that day who did neither.I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain. As he got closer, I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers Id seen. Rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the

32、norm, this man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing. He wore a tattered, rust-colored galabia and obviously old and thick-soled sandals that were covered in dust. What made his appearance so odd, though, was that the man didnt even appear to be Egyptian! He was a small-framed Asian man, had ver

33、y little hair, and was wearing round, wire-rimmed glasses.As we neared one another, I was the first to speak, “Hello J I said, stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer. I thought that maybe he hadnt heard me or the wind had carried my v

34、oice away from him in another direction. Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail, looked up from the ground, and spoke a single sentence to me in English, Sometimes you dont know what you have lost until youve lost it. As I took in what I had just heard, he simply s

35、tepped around me and continued his going down the trail.That moment in my life was a small miracle. The reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context. The year was 1989, and the Cold War was drawing to a close, what the man on the trail couldnt have known is that i

36、t was during my Egyptian pilgrimage （朝圣），and specifically during my hike to the top of Mosess mountain, that Id set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry, my friends, my family, and, ultimately, my life.I had to ask myself what the chances were of an As

37、ian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up, stopping before me, and offering his wisdom, seemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my own question was easy: the odds were slim to none! In a meet that lasted less than two min

38、utes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home, a total stranger had brought clarity and the hint of a warning, regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way of thinking, thafs a miracle.I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every da

39、y. Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are In the moments when we dont, thats okay as well. It seems that our miracles have a way of coming back to us again and again. And each time they do, they become a little less subtle, until we cant possibly miss the me

40、ssage that they bring to our lives!The key is that they9re everywhere and occur every day for different reasons, in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment. Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting t
