With over 1.3 billion, China has the largest population in the world. It represents about 20% of the world’s population, so one in every five people on the planet is a Chinese resident who lives or has a home in China, not a visitor.
China’s population growth has been somewhat slowed by the family planning policy(政策) that started in 1980. As recently as 1950, China’s population was only 563 million. The population grew quickly through the following years to one billion in the early 1980s. Now China further relaxed its family planning policy, allowing couples to have two children.
By the late 2010s, China’s population is expected to reach over 1.4 billion. Around 2030, China’s population will reach the peak(峰值) and then slowly start dropping. By 2040, India’s population is expected to be 1.52 billion and India will become the world’s most populous(人口众多的) country.
46. The underlined word “resident” probably means ___________ in Chinese.
A. 居民 B. 游客 C. 华侨 D. 外宾 47. What was the China’s population when the family planning policy started?
A. About 1 billion B. Only 563 million. C. Over 1.37 billion D. About 1.4 billion. 48. Which correctly shows the trend （趋势）of China’s population?

Paul Nicklen waited patiently on a sheet of ice in the Arctic. He was there to take pictures for National Geographic（国家地理）. Finally, he saw something big and white. It was a polar bear, swimming towards him in the icy water.
Paul lay down on the ice to get a better photo, but the polar bear jumped out of the water and tried to attack(攻击) him! Luckily for Paul, the ice cracked, or broke, and the bear fell back into the water. The polar bear wasn’t so lucky. It couldn’t get a meal and had to swim farther away to find food.
To understand the polar bear’s problem, you need to know two things about the Arctic. First, the Arctic is mostly ocean. Second, ice covers a lot of the Arctic Ocean. In winter, the ice forms a thick, white sheet, but in summer, the ice becomes thinner and breaks into pieces. Sea ice is the key to survival (生存) for Arctic animals. However, because of global warming, Arctic temperatures are rising and polar ice is melting(融化).
Polar bears need ice to hunt(猎食) seals, their favorite meal. They stand on the ice and wait for the seals to
come up for air. As Arctic ice melts, polar bears have to swim farther to find ice floes(浮冰), or large pieces of floating ice. Sometimes, bears have to swim more than 200 km to find ice floe. Some bears cannot swim that far and, sadly, they drown (淹死).
On his last trip, Paul Nicklen saw three dead bodies of polar bears. Before global warming threatened, Arctic ice, a dead bear was a rare sight (罕见). Paul is sad to see the dead bodies. Wildlife experts think global warming will have a terrible influence on polar bears. In the future, polar ice will continue to shrink(缩小) and endanger the bears. Some scientists believe 65 percent of the world’s polar bears will disappear by 2050. In other words, polar bear are in great danger.
49. According to the passage, polar bears hunt seals by _______________________.
A. waiting on the ice B. waiting in the water C. drowning the seals D. fighting with the seals 50. From the passage, Paul Nicklen is maybe a ___________________.
A. scientist B. a zoo keeper C. a visitor D. a photographer 51. We can infer that polar bears _________________.
A. won’t have any food B. will all die before 2050 C. cannot find food easily D. don’t like to swim 52. If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?
A. ①;②③④;⑤ B. ①②;③④;⑤ C.①②;③;④⑤ D. ①;②③;④⑤

Daily life in Ancient Rome often began with a light breakfast. People had bread and water (or wine) at home, or bought a wheat pancake on the way to work to school. Sometimes people ate meat, fish, fruit, and other things, but not each day.
While many girls stayed home with their mothers to take care of the home, some girls went to school with the boys. Schools only had one room. Teachers were often strict. Aristotle once said, “Young people are not playing when they are learning.” Students studied many of the same subjects learned in school today. In school, math was difficult. Students learned how to speak, how to write, how to tell time, how to use and count money, and other lessons designed(设计) to help them in everyday life.
While the kids were in school and the mothers and daughters did the chores at home, the fathers spent a few hours working each day. Below are some of the typical jobs:
Farming
Baking (烘焙) Building
Selling and trading goods

How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English, or you have to use your first language? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first finger, which they extend or stick out. Then they extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb to count to five. They then repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and the others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal（土著的）people in Australia. These people don’t have movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees” “more trees”, or “many trees”. Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.
Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量), not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too. 57. The writer begins with the four questions in order to __________.
A. make a survey B. interest readers C. tell a story D. solve math problems
58. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China?
A. People from China count much faster than people from the U.S.

For some people, going to a museum is a nice and interesting experience. For others, it’s just several hours’ time of being bored.
Museums are treasure troves (宝库). But how to make museums and their lifeless historical collections more attractive is a hard question that is worth thinking about.
National treasure (《国家宝藏》), a TV program which began to perform on Dec, 3 last year, tries to interest people in museums and the collections they hold. To make ancient relics (文物) come alive, the program shows treasures through different artistic methods, and completely explains the stories and history behind each cultural relic, so that audiences(观众) can not only understand how to enjoy the beauty of cultural relics, but also know the

civilization(文明) they carry and the spirit of Chinese culture remained over the years.
The show uses different methods, including dramatic(戏剧性的) performances and documentary-style storytelling, to show the background stories of several national treasures. Each treasure is shown by “national treasure keepers”, both celebrities(名人) and common people. While telling the mysteries behind the treasures, the “national keepers” also have their own stories.
Hong Kong actor Tony Leung, for example, calls himself a “half Forbidden City(故宫) man” because he spent a lot of time at the Palace Museum when making the 1983 movie Region Behind a Curtain(《垂帘听政》), in which he played Emperor Xian Feng. On the show, he is the keeper of the Palace Museum’s 2,300-year-old stone drum and performs as famous statesman(政治家) Sima Guang from the Northern Song Dynasty.
In fact, shows about ancient relics have become more popular in recent years. The popularity of a 2016 documentary, Masters in Forbidden City(《我在故宫修文物》), encouraged 15,000 college students to apply(申请) to work at the Palace Museum last year. The show National Treasure will touch millions people’s hearts and encourage more people to visit museums.
66. When did National Treasure begin to perform on TV?
__________________________________________________________________ 67. How does the program show the background stories of national treasures? __________________________________________________________________ 68. Is Tony Leung one of the national treasure keepers in the show?
__________________________________________________________________
69. Do you think these TV programs like National Treasure will truly help encourage more people to visit museums? Why or why not?
