2．China is a country having the largest population in the world，with more than1.4 billion people.However，it's shown that China's birth rate（率） is dropping.
According to the NBS（国家统计局），10.62 million babies were born in 2021，a birth rate of 7.52 per 1，000 people.This is down from a rate of 8.52 per 1，000 people in 2020.
This means the natural growth rate of the population was just 0.34 per 1，000 people.It is the lowest since China's Great Famine（饥荒） from 1959 to 1961，which killed about 30 million people and caused a population decline.
Ning Jizhe of the NBS told state media some of the reasons for the decline in births are that people's opinions about having children have changed，birth rates are dropping，and young people are taking longer to get married.Also，the high cost of living in cities is discouraging couples from having more children.
Another problem is that the population is aging faster than expected.China's working-age population is already dropping.This suggests China's total population may have reached its peak（顶点）in 2021.It also shows China's population growth is likely slowing faster than expected.
（1）What was China's birth rate in 2020？
A．7.52 per 1000 people.
B．8.52 per 1000 people.
C．7.18 per 1000 people.
D．0.34 per 1000 people.
（2）What does the underlined word "decline" in paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Change.
B．Fall.
C．Rise.
D．Level.
（3）Which may be a reason for China's dropping birth rate according to Ning Jizhe？
A．The cost of living in cities is high.
B．Young people no longer get married.
C．Having children changes people's ideas.
D．There are too many old people to care for.组卷：5引用：1难度：0.8 -
3．If you keep a dog or a cat，do you always turn on the radio or TV when you're not in just because you don't want your pet to be lonely（孤单的）？A study shows that around 40%of the British people with dogs would like to turn the radio and that 32% would like to turn on the television.But do pets really like this？
Sometimes dogs do respond（作出反应） to human（人类） music.A study shows that when there is light music playing，many dogs seem to be quiet.When it comes to rock music，those dogs seem to be very excited.
For cats，they hardly respond to human music because their hearing spectrum（频谱） is different from that of humans，so what they hear is different from what we hear.Scientists once tried to see what would happen if they played "cat music"for the cats.They asked Professor（教授） David Teie to make special music for cats.And it showed that when they're playing it to 47 cats，some cats did respond
to it.
So，you'd better play different music for your pets.Good news for cat lovers is that you can buy such special cat music online.David Teie once took part in the cat study and he wrote cat music for sale online.
（1）Why do some people leave the radio or TV on for their pet？
A．To do a study on pets.
B．To stop it being noisy.

（2）Which of the following is TRUE？
A．Pets like to listen to the same music.

A．How can we look after pets？

C．Where can we buy special cat music？
D．Do dogs and cats like human music？组卷：2引用：1难度：0.5 -
4．Without classes and exams，summer vacation is an ideal time for Australian kids.To me，it means much more than not going to school.It's also a good opportunity to spend time with my family because I have little time with them during the school year.
Last summer I travelled with my family to the Hawkesbury River in Western Sydney.It was one of the most interesting summer vacations of my life.
Staying by the river helped us run away from the hot weather and noise of the city.Everybody played，including（包括） my grandparents，parents，brothers and sisters.First，we went water-skiing，then we enjoyed wakeboarding and other activities.These activities brought our family closer together.
In the warm afternoon，we quietly read a favorite book under a tree by the river.The days always ended with a campfire.Everyone sat around the fire talking and laughing.
The river is an enjoyable place for you to forget about all the worries of everyday life and just enjoy the moment.To me，it is a wonderful place to spend time together as a family during one of the best times of the year.I can't help thinking about those days again and again，even so many months later.
