When you see a picture of a sports stadium that looks like a bird’s nest (巢), you probably know it is the National Stadium in Beijing. When you see a picture of a famous concert hall that looks like a sailing ship, perhaps you know it is the Sydney Opera House in Australia. People can know the buildings like these easily in the world. That’s because they look like some ordinary things that we can often see in our daily lives. Other buildings do not need any imagination. They are made to look just like other things. Here are three buildings as examples. The shapes (形状) of the buildings can make people know what is inside.In Guizhou, China, people can visit the Meitan Tea Museum. This museum looks like a huge teapot. There is also a second building next door that is like a tea cup. When you look at it far away, it looks like a great work of art.People who are interested in guitars might want to visit the Guitar Museum in Tennessee, the USA.

In 2020, China had 1.412 billion people, and India had about 1 38 billion people. In fact, China’s population growth rate (人口增长率) started to slow down. But according to the World Population Prospects 2022 report, India’s population would become larger than China’s in 2023 at the earliest. And by 2050, India’s population would get to 1.7 billion.Why would this situation happen For China, it was because Chinese people know the importance of studying. More and more people wanted to learn knowledge at school and went to college (大学) to get further study. So they could increase the amount of their future money and had a better life. Because of that, most Chinese young people wouldn’t want to get married or had babies loo early. They wanted to make money first to give their future children a better living environment. So in recent years, China’s population growth rate would be lower.For India, because of different cultures and languages, it was difficult for the government to change the situation. What’s more, when a country was not rich, people in the country would probably get married and had babies at a young age. So India would perhaps have a bigger population.In fact, a large population has both good and bad sides. On the good side, it may improve technology and make the country stronger. On the bad side, it may cause environmental problems. So, as a country with a large population, China and India should make good use of the population. And the whole society (社会) should pay more attention to building a friendly society.12. When would India’s population be larger than China’s at the earliest A. In 2020. B. In 2022. C. In 2023. D. In 2024.13. What does the underlined word “increase” mean in Paragraph 2 A. Fall. B. Add. C. Return. D. Open.14. Why did most Chinese young people want to make money first A. To get a better job in the future.B. To help build a friendly society.C. To make their parents live a healthy life.D. To give their future children a better life.15. What is the purpose of the passage A. To tell the importance of studying.B. To ask young people to have children.C. To make population growth rate higher.D. To show some information about population.第二节 阅读填空(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)阅读短文及文后A-E选项,选出可以填入1-5各题空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Do you know the numbers “0” to “9” well They are numbers in Arabic numerals (阿拉伯数字).

In 2020, China had 1.412 billion people, and India had about 1 38 billion people. In fact, China’s population growth rate (人口增长率) started to slow down. But according to the World Population Prospects 2022 report, India’s population would become larger than China’s in 2023 at the earliest. And by 2050, India’s population would get to 1.7 billion.Why would this situation happen For China, it was because Chinese people know the importance of studying. More and more people wanted to learn knowledge at school and went to college (大学) to get further study. So they could increase the amount of their future money and had a better life. Because of that, most Chinese young people wouldn’t want to get married or had babies loo early. They wanted to make money first to give their future children a better living environment. So in recent years, China’s population growth rate would be lower.For India, because of different cultures and languages, it was difficult for the government to change the situation. What’s more, when a country was not rich, people in the country would probably get married and had babies at a young age. So India would perhaps have a bigger population.In fact, a large population has both good and bad sides. On the good side, it may improve technology and make the country stronger. On the bad side, it may cause environmental problems. So, as a country with a large population, China and India should make good use of the population. And the whole society (社会) should pay more attention to building a friendly society.12. When would India’s population be larger than China’s at the earliest A. In 2020. B. In 2022. C. In 2023. D.

To get a better job in the future.B. To help build a friendly society.C. To make their parents live a healthy life.D. To give their future children a better life.15. What is the purpose of the passage A. To tell the importance of studying.B. To ask young people to have children.C. To make population growth rate higher.D. To show some information about population.【文章大意】文章先是指出中国和印度都是世界人口大国,2020 年两国人口数量情况,且提到中国人口增长率开始放缓,而据相关报告印度人口最早在 2023 年将超过中国,到 2050 年印度人口将达 17 亿。接着分析了出现这种情况的原因,中国方面是人们重视学习,想先提升自身、赚取财富,为未来孩子营造更好生活环境,所以近年人口增长率降低;印度方面因文化、语言多样,政府较难改变现状,且国家不富裕时人们倾向早结婚生子。最后阐述了人口众多有好有坏两方面影响,呼吁中印两国应合理利用人口,全社会要更注重构建友好型社会。12.【答案】C13. 【答案】B14. 【答案】D15. 【答案】D第二节 阅读填空(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)阅读短文及文后A-E选项,选出可以填入1-5各题空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Do you know the numbers “0” to “9” well They are numbers in Arabic numerals (阿拉伯数字).
