He told at a meeting of regional leaders that his countrys growth_rate_had_tumbled “a bit too much”“Chinas inflation is also declining, so we need to be very careful to see if the disinflation trend will continue, and if deflation will happen or not,” said Zhou. His remarks were made at the Boao Forum for Asia, an annual conference on the island of Hainan in southern China. Zhou added that China could “have room to act” by taking “quantitative measures” and setting interest rates.For many, the way he described Chinas health was no surprise. The countrys economy has not been growing this slowly since the 1990s. Companies in debt are seeing sickly profit margins. Banks are carrying loads of debt, too, and the housing market is slowing. Chinas official 2020 GDP growth target is 7%, but that seems shaky.Acknowledging that significant intervention has to be on the table is a big deal for China. Everyone has known for years that this slowdown was coming because the government is purposely transitioning its economy from one based on foreign investment to one based on domestic consumption. It is a brutal process, but the government knows it is the only way the country will become the selfsustaining superpower it wants to be.(Barlcays) Until now, while the Chinese government had acknowledged the slowdown was rough, it had assured the world that the situation was under control. Just a few weeks ago, Chinese officials were saying they would be monitoring deflation but still were not that keen on intervening with policy measures.Now it seems they are warming to the idea. In January, Chinas headline consumer price inflation hit 0.8%, then it bounced back up to 1.4% in February. March probably isnt looking that great either from the Peoples Bank of Chinas point.“Widening PPI deflation and soft CPI inflation, especially after adjusting for seasonal effects, point to persistent deflation risks,” Barclays wrote after Februarys number came out.“In our view, the monetary policy needs to be more proactive in order to deal with the cyclical challenges in the near term.”1Which of the following illustrates “growth rate had tumbled” in Paragraph 1?ASetting interest rates.BEconomic transition.CBounce of CPI. DFIGURE 1.2We can infer from the passage that one of the solutions to the slowdown could be_if needed.Amonitoring deflationBexpanding foreign investmentCmaking new policy measuresDreducing domestic consumption3.Whats the main idea of the passage?AZhous admission is a big deal and a little bit irresponsibleBThe Chinese government has admitted that things arent going so wellCChina should be more active in its struggle against inflationDChinas economy has been growing fast since the 1990sB(2020·無錫市普通高中高三期末考試)When Major Mary Jennings Hegar was serving as a captain in Afghanistan, her aircraft was shot down by enemy fire while she and her crew were taking back injured soldiers. Though injured, she completed the rescue mission (任務(wù)) while under fire on the ground and received the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross for “outstanding heroism and selfless devotion to duty”However, Hegar did not get credit for serving in combat (戰(zhàn)斗), for it is illegal for women to be in official combat positions and to get the benefits that come with them. Hegar and three other servicewomen filed a lawsuit (訴訟) in federal court in San Francisco on Nov. 27 in a longoverdue challenge to the Pentagons (五角大樓) ban.Women have always served in the military (and lost their lives), but Congress and the Pentagon have limits on them. In 1988 the military adopted the “risk rule”, which allowed women to be kept out of even noncombat positions if they were likely to be at risk of being fired on or captured (被俘). In 1994 it dropped that rule, but then Secretary of Defense Les Aspin adopted the ban on placing women in official ground combat positions, after a poll showed weak public support for allowing women to volunteer for combat.Many military women who constitute 14% of the 1.4 million active members of the military object to the policy because it stops them from applying for some 238,000 jobs and excludes (排除) them from certain promotions. It is particularly unfair because it doesnt protect women in service. Fully 85% of women, who have served since Sept. 11, report having served in a combat zone or an area where they were faced with combat or immediate danger according to the lawsuit, and half reported being involved in combat operations. At least 860 female troops have been wounded and 144 killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.In fact, as Hegars suit argues, the ban actually puts women in greater danger. In many cases, women fight alongside men in “female engagement teams” that endure the same conditions, but because they are thought not combat eligible (有資格的) they may not have received proper training.The ban does another bad thing: drive talented women out of service. Hegar says she is asked to leave the Air National Guard for a Reserve Liaison position because she is excluded from jobs she would like to apply for. Another woman who is suing, Captain Alexandra Zoe Bedell who was sent twice to Afghanistan, left active duty last year, because of the combat exclusion policy.It is hard to see how the Pentagon could meet this burden. Clearly, women are capable of taking challenging, dangerous combat assignments, because as the careers of Hegar and others like her have shown they are doing it now. The Pentagons policy is based on “outdated idea of women”, just the sort of thing the Constitution forbids.But the Pentagon should not wait for the courts to order it to treat female service members equally. There can be little doubt that a court will eventually do just that and little doubt that, in the very near future, the nocombat rule, like the racial segregation (隔離) of troops and “Dont ask, dont tell” will seem like an ancient relic (遺物) of unenlightened (愚昧無知的) times.4What can we know about Major Mary Jennings Hegar from the first paragraph?AShe failed in the rescue mission.BHer deeds were awarded by authorities.CWhile taking back the injured soldiers some crew died.DWhen she was serving as a captain her aircraft crashed.5The underlined word “constitute” in the fourth paragraph means _.Atake upBmake upCset upDbuild up6Many military women objected to the policy mainly because _.Ait had an effect on womens rightsBit was unfair to protect women in serviceCit prevented them from some jobs and promotionsDit was opposed to womens volunteering for combat7.What does the writer want to tell us in the last two paragraphs?APentagon should stop the ban immediately.BPentagon will not obey the courts decision.CPentagon should have more women soldiers.DThe public should be patient with the Pentagon.8Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?AHegar was popular with other military women.BThe ban in fact reduced the number of the wounded.CWomen can carry out dangerous combat assignments.DPentagons policy treated military men and women equally.C(2020·蘇錫常鎮(zhèn)高三聯(lián)考)In the past, writing wasnt very common in West Africa. In fact, none of the major early civilizations of West Africa developed a written language. Arabic was the only written language they used. The lack of a native written language does not mean that the people of West Africa didnt know their history, though. They passed on their tradition orally. An oral history is a spoken record of past events. The task of remembering and telling West Africas history was given to storytellers.The storytellers of early West Africa were called griots. They enjoyed high social status because the people of West Africa were very interested in the deeds of their ancestors. Griots helped keep this history alive for each new generation.The griots stories were both entertaining and informative. They told of important past events and of the accomplishments of distant ancestors. For example, some stories explained the rise and fall of the West African empires. Other stories described the actions of powerful kings and warriors (勇士). Some griots made their stories livelier by acting out the events like scenes in a play.In addition to stories, the griots recited proverbs, or short sayings of wisdom or truth. They used proverbs to teach lessons to the people. One West African proverb warns, “Talking doesnt fill the basket on the farm.” This proverb reminds people that they must labor to accomplish things. It is not enough for people just to talk about what they want to do.In order to tell their stories and proverbs, the griots memorized hundreds of names and events. Through this memorization process the griots passed on West African history from generation to generation. However, some griots confused names and events in their heads. When this happened, the facts of some historical events became distorted.9According to the first two paragraphs,_.Athe griots were good at making up storiesBWest Africans didnt use a written languageCWest Africans knew little about their historyDthe griots were highly respected in West Africa10The fourth paragraph is developed_.Aby exampleBby spaceCby time Dby comparison11The underlined word “distorted” in the last paragraph means “_”Aknown BuntrueClost Dimportant12What do we know about the griots?ATheir job required a good memory.BMost of them had a talent for acting.CThey still enjoy popularity nowadays.DTheir stories focused on the life of the kings.13.The passage is mainly about_.Awhy storytellers appeared in West AfricaBan unusual profession in West AfricaChow the griots helped preserve historyDthe early civilizations of West Africa答 案語篇解讀:本文是一篇新聞報道。主要內(nèi)容是中國政府承認經(jīng)濟增速放緩這一事實。1選D推理判斷題。題干中的illustrate意為“(用示例、圖畫等)說明,解釋”。根據(jù)文章并結(jié)合畫線短語中的“tumble”(跌落)可知,文中的圖表能夠說明“增速下跌”。故答案選D。2選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句可知,制定新政策是應(yīng)對經(jīng)濟增速放緩的一個解決方法。故答案選C。3選B主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中“Zhou Xiaochuan, governor . was not going as planned.”以及第五段中“the Chinese government had acknowledged the slowdown was rough .”并結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容可知,本文的主要內(nèi)容是中國政府承認經(jīng)濟增速放緩的事實。故答案選B。語篇解讀:本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。雖然女兵和男兵一樣都可以在戰(zhàn)斗中執(zhí)行任務(wù),但是美國的五角大樓和國會卻都限制女兵參戰(zhàn),使得女兵沒有戰(zhàn)斗資格,不能做同男兵一樣的工作,不能升職。Mary Hegar和其他幾名女兵起訴了五角大樓的禁令。4選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第一句可知,當(dāng)時飛機是在她和隊員運回傷員時被擊落的,且沒提到有人死亡,因此C項和D項錯誤;根據(jù)第一段第二句可知,盡管受傷了但她仍然完成了任務(wù),為此她也受到了嘉獎,因此可以推斷,A項錯誤,B項正確,她的行為得到了權(quán)威機構(gòu)的嘉獎。故答案選B。5選B詞義猜測題。分析畫線單詞“constitute”所在的句子可知,who引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾先行詞women。該詞后面接了“14% of the 1.4 million active members of the military”,在四個選項中只有“make up(組成,占)”可以與其連用。6選C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第一句中的“object to the policy because . and excludes (排除) them from certain promotions”可知,許多女兵反對這項政策主要是因為它會阻礙女兵們申請工作和升職。故答案選C。7選A段落大意題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句和最后一段第一句可知,五角大樓的這項規(guī)定是基于一種對女性的過時的看法而制定的,但是他們不應(yīng)該等著國會通過才平等地對待女兵。因此最后兩段主要是說五角大樓應(yīng)該立即停止這項限制女兵的禁令。故答案選A。8選C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第二句“Clearly, women are capable of taking . they are doing it now.”可知,女兵同樣可以出色地執(zhí)行危險的戰(zhàn)斗任務(wù)。故答案選C。語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。介紹了西非的歷史通過史詩演唱藝人們而得以流傳。9選D細節(jié)理解題。由第二段的“The storytellers of early West Africa were called griots. They enjoyed high social status”可知,史詩演唱藝人社會地位高,受人尊敬。10選A文段結(jié)構(gòu)題。第四段以一條諺語為例,對該段的主要內(nèi)容進行了說明。11選B詞義猜測題。聯(lián)系前一句“However, some griots confused names and events in their heads.”可知,有些史詩演唱藝人會把歷史信息搞混,因此一些史實會被歪曲。故此處distorted可以被理解為untrue。12選A推理判斷題。西非的史詩演唱藝人不僅需要記住很多歷史故事,還需要背誦格言、諺語等,故他們需要有很強的記憶力。13選C主旨大意題。西非的史詩演唱藝人們通過口頭傳播的方式保存了他們的歷史,本文對此進行了說明。
