The new two-child policy is making job hunting more difficult for women when about 40 percent of them said they were asked whether they planned to have a second child during job interviews, according to a report in Chongqing.

China dropped its decades-long one-child policy in October and allowed each family to have two children. The country now has about 270 million married women of childbearing age.

This change has put millions of career women in a dilemma between family and career. Employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have two childbearing leaves, seven to eight months altogether.

A human resources website www.job.cq.qq.com conducted a survey among 500 employers and 5,000 job seekers about how the two-child policy affects the job market.

Though two thirds of employers said the policy would make no difference to their recruitment(招聘), the survey showed that more than 70 percent of job seekers believe that bearing a second child will make women less popular in the job market. Forty percent of employers said they will give priority to married women with two children, according to the survey.

Lin Xia, 29, quit her job after giving birth to her first child. She is now preparing to return to work. After several inquiries at a job fair, she found that the employers are concerned about future birth plans. "I thought it would be easier to find a job after giving birth," she was quoted as saying by the website. "I had to answer whether I will have a second child before I could get a chance for a job interview."

Liang Siqi, 23, a college graduate, said although employers did not ask her the child question yet, she will not plan to have two children. "It (having two children) will definitely affect my career and personal life, so I will have only one," she said.

Zhou Jiansong, who is in charge of human resources at a large private high-tech group in Chongqing, said the company will discuss birth issues with interviewees in order to make a better work plans. "We fully respect a women's right to bear a child or two," he said. "But you don't want them to go on a childbearing leave soon after they join your company." The experts expect more labor dispute cases concerning childbearing leave rights when bearing a second child in future.

1.As for the influence of the new policy on working women, which of the following is TRUE?

A. They will find it more difficult to ask for a leave in a company.

B. Most of them will be forced to choose to have two children.

C. Many of them will stay at home instead of working outside.

D. Those who have two children may find it easier to get a job.

2.In the opinion of Zhou Jiansong, what will employers probably do when interviewing women interviewees?

A. They will pay no attention to women’s right to have a child or two.

B. They will let women interviewees make a future plan.

C. They may hope to know more about women interviewees’ childbearing plan.

D. They may expect more labor debate cases about interviewees’ second-child plan.

3.What can we infer from the report in the passage?

A. All the women surveyed in the passage are married.

B. The women bearing a second child get the same chance as before to get a job.

C. About 70 percent of the women were asked whether they planned to have a second child.

D. Bearing a second child affects the women’s career to some degree.

4.What is the writer’s attitude towards the new two-child policy?

A. Positive.B. Neutral.C. Indifferent.D. Critical.

This week at the British Science Festival, Prof Rory Wilson of Swansea University has been revealing (揭示) the secrets of the animal kingdom, including penguins’diving habits and the emotional(情感的) states of elephants.

“The problem with animals is that we often want to know things about them that they don’t want to tell us or that aren’t easy to find out. The only way to do it is to put something on the animal that will accompany it,” Prof Wilson said. Addressing a crowd of journalists, Prof Wilson said his work was all made possible by a small electronic chip (芯片) his team developed specifically to monitor animals in their private hours.

This chip contains pressure, temperature and light sensors—offering an extraordinary view of an animal’s life. The chip, Prof Wilson explained, does exactly what our smartphones or fitness monitors do, continually tracking and recording the wearer’s position and movements. “This is a novel written by an animal. It’s very exciting to be the first person to open that novel.” This earlier chip was about five times larger than the current version, 27mm across and 4mm thick—and weighing 1.2g.

So far the group at Swansea has recorded the lives of more than 1,000 animals and 100 different species. Prof Wilson said the whole enterprise was a team effort. His group consists of academics, postdocs and students, who spend months searching through all the data collected by the chips.

Presenting results from a chip on a penguin in Argentina, he said the penguin was a personal favorite; he still analyzes these birds’ data himself. Looking at the huge screen in Prof Wilson’s lab, we could see the penguin’s individual steps. A change in movement and a drop in temperature indicate the exact moment of a dive into the water. The sensors within the chip are so accurate that they can easily detect behaviors that humans might not notice—even offering deep understanding into some animals’ emotional state.

Think of the way we humans walk. If someone is happy, this can be reflected in our physical behavior—it is often said that they “have a spring in their step”. To observe if this sort of phenomenon also occurs in animals, Prof Wilson’s team analyzed the walking movement of elephants in a zoo. They realized that an elephant walking towards something it liked would walk in a particular way. When that same elephant though was made to go away from the thing it liked, it would walk in a different manner. “How well you can predict the behavior of animals and protect them is dependent on how well you understand the rules by which they’re working.” Prof Wilson said.

1.According to Prof Wilson, what contributes most to his team’s discovery?

A. The cooperation of experts from different fields.

B. The use of a special electronic chip.

C. The personal interest in penguins.

D. The special way of data analysis.

2.It can be learned from the passage that the sensors can ________.

A. evaluate stress resulting from animals’ fighting

B. examine penguins’ unusual behavior while diving

C. distinguish different walking manners of elephants

D. provide information about the animals’ inner feelings

3.Monitoring animals’ behavior helps ________.

A. set rules for them

B. control their behavior

C. change their habits

D. understand and protect them

4.Which is the best title of the passage?

A. Inspiring ‘Novels’ Written by a Group from Swansea University

B. Pioneering ‘Diaries’ Uncover the Secret Lives of Animals

C. Penguins and Elephants Tracked for Emotional State

D. Scientists Made a Breakthrough in Animal Study

In the United States and several other countries, 2.5 million children play baseball in an organization called Little League. They play on teams in their hometowns. Their parents and other adults in the community coach or instruct them and serve as umpires to make sure that everyone follows the rules. Local businesses give money for the ball fields and the uniforms. Local teams compete against each other and the winners get to play teams that are more distant. Eventually, the top teams go to the Little League World Series.

One hundred years after Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839, Little League got started in Pennsylvania. Three men started the game for neighborhood boys with a smaller playing field and fewer innings than adult baseball. Little League became popular after World War Ⅱ when the game spread across the United States. By 1955 it was played throughout North America and within five years it had spread to Europe. Children's baseball really caught on in Japan and Taiwan of China and teams from those areas won the World Series seven out of eight years. After this, the organization tried banning foreign teams from the World Series, but the ban came to an end after one year.

At first, Little League was only for boys aged nine to twelve. However, in 1974, the parents of girl baseball players brought a law suit. The courts ruled that Little League had to include both boys and girls. Later Little League added on softball and other games for teenagers up to age eighteen. Occasionally, a Little Leaguer becomes a professional player. For example, Gary Carter went from Little League to play nineteen seasons in the Major Leagues, ten of them as an All-Star player. By and large, youngsters play baseball for fun, but their parents are proud of them.

1.The mothers and fathers of Little League players ________.

A．play in the World Series

B．travel with coaches

C．give the teams money

D．help run the games

2.In what year did baseball come into being?

A．1739.B．1939.C．1955.D．1839.

3.Why do most players take part in Little League?

A．To play in the Major League.

B．To have fun.

C．They expect a profit from All－Star games.

D．They want to learn how to serve as umpires.

4.What is TRUE about players today?

A．Little League is only for neighborhood boys.

B．Girl players have to buy their suits.

C．Girls and boys can participate up to age eighteen.

D．Children can only play until age twelve.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2017屆遼寧重點(diǎn)高中協(xié)作校高三上期末考試英語(yǔ)卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Off the coast of Hawaii’s Big Island swim masses of colorful tropical fish. Some of these fish will be caught and sold, ending up in aquariums around the world. Is the industry putting populations of the fish at risk?

Scientists who have studied the Big Island fishery say it is well managed. Rules put in place more than 15 years ago have helped to protect the fish. Along 35% of the coastline, for example, fish collecting is banned. Two years ago, the state cut the number of fish species for the aquarium trade from hundreds to just 40.

Conservationist Robert Wintner objects to the findings. Wintner, who owns snorkel shops across Hawaii, started the Snorkel Bob Foundation to protect the island’s coral reefs(珊瑚礁). He says he simply doesn’t see yellow tang(刺尾魚) in the protected areas. “There should be millions of them,” he says. “Where are they?”

Wintner says people believe the numbers in reports. But few people have actually dived into the coral reefs to see for themselves how many fish can be found there. According to Wintner, the coral reefs along the coast should be filled with yellow tang, but they are “virtually empty”. Empty reefs are not good for tourism, Wintner points out, which brings out $800 million yearly. By contrast, the aquarium-fish trade brings out just $2 million yearly.

1.According to Robert Wintner, ________.

A. what the recent report says is wrong

B. there are millions of yellow tang off Hawaii’s Big Island

C. the yellow tang’s population off Hawaii coast is large

D. the yellow tang is sold merely for both food and the aquarium industry

2.Which of the following is caused by the empty reefs?

A. Worse tourism.

B. More fish death.

C. More hungry people.

D. Less swimming events.

3.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Who will Win the Debate?

B. Is the Tropical Fish Healthy?

C. How Should We Protect Tropical Fish?

D. Should the Sale of Tropical Fish be Banned?

The central problem of translating has always been if to translate literally or freely.The argument has been going on until at least the first century BC.Up to the beginning of the 19th century,many writers was preferred some kind of “free” translation:the spirit,not the letter; the message rather than the form;the matter not the manner.This was the often revolution slogan of writers who wanted the truth to be read and understand.Then at the turn of 19th century,the view translation was impossible gained some currency.If attempting at all,it must be as literally as possible.This view peaked the statements of an extreme “l(fā)iteralists” Walter Benjamin and Vladimir Nobokov.Now,the context has changed,but the basic problem remained.
