Although, the crown (王冠) of the world’s most populous (人口稠密的) country is on China’s head for ten years. India will take the position by 2030.

A change to its population policy(人口政策）for the world's most populated country(人口最多的国家), that is where we start this new week on CNN (美国有线新闻网络，以提供即时电视新闻报导而闻名)STUDENT NEWS.

China introduced(提出） its so-called one-child policy(独生子女政策） in the late 1970s. It's been believed to help control China's population growth(控制人口增长). It's also been against for forcing(强迫) parents to make difficult personal choices(选择）, or in some cases（某些情况） face huge fines（面临巨额罚款).

The policy said that in big cities or towns, parents could only have one child, although（尽管) there were some exceptions(例外), for example, the famous director Zhang Yimou, who was ordered to pay the heavy fines for his three children.

The new rule(法规) says that if either parent(父母亲一方) is an only child, then they are able to have two children of their own.

One reason for the change is economics(经济).

In China, many people care for their elderly relatives, so a single(单个的) child could not afford (能做)to look after his parents and grandparents. This new policy could help with that.

Another reason, China says it wants to improve human rights(改善人权).

1.Which may be the best title of the article?___________.

A. The one-child policy　　 B. The population policy

C. The human rights D. China's population growth

2.Where can you get this news _______.

A. on TV　　　　 B. from your books　　　　 C. from a magazine　　　 D. in the newspaper

3.Which of the following is not true?

A. China is the world's most populated country.

B. The one-child policy did help control China's population growth.

C. All the families in big cities only have one child.　

D. There is a change to China’s population policy.

4.We can infer(推断）from the article that the next paragraph（段落) is about ___________.

A. the population growth　 B. the population policy

C. the economic change　　 D. the human rights

The population of the world is increasing rapidly. By 2020, there could be 7.5 billion people on the earth. Will there be enough food for all these people? Some scientists think fish farming might solve this problem. However, other scientists worry that fish farming could bring serious environmental problems.

Fish farming is not a new thing. There were fish farms in China 3,000 years ago. Today, about one third of the fish we eat comes from fish farms.

Most fish farms raise plant-eating fish. Popular kinds of plant-eating fish are carp, tilapia, and catfish. However, many fish farms are starting to raise meat-eating fish. A popular type of meat-eating fish is salmon. However, it takes up to 5 tons of wild fish to produce just 1 ton of farm-raised salmon. So if this continued, many types of wild fish could become extinct.

Critics (评论家) of fish farming also say that farm-raised fish is unhealthy. They say there are dangerous chemicals (化学物质) in the fish. They also say fish farming pollutes the water. Some people say that the ways of farming being used now won’t produce enough fish anyway. Instead of building fish farms in lakes or near the coast, they say that the fish farms could be moved far out into the ocean. In the future, fish farms might be large cages that move to the ocean.

1.Which of the following about fish farming is true?

A. It is very popular around the world.

B. It is a new thing in 2010.

C. It appeared in China about thirty centuries ago.

D. It can solve the problem of the world’s population.

2._________ is not a kind of plant-eating fish.

A. Carp　　 　　　　 B. Catfish

C. Tilapia　　　　　 D. Salmon

3.What does the underlined word “extinct” mean?

A. 绝种的　　　　 B. 无家可归的

C. 弱小的　　 　　 D. 惊慌失措的

4.How many reasons do the critics hold against the fish farming?

A. 2.　　 B. 3.　　　 C. 4.　　　　　 D. 5.

5. What’s the passage mainly about?

A. One way to control the growth of population.

B. One way to feed more people.

C. One way to catch more fish.

D. One way to save the wild fish.
