What is the population of China? There are more than a billion and three hundred million
people in China. It is almost one fifth of the world’s population. How to control the population

population growth has been and will be bad for our nation. Though laws(法律) have been

A
（2014 丹东中考）
Bookstores are second homes for readers. Although many people can now buy books online,
many readers still like the feeling in bookstores. They can touch(触摸) the books and smell the print.
In China, there are many special bookstores. Sanlian Taofen Bookstore became the first 24-
hour bookstore in Beijing at the beginning of April. Popular Holdings in Shanghai is a film-
themed bookstore. It has film books and posters. Eslite Bookstore in Taiwan often has activities
like talks with famous writers.
At the same time, bookstores outside China can be very colorful, too. Scarthin Books is a
small bookstore in the UK. It sells new and second-hand books. There are more than 100,000
books lying on the shelves of the store’s 12 rooms. Bart’s Books in
the US is a good place to enjoy the sunshine( 阳光) while reading
books. It’s an outdoor bookstore. Bookshelves are on the street.
When the store is closed, people can still buy books. They just put
money into the door’s coin box. Where can you find a café, bar and
bookstore in just one place? The answer is probably El Pendulo in
Mexico. Books line( 排列成行) the walls of the store. On the
second floor, visitors can order everyday meals in the café and drinks from the bar. In order to
keep cool, there are green plants and trees inside. Does it look like a park?

B
Most new babies were born in the developing countries. These countries are found in
Africa, South America and parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North
America, the population is growing very slowly. This is because women in these countries
have, on average (平均), only one or two children. In the developing countries, many
women have five or more children. In 1950, about one quarter of the world’s population
lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only about one
tenth of the world’s people.
In
the
developing
countries,
more
than
one
billion
people
are
still
living
below
the
poverty(
贫困
) line.
These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor
housing conditions. Children get little time at school and suffer (遭受痛苦) from many
kinds of diseases.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the world’s population was around six billion.
The U.N. has said that the world’s population will level off (平稳下降) at 12.5 billion by
the year 2100. Other groups think the world’s population will continue to grow, reaching
14 billion before it becomes stable (稳定的), or even falls.
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
6. In what areas of the world can developing countries be found?
________________________________________________
7. In 1950, what percent of the world’s population lived in developing countries?
________________________________________________
8. How to describe the people who are living below the poverty line?
________________________________________________
9. There will be twelve and a half billion people on the earth in 2100, won’t there?
________________________________________________
10. 将文中划线部分翻译成汉语。

【答案与解析】
I. 单项选择。
1.D。此句为so 引导的完全倒装句。其含义为“A 如此，B 也如此。”其结构是so+be/助
动词/情态动词+主语。本句为完成时态，其助动词是have。故选D。
2.A。此句要用相同成分即上海的人口和沈阳的人口做比较。因为population 是不可数名
词，所以用that 代替。如果是复数名词则要用those 来代替。
3.B。问人口的多少用what 或how large 而不用how many。本题问的是2005 年的人口，
所以用过去时态。
4.C。本题考查increase 的现在分词作定语的情况，表示“正在增长的”。increased 是它
的过去分词也可作定语，但表示的是“已增长过的”。
5.A。already“已经”，常用于完成时态肯定句中；yet“已经”，常用于完成时态的疑问
句和否定句中；still“仍，还”；once“一旦……”。根据题意“这个小女孩已经读完了
你借给她的书”选择A。
6.B。此题考查不及物动词happen 和take place 的用法, 不及物动词不能用于被动语态。
根据题中changes 是复数，答句用完成时态。故选B。
7.C。in order to 和because of 后面不能接从句，unless“除非”，不符合题意。本句主句和
从句之间是因果关系，故用because。
8.B。be going to do 表明只能选动词原形。take part in 意为“参加”，常指参加群众性的
活动、会议、劳动、游行等；join 意为“加入”，指加入某一党派、组织或社会团体，以
及参军等，并成为其中一员。根据句意“成为club 成员”,而不是“参加”某项活动,故不
能选A。
9. B。arrive in/at “到达”,in 后的宾语为大地点,at 后的宾语为小地点。在晚上用at night,故
选B。
10.B。考查spend some time doing sth. /on sth.结构,意为“某人花时间做某事”。
【真题链接】
1. B。根据句意可知前后句是转折关系，所以选but。
2. D。句意：他告诉记者他已经用光了买旧自行车的钱。run out of 用光，用完。put away
将……收起; turn off 关掉; take out 拿出; use up 用光，用完。根据句意，此处应该选择D 项。
3. C。句意：―你们学校的校规是什么？―不要在走廊里跑，上课不能迟到。答语中是两个
并列的祈使句，祈使句是以动词原形开头，否定形式是在其前面加don’t。根据句意和否定
祈使句的结构，可知应该选择C 项。
II. 完形填空。
1.D。本句中要用it 来作think 的形式宾语，真正的宾语是其后的不定式短语，即主语+
谓语+it+adj.+to do sth. 的形式。
2.C。本句考查“agree with sb”这一结构，表示“同意……的意见”。
3.A。本句中make it known to 是较为正式的习惯用语，表示“把某事向……公布或发表”。
4.B。根据题意本句是条件状语从句，所以排除时间状语从句引导词C 项。unless“除非，
如果不”，if 不合题意，if not 不能引导从句。故选B。
5.A。本句考查die of+n 短语，意思是“死于……”，表示死的原因，die 后既可接介词
of，也可接 from, 两者的区别是：若死因存在于人体之上或之内（主要指疾病、衰老等自
身的原因)，一般用介词 of。如：die of illness;若死因不是存在人体之内或之上，而是由环
境造成的(主要指事故等方面的外部原因)，一般用介词 from。如：die from an earthquake;
若死因是环境影响到体内，即两方面共有的原因，则可用of, from 均可。如：die of
/froma drink / hunger and cold。
6.B。本句指法律被通过，动词选用pass，又是被动语态用be+过去分词，故选B。
7.B。本句中谓语动词是单数并与上句呈对比关系，所以排除A、C、D，应选B 项。
8.C。本句考查make sb. do sth. 这一结构。
9.C 。表示“ 不再” 有两种结构，一种是not … any longer/any more ，另一种是no
longer/more，此处应考虑第二种结构，而no longer 表示时间上的“不再”，no more 表示
频率上的“不再”。根据题意，应指的是时间上的“不再”。
10.A。本句考查not … until 这一结构。
III. 阅读理解。
A

光) while reading books. It’s an outdoor bookstore. Bookshelves are on the street. When the store
