29、解讀：本文是一篇新聞報道。報道了中國出口的很多產(chǎn)品都被查出有質(zhì)量問題。這些質(zhì)量問題已嚴重影響了中國產(chǎn)品的國際聲譽。 1．選D　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段的前兩句可知，針對巴拿馬政府查出的中國產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量問題，中國國內(nèi)有三家相關(guān)公司被關(guān)閉，食品藥品管理部門的領(lǐng)導也被撤職了。故選D。 2．選B　推理判斷題。分析本文可推知，“中國制造”的產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量安全問題受到世界上很多國家懷疑。故選B。 3．選A　主旨大意題。根據(jù)主題句——第一段第一句可知，本文主要說明中國制造的產(chǎn)品面臨著嚴重的質(zhì)量問題。故選A。 4．選A　指代判斷題。根據(jù)本段第一句中的主語“China”可知，此處的it指代前一句中的主語Chi

30、na。故選A。 語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報道。為了使人口不會大幅下降，以致影響到國家的整體發(fā)展，中國及時調(diào)整了計劃生育政策，推出了二胎新政策，即一方是獨生子女的夫婦可生育兩個孩子。 5．選C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)本文倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，中國人口基數(shù)大，如果控制不好生育政策，有可能會造成人口大爆炸，人口大爆炸并不是之前計劃生育政策所帶來的問題，所以C項表述錯誤。故選C。 6．選A　詞義猜測題。畫線詞所在的句子是在解釋新政策的原因，由此可推知，目前需要更高的出生率來彌補過去過低的出生率及快速老齡化造成的勞動力減少，compensate for 意為“補償，彌補”，與offset意思相近。故選

31、A。 7．選B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“...we should adjust ... development of the country.”可知，我們應調(diào)整政策，為了使人口不會如此大幅下降，以至于影響國家的整體發(fā)展。由此可推知，平衡的人口增長有利于中國的整體發(fā)展。故選B。 8．選D　推理判斷題。本文是關(guān)于我國計劃生育新政策方面的介紹，顯然不屬于科幻小說、書評或者婚姻指南，而是一篇新聞報道。故選D。 語篇解讀：本文為一篇新聞報道。美國和加拿大因遭受冰暴而使很多戶家庭斷電，維修人員正在努力為50多萬戶家庭恢復供電。 9．選C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知，在加拿大導致死亡的主要原因是一氧化碳中毒。 10．選A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第一句可知，求助電話猛增是因為氣溫急劇下降，人們因取暖導致一氧化碳中毒的事件增多。 11．選A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段 “Canadian officials warned that some customers could be without power until Saturday.”可推知，電力維修工作目前還沒有完成。 12．選B　標題判斷題。本文為新聞報道，主旨在第一段，主要介紹了因冰暴很多人遭遇斷電，維修人員正在搶修的事件，因此B項為最佳標題。
