BEducation.CEconomy. DCulture.In the latter part of the 20th century, child labor remains a serious problem in many parts of the world. Studies carried out in 1979, the International Year of the Children, showed that more than 50 million children below the age of 15 were working in various jobs often under dangerous conditions. Many of these children live in underdeveloped countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Their living conditions are crude and their chances for education small. The poor income they bring in, however, is necessary for the survival of their families. Frequently, these families lack the basic necessities of lifeadequate food, decent clothing and shelter, and even water for bathing.In some countries industrialization has created working conditions for children that are comparable to the worst features of the 19th-century factories and mines. In India, for example, some 20,000 children work 16-hour days in match factories.Child-labor problems are not, of course, limited to developing nations. They occur wherever poverty exists in Europe and the United States. The most important efforts to eliminate（根除）child-labor abuses throughout the world come from the International Labor Organization (ILO), founded in 1919 and now a special agency of the United Nations. The organization has introduced several child-labor conventions（规定）among its members, including a minimum age of 16 years for admission to all work, a higher minimum age of specific types of employment, compulsory（强制的）medical examinations, and It depends on voluntary obedience of member nations.8The use of children workers is the most serious _.Ain the latter part of the 20th centuryBin the International Year of the Child in 1979Cin the poorest and backward parts of the worldDin some areas of Latin America9Often children have to work because _.Athey can not afford to go to schoolBthey are forced to work by their parentsCthere is no organization to protect themDthey have to provide for their families10According to the UN conventions, _.Aemployers should provide medical care for children workersBchildren can not be employedCchildren should never be arranged to work at nightDall countries should give children workers regular physical examinations11As far as child labor is concerned, in India, _.Achildren workers work the longest hoursBthe working conditions for children are really very badCmost children workers are employed in match factoriesDthere has been great improvement in the working condition since the last centuryPerhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Lius imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadnt expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fictions highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur CClarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. Its the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur CClarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarkes 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”But no matter how far away Lius imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Lius works arent simply daydreams.12What do we know about Liu Cixin?AHe became a full-time writer when he was young.BHe dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.CHe is the first Asian to win the Arthur CClarke Award.DHe is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.13Liu Cixins words are used mainly to show _.Ahis interest in mysteries of the universeBhis love of reading science fictionChis confusion when he started writingDhis feeling after reading Clarkes work14Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?ATo compare the different writing styles in the two books.BTo explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.CTo show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.DTo prove that Liu Cixins works relate science to reality.15Whats the text mainly about?ALiu Cixins achievements and writing style.BLiu Cixins contributions to science fiction.CHow Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer.DHow Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.二、七选五We shouldnt judge a person by their appearance but we do. In fact, the experts say that when we meet someone for the first time we make a decision about what that person is like in three seconds. 16 One of the most important things we look at is clothes, but it isnt the brand of clothes that people wear that is important. The important thing is to wear the right clothes for the right places.Schools have always understood this and a lot of them ask their students to wear a uniform. Why? A lot of teachers think a uniform makes students feel that they are part of their school and that their form helps them to be serious about their studies. 17 If all the students wear uniforms, they cant judge each other because of their clothes. It also stops gossips about who or what is fashionable.18 We all have fixed ideas about what the people in a certain job should wear. If we visit a doctor, we hope to see respectable clothes under the doctors white coat. 19 Police officers wear uniforms to make themselves easily identifiable to non-police officers. In fact, a lot of companies have dress codes for their staff because they know that the customers hope to see them dressed in certain types of clothes.But can our clothes really tell people what we are like? 20 When people see us in the right clothes, they think we are serious about what we are doing. Furthermore, if we are clean, smart and polite, people will believe us a lot.AMaybe not, but they can show our attitude to what we are doing at the moment.BSome of the teachers hold different opinions.CBut what do we look at?DTeachers say that uniforms can help in other ways too.E. Our clothes stand for our attitude.F. However, it is not only schools that want people to dress in a certain way.G. When we go into a bank we expect the staff to wear suits or dresses.三、完形填空I believe I had the perfect life.
