【分析】这篇短文主要收集了不同人对中国变化的看法。一位来自印度的朋友认为，中

国从一个发展中国家，物资短缺的状态，发展到如今使740多万人口摆脱贫困，情况越

来越好。另一位退休的中国男士，曲先生，表示现在出国旅行变得更加容易且并不昂贵。

最后，一位名叫小李的大学生则对比了过去和现在的教育状况，认为现在的孩子面临着

更大的学习压力，有自己的休闲和运动时间成了一种奢侈。

【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据表一第二段Chinahaslifted740millionpeopleoutofpoverty

(贫困)inthelastfourdecades(十年).(在过去的40年里，中国使7.4亿人摆脱了贫

困。)可知在过去的40年里，中国使7.4亿人摆脱了贫困。故选A。

(2)细节理解题。根据表二第一段"It'smucheasiertotraveltoforeigncountriesnow,andit's

notveryexpensive."("现在去国外旅行容易多了，而且也不太贵。")可知这位老人认为

出国旅游更容易，更便宜。故选B。

(3)细节理解题。根据表二第三段Also,whenIwasinmiddleschool,Ihadtogetupat6

a.m.anddidn'tgethomeuntil9p.m.(还有，当我上中学的时候，我必须早上6点起床，直

到晚上9点才回家。)可知小李在中学的晚上九点到家。故选A。

(4)词义猜测题。根据表二最后一段Now,eachparentwantstheirchildtoreceiveabetter

education,andwithmoreparentssendingtheirchildrentoafter-schoolclasses,astrange,

tiringandendlesscompetitionhasappeared.Soitisagreatluxuryforchildrentohavetheir

owntimetorelaxanddosports.（现在，每个父母都希望他们的孩子接受更好的教育，随

着越来越多的父母把孩子送到补习班，一种奇怪的、累人的、无休止的竞争出现了。所

以对孩子来说，有自己的时间放松和做运动是一件很奢侈的事情。）可知划线单词的意思

是”奢侈二故选B。

（5）推理判断题。根据文章第一段Herearedifferentopinionsfromdifferentpeopleon

China*changes.（以下是不同人对中国变化的不同看法。）可推出文章应该来自报纸。故

选C。
