Question

“Mainland couples who give birth to a second child in Hong Kong will be fined for breaking the family planning policy.” a senior official has warned. As more women flock to Hong Kong to give birth to their second child, Zhang Feng, family planning department director of Guangdong Province, stressed that this violated China’s policies. “And those who are government employees will even be dismissed from their posts.” he said.

''It doesn't matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland or in other countries and regions; they have violated the country's policies and the province's regulations''.

He said that some families had been punished in the past few months after having a second child in Hong Kong, but gave no details.

Zhang made his remarks when a Hong Kong newspaper carried a controversial notice claiming residents' medical services had been affected by the growing number of mainland women who arrive in the city to give birth and gain right of abode (居住) there.

According to statistics revealed by Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, about 88,000 babies were born in Hong Kong in 2010, but more than 41,000 or 47 percent, were to mainland couples, including a large number from Guangdong.

Hong Kong has limited the number of mainland women permitted to give birth in the city at 34,000 this year.

The issue also has caused calls for an amendment(修正) to Hong Kong's Basic Law so that babies born to mainland women are no longer granted permanent right of abode.

''I support Hong Kong government's decision to reduce or limit the number for mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong.'' Zhang said.

China introduced its family planning policy in 1979 to limit births in the world's most populous nation, although the rules have been relaxed in recent years.

【解析】

试题分析：本文描述了当前的社会现象：为了躲避计划生育政策的惩罚，很多大陆的妇女到香港生二胎。现在香港考虑禁止内地孕妇到公立医院分娩，这项措施会导致香港基本法的修正。

1.细节理解题。从第一段的句子“Zhang Feng，family planning department director of Guangdong Province”可知Zhang Feng是广东省计划生育办的主任，A 项表述正确；根据第一段的最后一句“And those who are government employees will even be dismissed from their posts.”可知B项表述不正确；根据第一段的第一句“Mainland couples who give birth to a second child in Hong Kong will be fined for breaking the family planning policy.”可知C项表述不全面；根据第二段可知D项表述不对。选A。

2.猜测词义题。从第二段的句子''It doesn't matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland or in other countries and regions, they have violated the country's policies and the province's regulations''.可知在大陆和其他国家地区生二胎是违反国家的计划生育政策的，violate违反，与go against意思相近，选B。

3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的句子“I support Hong Kong government's decision to reduce or limit the number for mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong.”可知Zhang Feng赞同香港减少或限制大陆妇女到香港生孩子的数量，与C项表述相符，选C。

4.细节理解题。根据第五段的内容可知A项表述不正确；根据第七段内容可知B项表述不正确；根据第六段“Hong Kong has limited the number of mainland women permitted to give birth in the city at 34,000 this year.”可知被允许在香港生孩子的大陆妇女的数量减少了，C项表述正确；根据最后一段的内容可知D项表述不正确。选C。

5.推理判断题。通读全文可知，一些人到香港生二胎，是想让婴儿获得在港的居住权或享受香港的良好的医疗服务，或躲避违反计划生育政策的惩罚。根据第七段“The issue also has caused calls for an amendment to Hong Kong's Basic Law so that babies born to mainland women are no longer granted permanent right of abode.”可知到香港生二胎的人不是为了要求修正香港基本法。而这种情况导致了香港基本法的修正，D表述有误。故选D。
