In a plicy address t lawmakers, Japan’s Prime Minister, Fumi Kishida, said the cuntry’s ppulatin prblem was a case f slving the issue “nw r never”, and that it “simply cannt wait any lnger because it can affect scial functins”.
“In thinking f the sustainability and inclusiveness f ur natin’s ecnmy and sciety, we place child care supprt as ur mst imprtant plicy,” he said, adding that he wants the gvernment t duble its spending n child-related prgrams, and that a new gvernment agency wuld be set up in April t fcus n the issue.
Japan has ne f the lwest birth rates in the wrld, and it recrded fewer than 800,000 births in 2022 fr the first time since recrds began in 1899. The cuntry als has ne f the highest life expectancies in the wrld; in 2020, nearly ne in 1,500 peple in Japan were age 100 r lder, accrding t gvernment data.
These trends have driven a grwing ppulatin prblem, with a rapidly aging sciety, a shrinking wrkfrce and nt enugh yung peple t fill the gaps in the stagnating（停滞）ecnmy. The cuntry’s high cst f living, limited space and lack f child care supprt in cities make it difficult t raise children, meaning fewer cuples are having kids. Experts pint t the pessimism yung peple in Japan hld twards the future, many frustrated with wrk pressure and ecnmic stagnatin.
Hw abut ther parts f East Asia? Suth Krea recently brke its wn recrd fr the wrld’s lwest birth rate, with data frm Nvember 2023 shwing a Suth Krean wman will have an average f 0.79 children in her lifetime — far belw the 2.1 needed t maintain a stable ppulatin. Japan’s birth rate stands at 1.3, while the United States is at 1.6. Meanwhile, China’s ppulatin shrank in 2022 fr the first time, adding pressure t its ecnmic grwth.
28. Hw des the Japanese gvernment feel abut the falling birth rate?
A. Surprised.B. Cnfused.
C. Embarrassed.D. Wrried.
Which f the fllwing has led the birth rate in Japan t decline? A. The rapidly aging sciety.
B. The high life expectancies. C. The shrtage f wrkfrce. D. The varius stresses f life.
What are the statistics in the last paragraph used t shw?
A. Ignrance f the birth rate.
B. Serius ppulatin crisis.
C. Weak care services fr children.
D. Ptential harm t wmen’s health.
31. In which sectin f a newspaper may this text appear?

Scientists have fund a new way t break dwn a grup f harmful chemicals very hard t get rid f. The
discvery culd help slve a dangerus and grwing prblem — hw t clean up the pllutin f “frever chemicals”.
The grup f chemicals knwn as PFAS（全氟烷基物）are pretty amazing. They’re nn-stick, waterprf, and il prf. They dn’t burn easily r disslve（溶解）in water. S scientists gt really excited when they were discvered. Businesses started putting PFAS in all srts f prducts, frm nn-stick pans t waterprf clthes, and frm fire-fighting spray t carpets that resist stains. Even things like fd wrappers and flss fr cleaning yur teeth cntain PFAS chemicals.
But after a while, scientists realized the same things that made the chemicals useful als caused a real prblem
— PFAS desn’t break dwn in nature. It desn’t disslve in water r bum. Nt even bacteria can break PFAS dwn. N wnder these chemicals are knwn as “frever chemicals”.
As a result, PFAS chemicals surge in the envirnment. The chemicals are fund in air, water, and dirt arund the wrld — and in animals and peple. In the US, 97% f humans have PFAS in their bld.
Luckily, scientists in the US have nw fund a way t break dwn sme PFAS chemicals. Their slutin requires biling PFAS with tw ther very cmmn chemicals. These chemicals can be fund in just abut any labratry.
Dr. Brittany Trang, ne f the scientists invlved, said she didn’t even want t test the idea at first. “I thught it was t simple,” she said. But the prcess wrked.
The research invlved 10 types f PFAS, including tw f the mst cmmn kinds. That’s a big step. But there are ver 12,000 different kinds f PFAS. It’s imprtant t nte that the new methd can nly break dwn PFAS chemicals that have already been cllected. Figuring ut hw t remve PFAS chemicals frm the envirnment and cllect them remains a huge challenge.
32. What can we infer abut PFAS chemicals frm paragraph 2? A. Scientists were s excited t invent them.
B. They were envirnmentally friendly at first. C. They are really widely used in ur daily life.
D. They have mre advantages than disadvantages.
33. What des the underlined wrd “surge” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. Increase fast.B. Flat everywhere.
C. Extend fully.D. React quickly.
What des the authr think f dealing with PFAS chemicals? A. It’s already t late t get rid f them.
B. There’s still a lng way t g abut it.
C. The new methd is t simple t wrk well.
D. It’s impssible t get them remved frm the envirnment.
Which is the best title fr the text?
PFAS Chemicals Are a Tw-edged Swrd
PFAS Chemicals Will Remain a Challenge fr Lng
D. Scientists Find a Way t Break dwn Frever Chemicals
