In his first years of high school, Gabriel would look pityingly at music students...:告诉了我们一些很有价值的信息，比如::For a long time:的暗示作用。Gabriel一点也不想接触音乐，这种想法已经存在很久了，暗示他可能会开始学习音乐。:look pityingly at music students:同情地看着 15 学习音乐的学生，也为下文的转折做了铺垫。 另外，完形填空题中对词汇知识的考查，主要体现在习惯用法和同义词、近义词的辨析两方面。习惯用法是英语中某种固定的结构形态，即所谓的:习语:，不能随意改动。所以，考生平时应掌握好习惯用法。对词义辨析题的考查有加大力度的趋势。要做好这类题，需要有较大的词汇量和词语搭配能力、词语辨析能力，特别是在特定的语境中能灵活运用的能力。本题的44、47就是考查了近义词的辨析，第47题的taste误导性很大。 同时，信息的复现也是完形填空的一个特点。语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、上义词和下义词复现、概括词复现和代词复现等。语篇中有词汇和结构同现的现象，如与语篇话题相关、意义相关的词汇同时出现，结构同现，同义同现，修饰同现，因果同现等。因此，可以利用上下文寻找解题信息，从而确定正确答案。 考点:考查记叙文阅读 第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分) 、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A 该项涂黑。 A CHRONOLOGICA ——The Unbelievable Years that Defined History DID YOU KNOW… In 105 AD paper was invented in China?

Travel through 100 of the most unbelievable years in world history and learn why being a Roman Emperor wasn’t always as good as it sounds, how the Hundred Years’ War didn’t actually last for 100 years and why Spencer Perceval holds a rather unfortunate record. CHRONOLOGICA is an informative and entertaining tour into history, beautifully illustrated 16 and full of unbelievable facts. While CHRONOLOGICA tells the stories of famous people in history such as Thomas Edison and Alexander the Great, this book also gives an account of the lives of lesser-known individuals including the explorer Mungo Park and sculptor Gutzon Borglum. This complete but brief historical collection is certain to entertain readers young and old, and guaranteed to present even the biggest history lover with something new! 56. What is according to the next? CHRONOLOGICA A. A biography. B. A travel guide. C. A history book. D. A science fiction. 57. How does the writer recommend CHRONOLOGICA to readers? A. By giving details of its collection. B. By introducing some of its contents. C. By telling stories at the beginning. D. By comparing it with other books. 【答案】56. C 57. B 【解析】文章大意:文章介绍了一本关于历史的书籍，这本书了不同时代、世界各地的历史事件和史实。作者提到了很多书里面的内容来向读者推荐本书。 57. B【解析】细节理解题。作者在文中以提问的方式提到很多与历史有关的人物或事件，像:from the foundation of Rome to the creation of the Internet. ...tales of kings and queens, hot air balloons…and monkeys in space...why being a Roman Emperor wasn’t always as good as it 17 sounds, how the Hundred Years’ War didn’t actually last for 100 years and why Spencer Perceval holds a rather unfortunate record:说明作者是在引用书中的内容。 【名师点睛】 英语阅读中一个比较常见的考点。主要考查考生能否从内容特点、文体特点、语 推断文章出处是高考 言风格等方面判断出所读文章的具体出处。比如，如果所读材料具有较强的时效性或新闻性，则可能出自 新闻报道;如果所读材料侧重历史事实，且措辞严谨，则可能出自历史教科书;如果所读材料中涉及工作 要求、工资待遇、联系电话等，则可能出自招聘广告;如果所读材料轻松、休闲，则可能出自旅游杂志或 休闲杂志等。第56题属于这一类题目。根据文章中出现的历史事件不难推断出CHRONOLOGICA是一本历史 书。 考点:考查信息类短文阅读 B Before birth, babies can tell the difference between loud sounds and voices. They can even distinguish their mother’s voice from that of a female stranger. But when it comes to embryonic learning (胎教), birds could rule the roost. As recently reported in The Auk: Ornithological Advances, some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch (孵化). New-born chicks can then imitate their mom’s call within a few days of entering the world. This educational method was first observed in 2012 by Sonia Kleindorfer, a biologist at Flinders University in South Australia, and her colleagues. Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs. When the eggs were hatched, the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers—a sound that served as their regular :feed me!: call. To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds, the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren, another species of Australian songbird. First they collected sound data from 67 nests in four sites in Queensland before and after hatching. Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and number of notes. A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity. It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms. And the 18 more frequently mothers had called to their eggs, the more similar were the babies’ begging calls. In addition, the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom’s voice were rewarded with the most food. This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological (神经 系统的) strengths of children to parents. An evolutionary inference can then be drawn. :As a parent, do you invest in quality children, or do you invest in children that are in need?: Kleindorfer asks. :Our results suggest that they might be going for quality.: 58.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means:____________:. A. be the worst B. be the best C. be the as bad D. be just as good 59. What are Kleindorfer’s findings based on? A. Similarities between the calls of moms and chicks. B. The observation of fairy wrens across Australia. C. The data collected from Queensland’s locals. D. Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds. 60. Embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds which ____________. A. can receive quality signals B. are in need of training C. fit the environment better D. make the loudest call 【答案】58. B 59. A 60. C 【解析】文章大意:文章介绍了鸟类在胎教方面的超凡本领。实验发现鸟儿在孵化时不停地鸣叫是为了教 会以后出生的雏鸟歌唱的本领，从而挑选出能够适应环境的雏鸟。 60. C【解析】根据倒数第二段中的:the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom’s voice 19 were rewarded with the most food:和最后一段:Our results suggest that they might be going for quality.:可知，模仿母鸟模仿得最好的雏鸟得到最多的食物，研究结果表明，母亲会选择质量 好的雏鸟。由此可知，胎教帮助母鸟辨别出那些适应环境较好的孩子。 【名师点睛】 猜测词义题概况 词义猜测是应用英语的重要能力，也是高考必考的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。考生应学会通过构词、定义、同位、对比、因果、常识、同义、反义及上下文线索等确定词义。 一、题型特点与命题方式: 此类题型有逐渐增加的趋势，尤其是猜测词组、句义题。因为猜测词组、句义题涉及题材背景、句子结构、文章主旨、作者的观点态度等。联系主旨、整合上下文信息是解答这类题的关键。近几年阅读理解的生词率略有上升，加大了猜测难度。命题者着重考查考生利用同义或反义关系、构词法、语法和语篇文脉等理解生词的能力。 【命题趋势】 1. 要求根据阅读材料所提供的信息，结合中学生应有的常识和经验，正确判断生词词组的含义或成熟词在特定语境中表达的具体含义以及一些句子的意思。 2. 要求猜测词义的词一般为实词及其词组，通过构词、定义、对比、因果、联想、上下文等线索确定词义的具体内容。例如第65题。 3. 代词复指理解题也是猜测词义的常考类型。用:逻辑关系梳理法:、:递向寻踪法:理清人物及事物之间的逻辑关系是关键所在。 【设问形式】 The underlined word :…: in the second(third…) paragraph refers to(means) ______. By saying that :…: in the first(second…) paragraph, the author means that ______. In paragraph …, :…: can be replaced by :______:. The meaning of :…: in paragraph… is related to ______. Which of the following has the closest meaning to…in paragraph...? The underlined sentence in the … paragraph probably means that _____. 解题思路 做这种类型的题目，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词 20 技巧是做好这类题的关键。命题者在出这类题时惯用常规词义来麻痹考生，我们要特别注意熟词生义，切 不可脱离语境主观臆断。 考点:考查科普说明文阅读 C A new commodity brings about a highly profitable, fast-growing industry, urging antitrust(反垄断)regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago, the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants(巨头)that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable. Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime. The giants’ success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery. Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too. But there is cause for concern. The Internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a :God’s eye view: of activities in their own markets and beyond. This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of them would become great again. A rethink is required — and as a new approach starts to become apparent, two ideas stand out. The first is that antitrust authorities need to move from the industrial age into the 21st century. When considering a merger(兼并), for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms’ data assets(资 产) when assessing the impact of deals. The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-born threat. When this takes place, especially when a new-born company 21 has no revenue to speak of, the regulators should raise red flags. The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over data and give more to those who supply them. Companies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make form it. Governments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data, with users’ consent. Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy. But if governments don’t want a data economy controlled by a few giants, they must act soon. 61.Why is there a call to break up giants? A. They have controlled the data market. B. They collect enormous private data. C. They no longer provide free services. D. They dismissed some new-born giants. 62.What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate? A. Data giants’ technology is very expensive. B. Google’s idea is popular among data firms. C. Data can strengthen giants’ controlling position. D. Data can be turned into new services or products. 63. By paying attention to firms’ data assets, antitrust regulators could ____________. A. kill a new threat B. avoid the size trap C. favour bigger firms D. charge higher prices 64. What is the purpose of loosening the giants’ control of data? A. Big companies could relieve data security pressure. B. Governments could relieve their financial pressure. C. Consumers could better protect their privacy. D. Small companies could get more opportunities. 【答案】61. A 62. C 63. B 64. D 【解析】文章大意:本文主要讲的是信息时代的信息数据的垄断现象。一些科技巨头Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft等对数据的垄断引来了有关部门的反垄断调查。 22 63. B【解析】根据倒数第三段:The first is that antitrust authorities need to move from the industrial age into the 21st century. When considering a merger(兼并), for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms’ data assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals.:可知，在考 虑公司数据资产的基础上，反垄断监管机构会避免陷于规模陷阱。 64. D【解析】根据倒数第二段Companies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make from it. Governments... with users’ consent.:可知，由于大公司 垄断数据信息，不利于小公司更好地服务消费者，也不利于政府开展工作。弱化这种垄断将会给小公 司带去更多的发展机会。 【名师点睛】 推理判断题 高考英语阅读理解所涉及的考点比较多，比如考查常识理解、细节理解、语义理解、主旨理解、推理判断等。但比较而言，难度最大而且最容易出错的是推理判断题。因为推理判断题通常要求考生不仅要理解原文的文字信息，而且还要进行一定的判断和推理，并以此推断出文章的隐含意义。推理判断题属于主观性很强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，要严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措辞、态度和语气，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断， 你:从而得出符合逻辑的结论。此时应特别注意:当问及作者的看法、意图与态度时，不要误认为是在问:的想法。 考点一 考查因果关系的推断 因果关系的推断是高考英语推断题中考得比较多的一类。因果关系的推断有时只涉及一个或几个细节，有时涉及一个或几个段落，有时甚至涉及全文。一般说来，推断因果关系所涉及的内容越多，难度也就越大，同学们越要仔细。 23 考点二 考查作者观点的推断 推断作者观点也是高考英语阅读中一个比较常见的考点。这类考题的命题特点是:命题者要求考生根据阅读材料中的某些事实推断出作者所持的观点和态度。同学们在做这类题时，一定要注意作者在文中的措辞，尤其是表达感情色彩的形容词、副词、动词及所举的例子(如有直接引语，也要特别注意)，才能推断出作者的弦外之音。 此类试题的干扰项通常具有以下特点:或是社会的一种普遍倾向，或是与本文无关的观点，或是与作者相反的看法等。 考点三 考查作者意图的推断 这里说的:作者意图:至少包括两个方面:一是指作者直接在文中透露出的意图，如提及某个细节的意图，列举某个例子的意图，等等;二是指作者写这篇文章的意图或所想达到的目的。同学们做这类题时一定要结合文章主题进行推断，也就是说作者的意图原则上应与文章主题一致，而不能与之相悖。如: 考点四 考查读者对象的推断 推断读者对象的考题在高考中出现得不多，只在部分省、市的考题中偶尔出现。这类考题的特点是:命题者要求先读一篇材料，然后要求考生根据所读材料推断出该材料的读者对象是什么。同学们做这类题要注意的是，先读懂文章大意，然后比较所给四个选项的人群特点，再寻找其相关点，最后得出一个合情合理的答案。例如第64题。 考点五 考查隐含意义的推断 对隐含意义的推测是阅读理解中难度较大的一类考点。所谓推断隐含意义，就是要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出合乎情理的推理与判断，从而得出文章的隐含意义和深层意义。对隐含意义的推测属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解，同学们在做这类题目时，一定要严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措辞、态度和语气，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词句，然后利用自己的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。例如第72题。 考点六 考查特定结论的推断 简单地说，高考英语对阅读理解的考查主要是两大类:一类是细节理解;一类是推理判断。推理判断题除前面分析的因果关系的推断、作者观点的推断、作者意图的推断、读者对象的推断、文章出处的推断、隐含意义的推断等之外，还有许多结论性的推断，即要求考生根据所读文章对某种结论作出推断。因这类考题涉及面比较广，出题形式比较灵活，所以一并归入:特定结论的推断:。 考点:考查科普说明文阅读 D 24 Old Problem, New Approaches While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warming will continue for some decades after CO emissions(排放)peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, 2 we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation. When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that: : There is no ‘one-size fits all’ adaptation.: Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost. Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity(连体) to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds prevent starvation during the wet season. Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel’s inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he 3 has stored about 200, 000 mof water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting. Increasing Earth’s reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses (which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process. 25 In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. The outcome is still far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its of "100 ideas to save the planet:. More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this—either by growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is common sense. But some suggestions for adapting are not. When the polluting industries argue that we’ve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, it’s a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual. Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others. 65. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies ____________. A. adaptation is an ever-changing process B. the cost of adaptation varies with time C. global warming affects adaptation forms D. adaptation to climate change is challenging 66. What is special with regard to Rezwan’s project? A. The project receives government support. B. Different organizations work with each other. C. His organization makes the best of a bad situation. D. The project connects flooded roads and highways. 67. What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming? A. Storing ice for future use. B. Protecting the glaciers from melting. C. Changing the irrigation time. D. Postponing the melting of the glaciers. 68. What do we learn from the Peru example? 26 A. White paint is usually safe for buildings. B. The global warming tread cannot be stopped. C. This country is heating up too quickly. D. Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming. 69. According to the author, polluting industries should ____________. A. adapt to carbon pollution B. plant highly profitable crops C. leave carbon emission alone D. fight against carbon pollution 70. What’s the author’s preferred solution to global warming? A. Setting up a new standard. B. Reducing carbon emission. C. Adapting to climate change. D. Monitoring polluting industries. 【答案】65. A 66. C 67. A 68.D 69.D 70. B 【解析】文章大意:文章关注的是我们熟悉的话题——气候变暖，不同的是，文章给出了一些应对气候变 暖的新途径。 67. A【解析】根据第四段中的:Norphel’s inspiration come from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. :可知，把冰川融化后的水储存起来以备不时之需，是减少气 候变暖危害的方法之一。 68. D【解析】根据倒数第四段中的:By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.:和倒数第三段中的:painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice:可知，将墙壁涂成白色是利用了光的 反射原理，这样可以缓解气候变暖。 69. D【解析】根据倒数第二段中的:When the polluting industries argue that we’ve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, it’s a nonsense...:可知， 作者不赞成:我们已经在与碳污染的斗争中失败了:这样的说法，说明作者建议污染企业行动起来。 27 70. B【解析】根据最后一段中的:But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution.:可知，作者认为，最合理的方法仍然是减少二 氧化碳的排放。 【名师点睛】 词义猜测技巧 1、根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测 有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短 语意义的主要依据。例如: Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly. 句子给予annealing以明确的定义，即:退火:。 2、根据同位关系进行猜测 阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，这时可利用同位关系对前面或后 面的词义或句意进行猜测。例如: They traveled a long way, at last got to a castle, a large building in old times. 同位语部分a large building in old times给出了castle的确切词义，即古时候的:城堡:。 We are on the night shift — from midnight to 8 a.m.— this week. 两个破折号之间的短语很清楚地表明night shift是:夜班:的意思。 The :Chunnel:, a tunnel(隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete. 此句中a tunnel connecting England and France是Chunnel的同位语。因此，The:Chunnel: 就是英法之间的海底隧道。 3、根据构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测 在英语中，有很多词可以在前面加前缀，在后面加后缀，从而构成一个词，乍看起来，这个词可 能是新词，但掌握了一定的构词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。例如: :Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10,: Anaclerio said, :and they’re very interactive and creative in that they built a sense of drama based on a subject.: 文中interactive是由前缀inter-(相互的)和active(活动的，活跃的)而构成的，同时根据上下 文的意思可以判断，该词的含义应是:互动的:。 Perhaps, we can see some possibilities for next fifty years. But the next hundred? possibility是possible的同根名词，据此可以判断定possibility意思是:可能性:。 28 4、根据因果关系进行猜测 在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。例如: The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken. Sometimes the weakness was permanent. So the player could never play the sport again. 从后面的结果:永远不能再运动:中，可以推测permanent的意思为:永远的，永久的:。 5、根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测 文章中的代词it, that, he, him或them可以指上文提到的人或物，其中it和that还可以指一 件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远，要认真查找;也有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结，才能得出代 词所指代的事。例如: Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion(捍卫) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note intended for someone else: :Why’s your car HERE at HER place?: them指的是前面出现的self-published art magazines。 6、根据同义关系进行猜测 当词或短语之间有并列连词and或or时，其连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的，由此确 定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域，由此可推知其大致意思。 7、根据转折或对比关系进行猜测 根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而 依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。例如: A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun. 从前后两句的意思可以看出，hassle和a basket of fun肯定是近乎相反的意义。所以不难判断 hassle的意思是:困难，麻烦:。 考点:环保类短文阅读 第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 (( 注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。 Population Change Why is the world’s population growing? The answer is not what you might think. The reason for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits, but that people have 29 stopped dropping dead like flies. In 1900, people died at the average age of 30. By 2000 the average age was 65. But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century, declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st. Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the world’s population live in regions where the figure is now below the replacement level (i.e. 2.1 births per woman) and almost all developed are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. You might think that developing nations would nations make up the loss (especially since 80% of the world’s people now live in such nations), but you’d be wrong. Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades. A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance. What does it imply? First, China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population decline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as technology remain constant, economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble. Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise. Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive 50%. Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961. Why is this occurring? Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet and above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it. If current trends don’t bend, Russia’s population will be about the size of Yemen’s by the year 2050. In the north of India, the population is booming due to high birth rates, but in the south, where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas. In total, 25% of India’s working-age population has no education. In 2030, a sixth of the country’s potential work force could be totally uneducated. One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration. As for the USA, it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010—2030. Moreover, the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it’s likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economic 30 growth over the longer term. Population Change The birth rate in the 21st century may be much (71)______ than it was in the 20th. Decline of the birth rate It would be difficult for developed countries to maintain the (72)_________ of population. The impact of dropping birth rate on developing countries may not be (73)____________ but disastrous. To guarantee its economic growth, China needs to deal with the population issue properly, as its workers are getting (75)________. The (76)__________ death of Russians may result in a shrinking Population and population, which would damage its economic future. It would be (74)________ pressure better if it can change people’s way of (77)________. Leaving aside the birth rate issue, India’s economy may take off when the country achieves (78)___________ of educational opportunity.

However, that increase slowed down in 2016. The reasons behind this are various. The fast economic development before 2016 was probably the most powerful engine driving the constant growth in the box-office income. The application of new technologies and the wide appeal of movie stars could also account for the increase. However, China saw a decline in its economic growth rate last year. And the Internet increased options for movie lovers. Consequently, some viewers began to turn away from cinemas, leading to a slower growth. China’s economy is expected to grow at a medium speed in the coming years, so an increase is possible in the investment in the movie industry and the number of quality movies. Therefore, its box-office income will probably enjoy a slight increase. (150 words) Possible version two: As is indicated in the graph, the box-office income of Chinese films increased constantly from 2012 to 2015, but its growth, for one reason or another, slowed down in 2016. 35 The increase in the box-office income can be attributed to a number of factors. The quality of life has improved and watching films is regarded as a good means of entertainment. Besides, filming technology has advanced and more quality films are on offer. Moreover, the Internet plays an important part. On the Internet, people can seek information about their favorite stars and buy tickets at a discount as well, which is both time-saving and economical. However, the film market may witness a slowdown in the near future. Cinemas have gradually given way to the rise of the Internet and cellphones, and the ticket price is on the increase. Therefore, the film industry should make greater efforts to attract more viewers.
