22、Today most Chinese teenagers are happy to be favored by two parents and four grandparents in their families. But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths as China is entering a new stage of an aging society.
An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old have made up 11.7 percent of the nation’s total population. “China is getting old before becoming rich,” said Cai Chuang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The population increase that has powered Chinese growth for three decades will give way over the next ten years to a rapid aging of the society. This will lead to weaker economic growth, because of a lack of labor resources.
As a result of the family planning policy, it is expected that the country's total working population will decrease after 2015.
China is not the only country getting old. More than 60 countries have become aging societies and one in three people in the European Union is a senior citizen.
However, experts said that China doesn't have a highly developed social security network to support the old. Social security is an insurance program protecting those in need, including the old, the disabled and others.
【1】An aging society is a society that ___________.
A.less than 10% of its population is over 60
B.10% or more of its population is over 60
C.there are four old people in a family
D.most of its population is over 60
【2】If China enters an aging society, ___________.
A.there will not be enough labor resources
B.the family planning policy will be ended
C.everyone needs to take care of four to twelve old people
D.China will have a highly developed social security network
【3】The passage mainly talks about ___________.
A.an aging society
B.Chinese social problems
C.family planning policy
D.aging problem in China
23、Every spring, as the weather warms, trees up and down the East Coast explode in a display of bright green life as leaves fill their branches, and every fall, the same leaves provide one of nature’s great color displays of vivid yellow, orange and red.
Thanks to climate change, the timing of these events has shifted over the last two decades, Harvard scientists say.
Andrew Richardson, an associate professor of organismic and evolutionary biology, and research associate Trevor Keenan worked with colleagues from seven different institutions on a study which found that forests throughout the eastern United States are showing signs of spring growth dramatically earlier, and that the growing season in some areas extends further into the fall.
Richardson said, “Climate change isn’t just about warmer temperatures. It’s also about changes in precipitation (降水) patterns... so in the future, an earlier spring might not help forests take up more carbon dioxide if they end up running out of water in mid-summer.”
The research combined information from three sources. Using satellite data, Keenan tracked when forests across the region began to turn green in the spring, and when leaves began to turn yellow in the fall. Ground observations made every three to seven days at the Harvard Forest in Petersham and a long-term research site in New Hampshire provided information about the state of buds, leaves and branches. When combined with records from instrument towers, the data sets allowed the researchers to paint a richly detailed picture that shows spring starting earlier, and the growing season lasting longer than at any point in the past two decades.
Another important result, Richardson said, was the discovery of a significant source of error in existing computer models on how forest ecosystems work.
“This shows an opportunity to improve the models and how they simulate how forests will work under future climate scenarios forecast.” he said.
The real power of the findings, however, may be in helping to make the effects of climate change clearer to the public, the researchers said.
【1】What is the reason of the earlier spring according to the Harvard scientists?
A.The human activities.
B.The climate change.
C.The tree growth.
D.The reduction in water.
【2】What can we infer from Richardson’s words in the fourth paragraph?
A.An earlier spring can only bring benefits.
B.The influence of climate change is complex.
C.The water in mid-summer will increase.
D.The role of forests becomes less important.
【3】What is closest in meaning to the underlined word simulate in the seventh paragraph?
A.Change
B.Explain
C.Imitate
D.Create
【4】What is the real power of the findings of the research?
A.It helps scientists to figure out how forest ecosystems work.
B.It reflects how the growing season is extending faster.
C.It provides an opportunity to improve the computer models.
D.It helps to make the effects of climate change clearer to the public.
【5】What is the purpose of this text?
A.To tell us people should be more aware of the climate change.
B.To tell us the climate change has some effects on the world.
C.To tell us the early spring in eastern USA is a good time to travel.
D.To tell us high technology is useful to detect the climate change.
24、As a child, Marta was surprisingly creative, painting pictures before she received any formal training. At age 8, she informed me she planned to become a film-maker and stuck to that until, at 17, she and I decided that instead of taking a course in film, she should be apprenticed to a brilliant sound editor, Bruce Nyznik, and his talented associates such as Peter Tilley, with whom I was then working.
Marta's love of trains led to the creation of her first film, Train of Thought, in 1991.After that transition from sound to film, she continued to direct and produce, as well as edit. Her works include Shattered Dreams, a 2006 documentary about a disadvantaged youth in Toronto; The Saviour of Ceylon, a film about the heroism of RCAF officer Leonard Birchall; and the seven - part television series Being 80with Jean Vanier.
Marta was diagnosed with cancer nine years before her death. She saw her cancer as something to be grateful for because it made her concentrate her attention on lasting spiritual realities, rather than the temporary passions that define most of our lives and most of the time.
Marta had worked as an editor and director on more than 30 films with Jean Vanier , the founder of L' Arche, an international organization that assists the developmentally handicapped. So she came to her great trial with some hope that her physical pain could promote spiritual growth. She had had little contact with formal religious practice, so what changed her was having to find the meaning of the cancer that threatened her life.
In her final year or so, she began to write about her experience with cancer and the enlightenment that came with it. She meant to give purpose to her life by helping others. Above all, she wanted her friends and family to share the help she was able to give.
In a conversation shortly before Marta's death, I expressed some discouragement in my life, and she advised me to concentrate on something for which I was grateful.
【1】What did Marta do in order to achieve her goal?
A.She decided to pay a visit to Bruce Nyznik.
B.She planned to take a related course.
