Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Labor force is denned as being the total number of people who are
available to work and earn income.This
definition includes
everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment,so it includes employers and the self-employed. Labor is one of the country's resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services wanted by the community.
Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population,there are several other influences which a1so
affect it.The age
distribution of the total population has a very marked effect on the
available workforce.if the population has a high
proportion of very young people or of those too o1d to work,then the
available workforce would be lower than if there were an evenly spread age
distribution. If the population naturally grows rapidly,i.e. the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths, then as a total population increases the
proportion in the workforce declines.Sometimes a population is described as aging,which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly, and as people
retire from the workforce there are
insufficient numbers of young people entering it to
replace those who are leaving it.The population is top-heavy(头重脚轻) with older people.So the
percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate.
The age
distribution of the population has several important effects on the
economy.If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a
corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce,this raises the problem of the
ability of the
economy to provide a
reasonable 1evel of social services to the
retired group.If the aged are to be cared for in special homes,finance must be avai1able for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small
relative to the total population, then the government tax
revenue is
relatively low and either the government has less money
available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.31.Labor force is referred to as _________________
[A]people who are
available to work and earn income[B]self-employed people only
[C]only those who are looking for an employment[D]only the employers
32.According to the passage, which of the following factors is NOT mentioned as an influence onthe size of the workforce?
[A]The size of the population.[B]The age
distribution of the population.
[C]The national
economy.[D]The number of births and deaths.
33.The
conclusion which can be drawn
safely from the second
paragraph is that ________.[A]a population growth from natural increase leads to a greater
proportion of the workforce
[B]a large population does not
necessarily mean a higher
proportion of workforce[C]the larger the number of the aged in a population, the higher the
proportion of the workforce
[D]if the population has an evenly spread age
distribution, the workforce will be lower34.When a population is said to aging,________________.
[A]there are more people retiring than those entering the workforce.[B]the birth rate must be growing
[C]there should be an oversupply of workforce[D]young people outnumber old people
35.The population which is top-heavy with older people exerts
pressure on _____________.[A]the employers
[B]the self-employed[C]the young people
[D]the
economy of the countryPART TWO

将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。In
addition to the need for food, man also has need for some kind of
protection from heat and cold, and from wind and rain. The first homes of man were very simple. The size and kind of buildings which he built were
limited by his
technical knowledge and also by the kind of buildings materials(which were)
available to him. Climate also had an important influence. In some places, man's home would be nothing more than a cave in the side of a hill, with a fire at the entrance to give light and
warmth and to keep dangerous wild animals away. In warmer areas
primitive man could use branches to make a
framework which he then covered with leaves.
