蓝博士暑假作业甘肃少年儿童出版社系列答案

19．Many of the world's countries have reached or are approaching zero population growth （ZPG）．Nearly all such lands are economically well developed．They include much of Europe（including Russia），the United States，Canada，Japan．and Australia．As the rate of natural increase（RNI）declines，two things happen．First，the population begins to decline if the loss is not balanced by immigration．Second，a country's population ages because there are fewer births．
Is achieving ZPG good or bad？What happens when a country's population begins to drop？Many people，after all，believe that population decline is a good thing．But is it good for everyone？Does everyone agree？
An aging population can create many problems．Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention．Rather than paying into retirement programs，they begin to draw from their pensions．In the US，the Social Security program，according to many experts，will be used up by 2018．It will pay out more money than it takes in．Additionally，a great number of jobs go begging in search of people willing or entry level positions that pay low wages．With an able to do them．Many of these jobs are aging population，who will fill them？At the other extreme，some positions require a large number of training and highly specialized skills．Who will fill these positions as retirees leave the workforce？
The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple：increased migration．
Today many people，particularly those from less developed countries，are migrating in search of employment．Many are willing to take jobs that cannot（or will not） be filled by the domestic population．Others are well educated and highly skilled．Both groups contribute to a country's economy progress in many ways．Further，they add to the richness of a country's culture．Of greatest importance，perhaps，is the fact that they have become absolutely necessary to the economy of many lands．As you can see，for many countries and for most immigrants，migration is a win-win situation．

29．In the writer's view，which of the following statements is TRUE？C
A．Not everyone agrees that achieving ZPG is absolutely good
B．Achieving ZPG is every country's aim in spite of its side effects
C．Achieving ZPG is bad for senior citizens
D．Achieving ZPG is good for employment
30．According to the passage，the best way to solve the problem of declining and aging population isD．
A．to improve the health care system
B．to increase RNI
C．to increase employment
D．to increase migration
31．The main idea of the last paragraph isA．
A．the advantages of increased migration
B．the problem of declining and aging population
C．how to increase migration
D．some ways to enrich a country's culture．

16．In this world，each country has its own cultural characteristics．In a society such as the United States or Canada，which has many national，religious and cultural differences，people highly value individualism--the differences among people．Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special．The educational systems in these countries show these values．Students do not memorize all possible basic knowledge．Instead，they work individually and find answers by themselves．There is often discussion in the classroom．At an early age，students learn to form their own ideas and opinions．
In most Asian societies，by contrast，the people have the same language，history and culture．Perhaps for this reason，the educational system in much of the orient reflects society's belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism．Children in China，Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments．
There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education．For example，one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about math，physics，biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school．They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do．The system is difficult，but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control．There is，however，a disadvantage．Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools，yet many students say that after an exam，they forget much of the information that they have memorized．
The advantage of the educational system in North America，on the other hand，is that students learn to think for themselves．The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas．There is，however，a disadvantage．When students graduate from school，they haven't memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have．
21．The reason why American teachers attach much importance to individualism is thatC．
A．they are required to do so
B．their students do not memorize information
C．the United States is a country of many cultures
D．their students work individually
22．Which of the following statements applies to Asian methods of education？C
A．Each child in a classroom draws a different picture．
B．Students have to find information themselves．
C．Students are prepared for a society that values discipline．
D．Teachers serve as a guide in discussion．
23．From the facts，we can infer thatA．
A．Asian students are more likely to do better in teamwork than American students
B．Chinese students are more hard-working in their studies than Mexican students
C．The Western educational system is much better than the Eastern educational system
D．The Eastern educational system is as difficult as the Western educational system．

3．For many people around the world，a subway journey means speeding from one dull station to the next，surrounded by too many uncomfortable，impatient people．But on the Moscow Metro，taking the subway is like walking through a national heritage site．Depending on where you get off，you'll receive a brief course in architectural movements and face colorful glass windows，marble（大理石）columns，gilded （鎏金的）mosaics and painted scenes from Russian history．
"These extraordinarily beautiful places are unlike any metro station I've ever seen，"says Vancouver-based photographer David Burdeny．
When Burdeny，who himself has a master's degree in architecture，first found out about Moscow's metro stations，he was struck by the work of art．In all，he has photographed 20of the most beautiful stations．
Burdeny had originally planned to focus on Russian stations more generally，taking photos of examples in both St．Petersburg and Moscow．
"But when I saw the stations in Moscow，they just completely blew away the St．Petersburg ones，"he says．
Shooting in the subway sounds simple，but it is not without challenges．For one thing，Burdeny had to figure out a way to access them between 12：30a．m．and 5：30a．m．，when the stations were closed．
In the end，he settled on Arbatskaya Metro Station，whose vaulted （拱顶的） arches he found the most beautiful．But it also represented a challenge he was not sure he was able to overcome：conveying the hugeness of the spaces．The Arbatskaya platform，for example，stretches 820feet．"Some of the arches are quite long，"he says．"When you enter them，they're just so completely grand．"
1．We can learn from the text that David BurdenyD．
A．is a world-famous architect
B．is studying Russian history
C．took the subway to and from work
D．took photos of Moscow subway stations
2．What Burdeny found challenging wasC．
A．when to take photos of Moscow subway stations
B．whether to work in St．Petersburg or Moscow
C．how to photograph the long arches at Arbatskaya Station
D．where to get off to study the Moscow metro system
3．What does the underlined word"shooting"mean in Paragraph 6？B
A．Firing bullets from a gun．
B．Taking photographs．
C．Making movies．
D．Throwing the ball at the basket．

7．This should have been decided long before now； we can't think of_______．（　　）

14．Everyone makes mistakes，but the real test is _____ you react to that．（　　）

11．Back those photos up
The images were striking．Homes on the East Coast were washed away by Superstorm Sandy．People were in tears，picking up faded photographs，among their only remaining possessions．
If that doesn't move you to get serious about safekeeping your lifetime of memories，what will？The digital age offers tools never imaginable before-including one-click access to a lifetime of family photos．
Here is a brochure on how to back up （存） your photos and save them online，where they can live forever and be accessible in good times and bad．
Scanning
The first step for those old photos is to scan them and save them to a digital format．Most printers come with scanners these days，so that's an easy but extremely time-consuming step．
Storing the photos
With your scans in place，import the photos into your computer，and back them up．
You could make multiple copies of the disks and spread them to loved ones．Or you could choose external（外接的） hard drives or USB thumb drive，and add your photo and video collection from your computer．
Online backup
If you need lots of space，look at a pure online backup service，Caronite．
Caronite backs up 300million files daily．Once you sign up，it starts to pick up everything you have on your hard drive．But photo collection on your computer's main hard drive charges for﹩59a year．
Cloud Storage
For folks who don't need automatic backup，but instead want to take a more active approach，Dropbox，Google Drive and Microsoft's SkyDrive let you store files online by yourself，share and instantly access them．All offer free options-2GB of free storage for Dropbox，5GB for Google and 7GB for SkyDrive．But if you want more，you need to pay．
Bottom Line
The hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and easiest．But drives can fail．Online services are more expensive，but more secure．With more of us switching back and forth between our computers，such services are the best way to get access to our data from wherever we are．

59．Why does the author mention Superstorm Sandy？B
A．To tell the background of the scanning photos．
B．To attract the readers'interest in the backups．
C．To describe a severe natural disaster．
D．To win the readers'sympathy．
60．What can we know from the passage？B
A．Scanning photos takes little time but costs a lot．
B．Caronite charges for backing up photos from hard drive．
C．Google Drive offers unlimited free photo storage on line．
D．The hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and safest．
61．Which of the following allows storing files automatically？A
A．Caronite．B．Dropbox．
C．SkyDrive．D．Flash drive．
62．The main purpose of the passage is toB．
A．tell real stories about storage services
B．introduce some of the storage services
C．describe the functions of storage services
D．argue about the advantage of storage services．

Banjo
I am a music store owner．One day，when I was cleaning the instruments in my store，I saw an old man come in．His short steps dragged on the carpet．"Is 77too old to learn the banjo（班卓琴）？"he asked．"It's never too late to learn to play，"I replied，holding back my doubts．My mind told me I was giving false encouragement．I reached the instructor's schedule and gave the rates，the available（有效的） time and additional information that he would need．To my surprise and delight，the old man，Carl，began banjo lessons three days later with my most patient teacher．
With nothing to do at home but practice，Carl made surprising progress．After breakfast he practiced for his required half hour．While waiting for lunch he picked up his banjo again for just a couple of minutes．Since TV was difficult for him to see and hear，he often played the banjo in the evenings．Carl was always early for lessons so it was a surprise that he didn't arrive one Tuesday．
The next morning I listened to the answering machine with sadness．"Carl's in hospital，"the voice recorded．
Two months later，I shared the newspaper obituary with the banjo teacher．We both shed tears for a surprisingly clever banjo student．
Several months later，an old woman came into the store carrying a plant．"This is for Carl's banjo teacher，"she said．"I'm his wife，Mary．"
"Why did Carl want to play banjo？"I asked．Mary took a deep breath and let it out slowly．"Carl was at some show when he was 10years old．He came close to the stage to watch the performers．When they were picking up their instruments，the banjo player said to Carl，‘You want to see this up close？'Carl climbed up on the stage and from then on he wanted to play the banjo．"Carl had waited 67years to realize this dream!Mary gave the plant to me．"Thank you for the best six months of his life，"she said．
