10、形比较奇怪，划出的线段应该前面是向下的，后面是平的，在表示这个平的时候我们就不可以使用 remain steady 了，我们要使用的结构是bottom out。 举例：人口下降后保持平稳：the number of population decreased and bottomed out 5.上升后保持平稳：上升后保持平稳： 前面的上升我们就不用说了，但是在上升以后保持平稳，我们需要使用 level off。 举例：人口上升后保持平稳：the number of population mounted and leveled offA19 6.复苏：复苏： 前面下降了以后，然后就上升了，这两条
11、线段的连接点就叫复苏。英语中表达为recover。 举例：人口下降后复苏：the number of population decreased and recovered 7. 波动：波动： 这个就像我们的心电图一样。英语中叫 fluctuate。 举例：人口波动： the number of population fluctuated. 8. 达到顶峰：达到顶峰：peak / reach its summit / reach its zenith 举例：人口到达了顶峰：the number of population peaked/ reached its summit/ reached i

13、er of population decreased slightly 3. 人口逐渐下降: the number of population decreased graduallyA21好了，我们现在已经说了两个范畴了, 这两个范畴可以帮你搞定任何线段组的描述。紧接下来我们要讨论的是如何将线段组与数据进行连接。非常简单, 注意如下的介词使用。 一一. remain steady / stay stable / level off / bottom out / peak / reach its peak / reach its zenith 后面需要使用后面需要使用的是的是 at . 举例:
14、1. 人口在500万上保持平稳: the number of population remained steady at 5 million 2 人口在800万时到达了顶峰: the number of population peaked at 8 million 3. 下降后, 人口在400万保持平稳: after decreasing, the number of population bottomed out at 4 million 4. 上升后, 人口在700万保持平稳: after mounting, the number of population leveled off at
15、7 million A22 二二. 上升上升/下降后面使用下降后面使用to(到到)和和by(了了) 举例: 1. 人口下降到200万: the number of population decreased to 2 million. 2. 人口下降了200万: the number of population decreased by 2 million. 3. 人口上升到1000万: the number of population increased to 10 million. 4. 人口上升了500万: the number of population increased by 5 m

26、way people spent their holidays between 1990 and 2000. Especially, in 1990, 63% of people spent their holidays at home, while the figure decreased considerably to 24% in 2000. There are three reasons for this phenomenon. A31 To begin with, with the development of market-oriented economy, people earn
27、 by far more money than they used to, making it possible for them to afford traveling expenses. In addition, people realize the importance of getting well-informed about the outside world in this modern era to develop their potential. For example, a traveler may encounter or talk with someone of a d
28、ifferent cultural background so as to broaden his vision. Last but not least, by traveling outside, people are close to nature, which is not only beneficial to both their health and peace of mind. In short, more and more people take the occasion of holiday to travel outside and relax themselves.A32
29、As far as I am concerned, I prefer to go traveling instead of staying at home during holidays. On the one hand, I love meeting different people and take in some fresh ideas. On the other hand, it is agreed that the world is becoming a global village. No one could confine himself within his small cir

31、析产生这些变化的原因；3、说明这些变化对个人和社会产生的影响。A34Changes in the Ownership of Houses As is shown in the chart, great changes have taken place in the ownership of houses in the city. There has been a steady decline in the percentage of state-owned houses from 75 in 1990 to 20 in 2000. On the contrary, the percentage
32、 of private houses has been on the rise.A35 Several factors may account for the trend. For one thing, owing to the policy of reform and opening to the outside world, the past decade witnessed significant improvement in peoples standard of living. In other words, they have had the means to purchase h
33、ouses of their own. For another, peoples ideas about consumption have undergone some radical changes. In the past, they were reluctant to spend, but now they are willing to buy. Anyway, it is much more comfortable to dwell in a house of ones own.A36 These changes in the ownership have already had a
34、positive effect on both individuals and society. Individuals, young people in particular, will be motivated to work harder to purchase a nest of their own. As a result, the housing industry will be boosted and more revenues will be raised to cover other sectors of our national economy.A37A38万能句型 As

As the picture shows, a boy is holding his cell phone and protesting to his mother,” why am I going to school if my phone already knows everything? The picture is intended to highlight the boys misunderstanding a
37、bout going to school, which is quite prevalent among young students. To solve this problem, teachers and parents need to educate students the important differences between information and knowledge. Firstly, information is the raw material of knowledge. If we do not process information in our mind “
38、factory” through analytical thinking and creative thinking, there will be no knowledge as end products. A41 Furthermore, it is true that cell phones give us access to a wide collection of information, but it is in school that we are trained to summarize, analyze and criticize information. Cell phone
39、s cannot and will not replace our minds to think, and schooling is so far the best way to nurture our minds. In conclusion, teachers and parents are advised to explain the important differences between information and knowledge, so that young students will understand the true meaning of schooling.
