Dogs and cats have been popular Christmas gifts in the gifts in the UK and Europe for many years. But som
29、e people still havent quite got the message.The slogan still holds good. Some 105,000 dogs were rounded up by local government last year because they had been abandoned, many of them shortly after the festival season.The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is th
30、at the dogs need more attention than they can give; behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given.But Eleanor Silk, the Trusts communications director, says, “Its often four or five months after Christmas, in early summer, when owners find that the dog has got too big and too active, or
31、 it hasnt been trained properly and has caused damage around the home.” In any case, some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy(小狗) as a pet, Christmas is not the time to do it. Puppies need to get used to their new surroundings, to be intr
32、oduced to a routine, and to be looked after like small children. Its hard to meet any of these needs at Christmas. Whats more, pulling a puppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to children. It encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy, rather than a responsibilit
33、y.Appreciating what youre taking on with a dog can be a serious realization. “For life” means thinking about the effect theyll have on your life. It also infers you will need to care for the dog for its whole life.56.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Dogs and Catsthe Most Popular Chris
34、tmas Gifts.B. A pet is for Life, Not just for Christmas.C. How to Take Care of Your Pets over Christmas.D. Lets Help Those Abandoned Pets.57. The underlined words “rounded up” in Paragraph 2 mean “_”.A. given out as gifts B. thrown awayC. gathered into one place D. raised to make money 58. The fifth
35、 paragraph mainly tells us_.A. how to take best care of Christmas pets B. the right time to have a puppy as a petC. the reasons why Christmas is not the time to get a petD. the worries about Christmas pets from organizations that help pets59. Why is the author against the idea of putting a dog in th
36、e Christmas stocking as a Christmas gift?A. Because these dogs can still cause damage.B. Because children will not take dogs seriously.C. Because children dont like to have dogs as Christmas gifts.D. Because a Christmas stocking is not big enough to put a dog in. BLabor force is defined as being the
37、 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 countrys resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and
38、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 also affect it. The age distribution (分布) of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the populat
39、ion has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work, then the available workforce would be lower than if there were an balanced spread age distribution. If the population naturally grows rapidly, the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths then as a total populat
40、ion increases proportion of 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 leavi
41、ng it. In that situation the population is top-heavy 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 p
42、opulation 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 level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared
43、 for in special homes, finance must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population, then the government tax revenue(税收 ) is relatively low and either the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more he
44、avily. 60. The conclusion which can be drawn from the second paragraph is that_. A. a natural growth of population leads to a balanced workforceB. a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce C. the larger the population，the higher the proportion of the workforce D.
45、the workforce will be lower, if the population has a balanced age distribution 61.When a population is said to be 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. There are more people entering the workforce than those retiring62. The population which is top-heavy with older people _ of a country.A. leads to the high rate of unemployment B. results in low tax on the workforce members C. affects employees incomes D. places pressure on the economyCA person, like a commodi
