Is a nation’s destiny set by its fertility rates? Japan has the world’s oldest【C1】______, but Japanese longevity can’t【C2】______for its extremely-low fertility rate—just 1.4 children per woman. One in four don’t have children. Some European countries also have low fertility rates, but top up【C3】______migrants. Japan does not.
The conventional view is that this is bad news: shrinking numbers【C4】______economic growth and the aging population is a major【C5】______burden. But there is another【C6】______The proportion of Japan’s population has almost twice as many over-65s as children.【C7】______Japan spends less on education. And because the Japanese are the world’s healthiest, care【C8】______are also lower than in other nations.
Japan’s economy has been growing slowly for two decades now. But【C9】______the falling population, individual income has been【C10】______strongly-outperforming most US citizens’.
With 127 million people, Japan is【C11】______empty. But fewer people in future will mean it has more living space, more agricultural land per head, and a higher quality of life. Its【C12】______on the planet for food and other【C13】______will also lessen. Japan isn’t alone in population【C14】______: Russia, Romania and Hungary all【C15】______the trend. For many more, it is being【C16】______by immigration. But the global population is increasing slowly. The world recently reached "peak child" —the point【C17】______the number of children aged 0 to 14 around the globe【C18】______off. Global fertility rates have halved in 40 years—they are now below 2.5 children per woman—and global population may peak soon. Some believe that peak population is a【C19】______first step to reducing our【C20】______on the planet’s life-support systems. In that case, following Japan’s example may be just the ticket.
【C18】
选项
A、starts
B、gets
C、levels
D、takes
答案
C
解析
该句破折号前提及全球将达到“儿童高峰期”(peak child),据此可推断达到高峰后,其走向应趋于平稳或开始走低。C项levels与off搭配即表示“趋于平稳”。故选C项。
