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.

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.

【C20】
选项
A、supply
B、fight
C、assault
D、need
答案
C
解析
第4段第2句提到fewer people in future will mean it has more living space,more agricultural land per head,即人口数量越少,人均可拥有的地球资源就越多,对地球生命维持系统(planet’s life-support system)造成的压力就越少,因此空格应填入跟“压力”近义的词,C项assault“攻击”符合要求。
