线图 C5T1 原题 The graph below shows the proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. The graph shows the increase in the ageing population in Japan, Sweden and the USA. It indicates that the percentage of elderly people in all three countries is expected to increase to almost 25% of the respective populations by the year 2040. In 1940 the proportion of people aged 65 or more stood at only 5% in Japan, approximately 7% in Sweden and 9% in the US. However, while the figures for the Western countries grew to about 15% in around 1990, the figure for Japan dipped to only 2.5% for much of this period, before rising to almost 5% again at the present time. In spite of some fluctuation in the expected percentages, the proportion of older people will probably continue to increase in the next two decades in the three countries. A more dramatic rise is predicted between 2030 and 2040 in Japan, by which time it is thought that the proportion of elderly people will be similar in the three countries. 分析： 题目 The graph below shows the proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries. 第一段 The graph shows the increase in the ageing population in Japan, Sweden and the USA. 作者没有一上来提示图表内容，而是直接奔向中心思想，也就是文章的主旨句。 increase in sth 注意名词increase后面常用到的介词in It indicates that the percentage of elderly people in all three countries is expected to increase to almost 25% of the respective populations by the year 2040. 对文章中心句的进一步解释说明，即具体说明increase 句子主干为 The percentage is expected to increase to sth, be expected to do表示对未来的一种预测，increase to 25%中的to为 [prep] 第二段 In 1940 the proportion of people aged 65 or more stood at only 5% in Japan, approximately 7% in Sweden and 9% in the US. 说明起点，主干为the proportion stood at , stand at+数值，相当于is+数值 people aged 65 or more,其中aged 65 or more为后置定语，aged [adj], 如a man
