三、 阅读理解
19. Labor force is defined (定义) as being the 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 country's resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and 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 population 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 a balanced spread age distribution. If the population naturally grows rapidly, the number of births greatly exceeds (超出) the number of deaths then as a total population 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 not enough numbers of young people entering it to replace those who are leaving 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
population 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 for in special homes, finance must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small to the total population, then the government tax revenue (税收) is ly low and either the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily. 67. In the passage “labor force” is defined as _______. A. people who are available to work and earn income B. self-employed people only
C. people who are looking for an employment D. employers who create job opportunities
68. The conclusion which can be drawn from the second paragraph is that _______. A. a natural growth of population leads to a balanced workforce
B. 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. the workforce will be lower, if the population has a balanced age distribution 69. 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 retiring
70. According to the passage, which of the following factors is NOT mentioned as an influence on the workforce?
A. The size of the population. B. The age distribution of the population. C. The national economy. D. The number of births and deaths. 参： 67—70 ABAC 略
