重庆市2024年中考英语第一次模拟考试试卷
You probably have noticed it: Chongqing's population has been aging fast. According t China's latest national census ( 人 口普查), up to 23.4 percent of the city's residents ( 居 民) are aged over 60. This number is expected to grow even further in the coming years.
Chongqing is not alone. Many other cities around the world have been experiencing this same problem for some time now. Some people are worried about this. The elderly, they say, do very little for the nation's economy (经济). The government, however, has to give them lots of retirement benefits (退休福利). But a recent survey shows that many people agree there are some positives to having an aging population.
With an aging population, younger people will have more chances to meet seniors in their daily lives. With age comes wisdom. Through usual communication, the elderly can bring a wealth of a useful life lessons to younger people. The young, at the same time, are given chances to see things from a completely different perspective (视角).
Besides, in many cultures, it's normal for elderly parents to live with their children under the same roof. Their children may have already reached adulthood, but these gray-haired men and women continue to play an important role in their development. In some families, the elderly are taking care of their grandchildren. It's reported that half of all the children in China's cities live with their grandparents and are raised under their guidance. Thanks to this free childcare, working parents can contribute more to the economy.
An aging population is often considered to be a headache. But perhaps it can be argued that there are also some benefits to it.

The Swing How do you like to go upon a swing. Up in the air so ____ ? Oh. I do think it the happiest thing. Ever a child can do! Up in the air and over the wall, Till I can see so wide. Rivers and trees and sheep and all, Over the countryside. Till I look down on the garden green, Down on the roof so brown. Up in the air I go flying again, Up in the air and down! |
My Plan for a Day |
Tomorrow will be Saturday. I' ll get up between six and seven. I'd go downstairs before anyone else in the family is up to feed my out door pet s and take my dog for a walk. |
I will have breakfast at 8:30. Then I' ll have milk and bread for breakfast because I think they are good for my health. My friends will come to my house and we' ll go to a reading club together. There, we will share what we have read over the past week with each other. In my opinion, it is meaningful for us to do the book sharing activity. |
At 12:30 pm, we' ll have lunch after the book sharing activity. After that, we plan to attend an English speech lecture(讲座) given by a famous English teacher. The speech will last from14:30 to 16:00. Then we will go to play basketball. |
At 5:30 pm, I' ll come back home and have supper with my parents. They will provide me with delicious food. I like tomato and egg soup best. I'm pretty proud of the food cooked by my mother. After supper, I'd like to wash the dishes by myself. |
