In Italy, the significant change would happen on the percentage of senior people, which is predicted to reach 42.3%. Compared with the proportion of 2000 (24.1%), it is near

7、ly doubled.

It is clear to see that the energy derived from petrol and oil was and is projected to be

9、the major consumption source in the US. The developing trend of such energy consumption is, generally speaking, increasing and predicted to reach a little under 50 quadrillion in 2030 from 35 quadrillion in 1980, though there were some fluctuations in the first 15 years. The energy consumption produ

10、ced by coal and natural gas nearly follows the same developing trend in this 50-year period. From 1980 till the present day, the energy consumptions based on these two fuels both fluctuated with a rising trend and reached 25 quadrillion in 2015. From this point onwards, the energy produced by coal i

11、s predicted to continue growing and hit over 30 quadrillion in 2030, while that of natural gas should remain stable at 25 quadrillion. The energy generated by nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower plays a much less significant role in American peoples life. They all started at 4 quadrillion in the begi

12、nning and small fluctuations are the main feature for all of them throughout the time period. Till 2030, the energy consumptions from nuclear and solar/wind power are expected to reach 6 and 5 quadrillion respectively, whilst that of hydropower should be stabilised at 4. Overall, the energy consumpt

13、ion in the US is projected to increase for most of these six fuels with petrol and oil always performing the most significant part. 【知识模块】 小作文（看图作文） 3 【正确答案】 There are two figures: the line graph illustrates how the water consumption in three different sectors developed in the 20th century, while th

14、e table compares the difference of water use of 2000 in two countries. From the line graph it is clear that the water used in agriculture, industry and household all increased throughout the 20th century. Starting from about 500 km3 in 1900, the agricultural water use went up slowly to above 1000 km

15、3 around 1950; then a steep rise was witnessed hitting 3000 km3 in 2000. For industrial and domestic water use, they both increased minutely till 1950; afterwards, one climbed mildly and the other rose marginally reaching about 300 km3 and 1000 km3 respectively. Water use climbed in different sector

16、s; however, it was consumed off-balanced in different counties. In 2000, the water consumption per person in Brazil with 26,500 km2 irrigated land was as high as 359 m3, compared with only 8m3 in D. R. C, which has just 100 km2 irrigated land. If the water consumption per person is multiplied by the

17、 population (176 million and 5.2 million individually), we can find out how great the difference can be. Overall, in the last century worldwide water use kept rising no matter in which domains, while Brazil consumed much more water than Congo in 2000. 【知识模块】 小作文（看图作文） 4 【正确答案】 The bar chart illustra

Similarly, the proportions of Japanese people in Australias tourist market also showed an overall growing trend

20、 except two falls. The increase was even more evident in the first four years during which the percentage more than doubled from 2% to slightly less than 5%. After one year drop to slightly over 4%, it resumed the climbing tendency, and finally hit the highest point of over 6% in 1993 before it dipped again in the following year.
