Labor force is defined 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 insufficient 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 relative to the total population, then the government tax revenue (税收) is relatively low and either the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.

1.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

2.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，

3.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

4.The population which is top-heavy with older people ___________ of a country.

A．leads to the high rate of unemployment

B．results in low tax on the workforce members

C．affects employees’ incomes

D．places pressure on the economy

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

There are a growing number of pet owners who feed their pets on raw, which means, “uncooked” meat and bones.　 William Burk, a pet food specialist from the Food and Drug Administration （FDA）, believes that feeding raw meat to pets is against its goal of protecting the public from health dangers, and that raw meat and bones do not have all the required nutrition that a pet needs every day.

Recognizing how popular these foods are, the FDA has provided guidelines for producers of pet foods which contain uncooked meat for dogs, cats and other pets. The guidelines give rules to protect pet owners and pets from dangers about food safety and lack of nutrition.

Pet owners who feed raw meat and bones to their pets should deal with these products very carefully to protect themselves against possible dangers, says Burk.　 Just as when you are preparing foods for human beings, use hot water and soap to wash your hands, containers, and surfaces that come into contact with the food. Don’t put your hands near your mouth until you have washed them, and don’t allow your pet to touch your face right after it has eaten raw meat.

“If pet owners choose to feed bones to their pets, they should watch their pets carefully when they are eating bones,” Burk says. “If a pet eats a big piece of bone that won’t pass through its digestive system（消化系统）, it is likely to kill the pet.”

1.What does William Burk think of feeding pets on raw meat?

A. It’ll make the pet owners sick.

B. It’ll keep the pets’ wild nature.

C. It’s against the policy of tile FDA.

D. It’s dangerous and lack of nutrition.

2.The FDA has provided guidelines for producers of pet foods with raw meat because ________.

A. pet safety is a serious problem

B. most pets are lack of nutrition

C. feeding pets on raw is popular

D. the quality of pet foods is dropping

3. Those who feed pets on raw should do some necessary cleaning when ________.

A. preparing raw meat for pets

B. touching the food containers

C. taking their pets out for a walk

D. preparing foods for human beings

4.What suggestion is given to pet owners in the last paragraph?

A. Pets should be forbidden to eat raw bones.

B. Pets should be kept away from the raw meat.

C. Pets should be checked on their digestive system.

D. Pets should be watched carefully while eating bones.
