28、lands population to be made (the survey did not cover other areas),the number of people has been increasing. This growth has continued despite some setbacks, by far the most serious of which was the Black Death in the mid-14th century, in which it is estimated that about one third of the population

29、died. There is little concrete information, however, concerning variation in rates of births to deaths and of immigration to emigration until 1801,when the first official census(人口普查) was takenThe assumption is that a population of about two million lived in what became the United Kingdom at the end

30、 of the 11th century and that this figure had increased to about 12 million by 1801. This slow growth rate, in contrast with that of more modern times, resulted mainly from the fact that a high birth rate was accompanied by an almost equally high death rateIt is estimated that in the first half of t

31、he 18th century three quarters of the children born in London died before they reached adolescenceDespite the awful living conditions it produced, the Industrial Revolution resulted in an acceleration of the birth rate; gradually the greater medical knowledge, improved nutrition, and concern for pub

32、lic health that characterized the 19th and 20th centuries bore fruit in a lower death rate and an overall increase in population. Since the 1930s the population has experienced a complete cycle in its pattern of growthA low rate of increase during the 1930s was followed by a postwar marriage boom th

33、at gave rise to an acceleration in the rate of growth, reaching a peak during the mid-1960s. Since 1964, a considerable fall in the birth rate has brought about a dramatic decline in growth, even giving rise to an absolute decline between 1974 and 1978.36. Which of the following statements is true a

34、s to the Domes Day Survey? A It was made in 1086 to show the variation in population growth in England. B It was a compilation that first gave an estimation of the population of England. C It gave an account of the Black Death in the mid-14th century. D It studied the relation of birth rate to death

35、 rate. 37In 1801, it was discovered that _. A. one third of the population died in the Black Death B. the population had increased rapidly due to higher rates of birth and immigration C. the population had grown very slowly since 1086 D. 10 million children had been born since 1086 38. The populatio

36、n growth in England began to increase rapidly _. A. since 1801 when the first official census was taken B. in the 18th century when industrial revolution began C. in the 19th century when death rate was greatly reduced D. in the 1930s before the world war broke out 39. The growth rate of population

37、reached the highest point _. A. in the1930s B. during mid-1960sC. between 1964 and 1967 D. between 1974 and 1978 BWhile researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, its not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality - tall people are just

38、smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds. As early as age three - before schooling has had a chance to play a role - and throughout childhood, taller children perform significantly better on cognitive tests, wrote Anne Case and Christina Paxson of Princeton University in a paper

39、 published by the National Bureau of Economic Research. The findings were based primarily on two British studies that followed children born in 1958 and 1970, respectively, through adulthood and a U.S. study on height and occupational choice. Other studies have pointed to low self-esteem, better hea

40、lth that accompanies greater height, and social discrimination as culprits(罪犯) for lower pay for shorter people. But researchers Case and Paxson believe the height advantage in the job world is more than just a question of image. As adults, taller individuals are more likely to select into higher pa

41、ying occupations that require more advanced verbal and numerical skills and greater intelligence, for which they earn handsome returns, they wrote. For both men and women in the United States and the United Kingdom, a height advantage of four inches equated with a 10 percent increase in wages on ave

42、rage. But the researchers said the differences in performance crop up long before the tall people enter the job force. Prenatal care(产前护理) and the time between birth and the age of 3 are critical periods for determining future cognitive ability and height. Prenatal care and prenatal nutrition are ju

43、st incredibly important, even more so than we already knew, Case said in an interview. Since the studys data only included populations in the United Kingdom and the United States, the findings could not be applied to other regions, Case said. And how tall are the researchers? They are both about 5 f

44、eet 8 inches tall, well above the average height of 5 feet 4 inches for American women. 40. What can be learnt from the study of Anne Case and Christina Paxson is that _ .A. the reason for lower pay for shorter people is social discriminationB. taller children perform significantly better on cogniti

45、ve testC. tall people earn more than shorter counterpartsD. prenatal care and prenatal nutrition are less important than we already knew41. Which period is the most important for determining future cognitive ability and height?A. between age 3 and schooling B. between birth and the age of 3C. the wh
