It indicates that the percentage of elderl

11、y people (aged 65 and over) in all three countries is expected to increase to almost 25% of the respective populations by the year 2040. （总趋势）P2 In 1940 the proportion of people aged 65 or more stood at only 5% in Japan, approximately 7% in Sweden and 9% in the US. However, while the figures for the

12、 Western countries grew to about 15% in around 1990, the figure for Japan dipped to only 2.5% for much of this period, before rising to almost 5% again at the present time. P3 In spite of some fluctuation in the expected percentages, the proportion of older people will probably continue to increase

13、in the next two decades in the three countries. A more dramatic rise is predicted between 2030 and 2040 in Japan, by which time it is thought that the proportion of elderly people will be similar in the three countries. 方法2 第一步： 时态-过去时 现在时 将来时 第二步： 观察规律 1. 都大幅上升 2. 美国和瑞典前50年基本完全相同 3. 90年后，美国和瑞典分道扬镳，

17、a slight descend in the percentage of elderly people between 1940(5%) to 1960(3%), the figure remained steady until 1985, where upon it began to climb.
