ervarietyofculturalgroupsthanLondonorSydney”可知,如今的奥克兰人口结构变得更加多元化。因此D项正确。29.C细微环节理解题。由第五段的“today23percentidentifythemselvesasAsian”可知,奥克兰的亚洲人口比例已接近四分之一。因此C项正确。30.D细微环节理解题。由倒数第四段的“thehealthcaresystemisattractingAsianworkers”可知,Spoonley认为新西兰的医疗体制吸引了亚洲移民。因此D项正确。31.A推理推断题。由倒数第三段的“ThearticlealsoshowedthatKiwishadoverallbecomemoreacceptingofmigrantcommunitiesandparticularlyofAsianpeoples.”可知,大多数新西兰人认为亚洲移民属于新西兰社会的一部分。因此A项正确。【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“日本人口老年化越来越严峻”这一现象,以及政府为应对劳动力短缺问题正在实行的措施。32.C推理推
