很久很久以前，有一个王国，民殷国富，人们快乐的生活着。可从那一天开始，一切都改变了……

那一天，阳光明媚。国王在黄盖的阴影下，挺着圆滚滚的肚子，慢吞吞地走着。

突然，一个道士挡住了国王的路。锦衣卫立马出动，“嚓、嚓、嚓”宝剑统统出鞘。

“呵呵，政通人和、百废具兴，真是繁荣兴盛啊。只是……可惜，可惜啊……”道士捋着胡须说道。

因为国王是个信道的人，一听“可惜”二字就慌了神。

“把剑统统给我放下!”国王命令锦衣卫。

“道……道长，您可惜什么?”国王小心翼翼地问。

“可惜?我可惜这个国家的人口太少，太冷清，无法将此国内的鬼怪逼走。”

“如果，如果以后一起这样，我的国家会变成什么样子?”国王的嘴唇开始颤抖。

“你的国家会变成孤魂野鬼的领地!”道士有力地说出。

国王“蹭”的一下坐到了地上，他的额头密密麻麻地聚满了汗珠。

“那，那有什么办法吗?”

“办法就是增加人口数量。”

“好，好，我明白了。”

“来人啊，行，行赏。”国王赐给道士许多金银财宝。

国王回到了宫中，“变成孤魂野鬼的领地”“你的国家会变成孤魂野鬼的领地!”国王的耳旁一直回荡着这句话，“嘭”国王一拍桌子，响亮的说：“我的国家一定要有很多人，很多人，哈哈哈哈!”

在客栈的高等客房里，道士数着金银财宝，说：“哈哈哈哈，今天可是赚翻了，没想到，这么富有的国家竟会有个这么愚蠢的国王，连这种鬼话都信。真是服啊!哈哈!”

第二天。

皇榜前，聚集着很多人。

“唉，他们看什么呢?”

“管他呢，走，咱也过去看看。”

越来越多的人涌向皇榜。有个人惊讶地将皇榜上的字读了出来：“奉天乘运，皇帝诏曰：即日起，本国居民须急速产子，越多越好，最少不得少于十子。违反皇命者，杀无赦!钦此。”

“什么嘛，谁能生这么多啊。”

“就是，生这么多还不把人累死啊。”

“对呀。”

人们逐渐散开，虽然很不服，但还是遵守了。每家每户都一样，都有十个以上的孩子。毕竟有“杀无赦”逼着呢!

数年后。

大街上满满的全是人，几乎寸步难行。该国的商业，一天比一天发达，但失业者越来越多。

满头白发的国王看着报告兴奋得大笑着。“哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈……多好啊，你看。多好啊……”国王笑着笑着突然停住了，“咳咳咳咳咳咳咳咳!“国王开始了剧烈的咳嗽，面部逐渐惨白。终于咳出鲜血，死在书桌上。

国王驾崩，全国上下报丧三天。

第二天，太子身着孝服，双眼通红地走在护城楼上，向下一看。吓了一跳，哇塞!街上简直成了白色的海洋。人们你推我嚷，乱哄哄的。太子摸着下巴，想：“这人口也太多了。”

第三天，太子登基。

新的皇榜再次登出。

“哇，又有什么怪命令出来啦。”

“就是，上次的那个命令把我们害得可够惨的，我有十五个孩子被踩死了，幸运的是我还有三十五个孩子呢。”

“那这次是?”

“走吧，赶快过去看。”

街上形成了一个巨大的旋涡，很多人被踩死，过了好大一会儿，有人喊：“既然都看不到，那找一个嗓门高的人来念吧。”

于是，一人举着喇叭，念起来：“奉天乘运，皇帝诏曰：即日起，有人犯罪，一律死刑，不管犯事大小，一律斩首!钦此。”

“啊!”人们喊着，露出紧张的心情。

就算这样，还有人不遵守，小偷小摸、持刀抢劫，依然肆然。于是乎，新国王把所有犯事的人揪出来，扔到菜市口，被乱刀砍死。从那日开始，人们总是很忧郁，紧张的什么都不敢做。终于，半数以上的人患了神经衰弱，自杀而忘。新国王看到这种现象，刚沾沾自喜。便有兵来报。

“报~~~~，邻国出动100万大军杀过来啦。”

国王张大嘴巴，因为这个国家的人，就剩下30万人了。国王张大眼睛、嘴巴，坐在龙椅上，一动不动，直到被杀。

Population Burden

Many countries will experience aging populations in the next century because of declining birth and mortality rates. China will soon join their ranks.

As for the issue of aging, its situation has been growing increasingly severe in spite of the fact most people are still ignorant of the problems it brings about. Firstly, with families becoming smaller and living pace escalating, it is even graver for families to care for aged members adequately. Secondly, aging causes a relative decline in working force in that fewer people have to support the increasing aged people. Consequently, the productivity of the whole society is affected to some extent. Thirdly and most importantly, the aging of population in China resulted from the successful implementation of family planning has not been synchronized with national economic progress.

The rapidity of the populations aging has made it more urgent for the adoption of countermeasures. No doubt they key is to build a solid economic foundation. Meanwhile, importance shall be attached to overall social progress by changing the backward situation in social security, welfare and service. Whats more, family care and community services shall also be encouraged.

练完这篇四级作文押题预测以后，考生要注意归纳总结，以后在考试中遇到这类社会问题的作文就不用怕了。

Population officials and demographers have much to worry about China’s increasingly aging population. It is estimated that the proportion of people aged 60 or older in China will rise to 11.8 percent in 2020. By the middle of this century, people aged beyond 60 will take up 27.4 percent of the total population — that means one out of every four people will be senior!

The aging population poses a serious challenge to families and the society. On the one hand, with families becoming smaller and living pace escalating, it is even graver for families to care for aged members adequately. On the other hand, aging causes a relative decline in working force. Consequently, the productivity of the whole society will be affected to some extent.

The rapidity of the population’s aging has made it more urgent for the adoption of countermeasures. There is no doubt that the key is to build a solid economic foundation. Meanwhile, importance should be attached to overall social progress by changing the backward situation in social security, welfare and service. What’s more, family care and community-based services should also be encouraged.

how to solve the energy shortage（如何解决能源短缺问题）

energy shortage is a very serious problem in the world. many people worry that energy resources on the earth will be exhausted if we use them in an unchecked way. this, most people agree, will cause serious problems and even crisis and jeopardize the survival of mankind .

on the one hand, most people agree that the problem can be solved in one way or another. one is to conserve and save our energy. energy refers not only to coal, oil, or natural gases but also to goods, land and water, etc. most countries have realized the wastefulness in their using of energy. they are trying to conserve energy. for example, some countries have a daylight saving system to use less electricity for lighting. some cities have enforced water savers at public such as restrooms and bars. some have enforced serious penalties on overuse of electricity, water, and farming land. by these means, people hope the drain on energy resources could be slowed down.

however, conservation alone cannot solve the problem. another way, perhaps the best i think,, is to develop new energy resources. obviously, no matter how hard we try to save energy resources and how abundant they are, we will use them up sooner or later. i think there are many energy resources that we can develop and utilize. we don’t have to depend only on the current conventional energy resources. there are many other energy resources that we can develop such as nuclear power, waterpower and solar power. these resources, if developed, can completely replace the conventional energy and thus solve the problem of energy shortage.

As is known to us,China has the biggest population in the world,which is more than 1,300,000,000.Such a large population causes some problems in cities,thats the unemployment.Too many people gather in cities and the jobs are not enough.Some graduates cant find a job though they have left school for years.In addition,traffic jam is another problem resulting from the big population.There are too many cars on the roads and streets.

The situation of the countryside is not good.Too many people live in the countryside and we dont have enough farm land for them.

Fortunately,our government has realized the problems and has attached great importance to them.The government is trying its best to create more jobs and improve traffic systems.Moreover,the one-child policy has helped a lot.

look at your watch for just one minuite.During that time,The popuiation of the world increased by 259.Perhaps you think that is notmuch.Hoever,during the next hour,over15540 more babies will be born on the world.

众所周知,中国拥有世界上最大的人口超过1300000000。如此大的人口在城市造成一些问题,这是失业。很多人聚集在城市和工作是不够的。一些毕业生找不到工作,尽管他们已经离开学校好多年了。此外,交通堵塞造成的另一个问题是巨大的人口。有太多的汽车在公路和街道。

农村的情况是不好的。太多的人生活在农村,我们没有足够的农田。

幸运的是,我们的政府已经意识到问题,并重视他们。政府正在尽力创造更多的就业机会,改善交通系统。此外,独生子女政策已经帮助很多。

看看你的手表只有一个秒。在此期间,世界人口增加了259人。也许你认为这是更高的。Hoever,在接下来的一个小时里,over15540更多宝宝将出生在世界。

就这样,一个小时又一个小时。在某一天,人们要生产粮食fov 370000多的嘴。把这个by365。justthink多少会有一年!一百年后会发生什么事?

What Can We Do for the Environment

our environment is becoming worse and worse，what can we do for the environment?I think each of us can do a little bit to help with this problem.

The first thing we can do is to use cloth bags instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. It helps to protect the environment. The second thing we can do is to reuse the old textbooks as possible as we can. We should also never forget to turn off the lights when we leave the classrooms in order to save energy. Whats more，it would be better if we walk or ride a bike to school. We should try our best to reduce pollution and waste.

In fact，even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. I believe we can make the world a better place to live in.

3.为了保护地球有限的资源，我们应该采取什么措施呢?请根据下面的提示写一篇约80词的短文，短文开头已经给出。提示词;1.save water，the source of life，protect drinking water，stop polluting，make full use of it;2.save electricity，crucial，turn off，other electric machines;3. save forests，useful，stop cutting down;4.recycle useful rubbish，save resources

参考作文：

Although the world develops much faster and better，the resources on the earth get fewer and fewer.In order to protect them，something must be done.

Save water. Water is the source of life. No water，no life. So its very important for us to do so.Not only should we protect drinking water and stop polluting it，but also make full use of it.

Save electricity. It is crucial. We cant imagine what the life will be like without it.Everyone should do his best to save electricity. Dont forget to turn off lights or other electric machines when we finish working.

Save forests. They are useful .Please stop cutting them down and use recycled paper instead. Make our world a green one to live in.

Recycle useful rubbish. Plenty of rubbish can be recycled like cans，paper，bottles，and so on.

We can save resources in this way. I believe we can make the world a better place to live in.

the lucky-number has become increasingly popular in daily life of mordern socialty. for example, the number eight means big money which people like most, while the number four means death.

some people believe lucky numbers so deeply that they will afford a telephone with numbers without four and others which is bad in their mind. they argue that the lucky-number really can bring good luck, and, at least, no evidence testify they can not.

as far as i am concerned, there is no such relationship betwwen the numbers and lucky, for the reason that numbers theirself are given certain meaning for the purpose of application of mathmetic. and, in addition, man should not depend on lucky which, in their mind, the numbers gives them.

Nowadays we have to face the problem that there is a sharp increasing in population of China,and people tend to get more and more old,but many of us didnt realize it,and still ignore the Family planning,especially rural areas,4 people or even more in a family isnt a strange phenomenon.There is another important problem that more male than female needs to be paied more attention.If we all want to solve these questions,all we have to do is not only government appeal to all of us ,but als o everyone of this country get down to this.

如今我们必须面对一个问题,那就是中国人口不断暴涨,人口老龄化趋势日益严重,可是很多人并没有意识到这一点,依然弃计划生育于不顾,特别是农村人口,常常一家4口甚至更多.男多于女是人口的另一个重要问题,需要引起我们的重视.要解决这一切不仅需要政府的呼吁还需要我们大家着手去做.

Progress in science and the improvement of living conditions have led to the rapid growth of the world population. Modern medicine, for example, has made it possible for babies to grow up healthily and for people to live longer. With improved living conditions, particularly in the countryside, people tend to have larger families. As a result, the world population has increased so rapidly that it has now exceeded 6 billion.

But the overgrowth of population presents a threat to the existence of human society. A large population demands a GREat deal of food supply and shelter space. However, limited productivity and scarce world resources can hardly meet the needs of the ever-increasing population. Thus, in the long run, the overgrowth of the world population will only harm mankind.

To guarantee the steady development of human society, mankind must realize the consequences resulting from fast population growth and carry out a family planning programme. Only by adopting effective measures, can human society develop steadily and have a bright future.

北京大学社会人口学教授李建新表示,现在的年轻人,尤其是城市长大的年轻人,不大可能不考虑这一决定所要面临的经济挑战而冒然决定要二胎.

Li Jianxin, a professor of social demography at Peking University, says that the younger generation, especially those living in cities, are unlikely to have more children without first considering the economic challenges that decision might bring.

“80后一代人的生活方式和观点与50后、60后有着明显的不同,”李教授说,“多数人不想要那么多孩子,孩子的健康更重要.”

The lifestyle and viewpoints of the post-80s generation are totally different from the 50s and 60s generations, Li said. "Many Chinese want to give birth to fewer but healthier children."

25岁的上海摄影师原田只有1个1岁大的女儿.考虑到抚养1个孩子的成本以及生孩子对自己事业发展所造成的挑战,她觉得1个孩子就足够了.

Yuan Tian, a 25-year-old photographer in Shanghai, has a 1-year-old daughter. And one, she says, is enough – due both to the cost of raising a child and to the challenges a child poses to developing a career.

“生孩子对我的事业影响很大,”她说,“重新回到岗位后,我要花几个月的时间才能赶上同事的步伐.而且也不能把全部精力都集中在工作上,我不得不早点离开办公室去照顾女儿.”

Giving birth really affected my career, she said. "When I returned to work, it took me several months to catch up with my colleagues again. And I cant focus on my work, since I need to leave the office early to take care of my daughter."

When I walk on the street, I found most people don’t obey the traffic rules, they just ignore the rules, when there are a lot of people go across the street, they just follow them. It is so dangerous, the accident is very easy to happen, the car will hit the people any time. For the safety, we should obey the traffic rules.

当我走在街上的时候，我发现很多人不遵守交通规则，他们忽视规则，当很多人过马路的时候，他们跟着人群。这是很危险的，很容易发生意外，车子会随时撞到人。出于安全问题，我们应该遵守交通规则。

Population expansion is one of the most serious problems in the world. With better hygienic conditions and better medical care, fewer babies die today. But the birth rate remains unchanged. Moreover, the death rate has been lowered considerably by various kinds of progress. People generally live longer than they used to. All these contribute to a series of problem: shortage of national resources and food supply crowded cities and high rate of unemployment.

To solve all these problems, we must take measures to control birth rate. The first important step is to educate people-to help them understand the advantages of small families. Another important measure is to raise peoples living standards. When people full understand the consequences of population expansion, and when their standard of living is raised, the birth rate will decline without compulsion.

Though it is a difficult task, we should try in a thousand and one ways to carry out birth control If we fail to do so, the world will be too crowded to live in, and the natural resources will be used up. Then we will no longer survive on earth.

“你如果要体会什么是沮丧，你就在春节前后到北京或广州的火车站去看看。一张张怆惶的脸在人群中涌动。你这时才知道了一个民族的伤口在哪里。”刚分到国家计生委的研究生小M对几位作家这样描述。他工作的国家计生委在二十年中使中国少生了5个亿，这个数字推迟了灾难降临中国大陆。但他们要忍受很多来自国际上的谴责以及国内的不理解、甚至基层工作人员被暴力侵害。而且这个单位一直被忽视……

人口灾难是否会降临，我们不得而知。我们只知道未来一个世纪中国大陆最大的问题(比环境、****、经济、教育更严峻)是人口问题。

大陆老农穷贫到极点却不忘生孩子

“你猜我们家的保姆家里有几个小孩，你保准猜不着，她兄弟姐妹9个。”女作家项小米对我叹道：“太可怕了!他们陕西那什么县，普遍如此，都是七八个孩子。没活干，没田种，树全砍秃了，地慢慢变成沙漠，这些人要吃饭，就都跑到城里。把城里弄的脏乱差，犯罪率激升。就冲这我也要把我女儿送到美国……”

记者在近一两年中发现，这种一家生五六个、七八个的现象在大陆许多地方

相当普遍。计划生育的国策，各地执行是很弹性的，有的地方甚至变成干部敛钱的工具，你不是要生吗?拿钱来。

实际上，独生子女政策已经成为汪洋大海中的城市孤岛的一块招牌。

记者几年前到国家贫困县山西大宁采访扶贫款被贪污案时，曾到一个家徒四壁的山民家里走访，这家主人，一个四五十岁的低矮老农，连遭不幸，不仅被干部用他的名字领扶贫款，却分文没给他，最小的男孩子还被山草中的蛇咬伤，性命垂危。当我们走进他山坳中的窑洞时，他哭了起来，我们力所能及地给了他一点资助，他扑通跪在地上以表感激。当知道他有多少孩子时，我们几个人都大吃一惊，八个。

这完全出乎我们的意料，多年来计划生育大好形势的宣传，使我们觉得农村最多能生两个，即使那些一味抗法、被扒屋毁灶的人，也只能有三到四个孩子。

而八个是什么数字?那是比1949年前还多的一个数字。也可能这些家庭比起1949年前，住房改善不大、食物够吃了但质量没好多少，但抗生素等类药品的普及确实使死婴现象少多了。1949年以前，一个农民家庭也能生很多孩子，但最终成活的只有一半强。所以虽然现在有计划生育的约束，农村人口还是猛增。

记者到陕西靖边采访时，发现那里的农民虽然被各种杂税弄得苦不堪言，而且土地日益干旱和荒漠化，生活很艰难，同样也生很多孩子。一个家庭有四五个孩子是很普通的，甚至是数量最少的。

一位女记者在山西大宁县一个很穷的山村金疙瘩村采访时，发现那里农民平均六个孩子。一个五六岁的小女孩告诉她，她有四个哥哥和一个妹妹。有人指着另一个红衣女孩说：“这孩子的父亲弟兄三个，每个都有六个孩子。”女记者了解到，金疙瘩村几乎没有三胎的，大多是五、六胎，最多的一家七胎，且大部分家中有二、三个男孩。

在连吃水都困难的地方，却要生那么多的孩子，他们一起向大地索要，于是大地更加贫困和病态。

贫穷、愚昧、受欺压，生孩子，这四者是紧密相联的。

Good afternoon, everyone!

We are studying in this school, and it is our duty to keep it clean and tidy. It’s not good to spit in public places, such as in the school library, in the classroom, etc. We should neither draw pictures on the walls nor throw rubbish here and there. I think we must make it a rule to do some cleaning every day. If everyone tried his best to do something useful for our school, I’m sure it will be more and more beautiful.

That’s all. Thank you.

这完全出乎我们的意料，多年来计划生育大好形势的宣传，使我们觉得农村最多能生两个，即使那些一味抗法、被扒屋毁灶的人，也只能有三到四个孩子。

而八个是什么数字?那是比1949年前还多的一个数字。也可能这些家庭比起1949年前，住房改善不大、食物够吃了但质量没好多少，但抗生素等类药品的普及确实使死婴现象少多了。1949年以前，一个农民家庭也能生很多孩子，但最终成活的只有一半强。所以虽然现在有计划生育的约束，农村人口还是猛增。

记者到陕西靖边采访时，发现那里的农民虽然被各种杂税弄得苦不堪言，而且土地日益干旱和荒漠化，生活很艰难，同样也生很多孩子。一个家庭有四五个孩子是很普通的，甚至是数量最少的。

一位女记者在山西大宁县一个很穷的山村金疙瘩村采访时，发现那里农民平均六个孩子。一个五六岁的小女孩告诉她，她有四个哥哥和一个妹妹。有人指着另一个红衣女孩说：“这孩子的父亲弟兄三个，每个都有六个孩子。”女记者了解到，金疙瘩村几乎没有三胎的，大多是五、六胎，最多的一家七胎，且大部分家中有二、三个男孩。

在连吃水都困难的地方，却要生那么多的孩子，他们一起向大地索要，于是大地更加贫困和病态。

贫穷、愚昧、受欺压，生孩子，这四者是紧密相联的。

越来越多汽车进入我们的家庭生活，改善了我们的生活，但同时也带来了很多问题，如塞车和车祸，给家庭和社会带来极大的危害。作为中学生，我们应该怎样做呢?

With more and more cars coming into our families, we are happy that it has greatly improved our life. But unluckily, it has also brought many problems, such as heavy traffic and traffic accidents.

Traffic safety is everybodys business. We must obey the rules. For example, we must walk on walk side, when we cross zebra – crossing, stop and look right and left, then go across fast. Don’t play football on the road .we can tell our parents not to drink before they drive, not to run through red lights, not to talk and laugh while driving etc.

We can say cars are coming into our life, but only when everybody thinks traffic safety is everybodys business can we be safe driving on roads and walking on sidewalks.

Safety is very important. We often hear people say “safety first”. As a middle school student, we should learn to protect ourselves from every possible danger. Here are some things I do. I hope you can follow them.

On your way to school and home. You should obey the traffic rules. You should walk on the right side of the road. Don’t ride your bike too fast.

During school, you can’t fight with each other. Don’t play with fire. Don’t bring knife to school. Don’t go out of school without your teacher’s permission.

When you are at home, remember not to ask the door for strangers. Don’t give your home address, phone number or personal information to anybody else too casually.
