读图13最佳人口规模示意图,回答题。

小题1:关于图中人口规模的叙述正确的是

A.P′为环境最佳承载力

B.P-P′的区间是人口的最佳规模

C.P′为较高生产力水平条件下的合理人口容量

D.P为环境承载力小题2:图中反映了

A.人口规模与生活质量呈正相关关系

B.人口规模与生活质量呈负相关关系

C.当人口水平低于最佳人口规模时,人口的增长和生活质量的提高呈负相关

D.当人口水平高于最佳人口规模时,人口的增长将导致生活质量的下降

答案

小题1:C

小题2:D

题目分析:

小题1:根据图示两条曲线分别是不同生产力水平条件下生活质量与人口规模的相关关系,从图中可以看出,不同的生产力水平条件下,生活质量都是随人口规模的增大先提高后降低,生活质量的最高值所对应的人口规模就是在一定生产力水平条件下的最佳人口规模。故判断P为生产力发展水平较低时的最佳人口规模,P′为生产力水平较高时的最佳人口规模。

小题2:结合上题分析,当人口水平低于最佳人口规模时,人口的增长和生活质量的提高呈正相关;当人口水平高于最佳人口规模时,人口的增长将导致生活质量的下降。

点评:本题有一定难度,读图是解题的关键,学生应比较两条曲线的差异,结合影响人口合理容量的主要影响因素分布。

Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York,So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.

The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?

Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.

I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.

I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
