17 中华民族伟大复兴梦 2022 年中考英语时事热点话题题型专练 一、阅读填表 How will China change over the next five to ten years? The country’s future was recently discussed at the two sessions (两会) from March 4 to 11. A draft outline of the 14th Five-year Plan (2021-2025) was approved (通过). The 14th Five-year Plan has drawn great attention, since we consider this period as the start of China’s journey to fully build a modern socialist country. Here are some of the changes it includes. Research and development (R&D) Larger 5G networks and robot waiters will become more common in China. The country’s spending on R&D will go up by more than 7 percent per year during the 14th Five-year Plan period. This means that the government will build more labs. There will be more science and technology programs. The government will give research institutes (研究机构) more money to buy experimental equipment and pay salaries to researchers. Forest coverage There will be steady (稳定的) growth in China’s forest coverage, going from 23.04 percent in 2020 to 24.1 by 2025. This is higher than the global average figure of 22 percent. China will also use more clean energy sources, such as solar and wind energy. Life expectancy The life expectancy (预期寿命) of Chinese citizens is expected to increase by one year during the 14th Fiveyear Plan period. Life expectancy in China now is 77.3 years, higher than the average of medium-and-high-income countries. Public fitness programs will be carried out to raise life expectancy. For example, more exercise equipment will be built in communities. Years of education received by the working-age population The working-age population means those aged 15 to 64. Normally the more education the working-age population receives, the better products and services they’ll produce. By 2025, the working-age population will receive 11.3 years of education on average. This means most people will at least finish high school before getting a job. To realize this, the government will develop better and fairer education. For example, it will provide better schooling for children of rural migrant workers (农民工) in cities. It will continue to encourage universities to enroll (录取) more students from rural areas.
