Question

5．最近某英文报联合你校对你市2001年到2011年家庭消费变化做了一个调查．请据以下图表写一篇短文，作一文字说明，并就此发表自己的看法．词数110左右．

Answer 1

分析 （高分句型一）As a result of such increase in the expenses on housing and food，expenses on other items have been reduced from 57% in 1998 to 28%in 2008．
     该句在表达1998年到2008年期间，花费增加时，使用了现在完成被动语态，即have been reduced；
（高分句型二）a conclusion can be drawn that as income increases，people can improve their living step．
改句式使用了被动语态，即a conclusion can be drawn；另外，that引导的从句为conclusion的同位语从句，指结论的内容；
高级词汇短语：grow to增加到；reduce to 减少到；draw a conclusion 得出…的结论；meet the basic needs．满足…的需求；

解答 The average family income in our Kangming City increased from 8，000 yuan per year in 1998 to 20，000 yuan in 2008．In the meantime，the structure of the average family expenses has changed，too．These graphs show the change clearly．
      The biggest part of the average family expenses is housing．In 1998，the average family spent 25 percent of its income on housing．In 2008，expenses on housing rose to 42 percent．Food and drink are the second biggest part of the average family expenses．In 1998，about 18% of the average income was spent on this item．In 2008，the figure grew to 30%．（高分句型一）As a result of such increase in the expenses on housing and food，expenses on other items have been reduced from 57% in 1998 to 28%in 2008．
      Thus，（高分句型二）a conclusion can be drawn that as income increases，people can improve their living step．But still the average family has to spend a large part of income to meet the basic needs．
