1.Passage 2

新旧情况:新题

题材:农工业类

题目:新方法解决洪都拉斯农业问题。

文章大意:

讲的是Honduras的农业,前面一半讲种植,过去人们采用刀耕火种的方式

(slash-and-burn):就是先把一片树林砍伐成平地,半年以后再在上面种植植物,这就是造成了土地肥力下降,所以人们就不得不再砍伐新的树林来开辟耕地。后面讲的是政府推广了一种新的种植方法(L方法具体名字不记得),具体方法就是先在原耕地上种一种能快速生长的树,而且优点是不需要经常照料(attention填空题答案),之后把树的叶子(leaves填空题答案)看下来做肥料,一段时间之后在堆肥的地方挖洞(holes填空题答案)中庄家进去。

2.Descriptive statistics involves tabulating, depicting, and describing collections of data. These data may be quantitative, such as measures of height, intelligence, or grade level - variables that are characterized by an underlying continuum - orthe data may represent qualitative variables, such as sex, college major, or personality type. Large masses of data must generally undergo a process of summarization or reduction before they are comprehensible. Descriptive statistics is a tool for describing or summarizing or reducing to comprehensible form the properties of an otherwise unwieldy mass or data. Inferential statistics is a formalized body of methods for solving another class of problems that present great difficulties for the unaided human mind. This general class of problems characteristically involves attempts to make predictions using a sample of observations. For example, a school superintendent wishes to determine the proportion of children in a large school system who come to school without breakfast, have been vaccinated for flu, or whatever. Having a little knowledge of statistics, the superintendent would know that it is unnecessary and inefficient to question each child; the proportion for the entire district could be estimated fairly accurately from a sample of as few as l00 children. Thus, the purpose of inferential statistics is to predict or estimate characteristics of a

(B) descriptive statistics

(C) unknown variables

(D) qualitative changes

雅思阅读选择题解题技巧

雅思阅读选择题解题技巧 雅思阅读选择题解题技巧这篇*系统地给大家讲解一下雅思阅读当中选择题这种题型的有关知识点,其中包括雅思阅读选择题的题型要求和特点,做题步骤和解题技巧。下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。 雅思阅读选择题解题技巧 雅思阅读选择题解题技巧为大家带来雅思阅读中最常见的 一种题型之一——选择题的解题方法和技巧的总结。选择题是我们非常熟悉也是雅思阅读的高频常客之一。虽说选择题无论随便乱选一个选项都有25%的正确率,如果掌握了正确的做题方法和步骤,就有机会达到100%正确率。 Multiple Choice(选择题) 题型要求 这是一个传统题型,大家都很熟悉。但就是这种大家都熟悉的题型,IELTS考试也要弄出新花样:四选一和多选多两种。 四选一,选项肯定是四个。即要求从A、B、C、D四项中选择一个最符合题意的选项。

多选多,选项肯定是五个或五个以上,而正确答案的数目肯定在两个以上。 哪个更难呢?很多同学会好不犹豫地说是多选多。实际上,多选多很容易,是一种简单题型。它具有以下几个特点: (1) 正确答案的数目是已知的。在题目的要求中会告诉你要选出几个选项。题目要求中常WHICH FOUR,WHICH THREE 等字样。 (2) 答案在原文中是集中出现的,对应原文中的例举。找着一个答案,其余几个就在它的前后不远处。 我们举一个中文阅读的例子来说明。*如下: 帕金森症是一种顽症。它是由大脑中缺乏一种叫多巴胺的化学物质引起的。(后面删减100字)很多名人深受其苦。比如,我们的改革的总设计师邓小平、拳王阿里、以故数学家陈景润等等。(后面删减100字) 题目是:以下哪三个人得过帕金森症?

2015年雅思阅读模拟试题及答案解析三

Time to cool it 1 REFRIGERATORS are the epitome of clunky technology: solid, reliable and just a little bit dull. They have not changed much over the past century, but then they have not needed to. They are based on a robust and effective idea--draw heat from the thing you want to cool by evaporating a liquid next to it, and then dump that heat by pumping the vapour elsewhere and condensing it. This method of pumping heat from one place to another served mankind well when refrigerators' main jobs were preserving food and, as air conditioners, cooling buildings. Today's high-tech world, however, demands high-tech refrigeration. Heat pumps are no longer up to the job. The search is on for something to replace them. 2 One set of candidates are known as paraelectric materials. These act like batteries when they undergo a temperature change: attach electrodes to them and they generate a current. This effect is used in infra-red cameras. An array of tiny pieces of paraelectric material can sense the heat radiated by, for example, a person, and the pattern of the array's electrical outputs can then be used to construct an image. But until recently no one had bothered much with the inverse of this process. That inverse exists, however. Apply an appropriate current to a paraelectric material and it will cool down. 3 Someone who is looking at this inverse effect is Alex Mischenko, of Cambridge University. Using commercially available paraelectric film, he and his colleagues have generated temperature drops five times bigger than any previously recorded. That may be enough to change the phenomenon from a laboratory curiosity to something with commercial applications. 4 As to what those applications might be, Dr Mischenko is still a little hazy. He has, nevertheless, set up a company to pursue them. He foresees putting his discovery to use in more efficient domestic fridges and air conditioners. The real money, though, may be in cooling computers. 5 Gadgets containing microprocessors have been getting hotter for a long time. One consequence of Moore's Law, which describes the doubling of the number of transistors on a chip every 18 months, is that the amount of heat produced doubles as well. In fact, it more than doubles, because besides increasing in number,the components are getting faster. Heat is released every time a logical operation is performed inside a microprocessor, so the faster the processor is, the more heat it generates. Doubling the frequency quadruples the heat output. And the frequency has doubled a lot. The first Pentium chips sold by Dr Moore's company,Intel, in 1993, ran at 60m cycles a second. The Pentium 4--the last "single-core" desktop processor--clocked up 3.2 billion cycles a second. 6 Disposing of this heat is a big obstruction to further miniaturisation and higher speeds. The innards of a desktop computer commonly hit 80℃. At 85℃, they

搞懂雅思阅读四大逻辑关系秒上7

搞懂雅思阅读四大逻辑关系秒上7.5 雅思阅读到底考我们什么?词汇?语法?篇章结构?推断能力? 小编相信大家都知道雅思阅读不考语法,也不单纯考词汇,但是词汇量越大,语法越好,读起文章来就越轻松,做起题来就越得心应手--特别是对于填空类题目更是如此。那么是不是意味着,词汇量大,语法很好,就能够轻松拿到高分?答案自然是否定的,英语博士们不是个个都能做满分的,但是普通大学生,甚至是高中生,也有可能拿到高分。我的学生里,有高中生考到了7.5,甚至8.5的。那这里面的奥秘又在哪里呢?一个学员在有了词汇、语法的基础上怎么才能向高分发起冲刺呢,这里我们要探讨就是雅思阅读考试里面所隐含的逻辑关系,理清了这些逻辑关系,搞明白了文章和题目的基本思路,那么许许多多的问题就迎刃而解了。 雅思阅读里隐含的逻辑结构林林总总,但是大致我们可以归纳为以下四种,我们叫做雅思阅读四大逻辑关系:并列逻辑关系,转折逻辑关系,比较逻辑关系,因果逻辑关系。 这四种逻辑关系不仅涉及到了题目的半壁江山,而且对于理解一篇文章,或者段落的某些句子具有重大意义,接下来,我就讲一一分解它们,希望能给学习雅思阅读的同学一些启示和参考。 一、并列逻辑关系 并列逻辑关系是这四种逻辑关系里面最简单,最容易理解的一种,对于很多同学来说,无外乎就是and,or这两个词。 二、因果逻辑关系

既然是因果关系,那么就存在谁因谁果的问题,世间没有无因之果,也没有无果之因,cause和effect是相互依存的,在任何一个句子中出现了表述原因的词,必然能看到其结果,反之亦然。 三、比较逻辑关系 说到比较逻辑关系,大家可能首先想到的则是T,F,NG中对比较关系的判断,诚然,判断题里比较级是一大考点,但是比较逻辑关系的运用比这要广泛得多,做此类题时要记住两个原则即可: 原则一:但凡题目出现了比较逻辑关系,那么原文中答案所在的句子也必然会有比较逻辑关系出现,只是其关系词表述形式可能会替换 原则二:如果题目存在比较级,回原文去找比较级,如果题目是最高级,则抓最高级,或者extremely,或者比较级和最高级替换着找都可。 四、转折逻辑关系 转折经常给我们的生活带来各种惊喜,当然也不乏刚才例子里这种"惊喜",那么这种逻辑关系跟我们的雅思阅读又有什么关系呢?作为雅思阅读四大逻辑关系之终结篇,本文将深入探讨转折逻辑关系在雅思阅读中的广泛运用与实战要领。转折逻辑关系词的运用,一如之前介绍过的三种逻辑关系词一样,绝不是光背背几个常见替换就可以熟练运用的,学员在运用的过程中一定要深刻体会它们所体现的逻辑关系,所涉及的要素,以及作者的意图等等,反复练习,建立良好的意识,方能玩转这些逻辑关系词。

雅思阅读细节匹配题型怎么提高

雅思阅读细节匹配题型怎么提高本期为大家带来的是雅思阅读中段落细节信息匹配题,题目一般为句子,A reference to…An explanation of…A reason for…开头一般比较抽象,所以题目中的Key Words经常出现在后半部分,抽象的description,statement,details都不可作为Key Words。 这里请注意,匹配题作为难题担当,一般是会出现乱序的,即你在原文可能先读到后面题目的答案句。这样的话,建议的是划出匹配题中所有关键词,遇到哪题的答案句先解那道题。 也有给出ABC+描述型句子的匹配,这种类型较简单,一般选项就可以回原文定位,加上描述中关键词的定位,每道题答案通常离得不远,一般都是顺序做题。 你可能会说这么多关键词怎么记,这就表明短时间的记忆力对于做题是很必要的了。划定的KW也有其特征,对于阅读同义替换总结记忆得越熟练,解题就越快,因为同义替换就是雅思的考点,答案一般都被同义替换了,如果识别不了,自然就做不出来。>>>点击咨询雅思阅读技巧 雅思阅读题型 做题时,首先读懂题目说的是什么,如果题目都没读懂就仓促找KW,那只能是浪费时间。接下来画出KW(作用是帮在原文定位关键句)然后读原文,遇到KW时即可回到题目做匹配。这类题目难点在于如果对KW的同义替换不敏感,容易漏掉题目。因此建议平时加强同义替换的总结与记忆,在考试中做到不返回看,除非最后还有时间,不然就会做不完。 注意在原文中寻找时,答案通常是一个关键的句子,不用通过整个段落去判断,最多多看关键句前后两句即可。这要求我们对雅思文章行文结构有一定了解,并且结合skinning & scanning的阅读方式。雅思文章大多来源于学术期刊的论文,包含说明文和议论文体裁,议论文中,文章结构可能是层层递进,先给出一个背景引入,然后给出相关信息,再提出作者自己的见解;说明文结构较好把握,一般是总-分-(总)的写作模式,先开门见山地给出一个理论,通常某一题的答案在第一段就会出现了,然后分别论述几个要点,最后再给出新的观点或对主题的升华,比如future,suggestion这样的字眼。 新通教育

最新雅思阅读解题技巧方法——选择题

选择题解题技巧 一分类:四选一(单选),多选多, 主旨题 一单选题(得分题) 二顺序性:有序 三解题步骤 1.读题目和选项, 划定位词。 注意:1选项快看 2选项主要关注各项不同处(谓语就不同的话,主要关注谓语即可,宾语略看或不看. 另外,还要关注各项感情色彩的不同!!!) 2.复记题目和选项关键词 为毛? 因为若记得好,文中看到时能立马反映出,直选法,正确率高) (***小标题题,匹配题,选择三类看的内容多,不像填空判断摘要填空,只是一两句,所以要复记) 3.回原文定位考点。 4.比较原文与选项,确定答案. 注意:(**与原文用词太简单一致(尤其形容词动词)的要小心。 3. 正确选项多有同替。) 四直选法和排除法 直选法:看到与某选项含义接近的原文,直接选!(又快又准),不关注剩余项的对错和理由(每题四个点,时间不够的!) 排除法: 都没把握,才用排除法(排除毫无关系和冲突的)(比较费时间),排除很不靠谱的,剩下的是只能是答案. 五注意事项: ●选择题里常有些好定位的题(如明定/根据第五段),挑出来先做,不要按正常顺序做. ●题目不好定位时,选项中常有名定如大写,数字,用选项内容定位 ●避免根据自己的认知自行选择, 尽量在原文在找到考点,正确率高 ●选择题特点是阅读量大,关键是读题读文快,并尽量读一遍就理解 ●若这组题目都无明定,都不好定位,读2,3题关键词,一起定位,效率高(其他题型也是)●选择题正确答案是与原文最接近的一个,即使其他三个也与原文有关。 ●注意选项中是否有both…and…或者all of the above ,若有很可能选它们(出现不多)●注意题干中是否有EXCEPT字样 例如:Many cities are included in this program EXCEPT________

雅思阅读模拟试题及答案解析(2)

Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty A. After a period of introversion and stunned self-disbelief,continental European governments will recover their enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in . Whether the European public will welcome a return to what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time before is another matter. B. There are several reasons for Europe’s recovering self-confidence. For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia), but in the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade, briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag,’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in , though the recovery may be ebbing by then. C. The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years, European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty: the Maastricht treaty in 1992, the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997, the Treaty of Nice in . And in they were supposed to ratify a European constitution, laying the ground for yet more integration—until the calm rhythm was rudely shattered by French and Dutch voters. But the political impetus to sign something every four or five years has only been interrupted,not immobilised, by this setback. D. In the European Union marks the 50th anniversary of another treaty—the Treaty of Rome, its founding charter. Government leaders have already agreed to celebrate it ceremoniously, restating their commitment to “ever closer union” and the basic ideals of European unity. By itself, and in normal circumstances, the EU’s 50th-birthday greeting to itself would be fairly meaningless, a routine expression of European good fellowship. But it does not take a Machiavelli to spot that once governments have signed the declaration (and it seems unlikely anyone would be so uncollegiate as to veto

雅思阅读填空题(让考官告诉你)

雅思阅读summary填空题是雅思阅读题中常见题型, 在阅读考试中占较大的比重. 同时也是众多考生头痛的一种题型. 因为此题型不仅考查考生快速准确理解阅读文章的主旨能力, 也考查考生对定位,同义转化以及语义间逻辑关系的灵敏度. 总的来说, 雅思阅读summary填空题主要有两种形式: 一种是单词填空式, 这种形式主要针对文章全文或者部分段落写出的一篇摘要, 空出若干空格, 要求考生从文章中寻找相应的单词进行填空; 另一种是单词选择式, 就是在第一种形式的基础上, 额外提供了一个词库, 要求考生从词库中选词填空. 下面环球雅思的老师将详细讲解如何快速而有效的解答这两种形式的summary填空题. 单词填空式 解题策略 对于单词填空式题, 一般把握三个关键信息: 逻辑关系词, 语法属性, 定位. 首先, 观察空格前后是否有语义间有逻辑关系的连接词, 即逻辑关系词推断. 这类表示空格前后内容逻辑关系的连接词主要包括:

①表示因果关系的词, 如because, as, since, for, due to, thanks to, as a result of等. 在考试中, 在因果关系中除了一些连接词的衔接外, 还有一些表示因果关系的大词, 如trigger, breed, induce, engender, generate, be responsible for, affect, determine等, 这些词在语义中隐含了因果关系. 所以也是考生在解题中值得注意的. ②表示转折关系的词, 如but, however, while, yet, instead, rather, whereas等 ③表示让步关系的词, 如despite, in spite of, although等 ④表示并列关系的词, 如and, both…and…, neither…nor等 ⑤表示举例关系的词, 如such as, for example等 观察有无这类词的目的在于为了回原文定位时, 能缩小寻找范围, 使定位更加准确. 在文章阅读中, 题目中的某些单词会进行同义转换而变得面目全非,但是句意不会变,语义关系不会变,这是最可靠的定位依据。从而逻辑关系词对于考生在解题中把握语义间的内在关系起了关键作用. 如剑桥4 Test 2 Passage 1 Lost for words 一篇中的summary 题中This great variety of languages came about largely as a result of geographical ___Q1______. But in today’s world, factors such as government initiatives and ____Q2_____ are contributing to a huge decrease in the number of languages. One factor which may help to ensure that some endangered languages do not die out completely is people’s increasing appreciation of their ____Q3_____.

雅思阅读选择题四种解题技巧

雅思阅读选择题四种解题技巧 雅思阅读选择题总会用各个选项来迷惑人,下面教育优选来为大家分享雅思阅读选择题的解题技巧 1. 如果一个选项合乎题意,还要看其它选项中是否有both…and、all of theabove 的字样。 我们举一个中文阅读的例子: 原文:如果你随便停车,要罚你款,还要把你的车拖走。 题目:如果你随便停车,将: A. 被罚款 B. 你的车被拖走 C. 没事儿 D. both被罚款and你的车被拖走答案:D 如果选项中有一个是all of the above,它是正确选项的可能性很大。Both…and是正确选项比all of the above小一些。总之,如果一个选项合乎题意,不要马上选。看一眼其余选项中是否有both…and,all of theabove的字样。 2. 注意题干中是否有not,except的字样。 题干中有这些词时,通常是将它们大写并使用黑体,特别醒目。如果不注意看,必然答错题。

如前面的关于帕金森症的中文阅读文章,可能出一道四选一的题目: 题目:下面的人得过帕金森症EXCEPT A. 邓小平 B. 里根 C. 拳王阿里 D. 陈景润答案:B 3. 干扰选项的特点 做选择题的过程就是与干扰选项做斗争的过程。清楚干扰选项的特点,就能做到百战百胜。干扰选项特征如下: A. 无 选项中所讲的内容在原文中根本不存在,或找不到语言依据。要注意,答题的唯一依据是原文,不能凭借自己的知识或主观想象。 B. 反 与原文相矛盾的选项。这时要注意题干或原文中是否有NOT、EXECPT等词,也要注意反义词。 C. 满 含有“绝对意义”的词汇如must、always、all、will的选项,一般为错误选项。选项中含有“相对意义”的词汇如can、may、sometimes、some、not always,一般为正确答案。也就是说,越是模棱两可、含含糊糊,越可能是正确答案,因为它适用的范围更广。这条规律的适用性很强,实践证明它的准确率在90%以上。 D. 偏 似是而非,与原句部分相似的选项。这是不太容易排除的。

ACADEMIC READING 60 minutes READING PASSAGE 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13 which are based on Reading Passage 1 below. Striking Back at Lightning With Lasers Seldom is the weather more dramatic than when thunderstorms strike. Their electrical fury inflicts death or serious injury on around 500 people each year in the United States alone. As the clouds roll in, a leisurely round of golf can become a terrifying dice with death - out in the open, a lone golfer may be a lightning bolt's most inviting target. And there is damage to property too. Lightning damage costs American power companies more than $100 million a year. But researchers in the United States and Japan are planning to hit back. Already in laboratory trials they have tested strategies for neutralising the power of thunderstorms, and this winter they will brave real storms, equipped with an armoury of lasers that they will be pointing towards the heavens to discharge thunderclouds before lightning can strike. The idea of forcing storm clouds to discharge their lightning on command is not new. In the early 1960s, researchers tried firing rockets trailing wires into thunderclouds to set up an easy discharge path for the huge electric charges that these clouds generate. The technique survives to this day at a test site in Florida run by the University of Florida, with support from the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI), based in California. EPRI, which is funded by power companies, is looking at ways to protect the United States' power grid from lightning strikes. 'We can cause the lightning to strike where we want it to using rockets,' says Ralph Bernstein, manager of lightning projects at EPR!. The rocket site is providing precise measurements of lightning voltages and allowing engineers to check how electrical equipment bears up. Bad behaviour But while rockets are fine for research, they cannot provide the protection from lightning strikes that everyone is looking for. The rockets cost around $1,200 each, can only be fired at a limited frequency and their failure rate is about 40 per cent. And even when they do trigger lightning, things still do not always go according to plan. 'Lightning is not perfectly well behaved,' says Bernstein. 'Occasionally, it will take a branch and go someplace it wasn't supposed to go.' And anyway, who would want to fire streams of rockets in a populated area? 'What goes up must come down,' points out Jean-Claude Diels of the University of New Mexico. Diels is leading a project, which is backed by EPRI, to try to use lasers to discharge lightning safely and safety is a basic requirement since no one wants to put themselves or their expensive equipment at risk. With around $500,000 invested so far, a promising system is just emerging from the laboratory. The idea began some 20 years ago, when high-powered lasers were revealing. their ability to extract electrons out of atoms and create ions. If a laser could generate a line of ionization in the air all the way up to a storm cloud, this conducting path could be used to guide lightning to Earth, before the electric field becomes strong enough to break down the air in an uncontrollable surge. To stop the laser itself being struck, it would not be pointed straight at the clouds. Instead it would be directed at a mirror, and from

雅思阅读中常见特殊句式整理和句型特点总结

雅思阅读中常见特殊句式整理和句型特点总结 雅思阅读以说明文为主,多是肯定、客观的表达方式。因此在陈述重点内容时势必会用到特殊的表达方式。下面我们就集中讲解下雅思阅读中会用到哪些特殊句式。 我们都知道,在做雅思阅读时,把握主旨和段落大意是非常重要的,但是想提高我们的英语阅读理解能力及做题正确率,仅仅有这些信息是不足矣的,在雅思阅读的40道题目中,80%的题目都会涉及到文章细节内容,因此,把握文中的重要细节信息就非常重要了。 我们在阅读文章时会发现,作者在点明主旨后会在后面的阐述中进一步细说论据,而这些就是考题中常常涉及的细节内容,这也正是我们考生最头疼的地方,即在这繁杂的信息中,如何准确把握作者想要表达的重点。 1.转折:转折词汇后面的内容往往是作者想要表达的重点。试想,我们在评论了别人的表现时,若说了一个“但是”,那后面的内容是否是最引起听者兴趣的地方?同理,雅思阅读中亦然。常见的转折英语词汇有:but、however、despite、in spite of、although、though、yet(用语句首,表示尽管、虽然之意)、while(有尽管之意,不多见,同学们应注意)等。 2.否定:否定句在雅思阅读的说明文体中并不多见,因此,否定句、双重否定句是阐述重点内容的一个重点句式,如:not…but…;not…without…。 3.因果:因果逻辑是雅思文章中最常见也是最重要的逻辑关系之一。因此,这是把握重要细节内容的重点之一。相关词汇有:because、so、since(表原因)、as(表原因)、lead to、cause、result in、as a result of、as a result、therefore等。 4.强调句式:it is...that/who/why...及What引导的主语从句,如what makes it bad is...,what we need is...这样的句式本身就有强调的含义,因此作者使用这种句式时一定在重点说明某些内容。 5.步骤:步骤的描述很多情况下也是设置考点的地方。在进行步骤描述时常会用到firstly、secondly等序数词(注意:initially是最初的意思,常同first互换);除序数词外,也会用到next、then、finally等词。同时,应注意表示步骤的词汇有process、procedure、stage等词。 6.比较:比较也是重点内容之一,比较无非对比不同与相似,表达不同的词汇有:different、distinction、differ等;表达相似的词汇有:similarity、resemble、similar、resemblance、like(像的意思)等。另外,表达比较时,常会用到:compare、compared with、in comparison、by contrast、on contrary等。 7.绝对性说法:因为雅思阅读的阐述方式是客观,因此一旦出现绝对性的说法,很有可能会是考点。常见的绝对性词汇有:never、only(sole、alone常与这词互换)、must、mustn’t、always等。 8.定义式和结论性表述:所谓定义式表述就是作者在给出定义、阐述常识和某些真理时用到的表达方式;结论性表述是指作者在描述完某些项目或实验研究等后,得出的结论性东西,常用到的词汇有:therefore、conclude、in conclusion、the key for...is...等。

雅思阅读模拟试题及答案解析(4)

Selling Digital Music without Copy-protection Makes Sense A. It was uncharacteristically low-key for the industry’s greatest showman. But the essay published this week by Steve Jobs, the boss of Apple,on his firm’s website under the unassuming title “Thoughts on Music” has nonetheless provoked a vigorous debate about the future of digital music,which Apple dominates with its iPod music-player and iTunes music-store. At issue is “digital rights management” (DRM)—the technology guarding downloaded music against theft. Since there is no common standard for DRM, it also has the side-effect that songs purchased for one type of music-player may not work on another. Apple’s DRM system, called FairPlay, is the most widespread. So it came as a surprise when Mr. Jobs called for DRM for digital music to be abolished. B. This is a change of tack for Apple. It has come under fire from European regulators who claim that its refusal to license FairPlay to other firms has “locked in” customers. Since music from the iTunes store cannot be played on non-iPod music-players (at least not without a lot of fiddling), any iTunes buyer will be deterred from switching to a device made by a rival firm, such as Sony or Microsoft. When French lawmakers drafted a bill last year compelling Apple to open up FairPlay to rivals, the company warned of “state-sponsored piracy”. Only DRM, it implied, could keep the pirates at bay. C. This week Mr. Jobs gave another explanation for his former defence of DRM: the record companies made him do it. They would make their music available to the iTunes store only if Apple agreed to protect it using DRM. They can still withdraw their catalogues if the DRM system is compromised. Apple cannot license FairPlay to others, says Mr Jobs, because it would depend on them to produce security fixes promptly. All DRM does is restrict consumer choice and provide a barrier to entry, says Mr Jobs; without it there would be far more stores and players, and far more innovation. So, he suggests, why not do away with DRM and sell music unprotected?“This is

Within 10 years the number of people aged over 60 will pass one billion, a report by the UN Population Fund said. The demographic shift will present huge challenges to countries' welfare, pension and healthcare systems. The UN agency also said more had to be done to tackle "abuse, neglect and violence against older persons". The number of older people worldwide is growing faster than any other age group. The report, Ageing in the 21st Century: A Celebration and a Challenge, estimates that one in nine people around the world are older than 60. The elderly population is expected to swell by 200 million in the next decade to surpass one billion, and reach two billion by 2050. This rising proportion of older people is a consequence of success - improved nutrition, sanitation, healthcare, education and economic well-being are contributing factors, the report says.
