【参考范文】 As is clearly depicted in the above chart, the urban population increased from 300 million in 1990 to about 460 million in 2000 and then to about 660 million in 2010, while rural population decreased from about 820 million to 800 million and then to about 670 million in the same period. Three reasons, in my belief, can account for this trend. First of all, after the reform and opening-up, the economy took off and thus hundreds of millions of people flooded into cities in search of better jobs and a brighter future. Moreover, in the present stage of development, most leading educational and medical resources can only be found in cities. Last but not the least, the land left for the individuals to farm is quite limited--some people have to leave their hometown to work elsewhere, especially in large cities. From what have been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that this is the natural result of social and economic development. With the deepening of reform and the acceleration of urbanization, this trend will probably continue. 【参考译文】 正如以上图表清晰所示，城市人口从1990年的3亿上升到2000年的大约4.6亿，随后由上升至6.6亿，而农村人口在同期则从8.2亿下降到8亿，再下降到6.7亿。 在我看来，有三个原因可以解释这一趋势。首先，改革开放之后，经济开始腾飞，因此数百万人为寻求更好的工作和更光明的未来而涌入城市。此外，在当前的发展阶段，大部分先进的教育和医疗资源只存在于城市之中。最后，个人的可用耕地是有限的，一些人不得不离开家乡去别的地方工作，尤其是大城市。 根据以上讨论，我们可以有把握得出这样一个结论：这是社会经济发展的自然结果。随着改革的深化和城镇化的加速，这一趋势将有可能持续下去。 【词汇】1）urban城市的 rural农村的 the reform and opening-up改革开放 take off起飞，突然成功 flood涌入 in search of 寻求 leading领先的 acceleration加速 urbanization城市化 【句型提炼】1）As is clearly depicted in the above chart, the urban population increased from 300 million in 1990 to about 460 million in 2000 and then to about 660 million in 2010, while rural population decreased from about 820 million to 800 million and then to about 670 million in the same period.正如以上图表清晰
