　　中国是世界上最大的发展中国家，人口约占世界总人口的22%。

在过去相当长的时期里，由于诸多原因，贫困一直困扰着中国。

20世纪80年代中期，中国农村绝大多数地区凭借自身的发展优势，经济得到快速增长，但少数地区由于经济、社会、历史、自然等方面的制约，发展相对滞后。

中国政府在致力于经济和社会全面发展的进程中，在全国范围内实施了以解决贫困人口温饱问题为主要目标的有计划、有组织的大规模扶贫开发，极大地缓解了贫困现象。

　　SectionD

　　46.[F]。

题干意为，夏令时带来的能源收益可能会因为不同的气候而有差异。

注意抓住题干中的关键词daylightsavings"energygains,various和differentclimates。

文章段落中，提到能源节约量与天气有关的内容在[F]段出现，该段前两句提到，一些地区的节能量明显比其他地区要大。

例如，加利福尼亚州似乎是从夏令时中获益最大的——可能是因为那里的气候相对溫和，鼓励人们在户外待到更晚。

由此可知，题干对原文进行了概括和同义改写，故答案为[F]。

　　47.[K]。

题干意为，睡眠障碍和生物节律紊乱可能是春季时间变化后心脏病发病率上升的最佳解释。

注意抓住题干中的关键词disturbedsleepanddisruptionofbiologicalrhythms,explanation和higherheartattackrisks。

文章段落中，提及睡眠障碍和生物节律紊乱以及心脏病发病率上升的内容在[K]段出现，该段第二句提到，2008年的一项研究总结道，至少在瑞典，在春季时间变化后不久，心脏病发病率就上升了……接着第三句引用了一位专家的话：

“根据我们的调查结果，最合理的解释是睡眠障碍及生物节奏紊乱。

”由此可知，题干是对原文的同义改写，故答案为[K]。

　　48.[D]。

题干意为，一项研究表明，尽管实行夏令时能减少夜间照明及电量消耗，但却因为增加了晨间的用电量而可能无法节约能源。

注意抓住题干中的关键
