本文是议论文，结构很清晰，即提出问题，分析问题，然后解决问题。问题包括几个方面，根据严重性依次介绍。解决方法可以按照重要性的顺序进行陈述。分析问题时，要注意客观和全面，切忌主观和片面。

[写作思路]

第一段：指出人口老龄化的严重性，可引用数据，给人印象更加深刻可信。

第二段：指出人口老龄化带来的问题，按严重性逐一介绍。

第三段：提出解决方案。

3.AThank-youLetterJune19th[l]DearSirorMadam[2]OnbehalfoftheStudentUnionofouruniversityIsincerelythankXcompanyAThank-youLetterJune,19th[l]DearSirorMadam,[2]OnbehalfoftheStudentUnionofouruniversity,IsincerelythankXcompany解析：这篇作文属于应用文写作。在写信的时候，首先必须把自己置于相关的情境中：明白写信人(“我”)是谁，收信人(“你”)是谁，二者关系如何，写这封信的目的是什么。在此基础上，再根据outline的要求考虑如何把相关信息融入信中。这样的信，才能得体。

以本作文为例，我们可以判断：①写信人是代表学生会动笔的，不应看做私人信件。这种信可以用DearSirorMadam作抬头，也可以直接称呼对方DearMr.Smith之类(当然可以假定写信人是认识对方X公司的经理或老总的了)。落款则应写自己的名字。②写信的目的有两个，首先是感谢对方的赞助(送礼也是表示谢意的方式)，其次是表达良好的祝愿。要辨明重点，应该以表示谢意为主，祝愿的内容只需最后简短表示即可。③学生会这样的学生团体如果要给赞助过自己的企业表示感谢，应该会送什么礼物呢?outline没有明确说明，需考生没身处地杜撰一个——这是本作文题的难点!绝不能太贵；一定要有纪念意义；该礼品注重精神价值而非物质价值；该礼品应该可以为公司收藏，可以放入公司“陈列室”里。从这些要求出发设想一个礼品出来吧!范文用记录足球赛颁奖典礼的DVD作礼品，就很好，很得体。(此外还可以考虑送什么礼物呢?书画作品、相册、都可以吧!)

Analysis

[1]这是公函的格式。

[2]把outline的第1点开门见山说出来。应用文忌套话空话，直接点题是最好的办法。注意“代表……表示感谢”的说法。

[3]写信时的必背句型。无论求职求学还是别的场合，都有可能需要随信附送别的文件/物件之类，就要用到attached/enclosedpleasefind…。

[4]说明送礼意图。remembrance，用得好。此处也可以用gift等。

[5]对礼物的含义加以说明是必要的。下面的几句话都是说明该礼物与公司赞助的活动之间的关系的。

[6]再次表示感谢。

[7]紧扣outline的第3点。表示祝愿。注意文中“感谢”的表达方法：thank,gratitude，appreciate。词语富于变化才能显得有文采。

[思路]第一段说明学生的运动目的各有不同；

第二段详细陈述两种不同的观点；

第三段提出自己的观点：运动既要有兴趣还要兼顾健康。

11.B解析：由题干关键词award定位到第一个小标题GeneralIntroduction下第二段第一句。Anawardofpatent，trademarkorcopyrightprotectionrequiresadelicatebalancebetweentheinterestsoftheinventororauthorandtheinterestofsocietyasawhole．(对专利、商标、版权保护的奖励需要巧妙地平衡发明者或作者的利益与整个社会的利益。)因此题干中thatoftheotherindividuals的表述错误。

12.theirPhysicalproblemstheirPhysicalproblems解析：由题干关键词complaintsfromsomechildrenwhohavedifficultiesinlearning定位到第四个小标题下第一段第一句。一些学习有困难的学生对于学校的抱怨源于他们身体的问题，也就是说他们的抱怨是由身体问题引起的。
