流程图：剑六The process diagrams illustrate the life cycle of the silkworm(in5stages)and5key steps how to produce silk cloth.In the first diagram,at first,several eggs are laid on the leaves.After10days,the eggs become silkworm larvas,which feed on the mulberry leaves.4-6weeks later,these larvas produce silk thread to wrap themselves.It will take them3-8days to totally wrap themselves to form the cocoons.Then after16days, the original larvas become moths,which will continue a new life cycle by laying eggs on leaves.In the second diagram,initially,cocoons are selected carefully and then are boiled in hot water for some time. Then the cocoons are unwound to produce thread about300-900meters.In the next stage,the thread is twisted and can be weaved into silk cloth.During this process,the thread or the cloth can be dyed in various colors.The diagrams clearly show the life cycle of the silkworm and how to produce silk cloth in five key stages.剑四Test1P31The table illustrates the proportion from different household types living in poverty in Australia in1999.Overall/In general,11%of all households,which were1,837,000people,lived in poverty at that time.Sole parent accounted for/took up/represented the largest proportion,at21%(which were232,000people).

to15percent and then stayed mostly unchanged from the years1980to2020,at around15percent.It is predicted that the proportion will rise significantly from2020to a peak at approximately24percent in2040.The proportion in Sweden increased from around7percent in1940to 14percent in1980and then level off for some time and increased steadily to20percent in2010.It is forecast that the proportion
