问题 PASSAGE THREE [br] What does the word "uptick" at the end of the 5th paragraph refer to?

选项

答案 Increasing fertility rates in countries with HDI above 0.9.

解析 由题干定位到第五段。该段解释了发生“人口转变”(即国家越发达生育率越低)的原因。最后一句中的“Conversely”表明此处行文发生转折,转而解释另一现象,即第四段介绍的“J形”分布:一些国家在发展到HDI超过0.9时,生育率不降反升。根据迈斯基拉博士的观点,一些最发达国家实施了有利于妇女的就业政策,使得妇女可以多生孩子而无后顾之忧。因此答案是“Increasing fertility rates in countries with HDI above 0.9.”。
