①The graph compares the use of electricity in England during a day in winter with that in summer. ②It can be seen that the demand for electricity in a cold day varies between 30,000 units and approximately 45,000 units, about twice as much as that in a hot day. ③The trough appears at 9 a.m. while 2 p.m. and the midnight turn out to be the peak time in both of the two seasons. ④However, there is one more peak in winter, which is at 3 a.m., when the electricity use reaches 40,000.
⑤The pie chart provides information on how the electricity is used at home. ⑥As is shown in the chart, it is mostly used for heating rooms and heating water (52.5%), and that explains why it is more desired in winter. ⑦The proportions of electricity used for the other three purposes are almost even, 17.5% for ovens, kettles and washing machines, and 15% each for electric tools including vacuum cleaners and food mixers, and lighting, TV and radio.

①The graph gives information about the number of visitors to and from the UK during the period 1979 to 1999. ②It can be seen that UK residents who travelled abroad were more than visitors to that country throughout the given years, and the gap between them increased with time.
③Approximately 14 million UK residents travelled abroad in 1979, and this number doubled nine years later. ④After that, the growth accelerated, with the number soaring to slightly over 50 million in 1999. ⑤In contrast, the visitors to the UK had shown only a marginal rise by 1986, from 10 million to 11 million. ⑥Although the increase escalated since then, they were still about 25 million fewer than UK residents that travelled abroad in 1999.
⑦The bar chart illustrates the countries which UK residents travelled to in 1999. ⑧Among the five given countries, France was the most popular one, bearing about 11 million UK visitors in that year, followed by Spain (9 million). ⑨Turkey, Greece and the USA presented similar numbers, approximately 2 million, 3 million and 4 million, respectively.

①The graph shows the amount of water used for three different purposes, namely agriculture, industrial and domestic use worldwide during the period 1900 to 2000. ②It can be seen that agriculture had been the largest sector in terms of water use throughout the given period.
③About 500 km 3 of water was used for agriculture in 1900, while the use in the other two sectors was minimal. ④Then there was a marginal rise in all the three sectors during the first half century and a surge during the other half, rising to 3,000 km 3 in agriculture, 1,000 km 3 in industry and 300 km 3 for domestic use.
⑤The table indicates the water consumption in two countries in 2000. ⑥Brazil is the one with a larger population, 176 million compared with 5.2 million in the Democractic Republic of Congo, and more irrigated land (26,500 km 2 compared with 100 km 2 in Congo). ⑦Also, the water consumption per person there was much higher (359 km 3 compared with 8 km 3 in Congo).
⑧Overall, water is mostly used for agriculture during the last century, and the country with more irrigated land showed higher water consumption in 2000.

①The pie chart indicates the contributors to worldwide land degradation, and the table presents the proportion of land degraded by different factors in North America, Europe and Oceania.
②It can be seen from the pie chart that over-grazing, deforestation and over-cultivation were the leading reasons for land damage, contributing to respectively 35%, 30% and 28% of the total, while the other 7% was caused by reasons other than them.
③According to the table, Europe experienced more serious land damage than the other two given regions. ④Totally 23% of land was damaged there, which was mostly caused by deforestation (9.8%). ⑤In contrast, this factor was insignificant in North America (0.2%) and Oceania (1.7%). ⑥Over-cultivation led to 7.7% of land damage in Europe and 3.3% in North America, whereas no land was damaged by it in Oceania. ⑦Over-grazing was the dominating reason in this region, leading to 11.3% of land degradation there, doubling what it did in Europe (5.5%).
⑧Overall, the total proportion of the degraded land in Europe (23%) doubled that in Oceania (13%) and was five times as much as that in North America (5%).

①The table provided compares the number of visitors to Ashdown Museum in both the years before and after the refurbishment, and its accompanying pies illustrate the results regarding the satisfaction level of visitors after visiting during the same two periods.
②It is clear from the table that the figure for museum visitors increased substantially from 74,000 to 92,000 after the redecoration, while the dissatisfactory impression towards the museum after visiting alleviated to a large extent due to the restoration.
③Prior to the refurbishment, “dissatisfied”turned out to be the most likely option for visitors’feedback accounting for 40% while 10% less people tended to be satisfied with it. ④Surprisingly, there were only 15% of people who chose to vote “very satisfied”, closely followed by 10% of “very dissatisfied”visitors, and 5% of visitors did not respond to the survey for some reason.
⑤However, the survey outcome changed dramatically after the museum was being redecorated with more satisfaction response in general. ⑥The proportion of “very satisfied”and “satisfied”rose to 35% (an over two times rise) and 40% respectively. ⑦By contrast, the dissatisfaction situation lessened with 15% of “dissatisfied”and 5% of “very dissatisfied”, and the “No response”figure remained unchanged.
⑧Overall, it is worth noting that the number of visitors and the satisfaction level all increased after the refurbishment of the museum.

①The line graph gives an overview of how temperatures in London, New York and Sydney vary throughout a year. ②From it, we can see that Sydney is constantly the hottest in the first and the last quarter with more or less than 25 degrees while it turns out to be the coldest from May to early September, during which time period New York is the warmest, closely followed by London. ③Noticeably, however the temperatures change, those in December show great resemblance to the beginning.
④As to the city of London, after a moderate increase of about 15 degrees to its highest at slightly under 25 degrees in July, the next five months see a rapid decline to 10 degrees. ⑤Similarly, increasing sharply to reach 30 degrees in July, the temperature of New York City has a considerable drop to 5 degrees by the end of the year. ⑥The temperature in Sydney shows an opposite case. ⑦It changes little from January to March, from which month onwards, it falls greatly to its lowest at a little over 15 degrees in mid-June. ⑧However, it recovers gradually in December, hitting 25 degrees again.
⑨The table shows how long the sun shines annually on average in the three cities. ⑩The total hours of yearly sunshine in New York are quite close to those in Sydney, both of which reach 2,500 hours or so. ⑪Comparatively, London gets the shortest time period of sunshine, below a half of two of its counterparts.
