71.【答案】lower
【解析】根据"decliningbirthratecouldbeadefiningoneofthe21st"可知,21世纪的出生率比20世纪低,且much/even/far/alot/alittle等修饰比较级,故填lower。
72.【答案】size/scale
【解析】根据第二段中的"almostalldevelopednationsareexperiencingsub-replacementbirthrate"可知,发达国家人口出生率正在下降,即人口难以维持现有的规模,"maintain"一词是做题的依据,故填size/scale。
74.【答案】economic

78.【答案】equality
【解析】根据倒数第二段中的"butinthesouth,wheremosteconomicdevelopmentistakingplace,birthrateisfallingrapidly"可知,教育可以降低出生率,因此,可以通过普及教育来抑制人口增长。

【解析】根据最后一段中的"Onesolutionisobviouslytoimportforeignworkersviaimmigration."可知,通过移民来引入外来工人是解决劳动力短缺的一种方法。
80.【答案】compensate
