四川绵阳市2017高考英语阅读理解一轮训编题（二）及参考答案 阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。 (2014·鹰潭市高三第二次模拟考试) There are many older p eople in the world and there will be many more.A lime known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries.According to the World Health Organization，by 2020 there will be 1 billion，with over 700 million living in developing countries.
