according to official projections.
Britain will 1 its population swell from today's 62.2 million to 77 million, an increase of 24
percent.
This will make it bigger than France, projected to be 70 million and Germany, which is 2 to have
71.5 million citizens.
The forecasts come from the Population Reference Bureau, a US 3 which supplies data 4
governments and institutions around the world.
The predictions 5 that Britain will see its population increase over the next 40 years at a far
faster rate than nearly 6 European country. The extra 15 million equates to the combined
populations of Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool being added to the 7
national population over the next two generations.
Britain's population has started to climb 8 in recent years. Last year the Office for National
Statistics 9 that mothers had more children than at any time since 1973.

The Population Reference Bureau 12 that France's population, 13 , will increase at

People are making more and more demands on the world’s natural resources. If babies born in 1991
live for eighty years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the
present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with 15
billion other people. But hopefully there will be a significant decrease in the growth of population. What if
this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they
could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.
Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may
be causing the global warming and climate change, and eating less meat may go some way to help, but can
anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the“baby class”of 1991?
There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world,
and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national
and local governments, as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as
professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and individual citizens.
21.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.Making More Demands on the Natural Resources.
B.Limiting the Pollution of Air and Water
C.Reducing the World Population

A decreasing birthrate depends to a large extent on the availability and use of birth control and on high
living levels that make the production of additional children to provide necessary and inexpensive labor
unnecessary. Family planning is a national policy in many industrial countries, such as Japan and most of
European countries. As a result, in most cases the birthrate has decreased. Many developing countries have
followed the lead of India (which has since 1952 conducted an extensive, but not totally successful，birth
control program) in trying to promote family planning as a national policy. These countries include China,
Kenya, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Chile.
In the United States, facts of the population question, such as birth control and abortion,_are among
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂the most bitterly debated subjects. The United States has disagreed strongly at times with the use of foreign
aid appropriations (拨款) for family planning overseas and doing that is thought against human rights;
family planning in the country is mainly run by private groups such as Planned Parenthood.
A number of nongovernmental organizations concerned with population growth have also appeared.
Zero Population Growth, an educational group founded in 1970, aims to stop population growth, first in the
United States and then in other countries. On the international level, besides the International Planned
Parenthood Federation, the United Nations Economic and Social Council provides birth control aid to
underdeveloped nations.

A.Food supplies.

D.High growth of population birthrate.
28.In the United States family planning is not made a national policy probably because ________.
