Britain will be the biggest country in Europe by 2050, overtaking both France and Germany,
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.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂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.
Immigrant mothers 10 more than half of the increase in births, but the fertility rate among
11 women also rose sharply.
The Population Reference Bureau 12 that France's population, 13 , will increase at
half the rate, 14 7 million to its 63 million. 15 Germany will actually see its population
16 sharply from 81.6 million to 71.5 million because of a lack of immigration, and a 17 lower
birth rate than 18 in Britain. It already has the second oldest population in the world after Japan,
19 one in five of all Germans over the age of 65.
Europe, 20 , will see its population dip from 739 million to 720 million, because of its low
birth rate.

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?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂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
D.Saving the Babies of 1991
22.What is meant by“the problems of the ‘baby class’of 1991”?
A.A large number of babies will be born after 1991.
B.Babies born in 1991 won’t live a long life.
C.The children of 1991 are not given good education.
D.The problems caused by babies born in 1991.
23.This short passage is probably taken from
A.a news report
B.a science fiction
C.an article by a medical worker
D.a government report
24.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the last paragraph as people responsible for the present
state of the world?
A.Officials. B.Industrialists.
C.Businessmen. D.Scientists.

【解析】
本文是新闻报道。文章主要报道了人口增加所带来的危机以及人们应该采取的措施。
21.
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But hopefully there will be a significant decrease in the growth of
population.” 但希望人口增长能显著下降。结合全文内容，第一段引出了关于世界人口问题的主题，
后文第二段和第三段指出人们应该采取措施应对人口增加带来的问题，所以这篇文章最好的题目是
“减少世界人口”，故选C项。
22.
推理判断题。根据第一段“ 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.”（如果1991年出生的婴儿能活
80年，那么到2070年，世界人口可能会是目前人口总数的两倍到三倍。换句话说，他们将不得不
与其他150亿人分享地球上剩下的资源）可知 “the problems of the ‘baby class’of 1991”指的是1991
年出生的婴儿所造成的问题。故选D项。
23.
推理判断题。第一段引出了关于世界人口问题的主题，后文第二段和第三段指出人们应该采取措施
应对人口增加带来的问题。全文以客观的口吻报道这一事件，所以这篇文章最可能来自一个新闻报
道。故选A项。
24.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂细节理解题。文章最后一段提到“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.” 决策者必须是国家和
地方政府的成员，工业界的领导人和决策者；科学家和技术人员；专业工程师和设计师；宗教领袖
和公民个人。此处提到了官员，工业家和科学家，C项“商人”没有提到，故选C项。

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
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.
25.All the following countries try to take family planning as a national policy EXCEPT ________.
A.Kenya B.Pakistan
C.Chile D.Russia
26.In many industrial countries the birthrate decreases because ________.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A.they take measures in family planning
B.they don't want to provide necessary and cheap labor
C.they want to live a life of high living standards
D.they don't want to bear more additional children
27.What does the underlined word “abortion” probably mean in the second paragraph?
A.Food supplies.
B.An operation to end a pregnancy.
C.Foreign aid.
D.High growth of population birthrate.
28.In the United States family planning is not made a national policy probably because ________.
A.Americans think there is no need to keep birth control
B.the government would rather not copy ways of other countries
C.Americans think that is against human rights
D.the government is rich enough to keep more children
29.Zero Population Growth was set up in order to ________.
A.prevent birthrate from growing
B.provide birth control aid
C.advise people to notice the population question
D.call on the UN to give help to undeveloped countries
【答案】
25.D

27.B
28.C
29.A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界各地对人口出生的控制。
25.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“in trying to promote family planning as a national policy.These
countries include China, Kenya，Pakistan，Turkey，Egypt，and Chile”可知，只有Russia没有被提及。
故选D。
26.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Family planning is... the birthrate has decreased”可知，在很多工业
国家，由于采取了计划生育政策，大部分情况下生育率都降低了。故选A。
27.词义猜测题。划线词与 birth control 是并列关系，根据划线词前的“facts of the population
question，such as birth control”可知，这里提到的是人口问题。再结合该词后的“the most bitterly”可
知，故只有B项“人流”符合题意。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“such as birth control and abortion，are among the most bitterly
debated subjects...doing that is thought against human rights”可以看出，计划生育没有成为美国的一项
全国性的政策是因为美国人认为那样做违背人权，故选C。
29.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“aims to stop population growth”可知，人口零增长的建立是为了
阻止人口的增长，故选A。
