Unit 1The population of China is about 1.37 billion.●1noise n. 噪声；杂音[观察] That causes a lot of problems, such as too much traffic and noise.那造成了许多问题，比如太多的车辆和噪声。

[探究] noise通常指噪声，既可作可数名词，也可作不可数名词，常构成短语make too much noise，意为“制造太多噪声”。

其形容词noisy常用作定语或表语，它是由名词noise加上后缀-y构成的形容词，类似的词还有rainy(下雨的), sunny(阳光灿烂的)等。

[拓展] noisily adv. 吵闹地●2prepare v. 准备；预备[观察] I'm preparing some notes for a report called “Our growing population”．我正在为一篇叫“我们正在增长的人口”的报告准备素材。

[探究] prepare 的用法如下：(1)prepare ＋名词或代词He has prepared his lessons. 他已备好课了。

(2)prepare ＋双宾语(间接宾语和直接宾语)My mother is preparing us a meal.＝My mother is preparing a meal for us.我的妈妈正在为我们做饭。

(3)prepare ＋动词不定式短语They are busy preparing to go on vacation.他们正忙着准备去度假。

(4)prepare for ＋名词短语，意为“为……做准备”，相当于get ready for。

数学、物理等学科计算题，一般只用problem。

problem常与solve或work out等连用。

(2)question指主观上对某事产生怀疑，提出等待回答的具体问题，着重指疑惑和不能断定的问题，有时它也可指要讨论的问题。

question常与ask或answer等连用。

那造成了许多问题，比如太多的车辆和噪声。

[探究] (1)句中的with表示“带有，具有”。

介词短语“with a large population”作后置定语，修饰“a huge city”。

She is a girl with golden hair.她是一个金发女郎。

(2)too much和too many 都表示“太多”，但too many后接可数名词的复数形式；而too much 后接不可数名词。

●2Hang on a minute! I'll write that down too! 稍等一会儿！我要把这点也记下来！[探究] “hang on”是口语，意为“等等”。

已学过的类似的表达还有wait a minute/moment，意为“等会儿”。

[拓展] hang on还是电话用语，意为“别挂电话”，与hold the line和hold on同义。

Hang on. He is coming.别挂电话。

Most of the growth is happening in Africa and parts of South and West Asia that are least able to afford more people. However, population increases have slowed or even stopped in Europe, North America and Japan.Today about 80 percent of the world's people live in developing countries. Asia has more than doubled its population since 1960, but Europe's has risen by only 20 percent. The United States is the only Western country whose population is expected to increase－largely not because of births, but of immigration(外来移民)．Now some six billion mouths must be fed and bodies clothed and housed. Misuse(滥用) of the earth's resources to meet those needs, for example, poor farming practices and over-fishing is a possible danger to human life and health around the world. People across the world are trying to find ways to solve the problems brought by increasing population.()1.
