That may not sound much, but about 14,000 people are born per hour.Most of these new babies are born in the developing countries. These countries are found in Africa, South America and parts of Asia.In the developed countries of Europe and North America, the population is growing slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average (平均), only one or two children.In the developing countries, more than one billion people live below the poverty line. These people don’t have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing. Children get little or no time at school and suffer from many kinds of diseases.The UN has said that the world’s population will reach 12.5 billion by the year 2100. If the number makes your head spinning (晕眩), you’re not alone. Many experts are worrying about that so fast population growth could have very bad results. It could hurt the environment and increase the number of poor people.31．How many people are born every hour?A．10.B．14,000.C．365,000.D．14,000,000. 32．Most developing countries are in _________.A．Africa B．South America C．parts of Asia D．All of above 33．Laura is a working woman from America.

The decision came five and a half years after the country allowed all couples to have two children.The decision was made at a meeting of the Communist Party of China(中国共产党). The move quickly followed the release of China’s seventh census(人口普查) findings, which showed that the country’s population was growing at its slowest rate since the 1950s. According to the National Bureau of Statistics(统计局), the number of babies born in China fell by 2.65 million to 12 million in 2020.China is hoping that the policy change will help solve the problem of its falling birth rate and ageing population. Xinhua News Agency said the change would help to improve the structure of the country’s population.The new policy will come with several supportive measures. Among these measures, China lower educational costs for families, step up tax and housing support and make sure to secure the rights and interests(利益) of working women. It would also look to educate young people “on marriage and love”.As shown in China’s 14th Five-year Plan, China has come to a time when its ageing problem must be taken seriously at the national level. It is hoped by the government that this change in birth policy will be part of the solution.36．Why does China allow couples to have three children now?A．Because of its falling birth rate and ageing population.B．Because of good supportive measures.C．Because of its good environment.D．Because of its rapidly growing economy.37．How many babies were born in China in 2020?A．2.65 million.B．9.35 million.C．12 million.D．14.65 million. 38．The underlined word “secure” in this passage means ________.A．compare B．hide C．protect D．harm39．Which supportive measure for Three-child Policy is mentioned in the passage? A．Lowering the costs of education.B．Giving three-child couples free food. C．Offering good jobs to three-child couples.D．Educating young people on “friendship”. 40．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The seventh census findings are very important for the Three-child Policy.B．China’s population has been growing very slowly since the 1950s.C．It is important and necessary to carry out the Three-child Policy.D．Carrying out the Three-child Policy needs some supportive measures.四、语法填空I works in a city school now.

At that time, people will pick up a program from a "menu" and a computer will send the program to the TV set at once. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.Water will become one of our most serious problems then. In many places, farmers are in great need of water to grow fruit and vegetables.About transportation, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast.

It's a matter of the perspective (视角). In Montana, you might drive a mile in any direction and might not see another human being. In Macao, 60,000 people live in every square mile!What is true is that the world's population doesn't stay the same. It has been increasing fast. That's in part because in each generation (代)there are more people who then have children than the last generation. Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900, the world's population was under 2 billion (十亿). Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth continues, when you are a parent, there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Soon the world's population will probably reach 8 billion. Some people worry about that! But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth means too many people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources (资源) the world needs to offer and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the earth's resources.1.From the first paragraph we can know that ______.A. Montana is too crowdedB. Macao is too crowdedC. the world is too crowdedD. the world is not too crowded2.The population is increasing fast partly because ______.A. people live longer than beforeB. there are fewer wars than beforeC. medicine is developing faster than beforeD. more couples now would like to have children than before3.What was the world's population in 1900?A.450 million.B. Less than 2 billion.C.40 billion.D.7 billion.4.The writer thinks that with the population increasing, we should ______.A. find more resourcesB. use more resourcesC. think about our ways of livingD. move to other places5.From the passage we can learn that the writer ______.A. thinks the world already has too many peopleB. thinks the world can feed no more than 8 billion peopleC. is not sure when the world's population will reach 8 billionD. is not sure what the world needs to feed so many people六、句型转换1.You shouldn't stay in bed all day.(改为祈使句)_____ _____ in bed all day.2.The writer wrote this story because it's true.
