Part III Reading comprehension (20%)
Directions: Read the following two passages carefully and choose the ONE best answer to each
statement or question and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

The United Nations published a report that was called “The State of World Population”.It
shows that the growth rate of world population will actually go down in the next ten years．The
growth rate will fall from the present 1.8％ to a rate of about 1.6％ by the end of this
century．But the report also points out that problems of food，health care，housing，jobs and
schools will get worse unless we do something about the situation.
（实用英语1，60学时） 共10 页 第 7页

Why is this? Although the total growth rate of the world population will decrease，in some
countries there will still be a big rise in the population．More people will be born in the Third
World countries than in the richer Northern countries．So the population will grow faster in poor
countries；and the problems in these countries will be very serious．This is because the family is
more likely to survive if there are a lot of children to work for the members who become old or
who cannot find work．A survey of the UN also shows that the growth rate is low where there is
a higher level of income，better education，more health care and better living conditions．In this
aspect, government plays an important role．So，the conclusion of the UN report is：“Look after
the people and the population will look after itself．”

A．so the population problems will get worse

B．Because the people have the habit to have a big family
C．Because the people there are poorer
D．Because the people there want to be rich

59．What is the reason for the going down of the population in rich countries?
A．The people there have a secure future
B．The people there have a glorious past
C．The government carries out a family plan

probably mean ___________.
A．Watch the people carefully and the population growth rate will drop
B．Control the people firmly and the population growth rate will go up

programs. By the 1950s, country music had become a significant force in pop music. Regular
appearances on the radio show made stars of many performers. The singer-songwriter Hank
Williams wrote four million-seller songs in 1950, seven in 1951, and four more in 1953. By the
