It is happening in both developing countries (such as China and India) and developed countries (such as America and England). Some families don’t want to have more babies because they believe that it’s difficult for them to raise two or more children.China is such a country that it has already cut its rate of population growth since 1970. Most Chinese families have no more than one child. And it reached a zero population growth rate in 2010. But in 2021, the Chinese government passed laws to encourage (鼓励) families to have three babies, because there are too many old people now. Some factories can’t find enough people to work. That’s terrible.Several countries in Europe already have a negative growth rate. Experts say that these countries could face a serious shortage (短缺) of workers in the future. And those who are working could face higher taxes (税) to help support the growing number of retirees (退休人员).51．The world population will reach ________ in 2025.A．13.7 billion B．13.4 billion C．8.4 billion D．7 billion52．What can we know from paragraphs 1-2 A．The world population has increased fast.B．The world’s birth rate has a rapid drop.C．The world population growth can’t be controlled (控制).D．Most people want to have more babies.53．When did China reach a zero-population growth rate A．In 1970.

It took 12 years for the world’s population to grow from 7 billion to 2022’s 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9 billion. That’s because fewer babies are born now. In 50 years, this can slow the growth of the world’s population. The day on which the world’s population grows by one billion is important. The United Nations chooses a baby born on that day as the symbolic (象征的) baby. For example, the world’s population reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022. Vinice Mabansag was born on that day and she became the symbolic 8 billionth baby. More boys than girls are born around the world. There are 106 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls.

It could reach 8.4 billion in the year 2025. But during the past 10 years or so, there has been a large and rapid (快速的) drop in the world’s birth rate.Families are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing countries (such as China and India) and developed countries (such as America and England). Some families don’t want to have more babies because they believe that it’s difficult for them to raise two or more children.China is such a country that it has already cut its rate of population growth since 1970. Most Chinese families have no more than one child. And it reached a zero population growth rate in 2010. But in 2021, the Chinese government passed laws to encourage (鼓励) families to have three babies, because there are too many old people now. Some factories can’t find enough people to work. That’s terrible.Several countries in Europe already have a negative growth rate. Experts say that these countries could face a serious shortage (短缺) of workers in the future. And those who are working could face higher taxes (税) to help support the growing number of retirees (退休人员).51．The world population will reach ________ in 2025.A．13.7 billion B．13.4 billion C．8.4 billion D．7 billion52．What can we know from paragraphs 1-2 A．The world population has increased fast.B．The world’s birth rate has a rapid drop.C．The world population growth can’t be controlled (控制).D．Most people want to have more babies.53．When did China reach a zero-population growth rate A．In 1970.

It took 12 years for the world’s population to grow from 7 billion to 2022’s 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9 billion. That’s because fewer babies are born now. In 50 years, this can slow the growth of the world’s population. The day on which the world’s population grows by one billion is important. The United Nations chooses a baby born on that day as the symbolic (象征的) baby. For example, the world’s population reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022. Vinice Mabansag was born on that day and she became the symbolic 8 billionth baby. More boys than girls are born around the world. There are 106 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls. There are 1.8 billion people between the ages of 10 and 24. That’s the largest number ever (有史以来).56．What was the population of the world in 2022 A．About 7 billion. B．About 8 billion.
