19、,000 B.C., there were probably 10 million people. In A.D. 1, there were 300 million. It took 1750 years for the population to reach 625 million, a little more than double the A.D. 1 figure. In 1990, there were 5.3 billion people. By the year 2000, the worlds population was over 6 billion, and by 205
20、0, it is expected to reach 10 billion. Does the earth have enough natural resources to support this many people? Different scientists give different answers to this question. Some say that there are enough resources to support more than 6 billion people. However, the richest countries, with a small
21、percentage of the worlds population, use most of the resources. If these resources could be distributed more equally around the world, there would be enough for everyone. Other scientists say that we must limit population growth because our resources are limited. Only 10 percent of the earths land c
22、an be used for farming and another 20 percent for raising animals. It is possible to increase the amount of farmland, but only a little. Some land in developing countries could be more productive if people started using modern farming methods, but this would not increase worldwide production by much
23、, We all know that there is a limited amount of petroleum. There are also limits to the amounts of metals. There is a limit to the amount of water we can use since most of the earths water is salt water, and most of the fresh water is frozen at the North and South Poles. It is difficult to say how m
24、any people the earth can support, but it will help everyone if we can limit population growth before serious shortages develop. The problem is how to do it. 1. Between 1990 and 2000, what changes did the world population have? It had increased by almost a billion2. According to some scientists, whic
25、h of the following is true?The worlds resources are adequate but not evently distributed3. Why cant most of the earths water be used?It is mostly salt or frozen at the North and South Poles4. In developing countries, what does the use of medern farming methods result in?5. According to the author, w
26、hat can you infer from the passage?II 1.There were probably 10 million people. 2.It is expected to be 10 billion. 3.If the resources could be distributed more equally around the world, there would be enoueh for everyone. 4.Only 10 percent. 5. It is how to limit population growth.Passage II: Fresh wa
27、ter, life itself, has never come easy in the Middle East. Ever since the Old Testament when God punished man with 40 days and 40 nights of rain, water supplies here have been dwindling. The rainfall only comes in winter and drains quickly through the semiarid land, leaving the soil to bake and to th
28、irst for next November. The regions accelerating population growth, expanding agriculture, industrialization, and higher living standards demand more fresh water. Drought and pollution limit its availability. War and mismanagement squander it. Nations like Israel and Jordan are swiftly sliding into
29、that zone where they are using all the water resources available to them. They have only 15 to 20 years left before their agriculture, and ultimately their food security, is threatened. Even amid the scarcity there are haves and have-nots. Compared with the United States, which has a freshwater pote
30、ntial of 10,000 cubic meters a year for each citizen. Iraq has 5,500. Turkey has 4,000, and Syria has little more than 2,800. Egypts potential is only 1,100. Israel has 460, and Jordan has less than 260. But these are not firm figures, because upstream use of river water can dramatically alter the p
31、otential downstream. Scarcity is only one element of the Middle Easts water crisis. Inefficiency is another, as is the reluctance of some water-poor nations to change priorities from agriculture to less water-intensive enterprises. Some experts suggest that if these nations would share both water technology and resources, they could sa
