18、 Our planet is home to about seven billion people. Since the 1990s, population experts have predicted the number would grow to nine billion before it begins to slow down and possibly decrease. But a new report predicts the worlds population is likely to increase to almost 11 billion by 2100. Based o
19、n the most modern statistical tools, the new report makes use of government records and considers expert predictions, including death rates, birthrates and international migration, or people moving across borders. The report says during the rest of this century, Africa s population will grow from ab
20、out 3.5 billion to 5.1 billion over the next 82 years. John is director of the United Nations Population Division. He says that in the past，researchers thought population growth in Africa would be similar to that of other areas. They expected slower growth rates as birth control use became more wide
21、spread. But he says those ideas were wrong. “The level ofcontraception usehas continued to increase but slowly- more slowly than expected, and birthrate therefore has been falling less rapidly than expected, and the population therefore continues to grow somewhat more rapidly than we expected.” The
22、new findings are based on a joint research project of the United Nations and the University of Washington. The researchers believe the population of Asia will reach five billion by 2050. That is up from the current 4.4 billion. And then begin to decline. The researchers also believe that North Ameri
23、ca, Europe，Latin America and the Caribbean area will have a total population of below one billion. John says the pressure of feeding the rising population is likely to be less than that might be expected. “The relatively good news is that the world has been winning the race between population growth
24、 and food production. If you look back historically over the last 50 years，certainly for the world as a whole and for many, most individual countries and regions, the increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population.” 28. Which area will experience the largest increase in populati
25、on at the end of the century? 4 A. Asia. B. Africa. C. Europe. D. North America 29. “Contraception use” in the fourth paragraph refers to “_”.

26、 production 30. Why is the pressure of feeding the rising population less than expected according to John? A. Expert predictions are not exactly like what the facts happen. B. Birthrates have always been falling less rapidly than we expected. C. The population grows less rapidly than population expe
27、rts expected. D. The increase in food production is faster than that of population. 31. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The worlds population will increase constantly. B. The population of Asia will rise by 5 billion by 2050. C. John is optimistic about feeding the rising population. D. Po
28、pulation growth in Africa was much slower than expected. D We all have our own tricks to cheer up when were feeling down; these little tricks can make you feel a little bit happier every day.

29、her years ago or your teddy bear from childhood, new research finds that we typically feel calmer and experience a greater sense of well-being when we focus on a place that reminds us of happier times rather than a thing, even if it holds great value. The report, called Places That Make Us, was cond
30、ucted by National Trusts and Surrey Universitys researchers. Experts performed functional magnetic resonance imaging （MRI）（磁共振成像）scans on 20 volunteers and conducted an online survey of 2,000 people to better understand this deep draw toward special places. “Working with leading researchers and acad
31、emics, and using cutting-edge MRI brain technology, we examined how places affect people, how they become special, and why we feel a pull towards them,” explained Nino Strachey, head for the National Trust. The 20 volunteers were shown images of landscapes, houses, and other locations, 5 as well as
32、personally meaningful objects. Measuring their brain activity, the researchers found that it was the places, rather than the objects, that caused the brain to get the most excited. Volunteers were also interviewed at great length two times, once at home and the other time at their special place. The
33、 research made discoveries that had never known before the favorite places awoke feelings of belonging, physical and emotional safety, and an intense internal pull to the place. Dr. Andy Myers weighed in on the research, saying, “ For the first time we have been able to prove the physical and emotio
34、nal benefits of places, far beyond any research that has been done before.“ 32. How was the research conducted? A. By performing MRI on 2,000 volunteers. B.
