Australia’s population passed 18 million for the first time in March this year.
But as Australia grows, environment groups yesterday urged the government to develop a national population policy to avoid severe environmental degradation(恶化).
Australian Bureau of Statistics(ABS)research shows the birth or arrival of 68, 700 new Australians in the year to March pushed the population to 18, 000, 500.
Victoria’ s population increased by 23, 000 to 4. 5 million in the year to March. The ABS also forecast the population would reach 20 million by 2006 and 24 million by 2033.
Australia reached its first million in 1858.
While immigration was responsible for a large part of the population booms in the past, over the last five years new born made up 68 percent of the 1 million increase in population.
Australia has one of the lower population growth rates in the region, with New Zealand growing at 1.4 percent. Indonesia at 1. 7 percent and PNG at 2 percent, ABS spokesman Mr. John Paice said.
Australians for an Ecologically Sustainable Population: a group of 560 academics, scientists and public, yesterday urged the government to develop a sustainable population strategy to avoid further land and water degradation.
National ALP president Barry Jones last year chaired a parliamentary inquiry into what population levels Australia could reach without risking serious pollution and degradation problems.
Many of the opinions to the inquiry suggested a population limit of 17-23 million. The government was expected to respond to the Jones report by July, but did not.
CSIRO research scientist Dr. Doug Cocks agreed the government needed to develop a population policy.
"With population size(inAustralia)doubling every 40 to 50 years, we would need another couple of Melbournes and Sydneys by 2050, "Dr. Cocks said.

From the passage we may infer that______.
选项
A、Victoria’ s population growth rate was higher than the average rate
B、In the year to March, the new arrivals were more than new borns in Victoria
C、Five years ago, new borns were more than new arrivals in Victoria
D、Victoria’ s population always grew faster than that of any other state.
答案
A
解析
本题是推理题。从第3、4段可知,澳大利亚全年增长了6.87万人,而仅Victoria的年增长量就达2.3万人,占全国人口增长量的近一半,所以得出选项A“此地区人口增长率高于平均增长率”的结论。
