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 care, housing, jobs and schools will get worse unless we do something about the situation.
Why is this? Although the total growth rate of the world population will decrease(下降), in some countries there will be a big rise in the population. More people will be born in 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(幸存) 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."
选项
A、The total growth rate of world population will increase.
B、The growth rate of population in richer countries will increase.
C、The growth rate of population in poor countries will increase.
D、The total growth rate in American countries will increase.
答案
C
解析
从第二段so the population will grow faster in poor countries可以看出,贫穷落后国家的人口增长会比较快。[A]、[B]两项明显与文中交代事实不符,全球人口及富裕国家人口增长速度是下降的;[D]项没有提到。
