How does the rising population negatively influence some countries?
The need for birth control methods has developed fairly recently, with the desire among many women to be able to decide when they want to have a baby. At the same time, there is a growing awareness of the problem of a rapidly increasing world population.
This problem of a rising world population is largely the result of improved medical skills, which have lowered the death rate and the same time raised the birth rate by increasing live births and the number of babies who survive early childhood. There is a growing realization that food production can not keep pace with these increases, the result of which is that in some countries people are already starving to death while many millions more suffer from malnutrition. This problem is further complicated by the fact that places like America and Europe obtain by trade and consume far more food and resources like oil than, say, the average Indian. thus leaving even less for the people in the underdeveloped area to survive on.
World population is rising at a rate of 2% a year; this means and addition of 70 million people a year to the present population of more than 3 500 million. There are striking regional differences in the population growth trends. The fastest growing region is Latin America which includes South and Central America and the Caribbean. While Africa and Asia closely follow Latin America However the largest absolute addition to the world population is in Asia which at present contains about three-fifths of the people of the world.
选项
A、Latin America.
B、North America.
C、South America.
D、Central America.
答案
A
解析
独白第三段第三句明确指出:The fastest growing region is Latin America,即人口增长最快的地区是拉美地区,故答案是[A]。

relax本题有一定的难度。在第五个话轮中,女士指出自己周末也工作,然后在第六个话轮中男士问她是不是(周末)从不休息,从女士的回答及后面的话轮可知她正是这样。男士的noteverrelax即是neverrelax,因此本题应填入relax。
1/One与上面两题一样,本题答案在第三个话轮中男士第三句话的最后部分:...oneadditionalreport。这种信息和答案集中在一句话的情况在实考中较为少见,但对考生听音辨音、瞬间记忆的能力要求相当高,可以很好地锻炼考生的听力理解能力。
Jewish从给出的信息(GermanyofJewishnationality)可以判断答案是Jewish,此外,文中说1938年他到了美国,所以可以猜测他不是美国人,这个信息可以辅助我们确定正确答案。注意民族、国籍等需要用形容词形式。
