问题 The best title for this passage would be ______ .
In the sentence "However, absolute yearly increments are not expected to start declining until after the year 2000.", "increments" means ______ .

选项 A、decrease
B、slowing
C、acceleration
D、increase

答案D

解析 将选择项一一代入:A.下降;B.缓慢;C.加速;D.增长;上文提到了人口的增长率是1.7 percent  per year,然后下文用了一个“But”转折出本句,所以这里极可能谈到人口由增长变为减少的问题。本句后半段用“not…until”结构引出了“start declining”的问题,所以此处应为D项,即人口增长。
