【解析】文章讲述的是人口迅速增长带来的一系列问题，号召我们一定要尽快采取行动。
1.study 意为“研究”，根据下文，这是指对未来20年地球上的情况变化所作的研究。
2.与后面的人口增长，环境污染等联系起来看，在2010年地球上的状况(picture)将会令人不愉快(unpleasant)。
3.因为人口继续增长，所以世界会越来越拥挤(crowded)。
4.指人口数目的多用large，不用small。指人口达到某一数目用“as large as + 数词”。
5.从现状来看，人口增长快的国家多为发展但不发达的国家；而城市人口急剧增长的则是一些发展中的国家(developing countries)。
6.前面提到了两个城市，故此空只能填each。neither具有否定意义，不合句意，不能插入谓语之中。
7.相临几句是讲粮食增长问题，故选increase“增长”。
8.前后两句具有转折意义：农民所生产的粮食将比1985多90%，但多数增产粮食的国家是已经有足够粮食供人们生活的国家。
9.already 意为“已经”，由下句可知：是指已经有足够粮食供人们生活的国家。
10.expect意为“预计”，句意为：在亚洲南部的国家预计增产幅度不大。
11.由changing farms into deserts可知：不当农业生产方式毁坏(destroy)了大片生产粮食的土地。
12.由于扩建城市，修建房屋，必然侵占大量农田，故选lost(失去)。
13.由burn coal and oil必然排放大量烟雾，可推知：此处指空气污染(air pollution)
14.由more and more trees are cut down可推知：此处指森林(forests)可能消失。
15.此句意为：专家说地球到2010年的状况可能会不好。
16.exist 意为“存在”。由上下文可知：环境正遭受污染和破坏，专家们只是想保存今天的状况。
17.settle the problems 意为“解决问题”。
18.still 意为“还有”，加强语气。句意为：现在还有时间给世界各国制定行动计划。
19.work out a plan 意为“制定计划”。
20.句意为：专家们警告说等待太长的时间作出决定将会极大地减少成功的机会来源：

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
Health researchers have noticed that some groups of people are more consistently healthy than others, and wondered… Is it race? Income? Where you live? In the United States, these disagreements in health outcomes have been the focus of intense research for the past several decades.
Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than others. She says one important factor in people’s health is the amount of education they have.
In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United states census. These counts of people occur every 10 years. Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades.
“We looked at life expectancy(预测寿命) at age 25,” Meara says.
“How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner? Versus how many years, can you expect to live if you’ve reached aged 25 and you’ve gone on to at least some college…”
Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years. In 2000, a 25-year-old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75.
In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990. Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact.
Meara says, not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people have made gains in the length of their lives. Meanwhile, the life expectancy hasn’t changed for less educated people.
Some of these gains can be explained. Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education.
“I think it’s a reminder not to be satisfactory,” Meara says. “Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesn’t always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the population. And I think that’s something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere.”
Meara points out that education can often determine income---people with more education frequently make more money. This makes them aware of health care, and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthier. But the data on income do NOT show that people who make more money are automatically healthier.
Meara says education is key. People need to be educated in order to take advantage of opportunities for better health.

Ethiopia has greatly reduced its death rates for children under the age of five years during the last two decades, new UN statistics show. The report says Ethiopia has cut the number of child deaths, by two thirds or so, to 68 per 1,000 births compared to that in 1990.
The government owed the improved figures to its growing economy. Despite the reduction, the UN Children's Fund said Ethiopia needed to do much more to improve health facilities(设施) for pregnant women.
Ethiopia is one of Africa's poorest states, although it has experienced rapid economic growth in recent years and is one of the continent's leading coffee producers. Its economy centers around agriculture, which in turn relies on rainfall.
The BBC's Emmanuel Igunza in the capital, Addis Ababa, says Ethiopia was once representative of poor nutrition in Africa. But the latest UNICEF(联合国儿童基金会) figures show Ethiopia is one of the few African countries on the path to realizing the development goal of reducing child death rates, he says.
Ethiopia's Health Minister Kesetebirhan Admasu said increasing family incomes had helped improve people's health. "This has also resulted in better nutrition for children and women; this has translated into better medical conditions —— all these have a direct or indirect influence on the survival of children," he told BBC Africa. He said the government has also been "aggressively expanding its primary health care network".
"We have now 93% coverage( 覆盖) of one health centre for 25,000 people, which basically means one health facility within a 7km area," he said.
1.How many in 1000 births would die in Ethiopia in 1990?
A. about 680 B. about 330 C. about 68 D. about 200
2.Which of the following statements is true?
A. Ethiopian children benefit from its fastest economy growing.
B. Ethiopia has a long way to go to improve health facilities.
C. Ethiopia is the economic center because of its rich rainfall.
D. Ethiopia has already become a rich state in Africa.
3.What do we know according to the latest UNICEF figures?
A. Many African countries have high child death rates now.
B. Ethiopia is the only country that has reduced child death rates.
C. Ethiopia is the most successful in reducing child death rates.
D. Ethiopia was once known for its poor nutrition in Africa.
4.What Kesetebirhan Admasu said shows that_______.
A. agricultural incomes have helped improve all the people's health in Africa
B. now the health care network is perfect in Ethiopia
C. 93% of the 25,000 people enjoy health centers in Ethiopia
D. the government has been taking active measures to improve people's health
