解析试题分析：
【小题1】B。beautiful“美丽的”， unlimited“无限的”；rare“稀罕的，稀少的”； valuable“有价值的”。根据前面的There were few people on the earth可知此处指在过去资源是无限的。
【小题2】D。与过去形成对比，表示现在情况不同了。
【小题3】A。根据第一段的There were few people on the earth可知过去地球上人很少，而现在人很多、很拥挤。
【小题4】C。protect“保护”，save“节约，拯救”； pollute“污染”；fight“斗争，打架”。根据句中的with dangerous chemicals可知此处指人们正在用有害的化学物质污染环境。
【小题5】B。句意：如果我们继续这样，地球上的人类就不能生存下去。
【小题6】B。wonder“想知道”； realize“意识到”； consider“考虑，认为”； discover“发现”。根据第四段的We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. 可知应选B。句意：现在每个人都意识到如果从海中捕捞太多的鱼，不久就没有鱼了。
【小题7】C。modern fishing methods表示“现代的捕鱼方法”。
【小题8】D。根据前面的We know that if too many trees are cut down可知此处应选forests（森林）。
【小题9】A。根据Yet可知，虽然人们意识到过度砍伐树木的危害，但人们还是继续那样做。干扰项是C、D。若选C、D，keep与 go on后面要跟v. -ing形式。
【小题10】D。根据Yet可知，虽然人们意识到过度砍伐树木的危害，但人们仍然用大型机械砍伐树木。
【小题11】B。根据上下文可知此处表示转折，however经常位于句首、句中或句末，且用逗号与主句隔开。but也表示转折，但不用逗号与主句隔开。A、D两项表示“因此”。
【小题12】A。句意：然而在很多国家，垃圾仍然被扔进河流或大海。
【小题13】D。根据语境可知此处应指几乎没有法律来制止这样做。
【小题14】C。production“生产”; pollution“污染”; population“人口”; pronunciation“读音”。根据句中的there will not be enough food以及下文的The world population will not rise so quickly可知此处应选C。
【小题15】C。solve these problems表示“解决这些问题”，干扰项是A、B。若选A，A项应为work out。若选B，B项应为deal with。
【小题16】B。句意：如果我们多吃蔬菜少吃肉，那么每个人就会有更多的食物可以吃。
【小题17】A。feed more people表示“养活更多的人”。
【小题18】D。句意：如果我们学会对资源循环利用，我们的自然资源就会更持久些。此处last是动词，表示“持续”。
【小题19】A。birth control表示“计划生育”。
【小题20】C。planet此处指“星球”，即我们的地球。
