Most new people were born in developing countries. These countries are found in much of Africa,South America and some parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North America,the population is growing slowly. This is because women in the countries have,on average (平均),only one or two children. In the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950,around one quarter of the world's population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only around one tenth of the world's people.

In the developing counties more than one billion people are still living below the poverty(贫困) line. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor houses. Children get little time at school and people suffer(遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases.

At the beginning of the 21st century,the world's population was around six billion. The UN(联合国)has said that the world's population will continue to grow,reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable(稳定的),or even falls.

【解析】

文章大意：短文主要叙述了世界人口的增长情况，详细介绍了人口增加带来的各种问题。

【1】细节理解题。根据文中Most new people were born in developing countries. These countries are found in much of Africa, South America and some parts of Asia. 这些新出生的人大多数出生在发展中国家。这些国家分布在非洲大部、南美和亚洲部分地区。可知发展中国家可以在非洲、南美以及亚洲的部分地区找到，故答案为Africa, South America and parts of Asia.

【2】细节理解题。根据文中This is because women in the countries have, on average (平均),only one or two children.这是因为这些国家的妇女平均仅生一两个孩子，故答案为This is because women in the countries have, on average (平均),only one or two children.

【3】推理判断题。根据文中In 1950,around one quarter of the world's population lived in the developed countries. 在1950年的时候，世界上四分之一的人口生活在发达国家，推断出有四分之三（75%）的人口生活在发展中国家，故答案为Three fourths/75% of the world's population.

【4】细节理解题。根据文中In the developing counties more than one billion people are still living below the poverty(贫困) line. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor houses. Children get little time at school and people suffer(遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases. 在发展中国家，已有10多亿人生活在贫困线以下。这些人没有足够的食物吃，他们住在贫穷的房子里；孩子几乎没有时间上学，人们遭受着各种各样的疾病，故答案为These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor houses. Children get little time at school and people suffer(遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases.

【5】细节理解题。根据文中The UN(联合国)has said that the world's population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable(稳定的),or even falls.联合国说世界人口在它稳定或下降之前将继续增长到140亿，故答案为14 billion.
