【解析】
本文介绍了当今世界有许多严重的问题。人口问题可能是最大的问题之一。两千年前,世界上只有2.5亿人。到目前为止,已经达到了68亿。由于人口众多,人们的居住空间将会减少。这么多人很难找到工作。更糟糕的是,人口众多会给全世界带来许多困难。所以现在许多国家正在采取更多的措施来控制人口增长。
【1】句意:最大的问题之一可能是人口问题。A. probably可能; B. must 必须,一定;C. may be 也许是;D. may可以。probably 意为“很可能”,在此修饰动词be,可理解为“很可能是”。故选A。
【2】句意:世界人口增长越来越快。形容词或副词的比较级+and+形容词或副词的比较级,表示“越来越……”。故选D。
【3】句意:两千年前,世界上只有2.5亿人。thousand 用在数词后不加s, 与of连用一定要加s;million 百万,millions of 大量、许多。由下文的句子One thousand ,six hundred years later, the number was over 500 million.可知,一千六百年后,这个数字超过了5亿。因此C不对;故选C。
【4】句意:到目前为止,已经达到了68亿。A. So far到目前为止;B. From now on从今以后; C. At that time在那时;D. At times有时。句子it has reached 6.8 billion.的时态为现在完成时,因此前面用So far引导的时间状语。故选A。
【5】句意:由于人口众多,人们的居住空间将会减少。A. As 由于;B. Because因为;C. Because of 因为,由于;D. Since自从。because of 是介词短语,意为“因为,由于”,A、B、D均为连词。the large population是名词,因此用because of。故选C。
【6】句意:由于人口众多,人们的居住空间将会减少。结合语境应填与少有关的词less和little,排除B/D;结合语境可知,由于人口众多,人们的居住空间将会比现在减少。因此用比较级。故选A。
【7】句意:这么多人很难找到工作。A. many许多;B. a number of一些;许多的;C. few很少的;D. little少许,一点; It's+ adj. +for sb. +to do sth. 为固定句型,表示“某人做某事……”。so many如此多的,故选A。
【8】句意:更糟糕的是,人口众多会给全世界带来许多困难。A. bad坏的,原级;B. better 好的,比较级;C. worse 坏的,比较级;D. good好的,原级。由句子large population will cause many difficulties for the whole world.人口众多会给世界带来许多困难。可知,这不是好事,排除B/D;结合语境可知,人口众多会给世界带来许多困难要比人们找不到工作还要糟糕。因此用比较级worse。故选C。
【9】句意:例如,我们将缺乏能源和水。A. be short of缺少;B. be more of更多的;C. lose失去;D. lost失去;will 后接动词原形,故D不对;结合语境用be short of 短缺。故选A。
【10】句意:所以现在许多国家正在采取更多的措施来控制人口增长。A. ways方法,道路;B. methods方法;C. measures 措施;D. policies政策。take measures固定搭配,表示采取措施。因此本题选C。
