Question

【題目】閱讀C篇短文，按要求完成下列各題。C
A very important world problem is the growth of population on the earth. The population of the world today is more than 6,500,000,000. That is a great number and we know it quite well. ①The important thing is not how large the population of the world is now, but is the rate(速度) of the growth. It is about 1.63% every year after the number of dead people has been taken away.
To give you some ideas of the birth rate, look at the ②second hand of your watch. Every second, four babies are born in the world. Another baby! Another baby! Another baby! Another baby! ③You can not speak quickly enough to keep up with the rate of the growth of the population. It is growing faster and faster. So it goes on, hour after hour. In one day, people have to find food for about 350,000 mouths more.
This great growth of population will make a big problem by the year 2050 — there will be as many as 7,500,000,000 people on the earth! So this is one of the biggest problems that you are going to meet in your life.

【解析】本文談?wù)撌澜缛丝诳焖僭鲩L(zhǎng)的問題。
⑴句子翻譯。這是一個(gè)復(fù)合句，句中使用了not……but結(jié)構(gòu)，意思是“不是……而是……”，所以答案是：重要的事情并不是世界上現(xiàn)在有多少人口，而是人口增長(zhǎng)的速度。
⑵短語(yǔ)翻譯。根據(jù)定語(yǔ)of your watch和后一句every second（每一秒）可知second hand是手表的秒針，所以答案是：秒針。
⑶句型轉(zhuǎn)換。原句意：你講話的速度跟不上人口的出生速度。即：你的講話速度沒有人口增長(zhǎng)的速度快。用as+形容詞原級(jí)+as結(jié)構(gòu)，根據(jù)中間的quick可知，所以答案是as；as。
⑷細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第2段very second, four babies are born in the world可知每秒有4個(gè)嬰兒誕生，一分鐘就是4X60=240，所以答案是240或者Two hundred and forty。
⑸細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第1段段可知現(xiàn)在最大的世界問題是人口增長(zhǎng)過快，所以答案是The rapid growth of population.。
