There are about 56 million people in the United Kingdom. This is a big population for such a small country. But large parts of the country have few people. Most of the population is crowded into the big cities and industrial(工业的) areas. About 90% of the people live in cities and towns. Only about 10% live in the countryside. Today very few people—less than 2% of the population—are farmers and farm workers.
England has the most people. About 46 million live in England. Of these, about 14 million live in London and the southeast .London is now a city with about 7 million people. About 5 million Scotland’s people live in the middle part. Here are the cities and towns of the industrial area. The mountains in the north and the south have a very small population. Fewer than 3 million people live in Wales. Like Scotland, most of the population live in the industrial area in the south. There are only about one and a half million people in Northern Ireland.

Are you the only child in your family Have you heard of “the two-child policy (政策)”
Everyone knows the one-child policy. It is a population control method. Chinese government aimed to control the increasing population at that time. Many Chinese couples understood that and followed that policy for nearly 40 years. Everyone should be responsible for our country.
However, as time goes by, some problems appear in our society. At present, these problems are mainly about:
●The number of workers changed from about 960 million in 2010 to 940 million in 2012.The number changed to 930 million in 2014 and will possibly fall by 29 million by 2020.
● China is now getting into an aging (老龄化) society. There will be more old people in the following years. But the society will be short of doctors and nurses to take care of them.
●The population of China will become smaller and smaller if one-child policy continues. It’s the basic reason that leads to the two above problems.
That’s why Chinese government began the two-child policy on January 1st,2016.It allows each family to have two children. The government expects it can help solve those social problems gradually. This policy will help offer enough workers in the future and prevent our country from entering the aging society. It is reported that there will be around 2.5 million newly-born babies each year.
( 　 )51.From the passage, we know that 　　　.
A. our government is facing 3 main problems
B. the one-child policy started on January 1st,2016
C. our population increased a lot from 2010 to 2014
D. the two-child policy won’t work at all
( 　 )52.The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 means 　　　.
A. the family
B. the increasing population
C. the one-child policy
D. the two-child policy
( 　 )53.The number of workers was 　　　 in 2014.
A.960 million B.940 million
C.930 million D.29 million
( 　 )54.You may read this passage in 　　　 part in a magazine.
A. Traveling and Transportation
B. Society and History
C. Food and Health
D. Science and Art

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 very slowly. This is because women in these 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 ①百分之二十五 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 population.
②In the developing countries, 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 housing. Children get little time at school and people suffer(遭受痛苦)from many kinds of diseases.

八．Dear Mr. Mayor.
I'm a student from No.2 Middle School. I am very proud that great changes have taken place in our city, but l am still worried about one problem. It's the increasing population. As you know, there are more and more people in our city. Now the population is over 300,000. Because of the large population, it's very crowded in the city. And the increasing number of private cars also causes noise pollution, transport problems and air pollution.
So, I think we need to control the population of our city and the number of private cars. The government should make more rules, for example, one family should have only one child. And the government should stop factories pouring dirty water into rivers.
Thank you for reading. I hope that our city can have a bright future.
Yours,
Tony
