四、阅读理解。
Most new babies were born in the developing countries. These countries are found in Africa, South America and parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North America, the population (人口) 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, about one quarter of the world’s population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only about one tenth of the world’s people.
In 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 conditions. Children get little time at school and 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 U.N. has said that the world’s population will level off (平稳下降) at 12.5 billion by the year 2100. Other groups think the world’s population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable (稳定的), or even falls.

参考答案与解析
一、单项选择。
1. C
【解析】句意：——托尼总是给我们带来快乐。——是的。他很幽默，他经常讲笑话并让别人发笑。
考查形容词辨析。quiet安静的；polite有礼貌的；humorous幽默的；kind和蔼的。根据“he often tells jokes and makes others laugh”可知，此处应该是说他很“幽默”。故选C。
2. A
【解析】句意：中国正变得越来越强大。这让我感到自豪。
考查形容词辨析。feel proud感觉自豪；feel tired 感觉累；keep quiet 保持安静；feel smart感觉聪明。根据“China is becoming stronger and stronger.”可知，中国强大应该是让我感觉自豪。故选A。
3. C
【解析】句意：这里的空气污染使我不舒服。
考查名词词义辨析。discussion讨论；relationship关系；pollution污染；information信息。根据“makes me uncomfortable.”，结合句意和选项，可知“空气污染使人不舒服”，所以air pollution“空气污染”符合语境，故选C。
4. B
【解析】句意：——在李雷家的那次晚餐怎么样？——很好。李雷的妈妈是个优秀的厨师。
冠词是一种虚词，一般加在名词前边表示特指或泛指某一个。定冠词用在名词前，表示特指某一个；不定冠词用在名词前，表示泛指任何一个。a用在辅音开头的单词前，an用在元音开头的单词前。wonderful是一个以辅音音素开头的单词。第一个空后的名词dinner被介词短语at Li Lei’s house限定，前面该加定冠词。所以选B。
5. D
【解析】本题考查形容词和语境辨析。句意：虽然他躺在床上闭着眼，但他是醒着的。A. sleepy瞌睡的；B. angry生气的；C. quiet 寂静的；D. awake醒着的。结合句意“此刻他醒着的”符合题意。故选D。
6. A
【解析】句意：作为一名中国共产主义青年团的新成员，我非常紧张，演讲时我的手都在发抖。
考查形容词辨析。nervous紧张的；confident自信的；energetic精力充沛的；quiet安静的。根据“my hands were shaking when giving the speech”可知，手紧张地在发抖，故选A。
7. A
【解析】句意：维吾尔族舞蹈节奏感强，时快时慢。
考查名词辨析。sense感觉；service服务；spirit精神；secret秘密。根据空后“sometimes fast while sometimes slow.”可知，应是节奏感强。故选A。
8. D
【解析】句意：当阳光从窗户照进来，客厅变得更明亮了。
考查形容词辨析。bigger更大；cleaner更干净；quieter更安静；brighter更明亮。根据“... when the sunlight comes in through the windows.”可知阳光照进屋里，屋里会明亮。故选D。
9. B
【解析】句意：当老师进来时，学生们停止讲话，变得非常安静。
考查非谓语动词及词义辨析。stop doing sth.停止正在做的事情；stop to do sth.停下来去做某事。根据“When the teacher came in”可知，老师进来时，学生们停止正在说话的这个动作，故第一空应填动名词作宾语。quiet安静的，形容词；quietly安静地，副词。become后接形容词作表语，故选B。
10. A
【解析】句意为：世界上的人口越来越多。结果，地球的负担变得越来越重。
考查名词词义辨析。population人口；pollution污染；protection保护。根据下文“As a result, the burden of the earth is becoming heavier and heavier.”可知，此处是人口变的越来越多。故选A。
二、根据汉语填空。
11. solving
【解析】句意：用另一种方法解决这个问题怎么样？how about怎么样，介词about后接动名词；根据句意语境和汉语提示，可知填solving。
12. pollution
【解析】句意：随着城市里汽车越来越多，空气污染已经成为一个大问题。pollution污染，是不可数名词，air pollution空气污染，固定短语，故填pollution。
13. rubbish
【解析】句意：把垃圾扔进垃圾箱是有礼貌的。rubbish垃圾，不可数名词，在句中作宾语，故填rubbish。
14. service
【解析】句意：这家旅馆提供美味的食物和舒适的客房，但仍有更多的顾客抱怨它的服务。“its（它的）”作为形容词性物主代词应作定语修饰其后的名词，所以横线处应填名词形式的“服务”，即“service”，这是不可数名词，所以此空用单数形式。故填service。
15. noisy quiet
【解析】句意：这个地方太喧闹了。我想搬到安静的地方。根据单词的汉语意思可知，第一个空考查noisy，一个形容词，作表语；第二个空考查quiet，形容词修饰somewhere，后置。故答案为noisy, quiet。
三、用所给单词的正确形式填空。
16. pollution
【解析】句意：空气污染使我感觉很难受。pollute污染，是一个动词。根据句子结构可知，The air …是句子的主语，所以这里应用名词形式pollution。故填pollution。
17. the quietest
【解析】句意“他是我们班里最安静的男孩子，他几乎不说话”。根据in my class可知，用最高级，且形容词最高级前必须加the，故填the quietest。
18. to solve
【解析】句意“他想如何解决安全问题”。本题考查“疑问词+to do”结构，在句中作about的宾语，意为“如何解决”，故填to solve。
19. service
【解析】句意：这家商店的衣服不错，但服务很差。分析句子结构可知，此处缺少主语，需用名词；serve的名词为service意为“服务”，不可数名词。故填service。

21. About three quarters.
根据短文第一段“In 1950, about one quarter of the world’s population lived in the developed countries.”可知，在1950年，世界上大约有四分之一的人口生活在发达国家，即四分之三的人口生活在发展中国家。故答案为About three quarters.
22. Hard.
根据短文第二段“These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing conditions. Children get little time at school and suffer (遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases.”可知，生活在贫困线以下的人们没有足够的食物，住房条件很差，孩子们也得不到教育，还遭受很多疾病的痛苦。由此可知，他们的生活可以用hard“艰难的”来形容。故答案为Hard.
23. Yes, there will.
根据最后一段“The U.N. has said that the world’s population will level off (平稳下降) at 12.5 billion by the year 2100.”可知，联合国表示世界人口到2100年会平稳下降到125亿，由此可知答案是肯定的。故答案为Yes, there will.
