三、 阅读理解
The world's population reached eight billion on November 15, 2022. A baby born in the Dominican Republic, in the Caribbean, was named “the earth's eight billionth baby and living person”．
The world's population now is about eight times as large as that in 1803. Population growth increased quickly in the 20th century. As humans learn more about health, diet and medicine, more people live to a healthy old age. Humans also get better at growing crops(庄稼), so more people around the world have enough to eat and live longer.
It was only 13 years ago, in 2011, that the world's population hit seven billion. Much of the population growth in the last 13 years has taken place in Asia. The population of India grew by about 180 million. It takes the place of(取代) China to have the largest population in the world now.
Some worry that eight billion people is too many for the earth. But most scientists say that the number is not the problem. The bigger problem is the overuse of resources by rich people. The UN expects the world's population will grow to about 8.5 billion in 2030, and 9.7 billion in 2050. And by the 2080s, the world's population will grow by 2.4 billion. When that happens, there will be fewer resources.
“The world's population reaching eight billion is a milestone(里程碑)，” Antonio Guterres, the head of the UN, said. “The milestone is a time to celebrate diversity(多样性) while considering human's shared responsibility(责任) for the planet.”
