There's a lot of noise here. 这个地方人声嘈杂。
（2）voice作名词，意为“声音，嗓音”。用于人时，指说话、歌唱或发笑的声音，也可指发言权。用于其它方面时，常含悦耳之声，如鸟鸣声，乐器声音等。 例如：He talked of his trip to Hong Kong in a cheerful voice.
他兴高采烈地谈了他的香港之行。

（3）sound泛指自然界的任何声音，不论其高低、是否悦耳等。例如：

Light travels faster than sound. 光比声音传播得快。
2. huge
huge是常用词, 用于具体事物或人时, 指“体积或数量大得超过一般情况”; 用于抽象事物时, 作“巨大的”、“无限的”解。 例如:
He stood tongue-tied before the huge audience.
在大批听众面前他站着说不出话来。
【拓展】
（1）big“大的，巨大的”，常指程度，范围，规模，容积，重量，数量等(还可表示“伟大，重要”之意)常可与large互换，多用于具体的、有形的人或物(其反义词多为little/small。)

3. question＆problem

你的问题是什么?你能自己回答吗?
What’s your problem? Can you solve it by yourself?
你的问题(困难)是什么?你能自己解决吗?

句式精讲
1. It takes an hour to get there by bus.
It takes (sb. ) some time to do sth.是固定句型，意为“做某事需要花费（某人）多长时间”。take在此意为“花费”，it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式to do sth.。句式中的take的时态要根据具体情况而变化，对这个句式中的时间提问时用how long。 例如：
It takes me half an hour to finish my homework every day.
我每天花费半个小时的时间做作业。
How long does it take you from your home to school?
从学校到你家要花多长时间？
【拓展】
动词spend也有“花费多长时间做某事”的意思，但句式和take不同。它的句式是
“sb. spends + 时间或金钱+ (in) doing sth. /on sth.”。例如：
I spend about 3 hours (in) doing /on my homework every day.
我每天花大约三个小时做作业。
2. But in the future, China’s population won’t grow so fast, because families are getting smaller.
in the future意为“在将来，在未来”。通常指将来的某一段时间，常用于将来时态。例如：
There will be more trees and less pollution in the future.
未来将会有更多的树和更少的污染。
【拓展】
in future 表示“今后，以后”，一般指从现在开始往后的时间，常指离现在较近的一段将来的时间；多用在表示提醒或者警告的句子中。例如：
You’d better not go out alone in future. 今后最好别单独外出。
In future, make sure you get here on time. 今后, 要保证准时来这里。
3. With more and more people in the world, more and more water is used.
句中的more and more 意为“越来越多”，more在这里是much的比较级，此处属于“比较级+ and+比较级”的用法。and连接同一个形容词或副词的比较级，表示“越来越……”。当形容词或副词是多音节或部分双音节的词时，则用more and more + 形容词/副词原级。例如：
It’s getting warmer and warmer in spring.
春天天气变得越来越暖和。
We want to make our country more and more beautiful.
我想让我们的国家变得越来越美丽。
The car ran more and more slowly. 汽车跑得越来越慢。
4. More than 3.4 million people die each year from drinking and washing with dirty water.
die from 意为“由于......而死”，其原因多来自事物外部，是由环境造成的，后常加这样的词：earthquake(地震), traffic accident（交通事故）, lack of food（缺乏食物）, over work（过度工作）, carelessness(粗心)等。例如：
In a severe winter, wild animals can die from lack of food.
在寒冷的冬天, 野兽可能因为缺乏食物而饿死。
【拓展】
die of 也意为“因......而死”，但是死因多来自事物内部，主要指情感、疾病、衰老等自身的原因，后常加这样的词： illness(疾病), cancer(癌症), hunger(饥饿), sorrow(悲伤)等。例如：
People are dying of cancer more and more often.
死于癌症的人越来越多了。
My grandmother died of grief soon after her husband's death.
祖父去世不久, 祖母就因悲伤过度而死了。
5. Hang on a minute! I’ll write that down too!
hang on 此处为非正式用法，意为“等一会儿，稍等；别挂断电话”。例如：
Hang on! She will be back soon. 稍等，她马上就回来了。
【拓展1】hang on的其他用法：
（1）hang on 意为“紧紧抓住”。例如：
He hung on until the rope broke.
他紧握着绳子, 直到绳子断了。
The girl hung on to her mother's hand as they crossed the street.
过马路的时候, 小女孩紧抓住她妈妈的手。
（2）hang on 意为“坚持下去”。例如：
Although we are beaten, we must hang on.
尽管我们失败了, 我们还得坚持下去。
John did not like his job, but he decided to hang on to it until he found a better one.
约翰不喜欢他的工作, 但他决定干下去, 直到找到更好的工作。
【拓展2】hang的其他搭配：
hang out 闲逛 hang about=hang around 闲逛，徘徊，逗留
hang up挂断（电话）
注意：hang意为“逗留，悬挂”时，过去式和过去分词都是hung；hang还有“吊死，绞死”的意思，但当hang意为“吊死，绞死”时，其过去式和过去分词都是hanged。

III. 阅读理解
A
October 16 is World Food Day．This day is also the anniversary(纪念日) of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO)(联合国粮农组织)．More than 100 countries are holding special events．All of these aim to celebrate the establishment of the FAO in 1945．The theme chosen for this year’s World Food Day is“Water：Source(资源) of Food Security”．
A UN report says that over 6 million people have died from hunger and related diseases so far this year alone．More than 850 million people，or about one in seven，around the world do not get enough food，and the need for food will increase as the world’s population grows．The UN also reports that by year 2030，the world may need 60% more food．Most of that increase will have to come from agriculture supported by water irrigation(灌溉)．However，fresh water is already in short supply in many countries．
Jacques Diouf，the director of the FAO，says that there are 20 countries that do not have enough water to produce enough food for their populations．Ten nations use more than 40% of their total flesh water for agriculture．He fears that the problem will only become worse as the need for water by people and by industry grows．So water is one of the most important things in the world today．
1．The underlined word“establishment”has the same meaning as _______．
A．picking up B．making up C．cutting up D．setting up
2．In the world，more than _______ people have died because of hunger this year．
A．6 million B．2 million C．850 million D．100 million
3．What Mr Diouf says shows that he most worries about ________．
A．the future of the FAO
B．the short of water
C．the overgrowth of population
D．the development of the environment
4．The reading above implies that _______．
A．flesh water for US is quite enough
B．the world’s population is getting smaller
C．we will need more water to irrigate
D．industry is the most important thing today
5．The passage is mainly about ________．
A．how to celebrate World Food Day
B．the increase of food in many countries
C．the importance of water for food
D．the UN Food and Agriculture Organization
B
The increasing population is one of the most serious problems our world is facing now. New study shows that the world population will be 6,400,000,000 by 2050.
India will pass China as the world’s most populated country. China now has 1,300,000,000 people. The population should increase about ten percent by 2050. The United States will remain the third biggest nation whose population is close to 300,000,000 now. Because of immigration (移民) and low death rates among babies, its population will reach 420,000,000.
Between now and 2050, Niger will be the fastest growing country. The biggest decrease (减少) will be in Bulgaria. It is based on information from the United Nations.
And the study says most growth will take place in countries with young populations and traditionally large families. Nigeria and Japan will be different from each other. In Nigeria, almost half the people are under the age of fifteen. Few are over sixty-five. Nigerian women generally give birth about six times during their lives. Usually, a Japanese woman has one child. And today about twenty percent of Japanese are over the age of sixty-five.
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
6. Which country will have the largest population by 2050?
____________________________________________
7. What’s the population of China by 2050?
____________________________________________
8. Why will the population of the United States increase?
____________________________________________
9. What country’s population will increase fast?

10. Which country will have more people than before, Nigeria or Japan?

（2019威海市中考）
Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles? Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because it’s easy — you can carry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer.
However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source(资源) of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldn’t need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we recycled all our plastic bottles, we wouldn’t need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we don’t recycle much of the plastic we use. In 2006, Greeks recycled only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and sees.
So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you recycled it, you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isn’t a recycling bin near you? Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference.
11. What is not mentioned about bottled water in this passage?
A. It’s healthy. B. It’s clean. C. It’s easy. D. It’s expensive.
12. Plastic products are made from .
A. energy B. oil C. rubbish D. plants
13. of plastic waste became rubbish in Greece in 2006.
A. 10% B. 50% C. 80% D. 90%
14. Which is the best way to deal with used plastic bottles?
A. To recycle them. B. To make a piggy bank.
C. To make a plant pot. D. To drop them into the river.
15. The underlined part in this passage tells us “ ”.
A. To make a different life, you’d better go outside.
B. To look different, you’d better wear green clothes.
C. To protect the environment, you can do something.
D. To go green, you should use plastic products.
IV. 书面表达。
请根据提示内容，写一篇80词左右的短文，谈谈你对人口问题的看法。
1．世界人口迅速增长带来了许多问题，如粮食不足、失业率高等。
2．中国是一个人口大国，也是农业大国，还有许多人生活在贫困线以下。
3．中国应坚持独生子女政策，控制人口增长。
参考词汇：农业 agriculture 在贫困线以下below the poverty line 坚持 carry on
