三、阅读理解
?? There are about 7 billion people on the Earth now. The world's population is a big problem because it will cause lots of problems in the future. More people will need more food and will need more room to live in as well.

It is difficult for parents to decide to have a second child. Someone says that a single child is likely to be a lonely child. There are no other children in the family for the child to talk to or play with. An only child is not able to get along well with children of his age. Some parents regretted (后悔) making the decision to have only one child.
But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, more than 14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child. The same situation can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average number of children born per family had gone down to 1. 42 by 1996.
For some single-child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time and energy seem to be overwhelming. They don’t have enough time or energy to share with more children. For other people, money is their first consideration. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 reaches around US $ 160, 000.
1. According to the passage, why is a single child likely to be lonely?
A. Because his parents don't love him.
B. Because he doesn't have holidays.
C. Because he doesn't have a brother or a sister to talk to or play with.

答案：
The Population Problem
With the development of the society, our country is becoming stronger and stronger. But the large population has been a big problem. Because of the large population, we are short of energy and water. The traffic is much heavier in most big cities. Public places are much more crowded. People have fewer places to live in and it's difficult for many of them to find jobs.
Although China is developing quickly and people's living conditions are improving greatly, we still have a long way to go.
