Unit 1 The Changing World 单元话题阅读理解练习 （23-24九年级上·福建泉州·期中）Earth is getting more crowded as the world population is still growing. Especially in some countries, their population growth is faster than others. These include Egypt, India, Nigeria and so on. However, the growth may not last always. The low birth rate (出生率) and more older people will be the main causes. According to the World Population Prospects 2022, the world population should reach 8 billion on November 15 this year. It could grow to 9.7 billion in 2050, before reaching the highest point of around 10.4 billion people during the 2080. The population is expected (预期) to stay at that level until 2100. And in 2023, India should overtake China and have the largest population in the world. While the world population is still growing, its growth rate is at its slowest since 1950 because of fewer babies. Today, two-thirds of the world population live in a country or area where lifetime fertility (生育率) is below 2.1 births for each woman. A population with this kind of birth rate and low death rate would not grow or reduce over time. It would stay about the same. A low birth rate means fewer young people to care for the growing aging population worldwide. The share of the world population aged 65 or above is expected to rise to 16 percent in 2050. Around the world, life expectancy (预期寿命) could go up to 77.2 years in 2050 from 72.8 years in 2019. However, where you’re born can decide your life expectancy. Life expectancy for the least developed countries is 7 years less than the world average (平均). 1．Which country is expected to have the largest population in 2023? A．India. B．China. C．Egypt. D．Nigeria. 2．According to Paragraph 2, which of the following pictures can show the change of the population? A． B． C． D． 3．The growth rate of the world population has something to do with ________. ①birth rate ②death rate ③the number of countries ④lifetime fertility A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①③④ 4．In 2050, life expectancy for the least developed countries may be ________ years. A．65 B．70.2 C．72.8 D．77.2 5．What is the best structure(结构) for the text?

They are working on the 7th national population census (普查). They will ask each family about their name, age, education and job. China has a census every 10 years. At the first one, there were about 600 million people in China. Now China’s population has boomed. It was about 1.37 billion in the 6th census, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). “The census is very important for every citizen (公民),” said Ning Jizhe, director of the NBS. “It will help improve infrastructure (基础建设) and public services.” For example, if the census shows that there are many children living in a certain area, the government will know that it should build more schools there. Scientists can also learn more about population growth from the census. In some years, the population grows faster than in others. Even in the same year, population growth is different in different places. Scientists can use the information to figure out what causes growth in certain years and places. 2020’s census is different from past ones in one important way. For the first time, citizens will be encouraged to use smartphones and other digital tools to record their information, Xinhua reported. When census takers knock on your door, they will offer you an account (账号) number and a QR code (二维码) that you can use to record your information. 6．Which of the following will NOT be asked on the 7 national population census? A．Their hobby. B．Their name. C．Their age. D．Their job. 7．When was the 6th national population census done? A．In 1990. B．In 2000. C．In 2010.

A．Because if there are many children, they may need more hospitals. B．Because it will help improve infrastructure and public services.

A．The census is important. B．People can use smartphones. C．2020’s census is different. D．Scientists know what causes growth. （23-24九年级上·重庆·期中）On May 11,2021, the National Bureau of Statistics (国家统计局) released (发布) the results of China’s seventh national population census (普查). Because it’s only done once every 10 years, the national census is important for helping the government. Let’s take a look at some of the findings. First, China still has a large population. The population of China is 1.41 billion. Although there are some worries about the birthrate (出生率), the country’s total population has been growing and will stay above 1.4 billion for some time. Second, China is getting into an aging (老龄化) society. Why do we think so? The country’s average (平均的) age is 38.8 years old. Nearly 20 percent of the population is over 60 years old, but the number of working-age people has dropped by over 40 million. This will cause problems such as fewer workers. But it could also make people buy products and services about old people. Third, Chinese people get more education than before. Nearly 220 million people have college degrees. China has done much to develop higher education in recent years, as well as make sure school-age kids go to school. Fortunately (幸运地), our government has realized the problems and has attached great importance to them. The government is trying its best to create more jobs. What’s more, family care and community services shall also be encouraged. 11．How often do we have a national population census? A．Every ten years. B．Every nine years. C．Every eight years.

In the 1940s, villagers in Shashiyu had little food and few clothes, but they had a strong wish for a better life. Zhang Guishun, the Party secretary of Shashiyu, encouraged his villagers to do their best to pull themselves out of poverty (贫困). “In the ancient Chinese story, Yu Gong could move mountains with his strong will and hard work, why can’t we? Nobody was born to be poor!” Hearing his words, the villagers decided to make a difference. Led by the Communist Party of China (中国共产党), the villagers carried water and soil to their village from faraway places to improve their land. From 1966 to 1971, they reclaimed (开垦) lots of land and greatly improved their life. However, the village’s environment became heavily polluted by chemical plants. The polluting factories were shut down in 2004, and villagers started planting grapes, which soon became a main industry in Shashiyu. In 2019, the village was called “National Forest Village”.

When I first saw this city, it was filled with beggars (乞丐) and lots of low buildings. Many of the buildings had shacks (窝棚) on top of them. There were no birds and other little wildlife.

But are you hoping for a more open and convenient environment? When gates and walls are gone, everyone can enjoy a city with better traffic, bigger green areas for picnics and more cafes and bookstores to meet your friends. Turning gated communities into blocks is one way to achieve this, according to the Chinese government. Open communities have already become popular in many cities in other countries, like Paris, France, and New York City, US. There, the roads, shops and green areas are for everyone. “Humans need communication and sharing. A good city needs to offer people enough space to do this,” said Wang Weiqiang, an urban planning expert from Tongji University. Another good change blocks may bring is better traffic in cities. There will be more roads open to the public. And more people may choose to walk rather than drive cars because they don’t need to take a long way to get around gated communities. However, not everyone likes the idea of open communities. Quite a lot of people say they have spent money on the roads inside the communities, and they worry about safety problems when communities are open. The Chinese government explained that the opening would be carried out step by step and more detailed (详细的) plans would come out in the future. Also, there have been testing blocks in some areas in Chengdu, Sichuan, and so far it has been working well. 33．What are open communities like? A．There are better traffic and bigger green areas. B．Only people who live there can go freely inside. C．Everyone can go shopping for free there. 34．What advantages can open communities bring? a. People will have more space for activities. b. People can enjoy better traffic. c. People will feel safer than living in gated communities. d. People can live a greener life. A．abc B．abd           C．acd 35．Why are some people against the idea of open communities? A．They’re happy with what they have now. B．They like to share space with others. C．They worry about safety problems. 36．What can we infer from the passage? A．There will be more open communities in China. B．Gated communities are better than open communities. C．China is going to develop into an gated and shared society. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 参考答案： 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 A A B B B A C C B C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 A C C D A B C A B A 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 D B A B D C A C A D 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 答案 B C A B C A 1．A 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了世界人口在不断增长，但是这种情况可能不会持续下去，低出生率和更多的老年人将会是主要原因。 1．细节理解题。根据“And in 2023, India should overtake China and have the largest population in the world.”可知，到2023年，印度将超过中国，成为世界上人口最多的国家。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“According to the World Population Prospects 2022, the world population should reach 8 billion on November 15 this year.”可知，2022年世界人口应达到80亿；根据“It could grow to 9.7 billion in 2050, before reaching the highest point of around 10.4 billion people during the 2080.
