II. READING
Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer:
In an early survey conducted in 1888, a billion and a half people inhabited the earth. Now, the population is
about six billion and is growing fast. Even though the rate of growth has begun to slow down, most people
believe the population size may be eight billion during the next several years.
If we examine the amount of land available for this ever increasing population, we begin to see the problem.
Not all land is useful to us because it cannot produce food. We can cut out about one fifth of it because it is
covered by snow and ice. Then we can cut out another fifth because it is desert. Another fifth is mountains.
The other fifth does not have enough soil for crops to grow because it is bare rock. Obviously, with so little
land to support us, we should take great care not to reduce it any more or with the rapidly growing population
we may sooner or later lack food to eat and place to live in.

A. The world's population and the shortage of cultivated land. B. The growth of the world's population.
