1
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.
C. The necessity of reducing the rate of birth.

A. has stopped growing B. is still growing
C. is decreasing rapidly D. stands at about eight billion
20.According to the passage, we ______.
A. can cultivate on all land. B. are not influenced by the land reduction
C. can grow crops on bare rock D. should protect land
21.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word 'bare' in the second paragraph?
A. hard B. empty C. treeless D. rough
22.Which of the following sentences is not true according to the passage?
A. Most of the world's land are uncultivated.
B. The rapid growth of population may lead to a shortage of land.
C. Only one fifth of the world's land is being cultivated.
D. There has been a dramatic reduction of the birth rate.

Throughout history there have been many great explorers. Have you, for example, heard of
Marco Polo, the famous Italian traveler? He was the first European to travel to China. He
arrived in China in the late 13 th century. About 200 years later, Christopher Columbus sailed
from Spain by ship. He was looking for a new way to reach India. However, as you probably
know, he didn't reach India. He landed in America. Five hundred years after Columbus in the'

1930s a famous explorer named Richard Byrd was one of the first persons to fly over both the
North and the South Poles. Today we continue to explore this world and are studying to
explore other worlds, too. In the 1930s Russian and American scientists sent many unmanned
spacecraft to the moon. These spacecraft sent back very valuable information about the moon.
Then on July 16th 1969 the first manned spaceship to the moon left earth. On that day Apollo
11 blasted off with three American astronauts on board. Four days after blast-off, two of these
astronauts landed on the moon. They later explored the surface of the moon. About two days
after landing on the moon, they started back to the earth. They arrived safely back on earth a
few days later. Today we are sending unmanned spacecraft to other planets. In the future, we
might walk on Mars or Venus the way we did on the moon. We might even travel to other
galaxies. Who knows? One thing we know for sure is that we will continue to explore this
world and other worlds, too.
