But a new report predicts the world's population is likely to increase to almost 11 billion by 2100.Based on the most modern statistical tools，the new report makes use of government records and considers expert predictions，including death rates， birth rates and international migration，or people moving across borders.The report says during the rest of this century，Africa's population will grow from about 3.5 billion to 5.1 billion over the next 85 years. John is director of the United Nations Population Division.He says that in the past，researchers thought population growth in Africa would be similar to that of other areas.They expected slower growth rates as birth control use became more widespread.But he says those ideas were wrong. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 “The level of contraception use has continued to increase but slowly—more slowly than expected，and birth rate therefore has been falling less rapidly than expected，and the population therefore continues to grow somewhat more rapidly than we expected.”The new findings are based on a joint research project of the United Nations and the University of Washington. The researchers believe the population of Asia will reach five billion by 2050.That is up from the current 4.4 billion.And then it begins to decline.The researchers also believe that North America，Europe，Latin America and the Caribbean area will have a total population of below one billion. John says the pressure of feeding the rising population is likely to be less than that might be expected. “The relatively good news is that the world has been winning the race between population growth and food production.If you look back historically over the last 50 years，certainly for the world as a whole and for many most individual countries and regions ， the increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population.” 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一份预测未来世界人口增长趋势的报告。 4．Which area will experience the largest increase in population at the end of the century?

A．Expert predictions are not exactly like what the facts happen. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 B．Birth rates have always been falling less rapidly than we expected. C．The population grows less rapidly than population experts expected. D．The increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population.

A．The world's population will increase constantly. B．The population of Asia will rise by 5 billion by 2050. C．John is optimistic about feeding the rising population.
