【盐仓24秋】外研版(2024)英语八年级上册A本Module 9 Population 模块语法精讲精练
What was the population of China in 2023? There were about 1.42 (billion) people in China in 2023. It was almost one fifth of world's population. However, the growth rate (增长率) of newborns in China is slowing down year by year, more and more young people don't want to get married or have children now. How to increase the population growth is big problem.
In the past, we had to control (控制) the population growth. Now it is (complete) different. People no longer need (worry) about food and clothing, and population aging (人口老龄化) is getting more and more serious. In order (solve) this problem, the government carried out the three- child policy (三孩政策) in 2021. We should make people (know) that young people are the future of our country. Just as the old saying goes, "A stronger teenager (青少年) makes stronger country. " So I think every couple should have at least one (child). In this way maybe the problem of population aging will be improved in the future.
Until the beginning of July, there has been no rain in northern Italy for over 100 days. Add to that the high temperatures, and the locals get very dry conditions. This is the most serious dry spell(干旱期)for that area in the past 70 years. Because of this situation, the country's longest river, the Po, is drying up!
This is bad news for several different reasons. The fresh water of the Po provides drinking water for northern Italy. Besides, farmers in this area need the water of the Po to keep their crops growing. What's more, the flowing river water is used to create about half of the hydroelectric power(水力发电)for Italy. Its drying up means that more natural gas(天然气) will be used, which is bad for the environment.
There have been some interesting discoveries from this lack of rain, however. Between Florence and Milan, a long ship sunk (沉没)in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river. Now many tourists and locals come to see this ship. A German tank has also appeared out of water near Mantua. At other places along the river, people can even walk on the sandy river bed. Although this may be interesting, people in Italy and around the world are hoping for the return of rain to refill the Po!
