3、Japan, but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion, she saidAlmost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries, so that we have a very big challengeFamily planning

4、 experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in sub-Saharan AfricaIn May, the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100. Much of that growth will come from Africa, where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year

5、more than double Asia s 1 percent growth rate. If that rate stays consistent, which is not certain, Africas population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billionJoel Cohen, a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York, said universal

In addition to providing information about birth control, a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility（生育力）, improve the health of their children and allows them to move from a mind-set of having

11、fecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades. “Weve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long-term change in the open oce

12、an environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And weve been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean.”Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the

13、 chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid, Dore explains. And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and

14、that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the PH down, and makes it more acidic.The seawater samples Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirm what the theory predicts.The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up

15、with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.Its important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. Its potentially catastrophic.55. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Sea Life Fac
