V. Read the passage below and choose the one correct answer for each question:

The human population has grown dramatically this century. In 1900 there were 1.6 billion people on earth. By 1950 this figure had grown to 2.7 billion. By the end of the 20th century, the earth’s population was about 6.6 billion.

For thousand of years, man lived in a very primitive way. Before the recent developments in agriculture, medicine and industry, life was difficult. It was hard to make a living from the soil without modern farming methods, and a few years of bad crops could mean famine and therefore death – as it still does today in some parts of the world. Illnesses as mild and as common as influenza could kill a Stone-Age man weakened by hunger; appendicitis was always fatal before the days of surgery. Even childbirth was a hazardous process. Under these conditions, the human race needed to reproduce at a high rate just to keep in existence. But the size of the population did not change very rapidly, for without modern medicine, many babies and young children died. So for a long time, the population grew very slowly. And this is still the case today in some parts of the world where the people live without the aids of modern technology.

It was only about two centuries ago – which is less than one-thousandth of man’s existence – that the population growth pattern changed. New discoveries in medical science had a dramatic effect on the death-rate. Fewer children died in infancy, and adults lived longer. Consequently, the population began to expand rapidly. And in the 20th century, this acceleration of population growth has begun to cause serve social economic problems in many developing countries.

influenza: (y học) bệnh cúm;

mild: nhẹ, êm dịu;

appendicitis: (y học) bệnh viêm ruột thừa;

hazardous: liều, mạo hiểm; nguy hiểm; may rủi;
