语篇提能阅读理解ARecently I read the Human Development Report. I couldnt help thinking about another problem which the world is facing hunger. According to the report, 2,400 people are dying from hunger every day; nearly 13 million in southern Africa will be worried about their food supply because of earthquakes, floods or wars.In a word, hunger remains the biggest problem of the world today. Its strange to see that man can travel to the moon, but still doesnt know how to feed himself. You may ask, “Who steals our bread？” The first thieves should be population growth, poverty and loss of rich farmland.In less developed areas like South Africa, the population grows faster than the crops. It is almost impossible for its government to feed so many people and provide education for them. So it is very important to control the population growth and protect their farmland in countries whose people are suffering from hunger.According to the report, the worlds food production is enough to feed everyone if it is given away well. But the problem is that the developed countries are eating food that should be given to the poor. Although they are just using their own earning, the fact is that they are coldly watching others starving away.Luckily, some developed countries such as Netherlands, Norway and Sweden have done a lot to help those hungry people in African countries. We hope other developed countries will follow them.1According to the passage，which of the following cannot help make fewer people hungry? APoor countries control their population growth.

The UN report was started in nineteen ninety to measure the progress of nations based on the lives of their citizens.This years report lists one hundred seventythree countries. It is based on the length of time citizens are expected to live, their education level and the amount of money they earn. Norway was listed as the country providing the best quality of life for the second year. It was followed by Sweden, Canada, Belgium, Australia and the United States. The twentyfour countries at the bottom of the list are all in Africa.The report says many countries in East Asia have made progress since nineteen ninety. They include China, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Malaysia.In Latin America and the Caribbean, as many as nine countries improved since nineteen ninety. They include Chile, Costa Rica and Panama. At the same time, many countries in Eastern and Central Europe and the former Soviet Union lost progress in the quality of life for their citizens. This was because of problems with economic reforms. They include Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Tajikistan.This years human development report centered on the issue of democracy(民主).
