问题     People are making more and more demands for the world’s natural resources. If babies born in 1991 live for 80 years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with between 10 and 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be a significant decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they will have been sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.
    Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing global warming, and eating less meat may go some way to help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the "baby class" of 1991?
    There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments; as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and as individual citizens.
Which of the following can be the title for this passage?
选项 A、Making More Demands for Natural Resources
B、Limiting the Pollution of Air and Water
C、Solving the Problem of the World Population
D、Saving the Babies Born in 1991
答案C
解析 通读全文可知，第一段讲述了人口越来越多，对世界的自然资源需求越来越大，如果1991年出生的婴儿活80年，到2070年时将会和1130亿至150亿的其他人共享地球资源；第二段介绍了可能会帮助解决这一问题的方法；最后一段列出了应该对现状负责并解决问题的人类群体。由此可推知，文章主要是围绕“解决世界人口问题”这一主题展开的。A、B、D三项过于片面，不能概括文章大意。故选C。
