答案：
56.C 这句话是说，在未来30年内人类将面临一场灾难。next表示“下一个的，接下来的”，与句意相符。
57.B 因后一句有other，所以这一句应用some.
58.D food shortage“食物短缺”，是固定搭配。
59.C 上一句说有些专家认为会引起普遍的食物短缺，这里说其他专家认为此观点过于悲观，因此用too.
60.B get在此处是个系动词，意为“变得…”，更符合题意。being没有变化的意思；remaining意为“保持”，不能与比较级连用。
61.A 此句意思为“人类能做的一件事是……”，another指“另一件事”，only和sole都指“惟一的”，与句意不符。
62.D 此句意思为“控制新生儿的数量”。C选项修饰不可数名词，可排除。B选项“整体、全体”与句意不符。A选项是指整体来考虑的数量，与质量相对，因此答案为D.
63.A the need for“对……的需要”，是固定搭配。
64.A 根据句意“要实现控制新生儿数量这个目标不容易”，故只能选A.
65.C 根据句意“必须说服人们去控制他们的家庭人数”，persuade“说服”，更符合题意。Be inclined to“倾向于，想要”；prevail“流行，遍布”；convert“转化，变换”。
66.B population explosion“人口爆炸”，是固定搭配。
67.C make an income“成为收入的来源”，符合题意；derive常与from连用。
68.D look after“照顾”，更符合题意；look upon“认为，看待”；look over“调查，从…上面看”；look into“窥视，观察”。
69.C adopt“采取、采用”，更符合题意；adjust“调整”；create“创造”；present“出示，交出”。此句意为采取了计划生育的政策。
70.B 后面提到的国家超过了3个，所以用among，between是指两者之间。
71.D in some eases“在某些情况下”；in prospect“可期待，有……希望，在考虑中”。
72.C 上句提到在有些地方计划生育政策实施得并不成功，下面又提到Ft本这个国家，由数据显示我们可知日本的生育率下降了，因此日本实施计划生育政策是成功的，即Ft本是个“例外”，所以选C.
73.A encourage“鼓励”；approve“赞成，同意”；support“支持”；promote“促进，发扬，提升”。本句意为“政府鼓励人们限制家庭的规模”，因此A符合题意。
74.A birth rate“出生率”，是固定搭配。
75.B at present“现在，目前”，是固定搭配。
