参考答案和解析
正确答案:C
答案:C
[试题分析] 事实判断题。
[详细解答] 根据第三段第一句World population is increasing at a rate of 9,000 per hour.可判断A世界人口每分钟增加150人正确;根据该段第二句This is not only due to higher birth rates,but to lower death rates as well.可判断B论断正确;而由第四段的Some countries,such as Columbia, Thailand,Morocco,Costa Rica,and the Philippines.are doubling their populations about every twenty-one years可判断, C哥伦比亚人口持续21年每年翻一番的论断混淆了事实,论断错误;D美国人口每87年翻一番可根据第三段第二句The United States is doubling its population about every eighty-seven years一句判断为正确论断。因此,本题答案为C。
