Eg. The world's population is increasing faster and faster.
世界的人口正增长得越来越快。
②population与百分比或分数连用,作主语时看作复数。
Eg. About 70 percent of the population in China are farmers.
中国大约70%的人口是农民。
③..... have / with a population of...
Eg. New York is a big city with a population of over 10 million.

④人口的多少用形容词large和small。★不用much和little
Eg. The population of China is much larger than that of Australia.
中国人口比澳大利亚人口多的多。
⑤询问人口的数量时用what 或how large。 ★不用how many
Eg. What' s the population of your city 你们城市人口有多少
2. Indians speak English as a second language.
①the +序数词+ n.第.... (强调编号和顺序)
Eg. the third largest country第三大国He was the second ( student) to come.他第二个来。
②a/ an+序数词+ n. 又一,再一，另一 (相当于another)
Eg. He bought two flats last year. He' d like to buy a third this year.

3.People in India mainly speak Hindi，but their second language is English，so it isn’t too difficult to communicate with the local people.
(1)too...to...意为“太……而不能……。
too后通常跟形容词或副词， to后跟动词原形。
The box is too heavy for me to carry.
知识拓展：“too+形容词/副词+to...”结构可与“so...that+否定句”进行同义句转换， 且that后的句子中多使用情态动词can或could。
He was too tired to say a word.=He was so tired that he couldn't say a word.
4. over one billion， the second largest population in the world
（1）billion意为“十亿”。如果其前面有具体的基数词修饰时， billion用单数， 且其后不加of。但是当billion后面接of表示概数时， billion要用复数。
It took them more than two billion dollars to complete the project.
Billions of stars twinkle in the sky.
知识拓展：有类似用法的其他数词：hundred 百thousand 千 million 百万
More than two hundred people were injured.
The sunwas shining.Thousands of people are relying on the beach.
He is prepared to pay two million.
（2）population名词， 意为“人口”， 其用法如下：
①population在句中作主语时，谓语动词常用第三人称单数形式。
The world's population is increasing faster and faster.
②当population与分数或百分数连用， 在句中作主语时，谓语动词多用复数形式。
About seventy percent of the population here are farmers.
③表示某国、某城市有多少人口时，可用“某国/某城市+has apopulation of...”或者“The
population of+某国/某城市+is...。
The big city has a population of about 5milion.=The population of the big city is about 5 million.
④表示人口的“多”要用large/big； “少”用 small。

No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2，000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel(隧道) into the king's palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length(长度) of its string(线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.
Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.
Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the Western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau(气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented(试验) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.
