试题分析：通过本文考查学生正确运用英语语法的能力。包括动词的时态，非谓语动词，副词，代词连词，冠词等。

【1】saying 考查非谓语动词。用动词的-ing形式做状语。

【2】carried 考查谓语动词的过去式。句中的in 1980说明本句是一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式carried。

【3】couples 考查名词的复数。a small number of 后面用复数名词couples。

【4】an 考查冠词。句意：如果父母一方是独生子女的话，就可以要2 个孩子。only是元音开头，所以用an表示一个。

【5】to 考查固定搭配。react to 反应。

【6】probably 考查副词。副词修饰动词are。

【7】more 考查比较级。句意：农村人更感兴趣，但是他们一些人已经被允许要2个孩子了。

【8】whom 考查关系词。用whom代指1.37 billion人，在从句中做介词宾语。
