2. million num. 百万 Shanghai has got 14 million people.

4. population n.人口

population是复合名词，用法如下：
（1）与定冠词the连用，作主语时，谓语动词常用第三人称单数形式。如：
The population of this city is 8 million.
这个城市的人口是八百万。
（2）有时可用作可数名词，其前可用不定冠词。如：
New York is a bit city with a population of over 10 million.
纽约是一个有一千多万人口的大城市。
（3）表示人口的“多”或“少”，要用“large”或“small”。如：
India has a large population. 印度人口众多。
Singapore has a small population. 新加坡人口少。
（4）询问某国、某地有多少人口时，不用“How much……?”，而用“How large……?”；问具体人口时用“What……?”。如：

It is (hot) in Guilin than that in Harbin.
6. 1.5 kilometres long 1.5千米长

This building is 90 metres high.
The swimming pool is 50 metres long and 20 metres wide.
My vacation is two weeks long.
7. 554 metres high 554米高
辨析：high与tall
（1）high与tall都可以表示“人”的身高，建筑物的“高”；只是表示“人”的身高时多用“tall”。如：
The city has many high (tall) buildings.
8. Daming, can you answer some questions for my homework, please?

②a. 在期望对方肯定的回答时，问句也用some。
如：Will you lend me some money?
b. any表示“任何；任何一个”时，也可用于肯定句。

③some和any后没有名词时，可作代名词，此外两者也可作副词。
