【解析】

试题分析：

1.句意：世界主要分为两部分。从下文中提到的一方穷另一富，可知应该是两部分。故答案为two。

2.句意：两部分不同之处在于：一方富有，一方贫穷。当出现两者时，常常用“one…the other”来表示一方，……另一方。故答案为other。

3.句意：富有的一方，很多人又吃得太多。上文中提到：在贫穷的一方，许多人没有足够的食物吃，形成对比的是富有的一方。依据语境，故答案为eat。

4.句意：许多人越来越胖。而且为了减肥还要节食。两个比较级放在一起，表示越来越……，依据句意，故答案为fatter。

5.句意：贫穷国家有特殊的问题。从下文中的句子“But the rich countries have problems”，故答案为problem(s)。

6.句意：但是富有的国家也存在问题。上文提到贫穷国家有特殊的问题。故此处用too表示富有的国家也存在问题。

7.句意：河水太脏不能在河里游泳，也不能从中取水用。too…to太……不能。依据句意，不能在河里游泳，也不能从中取水饮用。可以猜测是河水受到了污染，变脏了。故答案为dirty。

8.。因此答案为and。
