第1题
that short period of time, the population of the world
had increased by eighty-five people. Perhaps you think 【S1】______
that isn't much. In the next hour, more than 5,000
additional people will be living on this planet. So it
goes, hour after hour. In one day, there are about
120,000 additional mouths to feed. Multiply this by
365. What will happen after 100 years? 【S2】______
This population explosive may be the greatest 【S3】______
challenge of the present time. Within the next forty
years, the world population may double. Can the new
frontiers of science meet the needs of the crowded
world of tomorrow?
If the present rate of population increase continues
for the next 600 or 700 years, there will be standing
rooms only. Each will have between 3 to 10 square feet 【S4】______
of space in which to live. This contains the 【S5】______
mountaintops, deserts, and the ice and snow fields of
the polar areas. Of course, no one expects such a thing
to happen. War, plague, famine or some other
catastrophe can be expected to occur long when the 【S6】______
population reaches this point. Actually, the danger is in 【S7】______
an overcrowded world where people are huddled
together so that they cannot move arms and legs, but in
an upset balance between population and resources.
Since 600 years is so far away, take a look directly
ahead. How can the hungry people be filled? About 【S8】______
half of the babies born this year will not have enough to
eat. Is the world going out of water? Will there be 【S9】______
enough fuel? What will supply the energy need to run 【S10】______
the machine of tomorrow's world? Certainly, man must
look to the future and find new ways of providing for
his needs.
【S1】
第2题
world’s population. But, with the return of Hong Kong and its six
million inhabitants to China, only 180,000 people in 12 populated
territories now themselves as British colonial subjects. 【M2】______
Britain's imperial expansion, which continued for 400 years,
was motivated by the desire to acquire the wealth, and to 【M3】______
maintain the British navy’s control of the seas. Today, that flow
of wealth has reversed and most of the "dependent territories", 【M4】______
as these colonies are known, require some financial support from Britain.
It was with the granting of independence to India in 1947 Britain【M5】______
started to dismantle its empire. It was relative easy to give independence【M6】______
to the larger colonies - indeed, most campaigned vigorously for self - rule—
but the small dependencies, which were less economically viable, preferred【M7】______
to remain beyond British rule. 【M8】______
Most are still unwilling to cut these old ties, chiefly for financial
reasons. Since 1990 , Britain has provided its dependencies with 153 million
in aid, and for many this money is a lifeline. Even Britain's rich【M9】______
territory ,Bermuda, wants to maintain its links with the UK. In
a referendum in 1995 voters overwhelmingly rejected dependence. 【M10】______
Bermuda is Britain’s oldest colony and it earns much of its income
through banking and other financial services.
【M1】

Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems. 【B2】Even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast. Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the world's population. 【B3】As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will decrease.
People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are many poor people in the world. 【B4】These supporters of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world. Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization. This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry. If those who argue against economic growth are correct, the problems they mention cannot be ignored.【B5】To find a solution, economists and business community must pay attention to these problems and discuss them with one another.
At an earlier period, our desire for material wealth may have been justified.
