It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To food a large population, i

28、nferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of

29、facilities(便利设施) such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.One of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depen

30、ding on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources. It will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate

31、 whatever the consequences may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the bu

32、ilding industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than un which is stable or in decline.（分数：6.00）(1).To food a large population, _.A. inferior land must be cultivatedB. good land m

33、ust work intensivelyC. each person must produce lessD. Both A and B.（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(2).A small population may mean _.A. higher productivity but a lower average incomeB. lower productivity but a higher average incomeC. lower productivity and a lower average incomeD. higher productivity and a higher

34、 average income（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the passage, a large population will produce a chance for developing _.A. agriculture B. transport systemC. industry D. national economy（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(4).One of the difficulties in carrying out worldwide birth control is that _.A. official attitude

35、s to population and birth control vary from country to countryB. different countries have different customs and practices on birth controlC. decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment in some countriesD. in some countries people think that they enjoy the right to have as many children as they li

36、ke（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(5).The government of the developed countries may prefer to _.A. a stable populationB. a slowly-increasing populationC. a fast-increasing populationD. a declining population（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)However important we may regard school life to be, the fact cannot

37、be denied that children spend more time at home than in the classrooms. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and thwart curricula objectives.Administ

38、rators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of the newer methods used in Schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as reading readiness programs, manuscript writing, and developmental mathematics.Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of

39、the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The many interviews carried on during the year as well as new ways of reporting pupils progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home.To illustrate, suppose that a father has been d

40、rilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent sublimate his natural parental interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a yardstick or

41、measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip, and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics and, at the

42、 same time, enjoying the work.Too often, however, teachers conferences with parents are devoted to petty accounts of childrens misdemeanors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for penalties and rewards at home.What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teach

43、er, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters capacities.（分数：10.00）(1).Whats the main idea of this

44、passage?A. Home training is more important than school training.B. Parents should spend more time with their children.C. Teachers should help parents to exert their influence.D.

In Bra, thats close enough to being tight on time. Though not far from the industrial city of Turin, Bra sm

48、ells of roses, and leisure is the law. It is both the home of an international movement that promotes “slow food“ (the opposite of American fast food) and one of 31 Italian municipalities that have joined a sister cause, the “slow cities.“ These cities have declared themselves paradises from the acc

49、elerating pace of life in the global economy. In Bra, population 27,866, the town fathers have declared that all small food shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday. They forbid cars in the town square. All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must be organic. The city offers cut-rate mortgages to homeowners who do up their houses using a local butter-colored material and reserves choice commercial real estate for family shops selling handmade chocolates or specialty cheeses.
