22、y of resources of many kinds in the world is how to divide limited resources among countries. In the international development community, the conventional wisdom has been that the 2 billion people living in poor countries could never expect to reach the standard of living that most of us in North Am
23、erica enjoy, simply because the world does not contain enough iron ore, protein, petroleum, and so on. At the same time, we in the United States have continued to pursue super affluence as though there were no limits on how much we could consume. We make up 6 percent of the worlds people; yet we con
24、sume one-third of the worlds resources.As long as the resources we consumed each year came primarily from within our own boundaries, this was largely an internal matter. But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, “outsiders“ are going to have some say over the rate at which and
25、terms under which we consume. We will no longer be able to think in terms of “our“ resources and “their“ resources, but only of common resources.As Americans consuming such a disproportionate share of the worlds resources, we have to question whether or not we can continue our pursuit of super afflu
26、ence in a world of scarcity. We are now reaching the point where we must carefully examine the presumed link between our level of well-being and the level of material goods consumed. If you have only one crust of bread and get another crust of bread, your well-being is greatly enhanced. But if you h
27、ave a loaf of bread, then an additional crust of bread doesnt make that much difference. In the eyes of most of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still more. People elsewhere are beginning to ask why. This is the question were going to have to answer, whether wer
28、e trying to persuade countries to step up their exports of oil to us or trying to convince them that we ought to be permitted to maintain our share of the world fish catch.The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition for, the worlds resources requires that we reexamine the way in which we relate t
29、o the rest of the world. It means we find ways of cutting back on resource consumption that is dependent on the resources and cooperation of other countries. We cannot expect people in these countries to concern themselves with our worsening energy and food shortages unless we demonstrate some conce
30、rn for the hunger, illiteracy and disease that are diminishing life for them.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, it has long been believed that _. A. people in poor countries scarcely know how to enjoy a high standard of living B. the worlds resources being limited, people in underdeveloped coun
31、tries are bound to live a poor life C. most Americans know that the worlds resources of many kinds are becoming scarce D. it is impossible for all the people in the world to improve their living standards（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).By “common resources“ (Paragraph 2), the author means that _. A. the resour
32、ces possessed by the United States should be shared by other countries B. Americans have the right to consume resources both from their home country and from abroad C. it is difficult to distinguish the resources possessed by America from those possessed by other countries D. all the resources in th
33、e world should be shared by all the countries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The writer gives the example of bread to show that _. A. the United States has been much richer than any other countries B. the United States has acquired more than what it has contributed C. the United States has been too greedy in i
34、ts pursuit of super affluence D. the United States is more capable of pursuing affluence than other countries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What is the conclusion of this passage? A. The United States will be isolated if it does not stop pursuing super affluence. B. The poor countries will no longer supply th
35、e United States with their goods. C. The United States should care about the well-being of other countries. D. It is time for the Americans to help the people in poor countries to improve their living standards.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The writer warns Americans that _. A. their excessive consumption ha
36、s caused world resource exhaustion B. they are confronted with the problem of how to obtain more material goods C. their unfair share of the worlds resources should give way to proper division among countries D. they have to discard their cars for lack of fossil fuel in the world（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、B
37、Passage Two/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Global energy demand is expected to triple by mid-century. The earth is unlikely to run out of fossil fuels by then, given its vast reserves of coal, but it seems unthinkable that we will continue to use them as we do now. Its not just a question of supply and price, or
38、even of the disease caused by filthy air. The terrorist assault on the World Trade Center raises other scary scenarios: how much easier would it be to crack open the Trans-Alaska pipeline and how much deadlier would it be to bomb a nuclear plant than to attack a wind arm?Skeptics may recall the burs
39、t of enthusiasm for conservation and renewable power when oil prices quadrupled in the 1970s. State-funded energy research and development surged, while tax incentives boosted solar, wind and other alternatives to petroleum and the atom. But when oil supplies loosened and prices dropped in the early
40、 1990s, governments lost interest. In the state of California, subsidies evaporated, pushing wind companies into bankruptcy.Clean energy has long way to go. Only 2.2% of the worlds energy comes from “new“ renewables such as small hydroelectric dams, wind, solar and geothermal. How to boost that shar
41、e-and at what pace-is debated in industrialized nations-from Japan, which imports 99.7 % of its oil, to Germany, where the nearby Chernobyl accident turned the public against nuclear plants, to the U.S., where the Bush Administration has strong ties to the oil industry. But the momentum toward clean
42、 renewables is undeniable. How soon we reach an era of clean, inexhaustible energy depends on technology. Solar and wind energies are intermittent: When the sky is cloudy or the breeze dies down, fossil fuel or nuclear plants must kick into compensate. But scientists are working on better ways to st
43、ore electricity from renewable sources.While developed nations debate how to fuel their power plants, however, some 1.6 billion people-a quarter of the globes population-have no access to electricity or gasoline. Many spend their days collecting firewood and cow dung, burning it in primitive stoves
44、that belch smoke into their lungs. To emerge from poverty, they need modern energy. And renewables can help. From village-scale hydropower to household photovoltaic systems to bio-gas stoves that convert dung into fuel.Ultimately, the earth can meet its energy needs without fouling the environment.
45、“But it wont happen,“ asserts Thomas Johansson, an energy adviser to the United Nations Development Program, “without political will.“ To begin with, widespread government subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear energy must be dismantled to level the playing field for renewables. Moreover, government
46、 should pressure utility to meet targets for renewable sources of energy.（分数：10.00）(1).The authors biggest worry about using nuclear energy is that _. A. it will do great harm to the inadequate reserves of coal B. it is deadly if terrorists attack a nuclear plant C. it will limit the development of
47、many other alternatives D. there will be a wider gap between developed and developing countries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The renewable energy research lost support from governments in the early 1990s because _. A. skeptics were becoming doubtful about the efficiency of renewables B. renewables could not meet the increasing energy n
