In the international development【 C1】 com_, the coronal
21、 wisdom has been that the billion people living in poor countries could never expect to【 C2】 r_the standard of living that most of the people in North America 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 ha
22、ve continued to pursue super-affluence as though there were no limits【 C3】 how much we could consume. We【 C4】 m_ only 6 percent of the world s people: yet we consume one third of the world s resources. As long as the resources we consumed each year came primarily from【 C5】w_our own boundaries, this
23、was largely an internal matter. But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, we will no longer be able to think in【 C6】 of “ our“ resources and “ their“ resources , but only of【 C7】 c_resources. As Americans consume such a(n)【 C8】 (proportion)share of the worlds resources, we have
24、 to question whether or not we can continue our pursuit of super-affluence in a world of【 C9】 (scarce). We are now reaching the point at which 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
25、 get another crust of bread, your well-being is greatly enhanced. But if you have a loaf of bread, then an additional crust of bread doesn t make【 C10】 d_. In the eyes of most of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still more. The prospect of a scarcity of, and com
26、petition in, the world s resources requires that we re-examine the way in which we relate to the rest of the world. 46 【 C1】 47 【 C2】 48 【 C3】 49 【 C4】 50 【 C5】 51 【 C6】 52 【 C7】 53 【 C8】 54 【 C9】 55 【 C10】 Section A 55 People in the United States in the nineteenth century were haunted by the prospe
27、ct that unprecedented change in the nation s economy would bring social chaos. In the years following 1820, after several decades of relative stability, the economy entered a period of sustained and extremely rapid growth that continued to the end of the nineteenth century. Accompanying that growth
28、was a structural change that featured increasing economic diversification and a gradual shift in the nation s labor force from agriculture to manufacturing and other nonagricultural pursuits. Although the birth rate continues to decline from its high level of the eighteenth and early nineteenth cent
29、ury, the population roughly doubled every generation during the rest of the nineteenth century. As the population grew, its makeup also changed. Massive waves of immigration brought new ethnic groups into the country. Geographic and social mobility downward as well as upward touched almost everyone.
30、 Local studies indicate that nearly three quarters of the population in the North and South, in the emerging cities of the Northeast, and in the restless rural counties of the West changed their residence each decade. As a consequence, historian David Donald has written. “Social atomization affected
31、 every segment of society. “ and it seemed to many people that “ all the recognized values of orderly civilization were gradually being eroded. “ Rapid industrialization and increased geographic mobility in the nineteenth century had special implications for women because these changes tended to mag
32、nify social distinctions. As the roles men and women played in society became more rigidly defined, so did the roles they played in the home. In the context of extreme competitiveness and dizzying social change, the household lost many of its earlier functions and the home came to serve as a haven o
33、f tranquility and order. As the size of families decreased, the roles of husband and wife became more clearly differentiated than ever before. In the middle class especially, men participated in the productive economy while women ruled the home and served as the custodians of civility and culture. T
34、he intimacy of marriage that was common in earlier periods was rent, and a gulf that at times seemed unbridgeable was created between husbands and wives. 56 What does the passage mainly discuss? （ A） The economic development of the United States in the nineteenth century. （ B） Ways in which economic
35、 development led to social changes in the United Slates. （ C） Population growth in the western United States. （ D） The increasing availability of industrial jobs for women in the United States. 57 What did the people in the United States do as the nineteenth century progressed? （ A） They emigrated t
36、o other countries. （ B） They often settled in the West. （ C） They tended to change the place where they lived. （ D） They had a higher birthrate than ever before. 58 After 1820, the economy entered _, accompanying which there was a structural change. 59 In the nineteenth century, _ had special implic
37、ations for women 60 Men in the middle class_ when women took care of home affairs. Section B 60 The sixteenth international AIDS conference opened on Sunday in Toronto, Canada. More than twenty-four thousand delegates from one hundred thirty-two countries are attending the six-day conference. They i
38、nclude scientists, health care providers, activists, political and business leaders and people living with the disease. Many people attending the AIDS conference represent private nongovernmental organizations, or NGOs. Political scientists often describe NGOs as “pressure groups“ because of their e
39、ffect on world issues. They have little official power over international decision-making. However, NGOs often influence international policy. A broad definition of NGO is any non-profit group that is independent of government. Most of these private organizations have one or more goals. For example,
40、 some support community development , provide social services and help poor people. Others support human rights and social justice. Still others work to protect the environment. NGOs support many issues and operate around the world. Some of the most well-known include Oxfam, Amnesty International an
41、d Greenpeace. James Paul heads the Global Policy Forum. It is an NGO in New York City that studies policymaking at the United Nations. He says that some NGOs represent industries or businesses, the interests of governments, or even criminal groups. He says it would be a mistake to believe that all N
42、GOs are neutral. The World Bank has divided NGOs into three main groups. The first is community-based organizations that serve populations in a small geographical area. The second is national NGOs, which operate in individual developing countries. International NGOs are the third kind. These organiz
43、ations usually have their headquarters in industrialized countries. They carry out operations in more than one developing nation. Information about the total number of non-governmental organizations is incomplete. However, experts estimate that tens of thousands of NGOs are active around the world.
44、Large international NGOs may have operating budgets of tens of millions of dollars. However, most NGOs are much smaller. 61 What does NGO stand for? 62 What is the broad definition of NGO? 63 What is the general function of NGOs? 64 Why does James Paul think it would be a mistake to believe that all
45、 NGOs are neutral? 65 What are the three main groups of NGOs divided by the World Bank? Section C 66 As every schoolboy knows, insects pollinate flowers, while birds and mammals disperse seeds by eating fruits or transporting burs on their feathers and fur. These are examples of co-evolution, a phen
46、omenon first described by Charles Darwin in The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, published in 1871. Co-evolution, in which two species have evolved together in response to adaptations that each has imposed on the other, can be extremely subtle. For instance, some animals may help to
47、 transfer pollen from one plant to another without acting directly as the carrier themselves. Instead, they make it easier for the pollen to be dispersed by other creatures. Mats Olsson and Richard Shine, of the University of Sydney, and Elisabeth Bak-Olsson, of the University of Gothenburg in Swede
48、n, have discovered, apparently for the first time, such a mutually beneficial arrangement between a reptile and a plant. For most of the year the Tasmanian snow skink lizard confined to mountain tops in that island is catholic in what it eats. But when the honey-bush is in bloom, the skinks make a p
49、oint of tearing off the tough, red petals that enclose the rest of the flower. They chew them to extract the nectar and spit out what is left. At first sight, this skink-savaging may not seem all that helpful to the honey-bush. But it is. It exposes the reproductive parts of the flowers, thereby allowing pollinating insects to get at them.
