19、 limited resources among countries. In the international development【 C1】com_, the coronal 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 enou
20、gh 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【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
21、 resources we consumed each year came primarily from【C5】w_our own boundaries, this 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 Amer
22、icans consume such a(n)【C8】(proportion)share of the worlds resources, we have 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 th
23、e 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 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 br
24、ead and are asking for still more. The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition 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 A55 The major part of m
25、y childhood was spent in fighting off terror of things which didn t exist, and I don t think my father ever understood that kind of fear. The overriding and most terrifying bogeyman of my life, which has been with me since my earliest memories, and remains faithfully with me though now it seldom put
26、s me out of commission, has been a fear of vomiting. It has used up and wasted and blackened many hours of my life. But my father never had a notion of what I was talking about when I cried and shook and said. “You know It s that thing again.“ While I was in junior high school and even high school,
27、I was still going to my parents bedroom, sometimes five nights a week, and climbing in their bed, all hot and cold and shaking, pleading for Mother to say the key sentences which would begin to send the fear away. Always I felt dreadfully ill. Always I wanted to hear only one thing: “ You won t be s
28、ick. “ Always I kept my food down, though the nauseas was so extreme that anyone in his right mind would have stuck his finger down his throat and been done with it. My father would follow my mother and me to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and as I sat on the toilet clutching their hands,
29、he would pat my head and say things to Mother like, “Did she eat something funny?“ or, “Suppose shes got a little bug?“ and Mother would shake her head and signal him that he was saying the wrong thing again. Once, as I was crawling into bed crying, and Mother was moving over to give me room mumblin
30、g to me that everything would be all right, my father half woke up and said to Mother in a soft voice which had shades of annoyance, “Whats the matter with her? Is it her stomach?“ I think I said, “No, its my head. “ and the degree to which my anger rose equaled the degree to which the nausea sank.
31、One time my mother was out of the house, and I had a bad attack of whatever you would call that terror, and I had no one to call but my father. I was crying, and I told him what to say. “Just tell me I won t throw up. You know I won t, so just tell me I don t have to.“What s so bad about throwing up
32、?“ he said. Those perfectly reasonable words threw me into a flesh panic and I let go of his arm and covered my ears and sobbed and said. “ No, no, don t say that, you can t say that.“ 56 The organizational pattern of this passage is one of_.（A）generalization-evidences（B） evidences-generalization（C）
33、 generalization-evidences-generalization（D）evidences-generalization-evidences57 We can conclude that the author_.（A）is still haunted today by this fear though not frequently（B） believes that her mother understood her fear（C） her father never understood her fear（D）felt .angry when her father seemed a

35、d, who would you choose? Joel Stain decided hed make a great Ricky Martin. Welcome to Fantasy Island.Its an offer worthy of Mr. Roarke: Wyndham El San Juan Hotel & Casino, in Puerto Rico, has developed a three-night package in which you check in as a Celebrity.The hotel puts no constraints on which
36、name you choose, though President Clinton, Dracula, and Boy George have all been rejected.(Two men were permitted to come as Rodgers and Hart, so I m not sure what the problem with George was.)I almost picked someone I admired, until I realized that a weekend as Wallace Shawn might not be a Dionysia
37、n romp.Instead I chose Ricky Martin, because he s big in Puerto Rico, and my girlfriend chose Jennifer Lopez, because I told her to.(It seemed more legitimate than when I make her pretend to be Jennifer Lopez at home.)I didn t know much about Martin, so on the flight down I read Entertainment Weekly
38、. I wasn t happy about what I found out, and I don t mean the meditation stuff.Upon landing we were greeted by a hotel publicist and a driver, each holding a piece of paper that read Mr. Ricky Martin and Ms Jennifer Lopez. The pomp was so unimpressive that no one at the Airport expected Ricky and J.
39、 Lo. The lack of a crowd was a lucky break, since the hotel had also sent a photographer who kept asking us to hold our placards and smile. Never have the words, Ricky Martin and giant loser seemed so interchangeable. On the five-minute drive to the hotel, the driver told us to sit back, relax, and
40、reach into the white limo s fridge for a cold can of Medalla Light. Celebrities really do live better.At the hotel the publicist whisked us to the Texas-themed restaurant, the Ranch, built with real Connecticut barn wood. Nothing submerges you into the relaxing Caribbean lifestyle as much as Texan a
41、ttitude and Northeastern barn wood. The manager gave us a complimentary platter of rattlesnake sausage and jalapeno poppers, which, I believe, are known as the food of celebrities. He blasted Martin s song She Bangs and made five waiters run over and ask me to dance, an unpleasant thing to demand of
42、 a celebrity, much less of someone pretending to be one. Then they led me to the mechanical bull, which I rode until I fell off. .61 Where does this ad want us to go for a vacation?62 Who is Ricky Martin?63 Are all conceivable names possible for checking in?64 What does the driver s white limo sugge
43、st?65 What does the description of the restaurant suggest?Section C66 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 phenomenon first described by Charl
44、es 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 transfer pollen from one plant
45、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 Sweden, have discovered, apparently f
46、or 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 point of tearing off the tough, re
47、d 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
48、at them. Dr. Olsson and his colleagues found that flowers with the petals left intact never produced seed. But, according to their paper in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 87% of flowers with the petals torn off did so.To check that it was the skinks alone that were the plants little
49、helpers, the researchers placed cages around some honey-bushes. Virtually all of the petals were removed from the flowers on bushes without cages. Only 16% of the caged bushes had their petals ripped off, possibly by high winds battering them.Dr Olsson found no evidence of pollen being carried on a sk
