2、PopulationThe advantages and disadvantages of large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. ____. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population . Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify themOne 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 depending 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, concern of government to plane a limit on the birth rate, whatever the consequences may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building 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 one which is stable or in decline.【单选题】

3、The Process of AgeingAt the age of twelve years, the human body is at its most vigorous. It has yet to reach its full size and strength, and its owner his or her full intelligence; but at this age the likelihood of death is the least. Earlier, we were infants and young children, and consequently more vulnerable; later, we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigor resistance which, though imperceptible (察觉不出的) at first, will finally become so steep that we can live no longer, however well we look after ourselves, and however well society, and our doctors, look after us This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called ageing. If we escape wars, accidents and diseases, we shall eventually "die of old age", and this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person. Some of us will die sooner, a few will live longer. But there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive, however lucky and robust we are.Normal people tend to forget this process until they are reminded of it. We are so familiar with the fact that man ages, that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigor with time was something self-evident, like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes. "They have also assumed that all animals, and probably other organisms such as trees, or even the universe itself, must in the nature of things "wear out". Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do; ____. But these are not analogous to what happens when man ages. A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound. And old watch, by contrast, becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending. But a watch could never repair itself it does not consist of living parts, only of metal, which wears away by friction (摩擦). We could, at one time tune, repair ourselves well enough, at least to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents. Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power.an illness which at twelve would knock us over, at eighty can knock us out, and into our grave. If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve, it would take about 700 years for half of us to die, and another 700 of the survivors to be reduced by half again.【单选题】

A. Some old people are oppressed by the fear of death

B. an illness which at twelve would knock us over, at eighty can knock us out, and into our grave

C. and mechanical systems like a wound watch, or the sun, do in fact run out of energy

D.This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called ageing

E.And old watch, by contrast, becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending

F.and this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person

正确答案:C

答案解析:上文提到了人们设想所有的动物和其他有机体，甚至宇宙自身都会衰老。空白处前一句说，大多数动物“的确”会像人一样衰老(do age，此处的do起强调作用，age为动词)，而选项C也是一个相似的结构(do run out of energy)。所选句与其前一句一起，为后一句的转折作了铺垫。

Also, Semco lets its workers use the company\'s machines for their own projects, and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.It sounds perfect, but does it work? The answer is in the numbers. In the last six years, Semco\'s revenues have gone from $ 35 million to $ 212 million.

5、The Value of MotherhoodIn shopping malls, the assistants try to push you into buying "a gift to thank her for her unselfish love". When you log onto a website, a small pop-up invites you to book a bouquet for her. Commercial warmth and gratitude are the atmosphere being spread around for this special Sunday in May.The American version of Mother\'s Day was thought up as early as 1905, by Anna Jarvis, as a way of recognizing the real value of motherhood. The popularity of Mother\'s Day around the world suggests that Jarvis got all she wanted. In fact, she got more enough to make her horrified.____. They buy, among other things, 132 million cards. Mother\'s Day is the No. 1 holiday for flower purchases. Then there are the various commodities, ranging from jewelry and clothes to cosmetics and washing powder that take advantage of the promotion opportunities. Because of this, Jarvis spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mother\'s Day. One protest against the commercialization of Mother\'s Day even got her arrested for disturbing the peace, interestingly.But what\'s more, commercialism changes young people\'s attitude towards motherhood. As Ralph Fevre, a reporter at the UK newspaper The Guardian, observe, traditionally "motherhood is something that we do because we think it\'s right." But in the logic of commercialism, people need something in exchange for their time and energy. A career serves this purpose better.being encouraged to pursue any career they desire. So they work hard and play hard. Becoming a mother, however, inevitably handicaps career anticipation.motherhood has suffered a huge drop in status since the 1950s. According to the Guardian, there are twice as many child-free young women as there were a generation ago. Or, they put off the responsibility of parenting until later in their lives.So, Fevre writes that the meaning of celebrating Mother\'s Day needs to be updated: "It is to persuade people that parenting is a good idea and to honor people for their attempt to be good people."【单选题】
