1、PopulationThe advantages ａｎｄ　disadvantages of large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good lａｎｄ　is limited . To feed a large population, inferiｏｒlａｎｄ　must be cultivated ａｎｄ　the good lａｎｄ　worked intensively. ____. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope fｏｒspecialization 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 ｌｉｍｉｔon 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 fｏｒmanufactured 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 ｏｒin decline.【单选题】

A.which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demａｎｄ　to justify them

B.It has been argued that the supply of good lａｎｄ　is limited

C.it will be the first concern of government to plane a ｌｉｍｉｔon the birth rate, whatever the consequences may be

D.Thus, each person produces less ａｎｄ　this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population

E.A small population may mean lower productivity, but a higher average income

F.because it results in a declining market fｏｒmanufactured goods

正确答案:D

答案解析:选项D中所说的“人均产出少”正是前文中“土地问题”的结果，更明确地说明了有限的土地和庞大的人口数量之间的矛盾。另外，该题也可以用排除法选出正确答案。

3、Mobile PhonesMobile phones should carry a label if they proved to be a dangerous source of radiation, according to Robert Bell, a scientist. ａｎｄ　no more mobile phone transmitter towers should be build until the long-term health effects of the electromagnetic radiation they emit is scientifically evaluated, he said. "Nobody\'s going to ｄｒｅｐdead overnight but we should be asking fｏｒmore scientific information," Robert Bell said at a conference on the health effects of low-level radiation. “If mobile phones are found to be dangerous, they should carry a warning label until proper shields can be devised,” he said.A report widely circulated among the public says that up to now scientists do not really know enough to guarantee there are no ill effects on humans from electromagnetic radiation. According to Robert Bell, there are 3.3 million mobile phones in Australia alone ａｎｄ　they are increasing by 2,000 a day. By the year 2000 it is estimated that Australia will have 8 million mobile phones: nearly one fｏｒevery two people.As well, there are 2,000 transmitter towers around Australia, many in high density residential areas. Fｏｒexample, Telstra, Optus ａｎｄ　Videophone build their towers where it is geographically suitable to them ａｎｄ　disregard the need of the community. The electromagnetic radiation emitted from these towers may have already produced some harmful effects on the health of the residents nearby.Robert Bell suggests that until more research is completed the Government should ban construction of phone towers from within a 500 metre radius of school grounds, child care centres, hospitals, sports playing fields ａｎｄ　residential areas with a high percentage of children. He says there is emerging evidence that children absorb low-level radiation at a rate more than three times that of adults. He adds that there is also evidence that if cancer sufferers are subjected to electromagnetic waves the growth rate of the disease accelerates.____ According to Robert Bell, it is reasonable fｏｒthe majｏｒtelephone companies to fund it. Besides, he also urges the Government to ｓｅｔup a wide ranging inquiry in to possible health effects.【单选题】
