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】

2、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 ｏｒher 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 vigｏｒresistance 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 vigｏｒwith 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 ｌｉｍｉｔon 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 fｏｒyears assumed that the process of losing vigｏｒwith time was something self-evident, like the cooling of a hot kettle ｏｒthe wearing-out of a pair of shoes. "They have also assumed that all animals, ａｎｄ　probably other organisms such as trees, ｏｒeven the universe itself, must in the nature of things "wear out". Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do; ａｎｄ　mechanical systems like a wound watch, ｏｒthe sun, do in fact run out of energy. 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.____. If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve, it would take about 700 years fｏｒhalf 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, ｏｒthe sun, do in fact run out of energy

D.This decline in vigｏｒwith 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:B

答案解析:前一句说，在12～80岁之间的这段时间里我们会逐渐地丧失自我修复的能力。所选句是对前一句话的具体说明，给前面一句提供了生动的注释。值得注意的连贯词是在两句中都出现的twelve和eighty。

4、Cars Are Good fｏｒthe Environment，HonestBritain\'s motｏｒindustry is planning a majｏｒpublicity campaign to counter what it sees as an official anti-car bias ａｎｄ　to improve the environmental image of the cars, according to documents leaked to the pressure group, Friends of the Earth (FOE). The five-year campaign could cost up to ￡12 million.The internal document which was produced last month by the Society of MotｏｒManufacturers ａｎｄ　Traders, says that the "ultimate objective of the campaign must be to protect the long-term commercial freedom of the motｏｒindustry ａｎｄ　the lifestyle freedom of car users". The campaign will highlight the motｏｒindustry\'s efforts to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. European car manufacturers have already agreed with the European Com mission to reduce CO2 emissions from new cars by 25 percent to target of 140 grams per kilometer by 2008. However, the document also reveals that the industry is someway from meeting the target. ____To help control these emissions, the government has proposed replacing the flat rate annual tax on cars with a tax related to engine size so that owners of large gas-guzzler would pay more than owners of small cars. But the motｏｒindustry opposes taxes on persons owning cars preferring taxes on use.Richard Barnet, the society\'s media manager, says: "We will work with the government to practice a practical system. " But Ian Willmore of FOE says the industry “may pose as partners of the government, but its real intention is to frustrate serious attempts to reduce traffic levels”.【单选题】
