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.

2、MemoriesMost episodes of absent-mindedness forgetting where you left something ｏｒwondering why you just entered a room are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter. "You are supposed to remember something, but you haven\'t encoded it deeply."Encoding, Schacter says, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a majｏｒimpact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, fｏｒexample, ａｎｄ　don\'t pay attention to what you did because you are involved in a conversation, you will probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe. "Your memory itself isn\'t failing you," says Schacter. " Rather, you didn\'t give your memory system the information it needed. "Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. "A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago," says Zelinski, "may not remember to ｄｒｅｐa letter in the mailbox. " Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, ａｎｄ　memory relies on just that.Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Sclnacter." ____,"he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table don\'t leave it in the medicine chest ａｎｄ　write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room ａｎｄ　wondering why you are there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. "Everyone does this from time to time," says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, ａｎｄ　you will likely remember.【单选题】

5、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. ____ 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.Then who finances the research? 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】

A.He says there is emerging evidence that children absorb low-level radiation at a rate more than three times that of adults.

B.By the year 2000 it is estimated that Australia will have 10 million mobile phones: nearly one fｏｒevery two people.

C.“If mobile phones are found to be dangerous, they should carry a warning label until proper shields can be devised,”he said.

D.Then who finances the research?

E.Fｏｒexample, Telstra, Optus ａｎｄ　Videophone build their towers where it is geographically suitable to them ａｎｄ　disregard the need of the community.

F.The conclusion is that mobile phones bring more harm than benefit.

正确答案:E

答案解析:第一句说的是，许多微波发射塔建在人口稠密的居民区。选项E的内容涉及微波发射塔的地点选择只考虑地理位置，而不顾及公众的需求。可见，选项E扩展了第一句表达的信息。此外，选项E中出现tower这个词，与第一句的tower相呼应，也佐证了选择的合理性。
