第3题：
Early in the age of affluence that followed World War II,an American retailing analyst named Victor Lebow proclaimed,
“Our enormously productive economy...demands that we make consumption our way of life,that we convert the buying and
use of Eoods into rituals,that we seek our spiritual satisfaction,our ego satisfaction,in consumption...We need things
consumed,burned up,worn out,replaced and discarded at an ever increasing rate.”
Americans have responded to Lebow’s call,and much of the world has followed.Consumption has become a central pillar of life in industrial lands and is even embedded in social values.
Opinion surveys in the world’s two largest economies-Japan and the United States-show consumerist definitions of
success becoming ever more prevalent.
Overconsumption by the world’s fortunate is an environmental problem unmatched in severity by anything but perhaps
population growth.Their surging exploitation of resources threatens to exhaust or unalterably spoil forests,soils,water,air and climate.
Ironically,high consumption may be a mixed blessing in human terms,too.The time-honored values of integrity of
character,good work,friendship,family and community have often been sacrificed in the rush to riches.Thus many in the
industrial lands have a sense that their world,of plenty is somehow hollow-that,misled by a consumerist culture,they have
been fruitlessly attempting to satisfy what are essentially social,psychological and spiritual needs with material things.
Of course,the opposite of overconsumption-poverty-is no solution to either environmental or human problems.It is infinitely worse for people and bad for the natural world too.Dispossessed peasants slash-and-burn their way into the rain forests of
Latin American,and hungry nomads turn their herds out onto fragile African grassland,reducing it to desert.If environmental
destruction results when people have either too little or too much,we are left to wonder how much is enough.What level of
consumption can the earth support When does having more cease to add noticeably to human satisfaction
According to the passage,consumerist culture________.《》（）A.cannot thrive on a fragile economy
B.will not aggravate environmental problems
C.cannot satisfy human spiritual needs
D.will not alleviate poverty in wealthy countries答案：C解析：本题考查细节。

第10题：
问答题练习15 (1) Whatever its underlying reason, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. (2) This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out necessary buying, excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.正确答案：
(1) 不管有什么内在原因,毫无疑问,只要公司、个人和政府更加努力,很多污染就可以得到控制。
(2) 这不仅导致垃圾问题,而且是一个艰巨的过程,不仅要说服我们当中的许多人买一些既不想要也不需要的东西,而且还要劝说我们扔掉买的很多东西。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Pollution and Ecocrisis The problem of pollution is also of great social concern. Continued population increase, accompanied by a rise in the level of living standards, not only threatens to exhaust American resources but pollutes the environment to such an extent that production in the thickly settled area is impossible without damaging the health of the local residents. Smog, once an urban annoyance, is now recognized as a health risk, and the automobile has been pinpointed as the principal culprit. Heavy industries have been blamed for river, soil, air, noise and visual pollutions. DDT and other chemical remedies have been doing more ecological harm than the good that they may have brought along. Several decades ago, Americans dumped raw sewage into rivers and many industrial plants are now still dumping chemical pollutants into lakes, rivers and oceans. Oceans used to be and are still being considered to be a reserve of seafood. Today, after the oceans have become the home of all pollutants, this use of the oceans is being reduced at an alarming rate. The worst pollution threat is concentrated in and near large cities. There the people-made pollutants increasingly surpass the ability of air and water to dilute (冲淡；稀释) the contaminants (污染物) to safe levels. The natural ecological cycle depends on plants, which absorb some pollutants and release oxygen to the air. But near large cities, natural vegetation becomes scarce, and introduced trees, ornamental shrubs and gardens are far from adequate in absorbing motor vehicle and industrial air pollutants. Finally, some pollutants, most notably atomic waste, may continue to contaminate air, land, and water for thousands of years. Therefore, ecocrisis—ecocatastrophe or ecocide—has been for some time one of the major concerns of not only the ecoactivists and environmentalists, but of many scientists of other fields and the government authorities of many countries as well. Last but not least, there is the question of whether the people will eventually be able to solve all these problems. The American continent is a wealthy land inhabited by many able and well- educated people. There today, people have originated a life-style which is known to the world as being characteristic of a society of consumption—a life-style based on the prodigal (挥霍浪费的) use of material goods. They are using up many times their share of the earth’s resources at a rate unparalleled in history. And I am sorry to say that this life-style of American has been copied by the people of many developed countries, leading to the greatest problem of the modem world as a whole. So I must ask: Are the Americans apt enough to cooperate with other peoples to prevent over-population, resource exhaustion, the catastrophe of pollution and the wanton waste of wealth — problems which are basic to the solution of many outstanding economic, social and political problems? Only time will tell.正确答案： 【参考译文】
污染和生态危机 污染问题也受到了社会的极大关注。生活水平在提高,人口在持续增长,这不仅预示着美国资源面临枯竭,而且污染环境到了极严重的地步:人口密集区的工业生产与当地居民的健康已成为不可调和的矛盾。
烟雾,原先不过是居民的一件烦恼事,现在被公认为危害健康的大敌。汽车已被指控为损害健康的罪魁祸首。重工业因污染河流、土壤、空气、产生噪音和妨碍人们的视觉而备受指责。DDT及其他化学药剂对生态的影响是弊大于利。
几十年前,美国人把未经处理的污水倒入河流,而许多工厂如今仍在把化学污染物倒入湖泊、江河和海洋。人们一向认为海洋是海产品的宝库。今天,海洋已成为一切污染物的集中地之后,海产品正以惊人速度缩减。
大城市及其周边是污染最严重的地方。在那里,人为污染物的扩散超过了空气和水将污染物分解稀释到安全水平的能力。自然界生态循环依赖于植物;植物吸收一些污染物,把氧气释放到空气中。但邻近大城市的地区,天然植被日见稀少,而移植的树木、观赏灌木及花园又远不足以吸收机动车辆和工业带来的空气污染物。最后,有些污染物,尤其是臭名昭彰的原子能废料,可能会继续污染空气、土地和水达几千年之久。因此,生态危机——也称为生态灾难或生态灭绝——一段时期以来不仅是生态活动家和环保主义者关注的主要问题,而且引起了其他领域许多科学家和许多国家的政府当局的重视。
最后,人们最终是否能解决所有这些问题? 美国大陆是一块富饶的土地,居住着许多能干的、受过良好教育的人。今天,在那里人们开创了一种以消费社会为特色而闻名全球的生活方式,即一种挥霍物质财富为基础的生活方式。美国人正以史无前例的速度耗费着超过他们份内不知多少倍的地球资源。我遗憾地说,美国人的这种生活方式,已被许多发达国家的人民所仿效,导致了当前整个世界的最严重的问题。
因此我不得不问:
美国人是否善于与别国人民合作来防止人口过剩、资源枯竭、污染灾难和恣意浪费人类财富的行为? 这一系列问题正是解决许多突出的经济、社会和政治问题的基础。我们将拭目以待。解析： 暂无解析 -

Text 3
Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, public services and transport (excluding vehicles, ships and planes) increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to the transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16%～17% investment growth, including a 30% increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimated to have risen by 8%. Although the share of agriculture in total gross in vestment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew 9% in absolute terms, largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of new taxes and limitation of building.
Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1964, and per capital personal consumption by under 7% ,as in 1963. The undesirable trend towards a rapid rise in consumption, evident in previous years, remained unaltered. Since at current prices consumption rose by 16% and disposable income by 13% ,there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food declined in significance, although consumption of fruit increased.
Spending on furniture and household equipment, health, education and recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of expenditure on transport (including private cars) and personal services of all kinds, which occurred during 1964. The progressive wealth of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the changing composition of durable goods purchased. Saturation point was rapidly being approached for items such as the first household radio, gas cookers, and electric, refrigerators, whereas increasing purchases of automobiles and television sets were registered.
31. the author thinks that the trend towards a rapid rise in consumption was "undesirable" because ______.
A) people saved less
B) people were wealthy
C) people consumed less
D) expenditures on luxuries increased
正确答案：A
答案：A

第21题：
问答题Resource efficiency means reducing the environmental impact of the consumption and production of goods and services. The doing more with less slogan indicates the focus on more outputs with fewer impacts. Efficiency gains do not guarantee that the overall outcome stays within the ecological carrying capacity of the Earth. Influencing the demand side is therefore another prerequisite for sustainable development.It is indeed timely to recognize that the world cannot achieve sustainable, economic growth with old fashioned consumption and production patterns. Companies will have to accelerate the trends of polluting less and of designing, producing and marketing better products and services. Consumers have to get used to the fact that environmental concerns are as important in their daily choices as considerations of price, convenience and quality. And governments and civil society have a key role to play in inspiring such a process.正确答案：
资源增效指的是减少商品和服务生产过程及消费过程对环境产生的影响。“用更少创造更多”这一口号表明其重心在于用较少的影响来创造更多的产出。生产效率的提高并不能保证整体结果能维持在地球的生态承受力范围之内。因此,对需求方的影响成为了可持续发展的另一先决条件。
我们现在确实迫切需要意识到传统的消费生产模式是无法实现经济的可持续发展的。公司需要加快减污减排的脚步,敦促自身去设计、生产和经营更好的产品和服务。消费者也要接受这一事实——在日常购物时,对环境的影响、商品价格、便利度和产品品质都应被纳入考虑范围内,作为进行选择的参考条件。此外,政府和民间团体也需在推进上述进程中发挥关键性作用。解析： 暂无解析 -
