23、 III Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)Section ADirections:In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blankfrom a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before makingyour choices.Each choice in
24、 the bank is identified by a letter.Please mark the corresponding letter for each item onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Pursuing a career is an essential part of adolescent development.“The adolescent becomes an adult
25、when he 26 areal job.”To cognitive researchers like Piaget,adulthood meant the beginning of an 27.Piaget argued that once adolescents enter the world of work,their newly acquired ability to form hypothesesallows them to create representations that are too ideal.The 28 of such ideals,without the temp
26、ering of the reality ofa job or profession,rapidly leads adolescents to become 29 of the non-idealistic world and to press for reform in acharacteristically adolescent way.Piaget said:“True adaptation to society comes 30 when the adolescent reformerattempts to put his ideas to work.”Of course,youthf
27、ul idealism is often courageous,and no one likes to give up dreams.Perhaps,taken 31 out ofcontext,Piagets statement seems harsh.What he was 32,however,is the way reality can modify idealistic views.Some people refer to such modification as maturity.Piaget argued that attaining and accepting a vocati
28、on is one of thebest ways to modify idealized views and to mature.As careers and vocations become less available during times of 33,adolescents may be especially hard hit.Suchdifficult economic times may leave many adolescents 34 about their roles in society.For this reason,communityinterventions an

30、slightlyO)undertakesSection BDirections:In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statementcontains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each par
31、agraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions bymarking the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2.Can Societies Be Rich and Green?A“If our economies are to flourish,if global poverty is to be eliminated and if the well-being of the worldspeople enhancednot just in this generation but in succee
32、ding generationswe must make sure we take care of thenatural environment and resources on which our economic activity depends.”That statement comes not,as you mightimagine,from a stereotypical tree-hugging,save-the-world greenie(环保主义者),but from Gordon Brown,apolitician with a reputation for rigor,th
33、oroughness and above all,caution.B A surprising thing for the man who runs one of the worlds most powerful economies to say?Perhaps;though in the run-up to the five-year review of the Millennium(千年的)Goals,he is far from alone.The roots of hisspeech,given in March at the roundtable meeting of environ
34、ment and energy ministers from the G20 group of nations,stretch back to 1972,and the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm.C“The protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue which affects the well-being ofpeoples and economic development throughout t
35、he world,”read the final declaration from this gathering,the first of asequence which would lead to the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992 and the World Development Summit inJohannesburg three years ago.D Hunt through the reports prepared by UN agencies and development groupsmany for conferences su
36、ch asthis years Millennium Goals reviewand you will find that the linkage between environmental protection andeconomic progress is a common thread.E Managing ecosystems sustainably is more profitable than exploiting them,according to the MillenniumEcosystem Assessment.But finding hard evidence to su
37、pport the thesis is not so easy.Thoughts turn first to some sortof global statistic,some indicator which would rate the wealth of nations in both economic and environmental termsand show a relationship between the two.F If such an indicator exists,it is well hidden.And on reflection,this is not surp
38、rising;the single word“environment”has so many dimensions,and there are so many other factors affecting wealthsuch as the oildepositsthat teasing out a simple economy-environment relationship would be almost impossible.G The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment,a vast four-year global study which reporte
39、d its initial conclusionsearlier this year,found reasons to believe that managing ecosystems sustainablyworking with nature rather thanagainst itmight be less profitable in the short term,but certainly brings long-term rewards.H And the World Resources Institute(WRI)in its World Resources 2005 repor
40、t,issued at the end of August,produced several such examples from Africa and Asia;it also demonstrated that environmental degradation affectsthe poor more than the rich,as poorer people derive a much higher proportion of their income directly from thenatural resources around them.I But there are als
41、o many examples of growing wealth by trashing the environment,in rich and poor parts of 6the world alike,whether through unregulated mineral extraction,drastic water use for agriculture,slash-and-burnfarming,or fossil-fuel-guzzling(大量消耗)transport.Of course,such growth may not persist in the long ter
42、mwhich is what Mr.Brown and the Stockholm declaration were both attempting to point out.Perhaps the best exampleof boom growth and bust decline is the Grand Banks fishery.For almost five centuries a very large supply of cod(鳕鱼)provided abundant raw material for an industry which at its peak employed
43、 about 40,000 people,sustainingentire communities in Newfoundland.Then,abruptly,the cod population collapsed.There were no longer enough fishin the sea for the stock to maintain itself,let alone an industry.More than a decade later,there was no sign of theecosystem re-building itself.It had,apparent
44、ly,been fished out of existence;and the once mighty Newfoundland fleetnow gropes about frantically for crab on the sea floor.J There is a view that modern humans are inevitably sowing the seeds of a global Grand Banks-style disaster.The idea is that we are taking more out of what you might call the
45、planets environmental bank balance than it cansustain;we are living beyond our ecological means.One recent study attempted to calculate the extent of this“ecological overshoot of the human economy,”and found that we are using 1.2 Earths-worth of environmentalgoods and servicesthe implication being t
46、hat at some point the debt will be called in,and all those servicesthethings which the planet does for us for freewill grind to a halt.K Whether this is right,and if so where and when the ecological axe will fall,is hard to determine with anyprecisionwhich is why governments and financial institutio
47、ns are only beginning to bring such risks into theireconomic calculations.It is also the reason why development agencies are not united in their view of environmentalissues;while some,like the WRI,maintain that environmental progress needs to go hand-in-hand with economicdevelopment,others argue tha
48、t the priority is to build a thriving economy,and then use the wealth created to tackleenvironmental degradation.L This view assumes that rich societies will invest in environmental care.But is this right?Do things get betteror worse as we get richer?Here the Stockholm declaration is ambiguous.“In t
49、he developing countries,”it says,“mostof the environmental problems are caused by under-development.”So it is saying that economic development shouldmake for a cleaner world?Not necessarily;“In the industralized countries,environmental problems are generallyrelated to industrialization and technolog
50、ical development,”it continues.In other words,poor and rich bothover-exploit the natural world,but for different reasons.Its simply not true that economic growth will surely makeour world cleaner.M Clearly,richer societies are able to provide environmental improvements which lie well beyond the reac
