第2题:Brazil has become one of the developing world’s great successes at reducing population growth—but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates,Brazil has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at HarvarD、 Brazil’s population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, andBrazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries. Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas (通俗电视连续剧) and instalment (分期付款) plans introduced in the 1970s.Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate.Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas. Globo,Brazil’s most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities. "Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working," says Martine. "They sent this image to all parts ofBrazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package. " Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers. "This led to an enormous change in consumption patterns and consumption was incompatible (不相容的) with unlimited reproduction. " says Martine. What is Martine’s conclusion aboutBrazil’s population growthA.The increase in birth rate will promote consumption. B.The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate. Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory. D.A、country’s production is limited by its population growt |

Interior designers have become important partly because of the many functions that might be (61) in a single large building. The importance of interior design becomes (62) when we realize how much time we (63) surrounded by four walls. Whenever we need to be indoors, we want our surroundings to be (64) attractive and comfortable as possible. We also expect (65) place to be appropriate to its use. You would be (66) if the inside of your bedroom were suddenly changed to look (67) the inside of a restaurant.And you wouldn’t feel (68) in a business office that has the appearance of a school. It soon becomes clear that the interior designer’s most important (69) is the function of the particular (70) . For example, a theater with poor sight lines, poor sound-shaping qualities, and (71) few entries and exits will not work for (72) purpose, no matter how beautifully it might be (73) .

第4题:Most people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom.But agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define "wisdom" and consider means of promoting it. There are several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for example, that you are engaged in research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your minD、You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed (let us say) as modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death-rate, not only inEurope andAmerica, but also inAsia andAfricA、This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply inadequate and lowing the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations. To take an even more dramatic example, which is in everybody’s mind at the present time, you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested (无利害关系的) desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race. Therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase augments (增强) our capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity for evil, if our purposes are unwise. Disagreement arises when people try to decide ______ .A.how much more wisdom we have now than before B.what wisdom is and how to develop it C.if there is a great increase of wisdom in our age D.whether wisdom can be developed or not |
