二、阅读理解

Passage 1

There is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable. （有很多讨论关于经济增长是否是可取的。）At an earlier period, our desire for material wealth may have been justified. Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems. Even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast. （在较早时期，我们对物质财富的渴望也许是有道理的。现在，然而，这种欲望比我们更需要的是造成严重的问题。尽管我们有良好的意愿，我们可能会产生太多，太快。）

Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the world’s population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will decrease.（那些持反对意见者认为我们必须慢下来。他们认为，社会发展已接近某种极限。这其中包括有限的自然资源供应，可能产生的负面影响，工业对自然环境，并不断增加的世界人口。随着社会的达到这些，经济增长不能再继续下去，和生活质量下降。）

People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even

at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. These proponents of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world. Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization.（人们谁想要更多的经济增长，另一方面，认为即使在目前的增长率仍有许多穷人在世界。这些支持者认为，只有经济增长更多的增长才能创造资本需要提高生活质量在世界。此外，他们认为只有持续增长，可以提供所需要的财政资源，保护我们的自然环境产业化。）

This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry, if those who argue against economic growth are correct, the problems they mention cannot be ignored. To find a solution, economists and the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another.（这一辩论的可取的经济持续增长，是重要的商业和工业，如果反对经济增长是正确的，他们所提及的问题不容忽视。找到一个解决方案，经济学家和企业界必须关注这些问题，并继续相互讨论。）

1. According to those who argue against economic growth we must slow down for the following reasons EXCEPT that D. more efforts should be made to improve the quality of our material life根据那些反对经济增长，我们必须慢下来的原因除了D更应作出努力，提高我们的物质生活

2. Those who want more economic growth believe that continued economic growth B. is essential to the well-being of society as a whole那些谁想要更多的经济增长，经济持续增长，是必不可少的整个社会福祉

3. We may infer from the context that “proponents” (Para. 3) most probably meansC. people who argue for something我们可以从上下文推断，“支持者”（第。3）最有可能meansc。那些主张的东西

4. The passage is mainly about A. the present debate on economic growth这篇文章主要是关于一本讨论经济增长

5. We may infer from the passage that C. the author describes the case as it is我们可以从文章中，作者描述了C如此

Passage 2

Not unlike drugs or alcohol, the television experience allows the participant to blot out the real world and enter into a pleasurable and possible mental state. The worries and anxieties of reality are as effectively put off by becoming absorbed in a television program as by going on a “trip” caused by drugs or alcohol. And just as alcoholics are only imperfectly aware of their addiction, feeling that they control their drinking more than they really do (“I can cut it out any time I want – I just like to have three or four drinks before dinner”), people similarly overestimate their control over television watching. Even as they put off other activities to spend hour after hour watching television, they feel they could easily resume living in a different, less passive style. But somehow or other, while the television set is present in their homes, the click doesn’t sound. With television pleasures available, those other experience seem less attractive, more difficult somehow.（不同于药物或酒精，看电视的体验会让参与者抹去了真实的世界而进入到一个快乐的和可能

的精神状态。烦恼和焦虑的现实被有效地推迟成为电视节目吸引作为进行的“行”所造成的药物或酒精。正如酗酒者都只是模糊地意识到自己的癖好，感到他们控制自己的饮酒超过他们真的（“我可以把它从我想任何时候–我只喜欢有三或四个饮料在晚餐”），人们同样会高估自己的控制看电视。即使他们提出了其他活动，花数小时看电视的时候，他们觉得他们可以很容易地恢复生活在一个不同的，那么被动的风格。但不知何故，而电视机目前在他们的家园，点击不健全。与现有电视的乐趣，那些其他的经验似乎不那么有吸引力，更困难一些。）

A heavy viewer (a college English instructor) observes: “I find television almost irresistible. When the set is on, I can’t ignore it, I can’t turn if off. I feel sapped, will-less, and weakened. As I reach out to turn off the set, the strength goes out of my arms. So I sit there for hours and hours.”（ 一个沉重的观众（大学英语讲师）表示：“我觉得电视几乎不可抗拒的。当集，我不能忽视它，我不能转了。我感觉到了，不自觉的，虚弱的。当我伸手去关电视的力量，走出我的怀里。所以我坐在那里好几个小时。”）

1. The author compares being wrapped up in TV to B a drug or alcohol “trip” 作者比较被包裹在电视的吸毒或酗酒的“旅行”

2. People tend to C overestimate their control over the set人们往往高估他们控制的设置丙型

3. It can be inferred that for some people, television provides them with C the greatest pleasure可以推断，对某些人来说，电视提供了他们的最大的乐趣

4. The case of the instructor shows that A some people cannot resist the temptation of television如果教师表明，有些人无法抗拒的诱惑电视 5. The author implies that watching television is A addictive作者暗示，看电视是一种上瘾 Passage 3

Business action taken today must be based on yesterday’s plan and tomorrow’s expectations. Plans for the future cannot be made without forecasting events and their relationships. And not only may forecasting be made for a given type of activity independently, the forecast of one type of event may also be based on other forecasts. Thus, the estimate of population growth for the next decade is an element in the forecast of future demand for steel which, in turn, is’ the basis for plans for expanding plant capacities. Similarly, forecasts of national income are used by the Government to estimate its future revenue (国家的收入、税收) and by industries to predict their national market de­mand. Of course, an individual firm can base its forecast of sales on the forecasts of sales for the whole industry.（企业所采取的行动今天必须基于昨天的计划和明天的期望。未来计划不能没有预测事件关系。不仅可以预测作出一个给定类型的活动，预测的一个事件类型也可以根据其他的预测。因此，估计人口成长为下一个十年是一个因素在预测未来的钢铁需求，反过来，是根据计划扩大生产能力。同样，预测国民收入是用以估算未来收入（国家的收入、税收）和行业预测其国家市场的曼德。当然，个别公司能根据其销售预测的销售预测为整个行业。）

While management has long recognized the importance of business forecasting in decisions and action, the activity itself has remained an inexact science, and those who recall the predic­tions of “prosperity just around the corner” in 1930, or the forecasts by Government for the spring of 1946, may dispute the assertion (断言) that it is a science at all. But despite such doubts, fore­casting must be done. The question is not “Forecast or no forecast?” but rather, “What kind of forecast?” Moreover, for management the value of a forecast is not merely its relative accuracy, but the fact that making it requires a balanced consideration of all ascertainable factors influen­cing future developments.( 而管理长期以来一直承认的重要性，业务预测决策和行动，活动本身仍然是一个不精确的科学，和那些谁记得的预测的“繁荣指日可待”1930，或预测，1946年的春天，可能的争端的断言（断言），它是一个在所有的科学。但是，尽管这样的怀疑，铸造前必须做的。问题不在于“没有预测或预测？“但是，”是什么样的吗？此外，管理价值的一个预测的不仅仅是其相对的准确性，但事实上，这需要一个平衡的考虑所有确定的因素，影响的未来发展。)

The fact that the past can never be a perfect guide to the future warns us that forecasting should not be thought of as a routine application of some techniques or theoretical ideas to a list of unchanging variables. Successful forecasting requires expert mixing of economic theory and tho­rough familiarity with the relevant statistical data. It should use both quantitative and qualitative information. The forecaster must have the ability to distinguish between new facts that are im­portant and those that are not. He must be competent to judge under what conditions past relationships can be relied upon and when they cannot. He must be able to understand the effects of non-measurable socioeconomic and political

forces upon business activities. （事实上，过去将永远是一个完美的引导未来警告我们，预测不应被认为是常规应用的一些技术或理论观点不变的变量列表。成功的预测需要专家的混合经济理论与思想粗糙熟悉相关统计数据。它应该使用定量和定性信息。预言者必须有能力区分新的事实，我和那些不重要。他必须能判断在什么条件下可以依靠过去的关系，当他们不能。他必须能够理解的影响，不可测量的社会经济和政治势力对业务活动。）

1. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Yesterday’s plan and tomorrow’s expectations both affect business action taken today. 根据文章，下列哪项是正确的？A .昨天的计划，明天的期望都会影响企业采取行动今天。
