25、ine through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.Pursuing a career is an essential part of adolescent development. The adolescent becomes an adult when he 26 a real job. To cognitive researchers like Piaget, adu

26、lthood meant the beginning of an 27 .Piaget argued that once adolescents enter the world of work, their newly acquired ability to form hypoth-eses allows them to create representations that are too ideal. The 28 of such ideals, without the tempering of the reality of a job or profession, rapidly lea

27、ds adolescents to become 29 of the non-idealistic world and to press for reform in a characteristically adolescent way. Piaget said: True adaptation to society comes 30 when the adolescent reformer attempts to put his ideas to work.Of course, youthful idealism is often courageous, and no one likes t

28、o give up dreams. Perhaps, taken 31 out of context, 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 vocation is one of the best ways to modify ide

29、alized views and to mature.As careers and vocations become less available during times of 33 , adolescents may be especially hard hit. Such difficult economic times may leave many adolescents 34 about their roles in society. For this reason, community interventions and government job programs that o

30、ffer summer and vacation work are not only economically 35 but also help to stimulate the adolescents sense of worth.A) AutomaticallyB) BeneficialC) CapturingD) ConfusedE) EmphasizingF) EntranceG) ExcitedH) ExistenceI) IncidentallyJ) IntolerantK) OccupationL) PromisesM) RecessionN) SlightlyO) Undert

31、akesSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains 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 paragraph is

32、 marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer 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 worlds people enhancednot just in this generation but in succeeding

33、 generationswe must make sure we take care of the natural environment and resources on which our economic activity depends. That statement comes not, as you might imagine, from a stereotypical tree-hugging, save-the-world greenie (环保主义者)，but from Gordon Brown, a politician with a reputation for rigo

34、ur, thoroughness 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 his speech, given in March at the round table mee

35、ting of environment 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 isa major issue which affects the wellbeing of peoples and economic developm

36、ent throughout the world, read the final declaration from this gathering, the first of a sequence which would lead to the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992 and the World Development Summit in Johannesburg three years ago.D Hunt through the reports prepared by UN agencies and development groups一man

37、y for conferences such as this years Millennium Goals reviewand you will find that the linkage between environmental protection and economic progress is a common thread.E Managing ecosystems sustainably is more profitable than exploiting them, according to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. But fi

38、nding hard evidence to support the thesis is not so easy. Thoughts turn first to some sort of global statistic, some indicator which would rate the wealth of nations in both economic and environmental terms and show a relationship between the two.F If such an indicator exists, it is well hidden. And

39、 on reflection, this is not surprising; the single word environment has so many dimensions, and there are so many other factors affecting wealthsuch as the oil depositsthat teasing out a simple economy-environment relationship would be almost impossible.G The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, a vast

40、four-year global study which reported its initial conclusions earlier this year, found reasons to believe that managing ecosystem sustainablyworking with nature rather than aganist itmight be less profitable in the short term, but certainly brings long-term rewards.H And the World Resource Institute

41、 (WRI) in its World Resource 2005 report, issued at the end of August, produced several such examples from Africa and Asia; it also demonstrated that environmental degradation affects the poor more than the rich, as poorer people derive a much higher proportion of their income directly from the natu

42、ral resources around them.I But there are also many examples of growing wealth by trashing the environment, in rich and poor parts of the world alike, whether through unregulated mineral extraction, drastic water use for agriculture, slash-and-bum farming, or fossil-fuel-guzzling (大量消耗)transport. Of

43、 course, such growth may not persist in the long term一which is what Mr. Brown and the Stockholm declaration were both attempting to point out. Perhaps the best example of boom growth and bust decline is the Grand Banks fishery. For almost five centuries a very large supply of cod (绣鱼)provided abunda

44、nt raw material for an industry which at its peak employed about 40,000 people, sustaining entire communities in Newfoundland. Then, abruptly, the cod population collapsed. There were no longer enough fish in the sea for the stock to maintain itself； let alone an industry. More than a decade later,

45、there was no sign of the ecosystem rebuilding itself. It had, apparently, been fished out of existence; and the once mighty Newfoundland fleet now gropes about frantically for crab on the sea floor.J There is a view that modem humans are inevitably sowing the seeds of a global Grand Banks-style disa

46、ster. The idea is that we are taking more out of what you might call the planets environmental bank balance than it can sustain; 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 usin

47、g 1.2 Earths-worth of environmental goods and servicesthe implication being that at some point the debt will be called in, and all those services一the tings which the planet does for us for freewill grind to a halt.KWhether this is right, and if so where and when the ecological axe will fall, is hard

48、 to determine with any precisionwhich is why governments and financial institutions are only beginning to bring such risks into their economic calculations. It is also the reason why development agencies are not united in their view of environmental issues; while some, like the WRI, maintain that environmental progress needs to go hand-in-hand with economic development, others argue that the
