If the shares had risen in value by
26、the same amount that they fell, he would have pocketed $ 20,000 【C4】_Not bad for a fifteen-year-old. It certainly is better than【C5】_the morning newspaper. In another recent case, a boy of fourteen found, in his grandfather“ s house, a suitcase full of foreign banknotes. The clean, crisp banknotes l

The cashiers did not realize that the country in【C8】_had reduced the value of its currency by 90%. They exchanged the notes at th

In three days, before he was found out, he took $200,000 from nine different banks. 【C9】_, he had already spent more than half of this on taxi-rides, restaurant meals, concert tickets and presents for his many new girlfriends(at least he was generous!)bef

32、ce. Without the vast advances made by chemists, physicists, biologists , geologists and other diligent scientists, our standards of living would decline, our flourishing wealthy nation might come to an economic depression, and our people would suffer from diseases that could not be cured. As a socie
33、ty we ignorantly take advantage of the amenities provided by science , yet our lives would be altered interminably without them. Health care, one of the aspects of our society that separates us from our archaic ancestors, is founded exclusively on scientific discoveries and advances. Without the vac
34、cines created by doctors , diseases such as polio, measles, hepatitis, and the flu would pose a threat to our citizens, for although some of these diseases may not be deadly, their side effects can be a vast detriment to an individual affected with the disease. In addition, science has developed per
35、haps the most awe-inspiring vital invention in the history of the world, the computer. Without the presence of this machine our world could exist, but the conveniences brought into life by the computer are unparalleled. Despite the greatness of present-day innovators and scientism and their revelati
36、ons, it is requisite to examine the amenities of science that our culture so blatantly disregards. For instance, the light bulb, electricity, the telephone, running water, and the automobile are present-day staples of our society, however, they were not present until scientists discovered them. Beca
37、use of the contribution of scientists, our world is ever metamorphosing, and this metamorphosis economically and personally comprises our society, whether our society is cognizant of this or not.（分数：10.00）(1).In the first paragraph the author implies that we_.（分数：2.00）A.would not survive without sci
38、enceB.take the amenities of science for grantedC.could have raised the standards of living with scienceD.would be free of disease because of scientific with advances(2).The author uses health care and vaccines to illustrate_.（分数：2.00）A.how science has been developedB.what science means to societyC.w
39、hat the nature of science isD.how disease affects society(3).Nothing, according to the author, can match the invention of the computer in terms of_.（分数：2.00）A.powerB.noveltyC.benefitsD.complexity(4).The author seems to be unhappy about_.（分数：2.00）A.people“ s ignorance of their cultureB.people“ s igno

41、and therapy, in solving food problems, in energy saving, in environmentally compatible industrial and agricultural production, and in specially targeted environmental protection projects. Genetically altered microorganisms can break down a wide range of pollutants by being used, for example, in bio-
42、filters and wastewater-treatment facilities, and in the clean-up of polluted sites. Genetically modified organisms can also alleviate environmental burdens by reducing the need for pesticides, fertilizers, and medications. Sustainability, as a strategic aim, involves optimizing the interactions betw
43、een nature, society, and the economy, in accordance with ecological criteria. Political leaders and scientists alike face the challenge of recognizing interrelationships and interactions between ecological, economic and social factors and taking account of these factors when seeking solution strateg
44、ies. To meet this challenge , decision-makers require interdisciplinary approaches and strategies that cut across political lines. Environmental discussions must become more objective, and this includes, especially, debates about the risks of new technologies, which are often ideologically charged.
45、In light of the complex issues involved in sustainable development, we need clearer standards for orienting and assessing our environmental policies. Sustainable development can succeed only if all areas of the political sector, of society, and of science accept the concept and work together to impl
46、ement it. A common basic understanding of environmental ethics is needed to ensure that protection of the natural foundation of life becomes a major consideration in all political and individual action. A dialogue among representatives of all sectors of society is needed if appropriate environmental
