24、ns that is coming into focus as we face growing scarcity of resources of many kinds in the world is how to divide limited resources among countries. In the international development community, the conventional wisdom has been that the 2 billion people living in poor countries could never expect to r
25、each the standard of living that most of us in North America enjoy, simply because the world does not contain enough iron ore, protein, petroleum, and so on. At the same time, we in the United States have continued to pursue super affluence as though there were no limits on how much we could consume
26、. We make up 6 percent of the worlds people; yet we consume one-third of the worlds resources.As long as the resources we consumed each year came primarily from within our own boundaries, this was largely an internal matter. But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, “outsiders“
27、 are going to have some say over the rate at which and terms under which we consume. We will no longer be able to think in terms of “our“ resources and “their“ resources, but only of common resources.As Americans consuming such a disproportionate share of the worlds resources, we have to question wh
28、ether or not we can continue our pursuit of super affluence in a world of scarcity. We are now reaching the point where we must carefully examine the presumed link between our level of well-being and the level of material goods consumed. If you have only one crust of bread and get another crust of b
29、read, your well-being is greatly enhanced. But if you have a loaf of bread, then an additional crust of bread doesnt make that much difference. In the eyes of most of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still more. People elsewhere are beginning to ask why. This is
30、 the question were going to have to answer, whether were trying to persuade countries to step up their exports of oil to us or trying to convince them that we ought to be permitted to maintain our share of the world fish catch.The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition for, the worlds resources
31、requires that we reexamine the way in which we relate to the rest of the world. It means we find ways of cutting back on resource consumption that is dependent on the resources and cooperation of other countries. We cannot expect people in these countries to concern themselves with our worsening ene
32、rgy and food shortages unless we demonstrate some concern for the hunger, illiteracy and disease that are diminishing life for them.（分数：10.00）(1).The writer warns Americans that _. A. their excessive consumption has caused world resource exhaustionB. they are confronted with the problem of how to ob
33、tain more material goodsC. their unfair share of the worlds resources should give way to proper division among countriesD. they have to discard their cars for lack of fossil fuel in the world（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, it has long been believed that _.A. people in poor countries s
34、carcely know how to enjoy a high standard of livingB. the worlds resources being limited, people in underdeveloped countries are bound to live a poor lifeC. most Americans know that the worlds resources of many kinds are becoming scarceD. it is impossible for all the people in the world to improve t
35、heir living standards（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).By “common resources“ (Paragraph 2), the author means that _.A. the resources possessed by the United States should be shared by other countriesB. Americans have the right to consume resources both from their home country and from abroadC. it is difficult to
36、 distinguish the resources possessed by America from those possessed by other countriesD. all the resources in the world should be shared by all the countries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The writer gives the example of bread to show that _.A. the United States has been much richer than any other countriesB.
37、 the United States has acquired more than what it has contributedC. the United States has been too greedy in its pursuit of super affluenceD. the United States is more capable of pursuing affluence than other countries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).What is the conclusion of this passage?A. The United States w
38、ill be isolated if it does not stop pursuing super affluence.B. The poor countries will no longer supply the United States with their goods.C. The United States should care about the well-being of other countries.D. It is time for the Americans to help the people in poor countries to improve their l
39、iving standards.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Male chauvinism-the attitude that women are the passive and inferior servants of society and of men-sets women apart from the rest of the working class. Even when they do the same work as men, women are not considered workers in the same
40、sense, with the need and right to work to provide for their families or to support themselves independently. They are expected to accept work at lower wages and without job security. Thus they can be used as a marginal or reserve labor force when profits depend on extra low costs or when men are nee
41、ded for war.Women are not supposed to be independent, so they are not supposed to have any “right to work“. This means, in effect, that although they do work, they are denied the right to organize and fight for better wages and conditions. Thus the role of women in the labor force undermines the str
42、uggles of male workers as well. The boss can break a union drive by threatening to hire lower paid women or blacks. In many cases, where women are organized, the union contract reinforces their inferior position, making women the least loyal and militant union members. (Standard Oil workers in San F
43、rancisco recently paid the price of male supremacy. Women at Standard Oil have the least chance for advancement and decent pay, and the union has done little to fight this. Not surprisingly, women formed the core of the back to work move that eventually broke the strike.)In general, because women ar
44、e defined as docile, helpless, and inferior, they are forced into the most demeaning and mind rotting jobs-from scrubbing floors to filing cards-under the most oppressive conditions where they are treated like children or slaves. Their very position reinforces the idea, even among the women themselv
45、es, that they are fit for and should be satisfied with this kind of work.Apart from the direct, material exploitation of women, male supremacy acts in more subtle ways to undermine class consciousness. The tendency of male workers to think of themselves primarily as men (i.e., powerful) rather than
46、as workers (i. e., members of an oppressed group) promotes a false sense of privilege and power, and an identification with the world of men, including the boss. The petty dictatorship which most men exercise over their wives and families enables them to vent their anger and frustration in a way whi
47、ch poses no challenge to the system. The role of the man in the family reinforces aggressive individualism, authoritarianism, and a hierarchical view of social relations-values which are fundamental to the perpetuation (不朽) of capitalism. In this system we are taught to relieve our fears and frustra
48、tions by brutalizing those weaker than we are: a man in uniform turns into a pig; the foreman intimidates the man on the line; the husband beats his wife, child, and dog.（分数：10.00）(1).Unfair working status of women also produces negative effects on men in that _.A. men face the threat of being repla
49、ced by low wage womenB. men have to deal with womens complaints all the timeC. womens low income often irritate their husbandsD. womens inferior working condition worries their husbands（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The failure of the strike of Standard Oil workers shows that _.A. when women are involved, strikes are bound to failB. passive women involvement in strikes makes success unlikelyC. women are not often firm enough in organized strikesD. mos
