26、te-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or inte
27、rest in life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.Those higher up on the social ladder axe no less anxious. Their lives axe no less empty than those of their subordinat
28、es. They axe even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submis
29、siveness and independence.

30、ellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise“ capitalism? Certainly not. Problems axe never solved by returning to a stage which
31、 one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption axe ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialitiesthose of love and of reason-are th
32、e aims of all social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.（分数：10.00）(1).By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery“ the author intends to render the idea that man is _.

A. who are at the bottom of the society B. who axe higher up in their social status C. who prove better that their fellow-competitors D. who could keep far away from this competitive world（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).To solve the present so
36、cial problems the author suggests that we should _. A. resort to the production mode of our ancestors B. offer higher wages to the workers and employees C. enable man to fully develop his potentialities D. take the fundamental realities for granted（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The authors attitude towards in
37、dustrialism might best be summarized as one of _. A. approval B. dissatisfaction C. suspicion D. tolerance（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.The farm is a major marketplace for millions of tons of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and for advanced machinery and the fuel required to run it. The modern superfarm, l
38、arge and highly capitalized, is resource dependent compared with the diversified small farms that were once dominant. On diversified farms, major energy needs may be supplied by resident humans and animals. Soil fertility may be maintained by alternating cash crops and restorative crops, and also by
39、 returning animal manure to the soil. This fanning model of relatively self-sufficient agriculture, and the way of life associated with it, are still economically viable, as demonstrated by prosperous Amish farmers and other practitioners of “alternative“ agriculture. Particularly relevant to todays
40、 mainstream agriculture are the energy-saving practices on large “organic“ farms, which are thoroughly mechanized but which minimize the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.By comparison, mainstream American agriculture has until lately been careless in its use of energy, water, and land. Wh
41、en fossil energy was cheap, applications of fertilizers and pesticides paid large dividends, so farmers were encouraged to use these products. Soon most farmers used too much fertilizer and pesticide. Farmers in dry regions enjoyed an era of cheap water, obtained from publicly subsidized irrigation
42、systems or from pumping groundwater using inexpensive energy. The soil too was expendable as demand grew for U.S. agricultural products.The period of extraordinary profligacy in the use of soil, water, and fossil fuels may well be at an end. The new structure of large farms is quite sensitive to cos
43、t factors. These adaptive farms, whose development was assisted by public tax, subsidy and research policies, have access to capital, technologies, and management skills, enabling them to switch relatively quickly to resource-conserving practicesfor example, to low-tillage system that requires less
44、fuel, that shepherds soil moisture, and that may reduce soil erosion. It seems likely that federal programs that have enlarged our farms, therefore, have had a further result of creating the potential for a more conserving agriculture. With respect to energy use. for example, energy costs per unit o
45、f output are lower for large farms, mainly because these farms quickly economized on energy as costs rose. In the future, according to one authoritative assessment, “agricultural production is likely to use capital and land more intensively but energy, fertilizer and labor less intensively“.（分数：10.0

A. their sizes B. the machinery employed C. the degree of dependence on resources D. the kinds of crops cultivated and animals raised（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The second paragraph focuses on the fact that _. A. fossil energy was once very cheap B. farm in dry areas could get cheap water C. most American farmers used too much fertilizer and pesticide D. mainstream American agriculture used to be wasteful of energy, water and land（分数：2
