26、填空项 1:_五、BSection Readi(总题数：3，分数：15.00)BTEXT 1/BToday, some critics argue that progress on environmental problems has been elusive. There is some truth in that. In the last decade, environmental problems have mounted across the world.Yet over the same 10 years, society had marshaled its resources to

27、 address these challenges. The original response was slow. But it is gathering speed, with technological breakthroughs and a growing awareness that a clean environment is essential for development.Of course, we should greatly intensify efforts to tackle poverty and environmental degradation.

31、ovoltaic technology now provide power to more than a million rural households.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has helped to launch the globa

33、l alliance for improved nutrition, an innovative public-private partnership that seeks to fortify food in a cost-effective way to improve the health, cognitive development and productivity of people in poor countries.One of the linchpins of these innovative, cooperative efforts is the Global Environ

It had provided $ 4.2 billion in grants and lever- aged $

35、12 billion in additional financing.

41、ger this year. States are passing along their budget woes to public university students and their families.

42、public schools has leapt by 24% in Massachusetts, 20% in Texas and 7% nationally since the 2001-2002 school year. New York had the smallest increase, 0nly 2%. But proposed tuition increases of 35% or more at the State University of New York and the City University of New York would put New York in t

But higher education is vulnerable to budgets cuts-and tuition increase-because lawmakers tend to see it as discretionary: No on

45、e has to go to college, after all.Colleges and universities “have clients they can charge,“ says the National Centers president, Patrick M. Callan. “Tuition is the easiest money to get,“ he adds.The rising cost of public education, and the fear that it is financially squeezing some students out of a

46、g education, have prompted some state universities to adopt a practice long used by private schools to attract students: tuition discounting. In tuition discounting colleges turn around a share of the tuition paid by some students, and use it to pay for scholarships for others. Private colleges typi

47、cally return $ 35 to $ 45 in scholarships for every $100 they collect in tuition revenue. But until recently, states have viewed discounting as politically unpopular.The increasing cost of a college education is beginning to attract the attention of lawmakers, especially Congress, which already has begun hearings on college costs.
