Government activities may have damaged
environmental impacts. A whole range of policies, from farm- price support to
protection for coal-mining, do environmental damage and often make no economic
sense. For example, more intensive farming tends to worsen soil erosion, which
threatens the productivity of land in both rich and poor countries. The United
States, where the most careful measurements have been done, discovered in 1982
that about one-fifth of its farmland was losing topsoil at a rate likely .to
diminish the soil’ s productivity. Government policies have
frequently added to the environmental damage that farming can cause. In the rich
countries, subsidies for growing crops and price supports for farm output drive
up the price of land. To in- crease the output of crops per acre, a farmer’s
A. reduced the productivity of farmland by 20 percent B. was almost as severe as in India and China C. was causing significant damage to 20 percent of farmland D. could be reduced by converting cultivated land to meadow or forest

[单项选择] TEXT B The idea that government should regulate intellectual property through copyrights and patents is relatively recent in human history, and the precise details of what intellectual property is protected for how long vary across nations and occasionally change. There are two standard sociological justifications for patents or copyrights: they reward creators for their labor, and they encourage greater creativity. Both of these are empirical claims that can be tested scientifically and could be false in some realms. Consider music. Star performers existed before the 20th century, such as Franz Liszt and Niccolo Paganini, but mass media produced a celebrity system promoting a few stars whose music was not necessarily the best or most diverse. Copyright provides protection for distribution companies and for a few celebrities, thereby helping to support the industry as currently defined, but it may actually harm the majority of A. Countries may differ in their efforts to protect it. B. The author considers its protection well-grounded. C. People believe its protection may benefit creators. D. The history of its protection has not been long.

The government will be told next month
that a stark new class divide is opening between career women and mothers who
give up work to become housewives. While career mums are able to
build on the increased "social capital" or status that a modem education and
equal access to the workplace have afforded them, stay-at-home mothers rapidly
lose their social status. The new study of social mobility and
its conclusion that middle-class women are becoming increasingly "polarised"
will be presented at a Cabinet Office meeting later this month by Professor
Jonathan Gershuny, a leading sociologists. He will say that
while reforms in equal opportunities legislation over the past 30 years have
improved women’s life chances, all the gains can be lost at the point when they
have children if they are unable to afford nurseries o A. middle-class women are undergoing opposing division. B. middle-class women prefer to go to the Poles of the world. C. middle-class women are becoming more and more popular. D. middle-class women have more and more problems.
