填空题目
Lookingat the basic biological systems, the world is not doing very well. Yet,economic indicators show the world is 26prospering. Despite a slow start at thebeginning of the 80s, global economic output increased by more than a fifth during the 27decade. The economy grew, trade increased, and millions of new jobswere created. How can biological indicators show the 28opposite of economic indicators?
The answer is that the economic indicators have a basic fault. Theyshow no difference between resource uses that 29sustain progress and those usesthat will hurt it. The main measure of economic progress is the Gross NationalProducts -- GNP. 30In simple terms, this totals the value of all goods andservices produced and subtracts loss in value of factories and equipment.Developed a half century ago, GNP helped 31 establish a common way among countriesof measuring change in economic output. For some time, this seemed to work 32reasonably well, but serious weaknesses are now appearing. As indicatedearlier, GNP includes loss in value of factories and equipment, but it does nottake into 33account the loss of natural resources, including non-renewableresources, such as oil, or renewable resources, such as forests.
This basic fault can produce a 34misleading sense of national economic health. According toGNP, for example, countries that overcut forest actually do better than thosethat preserve their forests. The trees cut down are counted as income but nosubtraction is made for 35using up the forests.
听写解析:同学们最害怕的听写题目,从此套题目来看,难度较低。27decade,31establish为阅读听力高频词汇;28,33两空大家不难发现opposite,account两词考过多次,正是我在课上给大家总结到的双写词汇(你们有木有答对);此外,32空,以ly结尾的副词课上也有提到。而大家最害怕的词组填空 30 和 35两空词汇难度不大,大家可以试着拼出来,值得注意的是不要忘记大写!难度较大的空为29 空sustain,大家容易听错发音。
