Pursuing
a
career
is
an
essential
part
of
adolescent
development.
“
The
adolescent
becomes an adult when he_26_a real job.
”
To cognitive researchers like
Piaget,adulthood meant the beginning of an_27_.
Piaget
argued
that
once
adolescents
enter
the
world
of
work,their
newly
acquired
ability to form hypotheses allows them to create representations that are too
_28_of such ideals,without the tempering of the reality of a job or
profession,rapidly
leads
adolescents
to
become
_29_
of
the
non-idealistic
world
and
to press for reform in a characteristically adolescent said:
“
True
adaptation to society comes_30_when the adolescent reformer attempts to put his
ideas to work.
”
Of course,youthful idealism is often courageous,and no one likes to give up
s,taken_31_out of context,Piaget
’
s statement seems he
was_32_
，
however,is the way reality can modify idealistic people refer
to such modification as argued that attaining and accepting a
vocation is one of the best ways to modify idealized views and to mature.
As
careers
and
vocations
become
less
available
during
times
of
_33_,adolescents
may be especially hard difficult economic times may leave many
adolescents_34_about their roles in this reason,community
interventions and government job programs that offer summer and vacation work are

economically_35_but

Directions:In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements
attached to statement contains information given in one of the
fy the paragraph from which the information is may

a
paragraph

is
marked
with
a
the
questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
Can societies be rich and green?
[A]
“
If
our
economies
are
to
flourish,if
global
poverty
is
to
be
eliminated
and
if
the
well-being
of
the
world
’
s
people
enhanced
—
not
just
in
this
generation
but
in
succeeding
generations
—
we
must
make
sure
we
take
care
of
the
natural
environment
and
resources
on
which
our
economic
activity
depends.
”
That
statement
comes
not,as
you might imagine,from a stereotypical tree-hugging,save-the-world greenie(
环保
主义者
),but from Gordon Brown,a politician with a reputation for
rigour,thoroughness and above all,caution.
[B]A surprising thing for the man who runs one of the world
’
s most powerful
economies to say?Perhaps;though in the run-up to the five- year review of the
Millennium(
千年的
)Goals,he
is
far
from
roots
of
his
speech,given
in
March
at the roundtable meeting of environment and energy ministers from the G20 group
of nations,stretch back to 1972,and the United Nations Conference on the Human
Environment in Stockholm.
[C]
“
The protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue
which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the
world,
”
read
the
final
declaration
from
this
gathering,the
first
of
a
sequence
which
would
lead
to
the
Rio
de
Janeiro
Earth
Summit
in
1992
and
the
World
Development
Summit
in Johannesburg three years ago.
[D]Hunt through the reports prepared by UN agencies and development groups
—
many
for
conferences
such
as
this
year
’
s
Millennium
Goals
review
—
and
you
will
find
that
the
linkage
between
environmental
protection
and
economic
progress
is
a
common
thread.
[E]Managing ecosystems sustainably is more profitable than exploiting
them,according
to
the
Millennium
Ecosystem
finding
hard
evidence
to
support the thesis is not so ts turn first to some sort of global
statistic,some indicator which would rate the wealth of nations in both economic
and environmental terms and show a relationship between the two.
[F]If such an indicator exists,it is well on reflection,this is not
surprising;the single word
“
environment
”
has so many dimensions,and there are so
many other factors affecting wealth
—
such as the oil deposits
—
that teasing out a
simple economy-environment relationship would be almost impossible.
[G]The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment,a vast four-year global study which
reported its initial conclusions earlier this year,found reasons to believe that
managing
ecosystems
sustainably
—
working
with
nature
rather
than
against
it
—
might
be less profitable in the short term,but certainly brings long-term rewards.
[H]And the World Resources Institute(WRI)in its World Resources 2005
report,issued at the end of August,produced several such examples from Africa and
Asia;it
also
demonstrated
that
environmental
degradation
affects
the
poor
more
than
the
rich,as
poorer
people
derive
a
much
higher
proportion
of
their
income
directly
from the natural resources around them.
[I]But there are also many examples of growing wealth by trashing the
environment,in rich and poor parts of the world alike,whether through unregulated
mineral extraction,drastic water use for agriculture,slash-and-burn farming,or
fossil-fuel-guzzling(
大量消耗
) course,such growth may not persist in
the long term
—
which is what and the Stockholm declaration were both
attempting to point s the best example of boom growth and bust decline
is the Grand
Banks
almost five centuries a very large
supply of cod(
鳕
鱼
)provided
abundant
raw
material
for
an
industry
which
at
its
peak
employed
about
40,000
people,sustaining
entire
communities
in
,abruptly,the
cod
population were no longer enough fish in the sea for the stock to
maintain itself,let alone an than a decade later,there was no sign
of the ecosystem re-building had,apparently,been fished out of
existence;and the once mighty Newfoundland fleet now gropes about frantically for
crab on the sea floor.
[J]There
is
a
view
that
modern
humans
are
inevitably
sowing
the
seed
of
a
global
Grand
Banks-style
idea
is
that
we
are
taking
more
out
of
what
you
might
call
the
planet
’
s
environmental
bank
balance
than
it
can
sustain;we
are
living
beyond
our ecological recent study attempted to calculate the extent of this
“
ecological
overshoot
of
the
human
economy
”
,and
found
that
we
are
using
1.2
Earth
’
s-worth of environmental goods and services
—
the implication being that at some
point
the
debt
will
be
called
in,and
all
those
services
—
the
things
which
the
planet
does for us for free
—
will grind to a halt.
[K]Whether
this
is
right,and
if
so
where
and
when
the
ecological
axe
will
fall,is
hard to determine with any precision
—
which is why governments and financial
institutions are only beginning to bring such risks into their economic
is
also
the
reason
why
development
agencies
are
not
united
in
their
view of environmental issues;while some,like the WRI,maintain that environmental
