For questions 1-5, choose the best answer .For questions 6-10 mark Y（for YES）if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N（for NO）if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG（for NOT GIVEN）if the information is not given in the passage. Overpopulation, environmental degradation(恶化), and social injustice all result from the same global economic system that seeks to increase profits at all costs. As local economies in the Third World are replaced with profit-driven, export-oriented industries----- largely the result of “structural adjustment” programs imposed by the World Bank to benefit wealthy investors(投资者) --- poverty and inequality increase. This leads to higher birth rates as poor families have more children in order to generate income and ensure economic security in their old age. As Bello points out, “inequality amidst poverty provides the most fertile conditions for high reproductive rates, just as rising living standards constitute the best guarantee that countries will have lower birth rates.” Sri Lanka is a case in point. Since the end of World War II the Sri Lanka government sought to eliminate(消除) poverty by supporting free and subsidized(补贴的) food programs, higher educational levels, and greater employment opportunities for women. These limited social welfare policies have produced impressive results. Between 1960 and 1985, Sri Lanka’ birth rate dropped by a remarkable 40 percent, occurring hand-in-hand with a dramatic decline(下降) in the infant death rate. The Indian State of Kerala is another example. Like Sri Lanka, Kerala’s birth rate dropped nearly 40 percent between 1960 and 1985, and during the prior decades the government instituted a number of social welfare programs which significantly raised the living standards of the poorest sectors of society. “Fair price” shops were set up to keep the cost of rice and other essentials within reach of the poor. Increased expenditures(支出) on public health, the construction of clinics
in poor areas.and land reform all greatly improved the economic security of poor families.Higher Kerala's remarkable decrease in birth rates Overpopulation is not so much a cause as it is a symptom of the same corporate and government policies that produce both environmental degradation and social injustice.The solutions.therefore.are not coercive()population control measures.but rather the radical ransformation of the global economic system.On a grassroots level much of this work is already being done.but much more needs to happen 1.The global economic system that seeks to increase profits at costs leads to the following results except A.lower birth rates B.social injustice C.overpopulatio D.environmental degradation 2.In this pa which of the following is not mentioned as the cause of higher reproductive rates in Third World A.Poverty and inequality in the Third World have increased. B.Profit-driven and export-oriented industries have been substituted for by local alternatives. C."Structural adjustment"programs were imposd n the Third World by the World Bank.

in poor areas, and land reform all greatly improved the economic security of poor families. Higher education for women also led to greater control over reproduction. All these factors contributed to Kerala’s remarkable decrease in birth rates. Overpopulation is not so much a cause as it is a symptom of the same corporate and government policies that produce both environmental degradation and social injustice. The solutions, therefore, are not coercive(强制的) population control measures, but rather the radical transformation of the global economic system. On a grassroots level much of this work is already being done, but much more needs to happen. 1.The global economic system that seeks to increase profits at costs leads to the following results except________.
