15、riate letter on the ANSWER SHEET. (2x15 =30 points)Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.Passage 1 The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our food supply continue occur, largely because of the extreme difficulty inaffixinglegal responsibility on those who continue t

16、o treat our environment with reckless abandon. Attempts to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and friendly persuasion have been net by lawsuits, personal and industrial denial and long delaysnot only in accepting responsibility, but more importantly, in doing something about it.It

17、 seems that only when government decides it can afford tax incentives or production sacrifices is there any initiative for change. Where is industrys and our recognition that protecting mankinds great treasure is the single most important responsibility? If ever there will be time for environmental

18、health professionals to come to the frontlines and provide leadership to solve environmental problems, that time is now.We are being asked, and, in fact, the public is demanding that we take positive action. It is our responsibility as professionals in environmental health to make the difference. Ye

19、s, the ecologists, the environmental activists and the conservationists serve to communicate, stimulate thinking and promote behavioral change. However, it is those of us who are paid to make the decisions to develop, improve and enforce environmental standards, I submit, who must lead the change.We

20、 must recognize that environmental health issues do not stop at city limits, county lines, state or even federal boundaries. We can no longer afford to be tunnel-visioned in our approach. We must visualize issues from every perspective to make the objective decisions. We must express our views clear

21、ly to prevent media distortion and public confusion.I believe we have a three-part mission for the present. First, we must continue to press for improvements in the quality of life that people can make for themselves. Second, we must investigate and understand the link between environment and health

22、. Third, we must be able to communicate technical information in a form that citizens can understand. If we can accomplish these three goals in this decade, maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation, and not merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prev

23、ention rather than on bandages.1. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that the industrialists disregard environmental protection chiefly because _.A) they are unaware of the consequences of what they are doingB) they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interestsC) time has not yet c

24、ome for them to put due emphasis on itD) it is difficult for them to take effective measures2.

28、cess to technical information on pollution.D) Environmental degradation will be stopped by the end of this decade.Questions 6-10 are based on the following passage.Passage 2In the 1920s demand for American farm products fell, as European countries began to recover from World War I and instituted aus

29、terityprograms to reduce their imports. The result was a sharp drop in farm prices. This period was more disastrous for farmers than earlier times had been, because farmers were no longer self-sufficient. They were paying for machinery, seed, and fertilizer, and they were also buying consumer goods.

30、 The prices of the items farmers bought remained constant, while prices they received for their products fell. These developments were made worse by the Great Depression, which began in 1929 and extended throughout the 1939s.In 1929, under President Herbert Hoover, the Federal Farm Board was organized.
