24、he basic 26biologicalsystems, the world is not doing very well。 Yet economic 27indicatorsshow the world is prospering. Despite a slow start at the beginning of the eighties， 28globaleconomic output increased by more than a fifth during the decade. The economy grew， trade increased， and millions of n

25、ew jobs were created。 How can biological indicators show the opposite of economic indicators？The answer is that the economic indicators have a basic 29fault: they show no difference between resource uses that sustain progress and those uses that will hurt it. The main 30measure of economic progress

26、is the gross national product (GNP)。 In simple terms, this totals the value of all goods and services produced and subtracts loss in value of factories and equipment。 Developed a half-century ago, GNP helped establish a common way among countries of measuring change in economic 31output。 For some ti

27、me， this seemed to work reasonably well， but serious weaknesses are now appearing。 As indicated earlier, GNP includes loss 32in value of factories and equipment, but it does not take into account the loss of natural resources， including 33non-renewable resources such as oil or renewable resources su

28、ch as forests. This basic fault can produce a misleading sense of national economic health. According to GNP， for example， countries that 34 overcutforests actually do better than those that 35preserve their forests. The trees cut down are counted as income but no subtraction is made for using up th

29、e forests。PAGE PAGE 8Part III Reading Comprehension Section A Directions： In this section， there are ten sentences with ten blanks.

The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of thei

It is sunburn tha

44、t is most worrying-recent research shows five episodes of sunburn in the teenage years increases the risk of all skin cancers.The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates， as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slopslap campaign。 So if there is a

50、on the following passage.By almost any measure, there is a boom in Internetbased instruction. In just a few years, 34 percent of American universities have begun offering some form of distance leaning （DL）, and among the larger schools, its closer to 90 percent. If you doubt the popularity of the tr

51、end， you probably havent heard of the University of Phoenix。 It grants degrees entirely on the basis of online instruction。 It enrolls 90，000 students， a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country.While the kinds of instruction offered in these programs w

52、ill differ， DL usually signifies a course in which the instructors post syllabi （课程大纲), reading assignments, and schedules on Websites, and students send in their assignments by e-mail. Generally speaking, faceto-face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminated altogether. The attrac

53、tion for students might at first seem obvious. Primarily， theres the convenience promised by courses on the Net: you can do the work， as they say, in your pajamas (睡衣)。 But figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced commitment to the course. While dropout rates for all freshmen at

54、 American universities is around 20 percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselves seem to understand the weaknesses inherent in the setup. In a survey conducted for eCornell， the DL division of Cornell University， less than a third of the respondents expected the quality o

55、f the online course to be as good as the classroom course。 Clearly， from the schools perspective， theres a lot of money to be saved。 Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software， most DL courses can run on existing or

56、minimallyupgraded （升级） systems. The more students who enroll in a course but dont come to campus， the more the school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms， paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots. And， while theres evidence that instructors must work harder to run a DL course fo

57、r a variety of reasons， they wont be paid any more, and might well be paid less.B 51. What is the most striking feature of the University of Phoenix？A. It boasts the largest number of students on campus。 B. All its courses are offered online. C。 Its online courses are of the best quality. D. Anyone

58、taking its online courses is sure to get a degree。A 52. According to the passage， distance learning is basically characterized by _. A. a minimum or total absence of facetoface instruction B. a considerable flexibility in its academic requirements C。 the great diversity of students academic backgrou

59、nds D. the casual relationship between students and professorsC 53。 Many students take Internetbased courses mainly because they can _. A. save a great deal on traveling and boarding expenses B. select courses from various colleges and universities C。 work on the required courses whenever and wherever D。 earn their academic degrees with much less effortA 54。 What accounts for the high dropout rates for onl
