问题 There is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable.At an earlier period,our desire for material wealth may have been justified.Now,however,this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems.Even though we have good intentions,we may be producing too much,too fast.
    Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down.They believe that the society is approaching certain limits on growth.These include the fixed supply of natural resources,the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment,and the continuing increase in the world’s population.As the society reaches these limits,economic growth can no longer continue,and the quality of life may decline.
    People who want more economic growth,on the other hand,argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world.These proponents of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world.Furthermore,they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization.
    This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry.If those who argue against economic growth are correct,the problems they mention cannot be ignored.To find a solution,economists and business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another.
    请回答下列问题。
According to those who criticize economic growth,which of the following is NOT the reason that might cause economic growth to slow down 9

选项 A、Our natural surroundings aye in danger of being destroyed by industry.
B、The fixed supply of natural resources marks a point beyond which growth cannot continue.
C、The world’s population is ever increasing.
D、More efforts are made to improve the quality of our life.

答案D

解析 细节题。根据题干“those who criticize economic growth”定位至第二段,由第二段可知,反对经济增长的人认为,经济增长已经到了极限,自然资源供给有限,工业对环境的污染,人口不断增长,比较四个选项只有D“尽更大的努力改变我们的生活质量”没有提到。故本题选D。
