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 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 society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will decrease.
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 the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another.
According to those who argue against economic growth we must slow down for the following reasons EXCEPT that______.
选项
A、our natural surroundings are in danger of being destroyed by industry
B、the fixed supply of natural resources marks a point beyond which economic growth cannot continue
C、the world population is ever increasing
D、more efforts should be made to improve the quality of our material life
答案
D
解析
根据文章第二段第三句“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.”可知,那些反对加快经济增长者认为自然资源的有限供应、工业对自然环境的负面影响以及人口的持续增长要求我们放慢经济增长速度,分别对应B、A、C项。D项“应该更加努力提高我们的物质生活水平”文章中没有提到。故选D。
