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。
Those who want more economic growth believe that continued economic growth_____________．
选项 A、is essential to the well-being of the society as a whole
B、can provide the solution to all of our social problems today
C、can never protect our environment from being polluted by industry
D、can provide US with more natural resources for industrialization
答案A
解析 细节题。根据题干“Those who want more economic growth”定位至第三段，由第三段可知，支持经济增长的人认为，世界上还有许多人非常穷困，只有经济增长才能提供资金改进生活质量，只有经济增长才能够为工业对环境造成的破坏进行修复。四个选项中，B选项过于绝对，C选项与文意相反，D选项也没有提到。故本题选A。
