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。
The underlined word“proponents”most probably mean___________.
选项
A、arguments in support of something
B、disagreements on something
C、people who argue for something
D、people who argue against something
答案
C
解析
词义猜测题。根据该词的谓语动词可知,该词应该指人,故A、B可排除。结合上文可知,该段描述的是支持经济增长的人的看法,“proponents of economic growth”的观点是经济增长能够提升生活质量,故“proponents of economic growth”应该是支持经济增长的人。“proponent”应该表示“支持……的人”。
