Believing this will cause us to ignore the real problem and risk long-term damage to our planet.Let me start by explaining why overpopulation is a myth. For one thing, the UN Population Division regularly predicts population growth but provides a low variant (变量), medium variant, and high variant to factor in various possibilities. In the 2010 revision, their high variant suggests that the world population will be almost 16 billion in 2100, but the low variant predicts it will peak at 8 billion and decrease to just over 6 billion by 2100. In most cases, it is the low variant that has come true in the past, suggesting the same will be true of their future population predictions. In addition to this, the size of families is actually decreasing. For another, if the Earth is overpopulated, there needs to be insufficient (短缺) food, water, and space for humans to live. However, Indian economist Raj Krishna estimates that India alone is able to increase crop produce to the point of providing the entire worlds food supply. The World Food Programme confirms that there is sufficient food grown to feed the world and there is the same amount of fresh water on the planet now as there was 10,000 years ago. So how is it possible that the number of people in the world is affecting our planet?Therefore, it is not an increase in population but an increase in consumption that is a severe threat. Materialism and overconsumption are facts of life for everybody in the western world, as possessions reflect a persons status in society and people strive to obtain happiness through owning the latest fashionable goods. Not only that, but waste is a common occurrence which has a huge effect on our resources. It is a sad truth that 80% of the worlds resources are currently used by just 20% of the worlds population.Our overconsumption must be addressed now to make our lives more sustainable (可持续的) and avoid continuing the terrible damage to the environment we are causing. The key is education. If we do not work towards this but instead focus on the wrong issue, we may find ourselves living on a planet that can no longer sustain human life.1.

They may feel as if they have exhausted all of their options, and sometimes they are on the verge of giving up. But there is hope. Schools for troubled teens offer discipline and in some cases, drug treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start.The following is a list of the most effective types of schools for troubled teens. Not every facility is a match for every child, but by knowing the differences between them, parents can make a better educated decision about where to send their teenager.Boarding SchoolsWhen a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools might be a good choice. At boarding schools, the child lives in a dorm setting, where almost every minute of the day is scheduled by school administrators.Treatment CentersWhen a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential center that specializes in young people is an outstanding way to help them break the cycle of addiction. Treatment centers feature individual and group counseling to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over. Wilderness Programs Designed to help improve the discipline and self-reliance of the child, wilderness programs send kids back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs hope to improve childrens behavior. Programs generally include hikes, exercise programs and team building exercises.Boot CampsBoot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens. These facilities are modeled after actual military boot camps, where the individual must get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow a long, hard set of rules and regulations. However, boot camps might not be the best choice for a teen with a drug addiction.4. Who would be the intended readers of the passage?A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Students. D. Experts.5. As the author suggests, schools for troubled teens_.A. can be a good choice for some desperate parentsB. can completely help and change troubled teensC. are becoming popular with teens in trouble D. care more about discipline than life skills 6. According to the passage, boarding schools_.A. provide children with more freedom B. have their students time managed carefullyC. pay much attention to team building exercises D. can make children feel safer7. Whats the purpose of this passage?A. To introduce schools for troubled teens.B. To show some problems of troubled teens.C. To teach parents how to educate their children. D. To remind parents to care for their children.参考答案4-7 BABA 社会生活类 “Everyone is entitled（有权） to their opinion is a remark commonly heard in our society. We value free speech and the rights of the individual. The private preferences we keep, as long as they do not bother with the rights and freedoms of others, are ours to do with as we wish.Children learn this central principle early on and soon become expert at using it effectively to suit their own purposes. The phrase well, its just my opinion can act as a get-out clause which avoids further questioning or the need to give an explanation. A student may well prefer to put up a brick wall and so avoid the difficult task of providing a justification（正当的理由） for their view.They know the holy position freedom of speech holds for all of us and they know the taboo（禁忌）around challenging the opinions of others when they do not produce unfavorable effects on anyone else.This can make things hard for the teacher. We want to promote tolerance and respect in our classrooms and give young people a sense: this is how one ought to behave. Yet, we are also seeking to develop reasoning and critical thinking. To some extent, there is an idea that peoples views carry equal weight because all individuals ought to be treated equally. Treating peopleequally is different from treating what they say with equal weight, though. We need to make clear to students that the right to ones opinions does not ignore the need to support them with argument when called to do so.Justification is the signal difference between opinion and argument. Opinions are stated;arguments are advanced. Opinions are given; arguments are proposed. When we ask a student to explain themselves, we are asking them to give us something that will lend evidence to what they have said. We are asking them to convince us, to persuade us, to show us the reasonableness of what it is they are saying.64. According to Paragraph 2, if you offer a get-out clause, you may.A. fall into a difficult situationB. escape being questionedC. raise your social positionD. have to further explain your opinion65. The teacher may find it hard to.A. put up a brick wall to avoid giving acceptable reasonsB. challenge the opinions of others to have a deep effect on themC. encourage tolerance and respect while developing reasoning and critical thinkingD. tell the differences between opinion and argument66. The underlined word them in Paragraph 3 refers to .A. studentsB. teachersC. needsD. opinions67. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Everyone is entitled to their opinionB. Never bother with the rights of othersC. “Its just my opinion isnt good enoughD. Treat what people say equally【参考答案】2. 64-67 BCDC 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。【2014模拟】阅读理解 Directions: Read the following three passages.
