    8．Cowboy or spaceman？A dilemma for a children's party，perhaps．But also a question for economists，argued Kenneth Boulding，a British economist，in an essay published in 1966．We have run our economies，he warned，like cowboys on the open grassland：taking and using the world's resources，confident that more lies over the horizon．But the Earth is less a grassland than a spaceship-a closed system，alone in space，carrying limited supplies．We need，said Boulding，an economics that takes seriously the idea of environmental limits．In the half century since his essay，a new movement has responded to his challenge．"Ecological economists"，as they call themselves，want to revolutionise its aims and assumptions．What do they say-and will their ideas achieve lift-off？
    To its advocators，ecological economics is neither ecology nor economics，but a mix of both．Their starting point is to recognise that the human economy is part of the natural world．Our environment，they note，is both a source of resources and a sink for wastes．But it is ignored in conventional textbooks，where neat diagrams trace the flows between firms，households and the government as though nature did not exist．That is a mistake，say ecological economists．
    There are two ways our economies can grow，ecological economists point out：through technological change，or through more intensive use of resources．Only the former，they say，is worth having．They are suspicious of GDP，a crude measure which does not take account of resource exhaustion，unpaid work，and countless other factors．In its place they advocate more holistic（全面的） approaches，such as the Genuine Progress Indicator （GPI），a composite index（复合指标） that includes things like the cost of pollution，deforestation and car accidents．While GDP has kept growing，global GPI per person peaked in 1978：by destroying our environment we are making ourselves poorer，not richer．The solution，says Herman Daly，a former World Bank economist and eco-guru，is a"steady-state"economy，where the use of materials and energy is held constant．
    Mainstream economists are unimpressed．The GPI，they point out，is a subjective measure．And talk of limits to growth has had a bad press since the days of Thomas Malthus，a gloomy 18th century cleric who predicted，wrongly，that overpopulation would lead to famine．Human beings find solutions to some of the most annoying problems．But ecological economists warn against self-satisfaction．In 2009 a paper in Nature，a scientific journal，argued that human activity is already overstepping safe planetary boundaries on issues such as biodiversity（生物多样性） and climate change．That suggests that ecological economists are at least asking some important questions，even if their answers turn out to be wrong．
     
    73．Why does Boulding compare the way economy is run with cowboy and spaceship？D
    A．To advocate the importance of space programs．
    B．To applaud the appearance of ecological economists．
    C．To arouse people's interest in cowboys'adventures on grassland．
    D．To awaken people to the need of sustainable development of economy．
    74．What does the underlined word"challenge"in paragraph 1 refer to？B
    A．Sending a cowboy into space through a spaceship．
    B．Establishing an economics taking environmental limits into account．
    C．Revolutionizing the ecological economists'aims and assumptions．
    D．Enabling ecological economists to make their ideas achieve lift-offs．
    75．Ecological economists will disagree thatA．
    A．economies are worth growing through intensive use of resources
    B．economics should attach importance to the idea of environmental limits
    C．ecological economics is neither ecology nor economics
    D．the human economy is part of the natural world
    76．According to the passage，which of the following about GPI is true？C
    A．It keeps growing although the peak appeared in the year 1978．
    B．Mainstream economists regard it as a holistic and objective approach．
    C．Ecological economists believe it is a better indicator of economy than GDP．
    D．It fails to take the factors such as deforestation and car accidents into consideration．
    77．We can infer from the last paragraph that the mainstream economists'attitude toward ecological economics isA．
    A．doubtful        B．sensitive          C．optimistic        D．over-concerned．

    12．For years，there has been a bias （偏见） against science among clinical psychologists （临床心理学家）．In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science，psychologists led by Timothy B．Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that many clinical psychologists fail to"provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness"and"give more weight to their personal experiences than to science．"As a result，patients have no guarantee that their"treatment will be informed by …science．"Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment．"The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment，"he told me，and"there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science．"
    The"widening"reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying （确认） the most effective treatments．Thanks to strict clinical trials，we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new，healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression，panic disorder and other problems，with multiple trials showing that these treatments-the tools of psychology-bring more lasting benefits than drugs．
    You wouldn't know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist．Although many treatments are effective，relatively few psychologists learn or practice them．
    Why in the world not？For one thing，says Baker，clinical psychologists are"very doubtful about the role of science"and"lack solid science training"．Also，one third of patients get better no matter what treatment （if any） they have，"and psychologists remember these successes，believing，wrongly，that they are the result of the treatment．"
    When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science，clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study what works．A 2008study of 591psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues'experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient．If they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine，warns Mischel，psychology will"discredit （损伤名誉）itself．"
    （Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO　MORE THAN 12WORDS）

    78．Clinical psychologists can't explain the effectiveness of their treatment mainly because they rely ontheir personal experience．
    79．What has widened the gap between clinical practice and science？The great progress in psychological research
    80．According to Baker，what are the reasons that prevent clinical psychologists from learning or practicing effective treatment？Their doubt about the role of science and inadequate science training
    81．To avoid discrediting psychology，clinical psychologists need tosupport their treatment with science．

    13．With the crazy smog going on in China，businessmen are now ready to grope for your wallet．"Smog economy"is stimulating a shopping spree on certain products against the terrible weather．Now let's see what we have on the list to help us through the crisis．
    1．Masks
    Well，I would say you had better stay indoors to save your lives．PM 2.5 just surged up to 750 in Beijing recently.3M just sold 220，000 masks of a kind．No.1 best-selling products!
    2．Air purifiers
    This kind of products is rarely seen in Chinese households in the past．They have become a necessity now．I do like these little gadgets，but they are just too expensive．
    3．Oxygen inhalers
    I didn't realize oxygen inhalers also get a cut in the smog economy．As a matter of fact，your oxygen uptake has nothing to with relieving （减轻） the impact of smog．It might even lead to oxygen poisoning when you inhale too much oxygen．So don't get greedy．
    4．Salt lamps
    Compared to oxygen inhalers，salt lamps are even worse．Some stores are selling the products at several hundred yuan，saying that they can release negative ions（离子），reduce radiation levels and purify the air．The lamps mainly contain sodium chloride．The boiling point of sodium is about 800 degrees centigrade and that of candle is 500．So how on earth can negative ions be released at only 500 degrees？
    5．Plants that absorb smog
    Yeah，right．Plants Vs Smog．It is scientifically justified （证明） that some plants do absorb pollutants from the air．Money plants and calla lilies are among the best-sellers in the market．Even if they don't work，it's good to have some plants in the house anyway．

    43．According to the passage，smogA．
    A．give some economic chances to businessmen
    B．is very bad to economy
    C．makes some crisis come out

    D．Buying something enthusiastically．
    45．Salt lamps are useless，becauseB．
    A．it may cause poisoning
    B．it actually can't release the negative ions
    C．it reduces radiation level and makes the air dirty
    D．the prize is very high
    46．How many ways does the author think are useful？B
    A.2．B.3．C.4．D.5．
