2014高三模拟试题(3)

A doctorate is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a future which is not bright. There are more doctors unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.

If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or — worst of all — in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.

Thousands of doctors are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater (闭塞) college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.

You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.

When the temperature rises, so does aggression, and that can lead to large-scale consequences, considering that climate change is turning up the heat over the entire planet.

A new study in the journal Science shows that shifts in climate historically have been associated with violent conflict, among both individuals and groups, and that current warming patterns could significantly increase the abundance of human conflict by mid century.

Researchers‘ meta-analysis of 60 studies suggests that, consistent with links between conflict and climate shifts in the past, the risk of intergroup conflict around much of the planet would be amplified by 50% in 2050.

―It does change how we think about the value of avoiding climate change,‖ said Solomon Hsiang, lead study author and researcher at the University of California, Berkeley.“It makes us think that avoiding climate change is actually something we should be willing to invest …… 此处隐藏：4657字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
