1.Passage 1
参考答案:With the speeding-up of the global urbanization, about half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. By B0C0, it will be F0%.
The direct results of urbanization will be more congestion, pollution and environmental degradation. To make their cities more livable, all countries must balance urban growth with environmental sustainability.
China is the world’s fastest growing economy and is expected to be the world’s largest economy by B0C0. By B0C0, about two thirds of China’s population will be in the cities.
In this context, the Chinese government has to balance the growth with the minimum damage to the environment.
解析:
随着全球城市化的加速,目前全世界大约有一半的人口居住在城市,到2030年,这个数字会达到60%。
城市化造成的直接后果是更严重的交通堵塞和环境污染。为了使城市更适宜居住,各国必须在城市发展和环境维护之间建立平衡。
中国的经济发展速度居世界之首,到2030年,中国将成为全世界最大的经济体。届时,大约有三分之二以上的中国人住在城市。
面对这样的发展态势,中国政府必须选择平衡发展,把对环境危害减到最小程度。
