During the past 200 years the world population has increased 6 times, the annual world output has increased 80 times, and the distance a person can travel has gone up 1,000 times. There has also been much recent progress in art, culture, learning, and science. Such changes have led to a high rate of production and growth of the economy.
Economists fear that within the next 100 to 150 years, the earth's resources will become very scarce. Their fears are partly justified, but we should not be afraid. Industrial civilization adapts to new knowledge. By advancing knowledge, we not only create new forms of resources, but we also find ways to economize their use. Advanced modern knowledge can feed the hungry people of the world and improve their standard of living.
The figures in the second paragraph are used for the following purposes EXCEPT______.
A.prediction.
B.contrast.
C.definition.
D.explanation.

听力原文: Hyperinflation is defined as an economic condition during which there is a steep increase in prices. In accordance with the laws of economics, three factors combine to create this condition. First, demand must be much greater than the supply of available goods. Second, the country must continuously create and thereby build up an ever-increasing supply of money. Third, the governmental processes that are used to collect taxes must be crippled. Let's imagine a country where production is barely accomplishing its goal: to keep up with demand. When this happens, the government should decrease the salaries of the workers by raising taxes. But the government is powerless to collect the taxes, so it prints more money to compensate for the goods it must purchase. This new money goes to the workers who produced the goods; as a result, the people are not forced to give up certain things for a while—they actually become richer. While this might appear to be a positive step, it is actually regressive. Every month the government is forced to print more and more money, thereby increasing its liabilities until, it is destroyed. The only way to prevent total economic collapse in such a situation is for the government to increase taxes in a manner that is characterized by impartiality to everyone involved.
21. Which of the following might occur during hyperinflation?
22.What does the passage imply?
23.What does the word "regressive" probably mean?
24.What does the author centers on in this passage?
(21)
A.A slight increase in prices.
B.Rapid growth of economy.
C.Decrease of worker's salary.
D.Soaring prices.

Almost every new innovation goes through three phases. When
initially introducing into the market, the process of adoption is slow. S1.______
The early models are expensive and hard to use, and perhaps even unsafe.
The economic impact is relatively great. S2.______
The second phase is the explosive one, where the innovation was S3.______
rapidly adopted by a large number of people. It gets cheaper and easier
to use and becomes something familiar. And then in the third stage, diffusion
of the innovation slows down again, as if it permeates out across the S4.______
economy. During the explosive phase, the whole new industries
spring up to produce the new product or innovation, but to service it. S5.______
For example, during the 1920s, there was a dramatic acceleration in auto
production, from 1.9 million in 1920 to 4.5 million in 1929. This boom was
accompanying by all sorts of other essential activities necessary for S6.______
auto-based nation: Roads had to be built for the cars to run on; refineries and S7.______
oil wells, to provide the gasoline; and garages, to repair it. Historically, the S8.______
same pattern is repeated again and again with innovations. The construction
of the electrical system requested an enormous early investment in generation S9.______
and distribution capacity. The introduction of the radio was followed by a buying
spree(无节制的狂热行为) by Americans what quickly brought radios into S10.______
almost half of all households by 1930, up from nearly none in 1924.

One of the most interesting new uses for glass is in telephone communication. Scientists have developed glass fibers as thin as human hair, which are designed to can-y light signals. When the light reaches the other end, it is first changed into electrical signals, which are in turn converted into sound messages.
Called light wave communication, the new system was used successfully in an experiment in Chicago in 1997. During the experiment, two glass fibers were able to carry 672 conversations at the same time. The lightwave cable, containing 144 glass fibers, has the capacity to carry 50,000 conversations at the same time.
The lightwave communication system has two important advantages. First, the glass fiber cables are smaller and weigh less than copper. Second, they cost less.
Perhaps it can be said that telephone communication has entered the age of light.
One of the extraordinary qualities of glass is that it can carry ______.
A.sound signals
B.light signals
C.electrical signals
D.any signals
