American Businessmen frequently use social situations to make business deals. One of the best examples of this practice is the business lunch. It is used to win clients, to make influential contacts, to discuss and settle internal disagreements, and even to interview potential employees. Some companies always conduct job interviews over lunch. A business lunch usually lasts from one to two and half hours, and it often takes place at a restaurant with a pleasant, quiet atmosphere conducive to private discussions.
As the world population becomes denser, we will feel greater pressure from the expanding number of people. Some experts argue that we are approaching the limit of the number of people the earth can support adequately and they feel we shall turn to compulsory birth control. Other authorities feel that if birth control is imposed on the population, the future of mankind will be seriously endangered. They think intelligent people will be more likely to have fewer children, which will bring about a lowering of the level of intelligence.
选项
答案 世界人口密度不断加大，越来越多的人口带来的压力也随之增加。专家认为，我们正在逼近地球所能承受的人口极限，因此我们必须控制人口生育。也有人认为如果用计划生育来强行控制人口数量，会危及人类未来的繁衍。权威人士认为高智商人群更可能生育较少的孩子，而由此导致人类整体智力水平的下降。
解析 首先“dense”意为“稠密”，通常与“population”搭配，表示“人口密集”。接下来“approaching the limit”意为“接近极限”，“approach”作名词时，意思是“方法，办法”，例如“historic approach”意为“历史的方法”；作动词时，最常见的意思是“接近”，例如“approach one’s home”意为“快到家”；“holiday is approaching”意为“快放假”。有的考生可能对“compulsory”这个单词也比较陌生，它的意思是“强制的”，大家比较熟悉的一个词组“compulsory education”，就是我们常说的“义务教育”。“authority”这个单词复数形式的意思要理解成“当局、负责人、权威人士”。最后一个难点应该是"imposedon”，意为“强．加的、强制的”，例如：“Don not impose your ideas on others．别把你的想法强加于人”“imposed taxation”意为“必须缴纳的税款”。
