(33) Our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts can prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more motor vehicles, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials. What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man--by his desire for a modern way of life. (34)We make "increasing industrialization" our chief aim. For its sake, we are willing to sacrifice everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem. Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why?
It is like the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker: "I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going." (35)The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when applied to our modern society.
选项
A、Man knows where the society is going.
B、People don’t welcome the rapid development of modern society.
C、The speaker is worried about the future of our modern society.
D、Man can do nothing about the problem of pollution.
答案
C
解析
综合理解题。文章中提到了飞行员的故事,飞行员说好消息是我们正在高速飞行,坏消息是我们不知道方向,文章最后一句说道:“可悲的事实是,这个故事对我们目前的状态非常相似。”由此可知,讲话者讲到这个故事是因为C)“他很担心现代社会将来的发展方向”。
