(A) All technologycontrol methods would be effective. (B) Some resource allocations would be illegal. (C) Prices would include all costs to members of society. (D) Some decisionmaking structures would be altered. (E) The availability of mon goods would increase. 23. The author assumes that, in determining what would be an optimal allocation of resources, it would be possible to (A) assign moary value to all damage resulting from the use of technology (B) bine legal methods to yield theoretical optimum (C) convince buyers to bear the burden of damage from technological developments (D) predict the costs of new technological developments (E) derive an equation making costs depend on prices 24. On the basis of the passage, it can be inferred that the author would aGREe with which of the following statements concerning technological development? (A) The government should own technological operations. 中國(guó)最大的管理資源中心 (大量免費(fèi)資源共享 ) 第 12 頁 共 18 頁 (B) The effects of technological development cannot be controlled. (C) Some technological developments are beneficial. (D) The current states of technological development results in a good allocation of resources. (E) Applications of technological development are criminally destructive. The whole biosphere, like the individual anisms that live inside it, exists in a chemically dynamic states. In this homeostatic system, a great number of anic pounds are synthesized, transformed, and deposed continuously。 together, these processes constitute the major parts of the carbon cycle. For the smooth operation of this cycle, degradation is just as important as synthesis, the green plants produce great quantities of polymers, such as cellulose, and innumerable other pounds like alkaloids, terpenes, and fiavonoids, that green plants cannot use as sources of energy during respiration. The release of the carbon in these pounds for recycling depends almost entirely on the action of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and certain types of fungi. Some bacteria and fungi possess the unique and extremely important biochemical asset of being able to catalyze the oxidation of numerous inert products, thereby initiating reaction sequences that produce carbon dioxide and so return much carbon to a form that actively enters into life cycles once again. 25. The passage contains information that would answer which of the following questions about the carbon cycle? 中國(guó)最大的管理資源中心 (大量免費(fèi)資源共享 ) 第 13 頁 共 18 頁 Ⅰ What are some of the pounds that are broken down in the carbon cycle? Ⅱ Why are some pounds that are involved in the carbon cycle less reactive than others? Ⅲ What role do bacteria and fungi play in the carbon cycle? (A) Ⅰ only (B) Ⅱ only (C) Ⅲ only (D) Ⅰ and Ⅱ only (E) Ⅰ and Ⅲ only 26. The author implies that which of the following is the primary reason that degradation is as important as synthesis to the smooth operation of the carbon cycle? (A) Most of the pol
