IⅡ. Cloze (15%)
Cowboy or spaceman? A dilemma for a children’s party, perhaps. But also a question for economists, argued Kenneth Boulding, a British economist, in an essay published in 1966. We have run our ____41_____, he warned, like cowboys on the open grassland: taking and using the world’s resources, ___42_____ that more lies over the horizon. But the Earth is __43___a grassland than a spaceship—a clod system, alone in space, carrying limited supplies. We need, said Boulding, an economics that takes riously the idea of environmental ___44_____. In the half century since his essay, a new movement has responded to his challenge. “Ecological economists”, as they call themlves, want to ___45___ its aims and assumptions. What do they say—and will their ideas ach
ieve lift-off?
To its___46_____, ecological economics is neither ecology nor economics, but a mix of both. Their starting point is to recognize that the human economy is part of the natural world. Our environment, they note, is both a source of resources and a sink for wastes. But it is__47____ in conventional textbooks, where neat diagrams trace the flows between firms, houholds and the government as though nature did not exist. That is a mistake, say ecological economists.
There are two ways our economies can grow, ecological economists point out: through technological change, or through more intensive u of resources. Only the ___48_____, they say, is worth having. They are suspicious of GDP, a crude ___49______which does not take account of resource ___50_____, unpaid work, and countless other factors. In its place they advocate more holistic(全面的) approaches, such as the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), a composite index(复合指标) that includes things like the cost of pollution, deforestation and car accidents. While GDP has kept growing, global GPI per person _____51____in 1978: by
destroying our environment we are making ourlves poorer, not richer. The solution, says Herman Daly, a former World Bank economist and eco-expert, is a “steady-state” economy, where the u of materials and energy is held ___52_____.
Mainstream economists are ___53___. The GPI, they point out, is a subjective measure. And talk of limits to growth has had a bad press since the days of Thomas Malthus, a gloomy 18th century cleric who predicted, wrongly, that overpopulation would lead to famine. Human beings find solutions to some of the most annoying problems. But ecological economists ____54____lf-satisfaction. In 2009 a paper in Nature, a scientific journal, argued that human activity is already ____55_____ safe planetary boundaries on issues such as biodiversity(生物多样性) and climate change. That suggests that ecological economists are at least asking some important questions, even if their answers turn out to be wrong.

Back in the 1980s and early 1900s, when African first realized that tourism might be a way out of their poverty, they built vast concrete hotels on the beaches of Kenya, South Africa and other countries. For a time the charter flights poured in from Germany and Italy. Tourists hoping to e lions and enjoy the comfort of home packed into overcrowded game parks or roasted in resorts that attempted to look like the Mediterranean.
That was then. Fortunately, a new kind of travel is in vogue（正流行）now. Experienced tourists are abandoning the mock-European high-ris for more authentic experiences, like horback riding through the bush. On the wild coast of eastern South Africa, young Germans gallop on pristine（原始状态的）beaches and thread their way through hills covered by subtropical vegetation. Sitting by the fire at night after a typical dinner of African, they listen to the local Xhosa people tell folk stories. This experience is offered not by a multinational tour operator but by the Xhosa themlves, through a small, locally run firm called Amadiba Adventures. The money earned will provide the Xhosa tour guides with incomes two and a half times the average local wage.
In many ways, this off-the-beaten-path(打破常规的) vacation reprents the future of global tourism. Despite a tumultuous（混乱的）year, international and domestic tourism is expected to boom over the next two decades. While a global recession and the terrorist attacks of 9-11 pushed down tourist
numbers in 2001 for the first time since 1982, the impact was less than many had feared. Long-term trends---including a ri in global wealth, improving transport technology, liberalization of international airspace, cheaper flights and the u of the Internet as a travel tool---will make it possible for more people around the world to travel than ever before. In 2001 there were 693 million international tourist arrivals. The World Tourism Organization expects that number to increa to more than 1 billion by 2010. Tomorrow’s tourists will come from new places. The number of Asian, and particularly Chine tourists, is predicted to explode as that region becomes more integrated （融入）into the global economy.

In the villages of the English countryside there are still people who remember the good old days when no one bothered to lock their doors. There simply wasn’t any crime to worry about.
Amazingly, the happy times appear still to be with us in the world’s biggest community.
A new study by Dan Farmer, a gifted programmer, using an automated investigative program of his own called SA TAN, shows that the owners of well over half of all World Wide Web sites have t up home without fitting locks to their doors.
SATAN can try out a variety of well-known hacking tricks on an Internet site without actually breaking
in. Farmer has made the program publicly available, amid much criticism. A person with evil intent could u it to hunt down sites that are easy to burgle.
But Farmer is very concerned about the need to alert the public to poor curity and, so far, events have proved him right. SATAN has done more to alert people to the risks than cau new disorder.
