Directions：Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished ntences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choo the best answer to each question.
Governments throughout the world act on the assumption that the welfare of their people depends largely on the economic strength and wealth of the community. Under modern conditions, this requires varying measures of centralized control and hence the help of specialized scientists such as economists and operational rearch experts. Furthermore, it is obvious that the strength of country’s economy is directly bound up with the efficiency of its agriculture and industry, and that this in turn rests upon the efforts of scientists and technologists of all kinds. It also means that governments are increasingly compelled to interfere in the ctors in order to step up production and ensure that it is u
tilized (利用) to the best advantage. For example, they may encourage rearch in various ways, including the tting up of their own rearch centers; they may alter the structure of education, or interfere in order to reduce the wastage of natural resources or develop resources hitherto (到目前为止) unexploited; or they may cooperate directly in the growing
number of international projects related to scientific and technological manpower of all kinds.
Owing to the remarkable development in mass-communications, people everywhere are feeling new wants and are being expod to new customs and ideas, while governments are often forced to introduce still further innovations (创新) for the reasons given above. At the same time, the normal rate of social change throughout the world is taking place at a vastly accelerated speed compared with the past. For example, in the early industrialized countries of Europe, the process of industrialization —with all the far-reaching changes in social patterns that followed —was spread over nearly a century, whereas nowadays a developing nation may undergo the same process in a decade or so. All this has the effect of building up unusual pressures and tensions within the community and conquently prents rious problems for the governments concerned. Additional social stress may also occur becau of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements —themlves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport.
As a result of all the factors, governments are becoming increasingly dependent on biologists and social scientists for planning the appropriate programs and putting them into effect.

Why do smokers tend to weigh less than nonsmokers and gain weight when they give up the habit?
Contrary to “common knowledge”, nonsmokers do not generally eat more than smokers, nor do they exerci less, studies find. Rearch performed on smokers at rest indicates that nicotine (尼古丁) itlf can increa basal metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates, meaning smokers burn more energy than nonsmokers during periods of inactivity. But surveys suggest most smokers smoke not while completely at rest, but while performing light activities such as desk work that can increa metabolic rates by two or three times. Unless nicotine’s metabolic effects increa proportionally with metabolic rates, its influence on weight might be insignificant.
Now a study shows that nicotine’s effects on body-fuel consumption indeed increa proportionally with increas in activity. “The results indicate that the metabolic effect of nicotine may play a grea
ter part in accounting for body-weight differences between
