问题 32

Europe and North America. It is also an extremely serious

problem in some developing countries. For these countries,

economic growth is a very important goal. They want to

attract new industries, and so they put few controls on

industries which cause pollution.

Cubatao, an industrial town of 85,000 people in Brazil, is an

example of the connection between industrial development

and pollution. In 1954, Cubatao had no industry. Today it has

more than twenty large factories, which produce many

pollutants. The people of the town are exposed to a large

number of poisonous substances in their environment and the

consequences of this exposure can be clearly seen. Birth

defects are extremely common. Among children and adults,

lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in

other places. It is true that Brazil, like many other countries, has laws

against pollution, but these laws are not enforced strictly

enough. It is cheaper for companies to ignore the laws and

pay the fines than to buy the expensive equipment that will

reduce the pollution. It is clear, therefore, that economic

growth is more important to the government than the health

of the workers. However, the responsibility does not

completely lie with the Brazilian government. The example of

Cubatao shows that international companies are not acting in

a responsible way, either. A number of the factories in the

town are owned by large companies from France, Italy, and

the U. S. They are doing things in Brazil that they would not

be able to do at home. If they caused the same amount of

pollution at home, they would be severely punished or even

put out of business.

Why don’t developing countries have strict pollution controls?

所选答案：

D. Because if developing countries put stricter controls on industry, fewer companies would build new plants there.

问题33

所选答案：

C. To show that industrial growth causes pollution problems for developing countries.

问题34得 2 分，满分 2 分Why do some foreign companies like to set up their plants in

Brazil?

所选答案：

B. Because they will not be severely punished if they cause pollution in Brazil.

问题35

which of the following?

所选答案： B. carried out 问题36

所选答案：

D. In Brazil, companies which ignore pollution laws have to pay fines.
