阅读理解 One of the great intellectual conflicts of the early part of the 21st century concerns the role of man here on planet Earth. Some, like the followers of Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich— author of The Population Bomb—hold that mankind's role boils down to that of exploiter of the Earth's resources and despoiler of its natural beauty.

B、 concerns human being's positive effects on environment
C、 arouses strong controversy in political, cultural and academic fields
D、 condemns what the technology and progress have brought to us

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】细节题。由题干关键词Stanford University biologist’s opinion定位到第一段。该段第二句提到斯坦福大学的生物学家的追随者们认为人类是地球资源的开拓者和大自然美景的掠夺者；接着第三段指出这一观点是反人类和反人道主义的，是谴责人类进步的，故D项符合题意。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】含义题。由题干指示定位到第三段第一句It is an antihuman，antihumanist view,one that decries human achievement rather than celebrating it，由句子结构可知decries与celebrating(颂扬)意思相反。又根据文意可知斯坦福大学的生物学家认为人类是地球的破坏者，因此他是谴责而非颂扬人类成就，decry与condemn(谴责)同义，故B项为正确答案。

A、 limitation of human's capacity
B、 condemnation of human despoliation
C、 commemoration of human achievement
D、 combatant of global warming

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】细节题。由题干关键词CEI和“Earth Hour”定位到第五段。该段第二句提到，CEI研究人员认为人类进步和科技创新使人类生活变得更好，因此3月26日“地球一小时”是“人类成果一小时”，即它是用来纪念人类成就的，故C项符合文意。

A、 The backwards thinking has been widely accepted in western countries.
B、 Al Core and Thomas Hobbes held the same view on human progress.
