Without this, whatever else is done, the world’s inability to provide enough food seems inevitable. Up until about 1950, growth in the world’s food supply came almost entirely from expanding the amount of land under cultivation. Since then, it has come increasingly from highenergy inputs of chemical fertilizers that new high-yield varieties of crops depend upon, of pesticides and herbicides, and of fuel to run _______ tractors and other mechanical equipment, including irrigation pumps. The source of almost all this energy is oil, yet, although the demand for food is projected to rise until at least the middle of the 21st century, oil supplies are diminishing and becoming more expensive. Surely, these trends will continue. Insufficient food supplies are bound to result in increased structural violence in the form of higher death rates in the world’s “underdeveloped” countries. This surely will have an impact on the “developed” countries, with their relatively stable populations and high living standards. It is hard to imagine how such countries could exist peacefully side by side with others experiencing high death rates and abysmally low living standards. (In 1993, 1.3 billion people lived on less than $ 1 per day and another 3 billion lived on less than $2 per day; the situation today is no better.) Already, the combination of overpopulation and poverty is causing a rising tide of migration from the impoverished to the more affluent countries of Europe and North America, with a consequent rise of intolerance, antiforeign feeling, and general social unrest. 46. What becomes necessary if the future’s problems are to be solved ? (A) Equitable distribution (B) Population stabilization (C) Political stabilization (D) Environmental protection 47. The major reason for the growth in world food supply after 1950 (A) High energy fertilizers (B) Pesticides and herbicides (C) Fuel to run tractors (D) All the above 48. Insufficient food supply is one of the reasons for the structural violence in (A) Developed countries (B) Developing countries (C) Underdeveloped countries (D) In the whole world 49. A general social unrest results from (A) Poverty and overpopulation (B) Migration (C) High living standards (D) Low death rates 50. By the middle of 21st century the demand is going to increase for (A) Power (B) Population (C) Food (D) Water |
