1.【C1】
J
解析：动词辨析题。空格位于have been之后，由语法知识可知，空格处缺少一个过去分词形式的动词。由下文的转折词however可知，此句意思应与下一句相反。下一句提到“然而现在，这种超出需求的欲望引起了一些严重的问题”，故推测此句想要表达的意思是：在早期，我们对物质财富的追求被认为是合理的，故J项justified“证明……正当(合理)”为本题答案。
2.【C2】
B
解析：副词辨析题。本句基本结构完整，因此可以判定需填入一个副词，修饰动词causing。备选副词中，rigidly意为“严厉地，严格地”，与句意不符，故排除；constantly意为“经常地，不断地”，在此强调“不断地引起严重问题”，符合句意，故B为本题答案。
3.【C3】
I
解析：名词辨析题。空格位于形容词good之后，因此可以判定需填入一个名词。根据句意“即使我们的________是好的，但我们可能生产得过多、过快”，备选名词中，intention“意图，目的”符合句意，故I为本题答案。
4.【C4】
A
解析：动词辨析题。空格位于is之后，分析句子结构可知，空格处应填入一个动词的现在分词形式。由空格后提到的limits和本段最后一句提到的“As society reaches these limits…”可知，所填词应与reaches的意思相近，备选动词中，approaching“接近，靠近”符合句意，故A为本题答案。
5.【C5】
K
解析：形容词辨析题。空格位于形容词possible之后、名词effects之前，根据句子结构可知，空格处应填入一个形容词，修饰effects。根据本句的并列宾语“有限的自然资源供给”和“不断增长的世界人口”可知，工业对自然环境的影响也应是负面的，备选形容词中，negative“有害的，不良的”符合句意，故K为本题答案。
6.【C6】
C
解析：动词辨析题。空格位于情态动词will之后，根据句子结构可知，所填词应为动词，且为动词原形。由前面提到的economic growth can no longer continue(经济增长无法持续)可知，and后面的内容表达的意思应与前面一致，即生活质量也将下降，备选动词中，decrease “降低”符合句意，故C为本题答案。
7.【C7】
M
解析：名词辨析题。空格位于代词these之后、介词of之前，分析句子结构可知，所填词应为名词，且为复数形式。由空格后提到的only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world(只有更快的经济增长才能为全世界人民生活质量的改善创造所需的资本)可知，这是经济增长支持者的观点，故M项proponents“支持者，拥护者”为本题答案。
