29、on cubic metres of water.Based on the price of adding reservoir(水 库)capacities inCalifornia,meeting basic water shortages could cost$549 billion if climate change is factored in.Higher water prices wouldmake the adaptation even more expensive if no water could be found at all in the drier future.But

30、 even beyond the mere cost of creating more reservoirs,theres no denying the fact that a hotter,drier Southwestwill demand more and more energy for cooling.Theres another fact that climate change will make cities in states likeNevada and New Mexico far less sustainable than they already are.Theres a

31、lso the fact that a warmer climate will have along-lasting impact on the regions ecosystem.Previous study has noted that climate change may convert the AmericanSouthwest into a permanent desert.Its certainly possible that it will be too expensive to build reservoirs for some suburbs and communities

32、and we couldsee an exodus(大批人同时离开)from the region;but thats almost suitable to change,because communities pay for theextremely inefficient processes of pumping in water from out of the states.28.What is the best title for this passage?A.American Southwest Is Short of WaterB.Climate Change Will Make

38、s not just a new kind of mechanization but arevolutionary force capable of overturning our social order.Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient-and thusmore valuable-automation threatens to make them superfluous(过剩的)-and thus without value.The opinions I have citedhere represent extreme po

39、sitions,and there were also many milder views.But I think its fair to say that most early studentsof automation,including both critics and enthusiasts,believed the new technology would lead us into a world where peopleworked much less.As for economic consequences,worries about unemployment have cert

40、ainly not gone away-not with job losses in thecurrent recession approaching 2 million workers in our country alone.But recent job losses are commonly attributed tocauses other than automation,such as competition from overseas or a roller-coaster financial system.In any case,the visionof a world wher
