问题     People are making more and more demands for the world’s natural resources. If babies born in 1991 live for 80 years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with between 10 and 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be a significant decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they will have been sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.
    Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing global warming, and eating less meat may go some way to help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the "baby class" of 1991?
    There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments; as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and as individual citizens.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the last paragraph as people responsible for the present state of the world?
选项 A、Officials.
B、Factory owners.
C、Businessmen.
D、Scientists.
答案C
解析 根据最后一段“…people are responsible for the present state of the world…The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments; as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists…”可知，人们对世界的现状负有责任；这些解决问题的决定必须由作为国家和地方政府的成员们、工业的领导者和决策者、科学家和技术专家等做出，所以A项(官员)、B项(工厂主)和D项(科学家)均是要对世界的现状负责并为解决问题做出决定的人群。C项(商人)在文中并未提及。故选C。
