The fireball outside Paris Tuesday was the supersonic

11、jet“s first fatal accident ever in 24 years of regular operation. And Air France officials said their current fleet was fit to fly safely until 2007. Yet the plane had been having mishapslittle things. In October a piece of tail fell off in midflight. Last January, within a span of 24 hours, two Bri

12、tish Airways Concordes had to make emergency landings for technical reasonsone engine failure, one mysterious false alarm. A few months ago, small cracks, said to be “microscopic“ in size, were detected in all seven British Concordes, a British Airways spokeswoman said Monday; one of them was ground

13、ed because the cracks had gotten wider. Has the Concorde hit old age ahead of schedule? Only 20 of the supersonic passenger jets were ever built, of which 13 are still in service, operated by British Airways and Air France. They were all built between 1975 and 1980. Both companies hope to keep the p

14、lanes flying for another 14 or 15 years, and in fact both have recently upped their estimate of the number of “cycles“roughly one transatlantic flightthe plane could stand, to 8,500. By this calculation, the planes are cleared for takeoff until 2006 at least. This view is supported by the fact that

15、although its flights are high-stress and its takeoff and landing more labored than other planes, the Concorde makes only about a fifth of the trips more popular. After the crash, Air France asserted, perhaps prematurely, that the crash was due not to any wing problem, like sneaking cracks, but to an

16、 exploding engine. That makes it the fastest investigation on record. They have not grounded the fleet beyond a thorough maintenance cheek, which on these delicate birds, with their 30-year-old technology, will be expensive. British Airways says its Concordes gave the company prestige, shuttling the

17、 swells on their surprisingly cramped, 1,336-mph passage at $10,000 a head. Take a trip aboard and one must have been like joining an exclusive but rather cramped and uncomfortable club. But part of its charmto the small number of people who flew itwas that it was superior to the other planes, safer

18、. For the price of a ticket, you were buying a guarantee. If British and French industry officials, who built the Concorde together in the 60s as a kind of supersonic dove, decide that feeling is gone forever with Tuesday“s catastrophe, then it“s not hard to imagine that they will seriously consider

19、 retiring this distinctive, one-of-a-kind aircraft.（分数：10.00）(1).The reason why the Concorde crashed is that _.（分数：2.00）A.one engine failedB.its engine explodedC.a piece of tail fell offD.the cracks had gotten wider(2).Concordes are expected to fly _ 8,500 times in the coming 14 or 15 years.（分数：2.00

22、ce facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as self-evident statem

23、ent than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way, this does not mean, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in whic

24、h the inhabitants are using these spaces. As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities. The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has be

25、en used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that

26、this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street-door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activi

27、ties as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect. The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the

28、 risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the author, the importance of greenspaces in the

29、urban environment _.（分数：2.00）A.is still unknownB.is usually neglectedC.is being closely studiedD.has been fully recognized(2).The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _.（分数：2.00）A.the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhoodB.the location of

30、recreation facilities far from homeC.relatively little attention for recreative possibilitiesD.the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood(3).The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspace should be provided _.（分数：2.00）A.in special areasB.in the suburbsC.in t

31、he neighborhood of the houseD.in gardens and parks(4).According to the author, greenspace facilities should be designed in such a way that _.（分数：2.00）A.more obligatory activities take on a recreation aspectB.more and more people might have access to themC.an increasing number of recreative might be

32、developedD.recreative activities might be brought into our homes(5).The main idea of the passage is that _.（分数：2.00）A.better use of greenspace facilities should be made so as to improve the quality of our lifeB.attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilitiesC.the urban envi

33、ronment is providing more recreation activities than it did many years agoD.priority must be given to the development of obligatory activitiesIn the United States, tourism is ranked 1 the third largest retail industry behind food and auto sales.

34、m is often thought of as leisure travel, it also encompasses business and convention travel, meetings, seminars, recreation and study travel (if less than a year) and transportation services and accommodations. According to the U.S. Travel Data Center, travel and tourism 4 about $397 billion in dome

35、stic spending in the United States, 5 expenditures by foreign travelers here in 1993. During the 6 10 years, tourism employment has grown 7 56.3 percent and now totals over 6 million direct jobs. This is more 8 twice the job rate increase for the economy as a 9 . Every job in tourism generates three
