7、择 C。 15 Time to Stop Traveling by Air Twenty-five years ago a young British man called Mark Ellingham decided that he wanted a change of scenery. So he went to Australia, stopping off in many countries in between. He also decided to write about the experience and produced a guide for other travelers
8、 making similar journeys. In 1970,British airports were used by 32 million people. In 2004,the figure was 216 million. In 2030,according to government forecasts, it will be around 500 million. It s a growth driven by the emergence of low cost airlines, offering access to all parts of the world for l
9、ess than 100. This has made a huge contribution to global warming. One return flight from Britain to the US produces the same carbon dioxide(二氧化碳 )as a year s motoring(驾车 ). A return flight to Australia equals the emissions(排放 )of three average cars for a year. And the pollution is released at a hei
10、ght where its effect on climate change is more than double that on the ground. Mark Ellingham built his business on helping people travel. Now he wants to help people stop at least by air. He is calling for a 100 green tax on all flights to Europe and Africa, and 250 on flights to the rest of the wo
11、rld. He also wants investment to create a low-carbon economy, as well as a halt to airport expansion. Mark Ellingham s commitment is important because his readers aren t just the sort of young and adventurous people who would happily jump on a plane to spend a weekend exploring a foreign culture. Th
12、ey are also the sort of people who say they care about the environment. It s a debate that splits people down the middle. The tourist industry has responded by offering offsetting(补偿 )schemes. A small increase in the price of a ticket is used to plant trees. But critics say that it is not enough to
13、just be carbon neutral. We should be actively cutting back on putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And for the average person, making a plane journey will be his or her largest contribution to global warming. It may be good to repair the damage we do. But surely it is better not to do the d
14、amage in the first place. 16 Mark Ellingham spent quite a few days in China on his way to Australia 25 years ago. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 Traveling from Britain to any other part of the world may cost you less than 100. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 A round trip fli
15、ght from Britain to Australia produces the same amount of carbon dioxide as three average cars do in a year. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 19 Mark Ellingham has never hesitated to encourage people to travel by air. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 20 Mark Ellingham s readers are n

18、it will have among the world s poor. 2 Increasingly, experts are looking to the potato as a possible low-cost solution to feeding the hungry. To emphasize the issue, the United Nations has called the potato “ a hidden treasure“ , and named 2008 the International Year of the Potato. Here s how potato
19、es could end the food crisis. 3 The potato matures more quickly, on less land and in harsher climates than most other major crops. Up to 85 percent of the plant is eatable, compared with around 50 percent of cereals. Its broad adaptability to a wide variety of farming systems is also noteworthy. 4 P
20、otatoes are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物 ), which release their energy slowly, and have only 5 percent of wheat s fat content. They contain only a quarter of the calories of bread and, according to the Potato Center, when boiled, potatoes have more protein and nearly twice the
21、calcium(钙 )as corn. Additionally, they are good sources of vitamin C,iron, potassium(钾 )and zinc(锌 ). 5 The Food and Agricultural Organization recently surveyed food price inflation in over 70 of the poor countries. Cereal price inflation was much higher and far more widespread than for potatoes. A
22、significant factor behind the potato s affordability is the fact that unlike other agricultural products, the potato is not yet a global commodity, and has therefore not attracted speculative investors. Raw potatoes are heavy and can rot during transit, so global trade has been slow to take off. Als
23、o, potatoes are susceptible(易受影响的 )to infection with disease, hindering(阻碍 )export. According to analysts estimates, less than 5 percent of potatoes are traded internationally, with prices driven primarily by local tastes instead of international demand.

26、gium Belgium has given the world Audrey Hepburn,Rene Magritte(surrealist artist),the saxophone(萨克斯管 )and deep-fried potato chips that are somehow called French. But the story behind this flat, twice-Beijing-size country is of a bad marriage between two nationalities living together that cannot stand
27、 each other. With no new government, more than a hundred days after a general election, rumors run wild that the country is about to disappear. “ We are two different nations, an artificial state. With nothing in common except a king, chocolate and beer“ ,said Filip Dewinter, the leader of the Flemi
28、sh Bloc, the extreme-right Flemish party. Radical Flemish separatists like Mr. Dewinter want to divide the country horizontally along ethnic and economic lines: to the north, Flanders where Dutch(known locally as Flemish)is spoken and money is increasingly made;to the south, French-speaking Wallonia
29、, where today old factories dominate the landscape. The area of present-day Belgium passed to the French in the 18th century. Following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815,Belgium was given to the kingdom of the Netherlands, from which it gained independence as a separate kingdom in 1830. Since then, it
30、has struggled for cohesion(结合 ). Anyone who has spoken French in a Flemish city quickly gets a sense of the mutual hostility that is part of daily life there. But there are reasons Belgium is likely to stay together, at least in the short term. The economies of the two regions are tightly linked, an
31、d separation would be a financial nightmare. But there is also deep resentment in Flanders that its much healthier economy must subsidize(补贴 )the south,where unemployment is double that of the north. French speakers in the south, meanwhile,favor the status quo(现状 ). Belgium has made it through previ
32、ous threats of division. Although some political analysts believe this one is different, there is no panic just now. “We must not worry too much,“ said Baudouin Bruggeman, a 55-year-old school-teacher. “Belgium has survived on compromise since 1930. You have to remember that this is Magritte s count
33、ry, the country of surrealism. Anything can happen. “ 31 Who was Magritte? （ A） A French novelist. （ B） A saxophonist. （ C） A separatist. （ D） A surrealist artist. 32 When did Belgium become an independent kingdom? （ A） In 1800. （ B） In 1830. （ C） In 1815. （ D） In 1930. 33 Which statement about Belg
34、ium is NOT true? （ A） It is twice as big as Beijing. （ B） It has two major ethnic groups. （ C） It has gone through quite a few threats of division. （ D） It has no government. 34 What does this passage mainly talk about? （ A） Surrealist artists. （ B） Belgium s economy. （ C） Cultural clashes in Belgiu
35、m. （ D） Music in Belgium. 35 The word “stand“ in Paragraph 2 means_. （ A） handle （ B） meet （ C） combine （ D） bear 35 Electric Backpack Backpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, and a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don t mind carry
36、ing a heavy load, your backpacks might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, and maybe even light your way home. Lawrence C. Rome and his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its
37、wearer walks. In military actions,search-and-rescue operations, and scientific field studies, people rely increasingly on cell phones, global positioning system(GPS)receivers(接收器 ),night-vision goggles(夜视镜 ),and other battery-powered devices to get around and do their work. The backpack s electricit
38、y-generating feature could greatly reduce the amount of a wearer s load now devoted to spare batteries. The backpack s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The whole pack moves up and down as the person walks. A special mechanism converts move
39、ments of the pack to electricity, which can be as much as 7.4 watts. Unexpectedly, tests showed that wearers of the new backpack alter their gaits(步法 )in response to the pack s oscillations(摆动 ),so that they carry loads more comfortably and with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks. Because o
40、f that surprising advantage, Rome plans to commercialize both electric and nonelectric versions of the backpack. The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers, scientists, mountaineers(登山运动员 ), and emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. For the rest of us, power-generating bac
41、kpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, and listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street! 36 Backpacks are very convenient because
42、 they an_. （ A） change your gaits （ B） reduce your load （ C） free your hands （ D） control your MP3 player 37 What is special about the backpack invented by Rome and his colleagues? （ A） It is easy to carry. （ B） It produces electricity while the wearer walks. （ C） It is fashionable. （ D） It can be u
43、sed in military actions and scientific studies. 38 The word “springs“ in Paragraph 3 means_. （ A） the act of jumping or leaping （ B） something that returns to its original shape after being pressed （ C） the first season of the year （ D） places where water comes up naturally from the ground 39 Accord
44、ing to Paragraph 4, Rome plans to_. （ A） make the backpack more comfortable for the wearer （ B） replace the non-electric version with the electric one （ C） put both versions of the backpack on the market （ D） promote the backpack on television 40 The last sentence “ if you do get one eventually, jus
45、t make sure to look both ways before crossing the street! “ implies_. （ A） the backpack may be a cause of an accident （ B） you will be too excited to listen to music （ C） it is not fashionable to wear such a backpack （ D） it is unwise of you to have such a backpack 40 Covering the Cost All by Himsel
46、f University life is in no way cheap in Canada. It costs Peter Kemp, a computer science major at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in Vancouver, C $ 18 ,000 a year. Amazingly, the 21-year-old is covering the cost by himself. For the past three years, Kemp has done a range of part-time job
47、s to pay for his tuition(学费 )and living expenses. Last semester alone, he worked five jobs for 32 40 hours a week. Life is bus-y, but Kemp enjoys it. “ Doing part-time jobs gives me economic independence,“ said Kemp, who will begin his senior year this fall. “ Having economic independence gives me t
48、he ability to take control of my life and make my own decisions,“said Kemp. “It has also helped me understand the value of money. “ Among Kemp s five jobs last semester,two were on campus. For one,he helped maintain the universitys computer labs. For the other, he worked at the IT service desk to he
49、lp students and teachers solve their computer problems. He also worked for a small company that develops GPS systems. This job paid him well at C $ 27 an hours. “These jobs made me put what I ve learned in university to practical use,“ Kemp said. “I accomplished creative and imaginative tasks by applying my abilities to the work. “ Good time management skills help Kemp balance work and study. Hes a top student in his class. An
