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 beween. Healso decided to write about the experience and produced a guide for other travelers 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 less than £100.
This has made ahuge 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 height 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 fora £100 green tax on all flights to Europe and Africa, and £250 on flights to the rest of the world. He also wants investment to create a low-carbon economy,as well as a halt to airport expansion.
Mark Ellingham‘s commitmentis 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 foreignculture. They 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 just be carbon neutral. We should be actively cuttingback on putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And for the average person,making a plane journey will be his or her largest contribution to globalwarming. It may be good to repair the damage we do. But surely it is better notto do the damage 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 flight 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 toencourage people to travel by
A. Right B. Wrong C.Not mentioned
20. Mark Ellingham's readers are not interested inenvironmental protection.
A. Right B. Wrong C.Not mentioned
21. Critics argue that the best way to protect ourenvironment is not to do any damage to it.
A. Right B. Wrong C.Not mentioned
22. Mark Ellingham will collaborate with thecritics in his efforts to fight global warming.
A. Right B. Wrong C.Not mentioned
第3部分:概括大意与完成句子(第23——30题,每题1分,共8分)

Feed the World with Potatoes
1. As food prices continue to rise rapidly,there is growing concern about the effect it will have among the world‘s poor.
2. Increasingly, experts are looking to thepotato 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 potatoes could end the food crisis.
3. The potato matures more quickly, on less land and in harsher climate 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 note worthy.
4. Potatoes are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, which is 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 calcium as corn. Additionally, they are good source of vitamin C, iron, potassium(钾)and zinc(锌)。
5. The food and Agriculture 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 significant factor behind the potato‘ s affordability is the fact that unlike other agriculture products, the potato is not yet a global commodity, and has therefore not attracted speculative investors. Raw potatoes are heavy and carrot during transmit, so global trade has been show to take off. Also, 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.

第4部分
第一篇Ethnic Tensions in Belgium
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 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 Filp Dewinter, the leader of the Flemish 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 Wallonla, 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 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, and 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 previous 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 Baudouln Bruggeman, a 55-year-old school-teacher.“ Belgium has survived on compromise since 1930. You have to remember that this is Magritte's country, the country of surrealism. Anything can happen.”

ElectricBackpack
Backpacksare convenient.They can hold your books,your lunch,and achange ofclothes,leaving your hands free to do other things.Someday,if youdont mindcarrying a heavy load,your backpacks might also power your MP31player,keep yourcell phone running,and maybe even light your wayhome.
LawrenceC.Rome and his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia2and the Marine Biological Laboratory in WoodsHole3,Mass.4,have invented abackpack that makes electricity from energyproduced while its wearer walks.Inmilitary actions,search-and-rescueoperations,and scientific fieldstudies,people rely increasingly on cellphones,global positioning system (GPS)5 receivers,night-vision goggles,andother battery powered devices to get aroundand do their work.The backpackselectricity- generating feature coulddramatically reduce the amount of awearer‘s load now devoted to spare batteries,report Rome and his colleaguesinthe Sept.9 Science6.
Thebackpacks electricity-creating powers depend onsprings used to hang a clothpack from its metal frame.The frame sits againstthe wearer‘s back,and the whole pack moves upand down as the person walks.Agear mechanism converts vertical movements of thepack to rotary motions of anelectrical generator,producing up to 7.4 watts.
Unexpectedly,testsshowedthat wearers of the new backpack alter their gaits in response to thepacksoscillations,so that they carry loads more comfortably and with lesseffortthan they do ordinary backpacks.Because of that surprising advantage,Romeplans to commercialize both electric and non-electric versionsof the backpack.
The backpackcould be especially useful orsoldiers,scientists,mountaineers,and emergencyworkers who typically carryheavy backpacks.For the rest of us,power-generatingbackpacks could make itpossible to walk,play video games,watch TV,and listen tomusic,all at the sametime.Electricity-generating packs arent on the marketyet,but if you do get one eventually,just make sure to look both ways beforecrossing thestreet!
1.Backpacks are convenient because
答案: yourhands are freed to do other things.
2.What is the most important feature of the backpack invented byLawrence C.Romeand his colleagues?
答案: Itproduces electricity forelectronic devices while the wearer walks.

答案: a lengthof metal woundaround,which returns to its original shape after
being pushed.

Covering the Coast All by Himself
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 jobs to pay for his tuition and living expenses. Last semester alone, he worked five jobs for 32-40 hours a week. Life is busy, 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 the 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 university’s computer labs. For the other, he worked at the IT service desk to help 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 thework. ”
Good time management skills help Kemp balance work and study. He‘s a top student in his class. And he will be the student association chairman for his department beginning next semester. It’s a position that he has desired for a long time.“It will give me the opportunity to be the voice for my fellow students and make a difference,” says Kemp.
“I believe one of the key secrets to juggling(应付)everything is toavoid putting off tasks. This can leave you stressed and reduce the quality ofyour work and health,” he said.
“I often make a list of the things I need to do each day and rank them by their importance. The list helps me decide what task I should do first and when I should complete it. Remember to ask for help when you think you can‘t finish something on time, or can’ t finish it by yourself. ”

US Signs Global Tobacco Treaty
1 The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) this week at the United Nations. (46)
2 The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly,including the United States,last year. (47)
3 For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack. (48)It also requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States, where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban.
4 (49) The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year. In the US alone, about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses; about one-third of all cancers in the US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year.
5 The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect. (50)
A Tobacco stocks also perked up as investions discouried fears ** of from the US.
B So far,109 countries have signed it, and 12 have ratified it.
C The impact of the treaty could be huge.
D Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.
E The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes, restrictions on smoking in public places, and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs.
F The Senate must still approve the treaty before the US can implement its provisions.
