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. Its 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 years 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 Ellinghams commitmentis important because his readers arent 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.Its 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.

As food prices continue to rise rapidly,there is growing concern about the effect it will have among the worlds poor.2.

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 Kemps 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 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 Ive 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. Hes a top student in his class. And he will be the student association chairman for his department beginning next semester. Its 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 cant finish something on time, or can t finish it by yourself. ” 31Who isPeter Kemp?AA computer studentBAn American studentCA French studentDA British student32 How did he manage to pay his tuition and living expenses?AHe did a variety of part-time jobs.BHe wona few scholarships.CHe borrowed money from his parents.DHe obtained cheap loans from the bank.33Which of the following is NOT directly mentioned in the passage as an advantage of having economic independence?Ait makes one understand that life is not easy.Bit helpsone know the value of money.Cit gives one the ability to control his or her life.Dit enable one to make his or her own decisions.34 Kemp is able to balance work and study due to hisAstrong will power.Bexceptional intelligence.Cdesire to become a leader.Dgood management of time.35The phrase “putting off” in Paragraph 7 meansAperforming.Bfulfilling.Cfinishing.Dpostponing第二篇 Ethnic Tensions in BelgiumBelgium 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. Flanderswhere 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 Magrittes country, the country of surrealism. Anything can happen.36.

F (46)The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly，including the United States，last year. D (47)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. E (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.
