baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to beingprocessedat departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. no wonder, then, that the modern high- speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. the working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. the holiday- maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. speed controls peoples lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thingor so we are told. perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. they could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.1. what does the writer try to express in paragraph 1?a. travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.b. the speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.c. the freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.d. man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.2. how does the writer support the underlined statement in paragraph 2?a. by giving instructions.b. by analyzing cause and effect.c. by following the order of time.d. by giving examples.3. according to paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern high- speed trains because.a. they pay less for the ticketsb. they feel safer during the travelc. they can enjoy higher speed of traveld. they dont have to waste time beingprocessed4. what does the last sentence of the passage mean?a. they could enjoy free and relaxing travel.b. they needed the clock to tell the time.c. they preferred traveling on horseback.d. they could travel with their master.5. what is the main idea of the passage?a. air travel benefits people and industries.b. train travel has some advantages over air travel.c. great changes have taken place in modern travel.d. the high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.【参考答案】46.bddad the world economy has run into a brick wall. despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. the result is a global food crisis. wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. and oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004. these food-price increases, combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. practical solutions to these problems do exist, but well have to start thinking ahead and acting globally. here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. the first is to promote the dramatic success of malawi, a country in southern africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. malawis harvest doubled after just one year. an international fund based on the malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion altogether. second, the u. s. and europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. the u. s. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol(乙醇) changed from corn. there may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foodstree crops, grasses and wood productsbut theres no case for the government to pay to put the worlds dinner into the gas tank. third, we urgently need to weather-proof the worlds crops as soon and as effectively as possible. for a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pondwhich collects rainwater to be used in dry weathercan make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. the world has already committed to establishing a climate adaptation fund to help poor regi
