yes, according to three quarters of travellers in a poll. a survey by the travel website skyscanner found that 76 percent of people believe airlines should charge a fat tax. only 22 percent of the 550 people questioned disapproved of （反对）introducing extra payments to overweight passengers. the poll was conducted after a heated debate that started after air france was misreported earlier this month to be planning an extra charge for the passenger unable to fill into a single seat. skyscanner co-founder barry smith said the so-called fat tax was very sensitive issue for airlines that would need to act carefully so as not to alienate (疏远) overweight passengers.on one hand, its not unreasonable for airlines to charge passenger extra if they take up more than one seat. on the other hand, many would argue that it should be the responsibility of airlines to adjust their seat sizes, enabling them to suit all passengers, he said in a statement. some people in the poll said it was airlines responsibility to make seats for all sizes of passengers, while the others suggested that the charge should be calculated（计算） on the weights of passengers plus their luggage. in the united states, southwest airlines and united airlines have a policy where an overweight passenger needs to buy a second seat and can claim a refund(退款) if the plane is not full. this followed complaints from neighbouring passengers. the supreme court in canada ruled that overweight people travelling on airplanes cannot be forced to buy second seats.53. the survey carried out by skyscanner mainly discusses _.a. whether airlines should change seats to suit all passengersb. whether passengers should pay taxes for their luggage c. whether an overweight passenger can take a second seat by paying more d. whether airlines should charge an overweight passenger for another seat54. how many people voted yes in the survey carried out by skyscanner?a. 418. b. 132. c. 326. d. 112.55. the website skyscanner carried out the survey because_.a. there were too many complaints from passengersb. airlines were under pressure from people against their planc. most passengers were not satisfied with the services of airlinesd. opinions were widely divided on a misreported plan of air france56. whats barry smiths attitude towards the fat tax?a. positive b. anxious c. objective （客观的） d. curiousd its interesting that the arrival of snow has different effects on people in different countries. for some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others a catastrophe（灾难） or even a wonder.but there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simple creates problems. within hours of the first snowfalls, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. normal communication is affected as well telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. and almost within hours there are also certain shortages（短缺） -bread, vegetables and other things - not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened and go out and store up with food and so “just for fear that something bad should happen”.but why does snow have this effect? after all, the swiss, the austrians and the canadians dont have such problems. it is simple because there is not enough planning and preparation. we need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. to keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow-ploughs（扫雪机） and machines to spread（撒） salt. the reason why a country like britain does not buy snow-ploughs in that they are only used for a few days in the year, and that money could be more useful for other things such as hospitals, education, helping the old, and so on.57. according to the writer, britain is a country_.a. which has regular snow b. which is not well prepared for snowc. for which snow is a catastrophed. for which snow is a wonder58.the arrival of snow in britain affects all of the following, except_. a. traffic b. communication c. food supplies d. service quality59. after a few hours snowing there are often some shortages of food because_. a. shops have closed down b. people buy as much as they can c. farmers cant produce any more d. people eat more vegetables in winter60. the underlined words “two kinds” mean the countries _. a. which have snow either as a yearly happening to celebrate or as rare weather. b. which either have heavy snow or light snow c. to which snow either causes problems or no problems d. which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughs第四部分 六选五（每题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从下面的a-f选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，涂在答题卡上。注意：此题答案请涂在答题卡76-80a. review regularly b. make good use of class time c. find a good place to study d. plan your time carefully e. scan before you read f. take notes in class maybe you are an average student with an average intelligent. you probably think you will never be a top student. this is not necessarily so. anyone can become a better scholar if he or she wants to be. the following suggestions may be helpful to you61. when you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. be sure to set aside enough time to complete the work that you are normally assigned each week. of course, studying shouldnt occupy all of your free time. dont forget to set aside enough time entertainment, hobbies and relaxation.62. look around the house for a good study area. keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything, but study materials. no radio or television! when you sit to work, concentrate on the subject!63.this means looking a passage over quickly but thoroughly before you begin to read it more carefully. scanning a passage lets you preview the material and get a general idea of the content. scanning will help you double your reading speed and improve your comprehension.64. take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. really listening in class means less work later. taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.65. when you get home from school, go over your notes. review the important points that your teacher mentioned in
