Here are some letters from our readers. Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders. People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision. The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others. Michael Horan I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads. I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me. The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used. The police do nothing. What a laugh they are! The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jacket and lights at night and in the morning they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them. Carol Harvey Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red. I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him. Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules, so why not cyclists?Its about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim.JML Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.21. What did Michael Horan want to show in his letter?A. Drivers should be polite to cyclists B. Road accidents can actually be avoidedC. Pedestrians are a threat to road safety D. Walking while using phones hurts ones eyes22. What does Carol Harvey suggest cyclists to do?A. be provided with enough roads B. be asked to ride on their own lanesC. be made to pay less tax for cycling D. be fined for laughing at policemen23. What does the underlined word they in the third letter refers to?A. accidentsB. vehiclesC. pedestrians D. cyclists24. What viewpoints are presented in these three letters?A. real source of road danger B. ways to improve road facilitiesC. measures to punish road offencesD. increased awareness of road rulesBAccording to the International Ecotourism Society, eco-travel is “responsible travel to natural areas that protects the environment, maintains the well-beings and involves education”. Eco-travel is on the rise, as more and more people become conscious about their carbon footprint.Expert from Boundless Journeys, Matt Holmes, who works on travel experiences towards conserving areas said, “As scientists and non-scientists learn more about how we human beings are impacting the planet, I think. more people want to do what they can while still exploring the world. Our guests are definitely interested in that aspect of our journeys. Travelers can farm their own food in Italy, managing their use of water and using solar or wind power. They can also visit family-run camp that cares for retired logging elephants in Myanmar, know a park entry fee goes to a conservation organization in Costa Rica, employ and train members of the local community or partner with a protection group. There are lots of options for seeking out greener holiday.”Most people believe that eco-travel is expensive and it is true. Matt explained “Anti-poaching patrols (巡逻) need to be paid, solar energy equipment costs a lot to install, building with environmentally friendly, materials is more expensive and so on. The extra cost is necessary, as you re paying to minimize your footprint and protect the places you visit, which is exactly what eco-travel is about. The financial success and sustainability (可持续性) of an eco-travel focused operation doesnt come from thin air.” The industry is trying to make eco-travel affordable and make it accessible to the common people.25. What is the positive influence of eco-friendly travel?A. It enables travelers to protect the environment while travelingB. It keeps human beings healthy and happy in a friendly atmosphere.C. It teaches us to be responsible for the development of economy.D. It offers some valuable education about the knowledge of gardening.26. According to Matt Holmes, travelers will be interested in _.A. eating delicious food in ItalyB. visiting elephants in the zooC. working together with a protection groupD. raising park entry fee in Costa Rica27. What will probably be talked about in the next paragraph of the passage?A. Why eco-travel is expensive.B. How we can make eco-travel less expensive.C. What material are used in eco-travel.D. Where we can go for eco-travel.C The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the Citys private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mints directors and won their support. Mint has committed around 500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlops business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior(外部的) advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonhury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.28“Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents .A. economically desirableB. favorable to the environmentC. for holding music performancesD. designed for disaster relief29. Mr. Dunlop established his business .A. independently with an interest-free loan from MintB. with the approval of the Citys administrationC. in partnership with a finance groupD. with the help of a Japanese architect30. It is implied in the passage that .A. the weather in the UK. is changeable in summerB. most performances at British festivals are given in the open airC. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailoredD. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users31. The passage is mainly concerned with .A. an attempt at developing recyclable tentsB. some efforts at making full use of cardboardsC. an unusual success of a graduation project D. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivalsDSports accounts for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract views from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sports programs for the major U.S. media company is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming. Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings(收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs dont need high ratings to stay on the air.32. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A. Because there would be few viewersB. Because the advertisers would be off work.C. Because television programs would go slowly.D. Because viewers would pay less for watching television.33. In many families, men make decisions on _.A. holiday trips B. sports viewing C. television shopping D. expensive purchases34. Why are the ratings not important for golf and tennis programs?A. their advertisers are carmakers B. their viewers are attracted by sportsC. their advertisers target at rich people. D. their viewers can afford expensive cars35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Television ratings are determined by male viewers.B. Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.C. Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.D. Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How the Elderly Are Treated Around the WorldHow cultures view and treat their elderly is closely linked to their most prized values and qualities. 36 In the US and UK, Protestantism (新教) is at play.
