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 between. He also 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 a huge contribution to global warming. One return flight from Britain to the US produces the same carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)as a year? smotoring (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 for a ￡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 commitment is 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 foreign culture. 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 cutting back on putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And for the average person, making a plane journey will be his or her largest contribution to global warming. It maybe good to repair the damage we do. But surely it is better not to 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 to encourage people to travel by.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

20. Mark Ellingham's readers are not interested in environmental protection.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

21. Critics argue that the best way to protect our environment is not to do any damage to it.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

22. Mark Ellingham will collaborate with the critics in his efforts to fight global warming.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

第三部分：概况大意与完成句子（第23~30题，每题1分，共8分）

下面的短文后有2项测试任务：（1）第23~26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2~5段每段选择1个最佳选项标题；（2）第27~30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个最佳选项。

Tunguska Event

1. A hundred years ago this week, a gigantic explosion ripped open the dawn sky above a forest of western Siberia, leaving a scientific riddle that endures to this day.

2. A dazzling light pierced the heavens, followed by a shock wave as strong as 1000 atomic bombs. The explosion flattened 80 million trees across an area of 2,000 square kilometres. The fireball was so great that a day later, Londoners could read their newspapers under the night sky. What caused the so-called Tunguska Event, named after the nearby Podkamennaya Tunguska river, still remains a mystery.

3. Experts suspect it was a rock that, after travelling in space for millions of years was destined to crash to Earth at exactly 7:17a.m. on June 30,1908. This possibility worries scientists. "Imagine an unspotted asteroid hitting a significant chunk of land... and imagine if that area, unlike Tunguska, was populated," the British science journal Nature

commented recently.

4. But no fragments of the “rock” have ever been found. Finding such evidence would be important, for it would increase our knowledge about the risk posed by dangerous Near Earth Objects (NEOs), say Italian researchers Luca Gasperini, Enrico Bonatti and

Giuseppe Longo. When the next Tunguska NEO approaches, scientist will have to decide whether to try to deflect it or blow it up in space.

5. However, several rival theories for the Tunguska Event exist. Wolfgang kundt, a professor at Germany ?s Bonn University, believes the Tunguska Event was caused by a massive escape of 10 million tons of methane-rich gas from deep within the earth ?s crust. Some people hold that the explosion was caused by an alien spaceship crash, or a black hole in the universe.

23. Paragraph 2 ____C___ 24. Paragraph 3 ___F____ 25. Paragraph 4 ___E____ 26. Paragraph 5 ___A____

27. The gigantic explosion that occurred a

hundred years ago ___A____. 28. The shock wave which followed the dazzling light ___D____.

29. The hypothesis, that the explosion was caused by a rock colliding with the Earth ___B___.

30. Wolfgang kundt, who has developed an alternative theory, ___C___.

第四部分：阅读理解（第30~45题，每题3分，共45分）

下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。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 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 states 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."

31. Who was Magritte?

A. A French novelist

B. A saxophonist

C. A separatist

D. A surrealist artist

32. When did Belgium become an independent kingdom?

A. in 1800

B. in 1830

C. in 1815

D. in 1930

33. Which statement about Belgium is NOT true?

A. it is twice as big as Beijing.

B. it has two major ethnic groups.

C. it has gone through quite a few threats of division.

D. it has no government.

34. What does the passage main talk about?

A. Surrealist artists.

B. Belgium's economy.

C. Cultural clashes in Belgium.

D. Music in Belgium.

35. The word "stand" in Paragraph 2 means_____.

A. handle

B. meet

C. combine

D. bear

Medicine Award Kicks off Nobel Prize Announcements

Two scientists who have won praise for research into the growth of cancer cells could be candidates for the Nobel Prize in medicine when the 2008 winners are presented on Monday, kicking off six days of Nobel announcements.

Australian-born U. S. citizen Elizabeth Blackburn and American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors for their enzyme research and experts say they could be among the front-runners for a Nobel.

Only seven women have won the medicine prize since the first Nobel Prizes were handed out in 1901. The last female winner was U. S. researcher Linda Buck in 2004，who shared the prize with Richard Axel.

Among the pair's possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon and Americans

Ronald Evans and El wood Jensen, who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone receptors.

As usual, the award committee is giving no hints about who is in the running before presenting its decision in a news conference at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute.

Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite, established the prizes in his will in the categories of medicine，physics，chemistry，literature and peace. The economies pijize is technically not a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Sweden's central bank.

Nobel left few instructions on how to select winners, but medicine winners are typically awarded for a specific breakthrough rather than a body of research.

Hans Jornvall, secretary of the medicine prize committee, said the 10 million kronor (US $1.3 million) prize encourages groundbreaking research but he did not think winning it was the primary goal for scientists.

“Individual researchers proba bly don't look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when they're at work,” Jornvall told The Associated Press. “They get their kicks from their research and their interest in how life functions.”

In 2006，Blackburn, of the University of California, San Francisco, and Greider, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shared the Lasker prize for basic medical research with Jack Szostak of Harvard Medical School. Their work set the stage for7 research suggesting that cancer cells use telomerase to sustain their uncontrolled growth.

36. Who is most unlikely to win this year's Nobel Prize in medicine?

A. Elizabeth Blackburn.

B. Carol Greider.

C. Linda Buck.

D. Pierre Chambon.

37. Which is NOT true of Alfred Nobel?

A. He was from Sweden.

B. He was the inventor of dynamite.

C. He established the prizes in his will.

D. He gave clear instructions on how to select winners.

38. Originally the Noble Prizes did not include?

A. The medicine prize.

B. The literature prize.

C. The peace prize.

D. The economics prize.

39. The word ……kicks” in line 6 from the bottom probably means________.

A. excitement

B. income

C. motivation

D. knowledge

40. Telomerase may play a key role in________.

A. the unchecked growth of cancer cells

B. the killing of cancer cells

C. the division of cancer cells

D. the transmission of viruses

Sports Star Yao Ming

If Yao Ming is not the biggest sports star in the world, he is almost certainly the tallest. At 2.26m, he is the tallest player in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and holds the record as the most towering Olympian ever to compete in the Games.

But what really stands out about the giant center is his celebrity(名气). Few, if any,

Chinese athletes are as well-known as Yao around the world. People across the globe are fascinated with Yao, not only for his basketball prowess(杰出的才能)also for being a symbol of international commerce.

When Yao joined the Houston Rockets as the No.1 pick in the 2002 NBA draft(选抜)，he was the first international player ever to be selected first. His assets on the court are clear enough—no NBA player of his size has ever possessed his mobility, so he is a handful(难对付的人)for opponents on either end of the court. But what makes Yao invaluable to the Rockets organization is his role as a global citizen and as a bridge to millions of potential basketball fans in China.

When it was announced in February that Yao would miss the rest of the NBA season and possibly the Olympics with a stress fracture(骨折)in his left foot, a collective

shudder(震动)spread across China. After considerable debate and discussion, Yao opted to get his foot surgically treated in an operation that placed several tiny screws across the bone, to offer his overburdened foot more support. The surgery was a success, and though the estimated four-month recovery period will leave him little time to prepare with Team China, Yao has vowed to be ready for the Beijing Olympics.

Yao wrapped up a 10-day trip to China, where he underwent a series of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments, hoping to accelerate his recovery process Western experts are generally skeptical of TCM's benefits although new research from the University of Rochester suggests that a certain compound derived from shellfish may indeed stimulate bone repair.

"There is no reason to dismiss TCM," Yao told a press conference in Beijing." It's been used in our country for thousands of years. I don't think that it's short on science."

41.The word "towering" in Paragraph 1 means________.

A. large

B. fat

C. tall

D. great

42. Opponents find it very difficult to control Yao Ming because of his________.

A. mobility

B. assault

C. defense

D. celebrity

43. Yao Ming had to undergo a series of TCM treatments because________.

A. his right foot had been hurting.

B. he wanted to make a more rapid recovery.

C. the surgical operation had been a failure.

D. he couldn't afford all the medical expenses.

44. Which statement about Yao Ming is NOT true?

A. He missed the Athens Olympics.

B. He is an NBA player.

C. He fractured his left foot.

D. He is an international figure.

45. In general, the Western experts' attitude towards TCM is________.

A. indifferent

B. positive

C. negative

D. doubtful

What Is a Dream?

For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person?s mind and emotions.

Before modem times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. ____A____(46)

The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams ( 1900 ), Freud wrote that dreams are an expressions of a person?s wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.

The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was once a student of Freud'' s. Jung, however, had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. ____D____(47) For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.

Modem-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz, believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person?s daily life, thoughts, and behavior.

____C____(48)

Dornhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop.

He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the

dreams of men and women are different. ____F____(49) This is not true of women?s dreams. Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modem and traditional ones.

Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. ____B____(50) The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. It?s important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.
