So he went to Australia, stopping off in many countries in between. He also decided to write about t
7、he 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
8、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“s motoring (驾车). A return flight to Australia equals the emissions (排放) of three aver
9、age 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 stopat least by air. He is calling for a 100 green tax on all flights to E
10、urope 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
11、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 use
12、d 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 may be good to repai
13、r the damage we do. But surely it is better not to do the damage in the first place.（分数：7.00）(1).Mark Ellingham spent quite a few days in China on his way to Australia 25 years ago.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(2).Traveling from Britain to any other part of the world may cost you less than

17、experts are looking to the potato as a possible low-cost solution to feeding the hungry. To emphasize the issue, the United Nations has called the potato “a hidden treasure“, and named 2008 the International Year of the Potato. Here“s how potatoes could end the food crisis. 3 The potato matures more
18、 quickly, on less land and in harsher climates than most other major crops. Up to 85 percent of the plant is eatable, compared with around 50 percent of cereals. Its broad adaptability to a wide variety of farming systems is also noteworthy. 4 Potatoes are an excellent source of complex carbohydrate
19、s ( 碳水化合物), which release their energy slowly, and have only 5 percent of wheat“s fat content. They contain only a quarter of the calories of bread and, according to the Potato Center, when boiled, potatoes have more protein and nearly twice the calcium (钙) as corn. Additionally, they are good sourc
20、es of vitamin C, iron, potassium (钾) and zinc (锌). 5 The Food and Agricultural Organization recently surveyed food price inflation in over 70 of the poor countries. Cereal price inflation was much higher and far more widespread than for potatoes. A significant factor behind the potato“s affordabilit
21、y is the fact that unlike other agricultural products, the potato is not yet a global commodity, and has therefore not attracted speculative investors. Raw potatoes are heavy and can rot during transit, so global trade has been slow to take off. Also, potatoes are susceptible (易受影响的) to infection wi
22、th disease, hindering (阻碍) export. According to analysts“ estimates, less than 5 percent of potatoes are traded internationally, with prices driven primarily by local tastes instead of international demand.（分数：8.00）(1).Paragraph 2 1 A.

25、15.00)Electric BackpackBackpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, and a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don“t mind carrying a heavy load, your backpacks might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, and maybe even
26、light your way home. Lawrence C. Rome and his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks. In military actions, search-and-rescue operations, and scientific field studies, people rely incre
27、asingly on cell phones, global positioning system (GPS) receivers (接收器), night-vision goggles (夜视镜), and other battery-powered devices to get around and do their work. The backpack“s electricity-generating feature could greatly reduce the amount of a wearer“s load now devoted to spare batteries. The
28、 backpack“s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The whole pack moves up and down as the person walks. A special mechanism converts movements of the pack to electricity, which can be as much as 7.4 watts. Unexpectedly, tests showed that wearer
29、s of the new backpack alter their gaits (步法) in response to the pack“s oscillations (摆动), so that they carry loads more comfortably and with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks. Because of that surprising advantage, Rome plans to commercialize both electric and nonelectric versions of the ba
30、ckpack. The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers, scientists, mountaineers (登山运动员), and emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. For the rest of us, power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, and listen to music, all at the same t
31、ime. Electricity-generating packs aren“t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!（分数：15.00）(1).Backpacks are very convenient because they can _.（分数：3.00）A.change your gaitsB.reduce your loadC.free your handsD.control your MP3 p

33、 act of jumping or leapingB.something that returns to its original shape after being pressedC.the first season of the yearD.places where water comes up naturally from the ground(4).According to Paragraph 4, Rome plans to _.（分数：3.00）A.make the backpack more comfortable for the wearerB.replace the non
34、-electric version with the electric oneC.put both versions of the backpack on the marketD.promote the backpack on television(5).The sentence “if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!“ implies _.（分数：3.00）A.the backpack may be a cause of an accidentB.y

36、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, tumors run wild that the country is
37、 about to disappear. “We are two different nations, an artificial state. With nothing in common except a king, chocolate and beer,“ said Filip Dewinter, the leader of the Flemish Bloc, the extreme-right Flemish party. Radical Flemish separatists like Mr Dewinter want to divide the country horizontal
38、ly along ethnic end economic lines: to the north, Flanderswhere Dutch (known locally as Flemish) is spoken and money is increasingly made; to the south, French-speaking Wallonia, where today old factories dominate the landscape. The area of present-day Belgium passed to the French in the 18 th centu
39、ry. 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 hostil
40、ity 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 econom
41、y 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. “
42、We must not worry too much,“ said Baudouin 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.“（分数：15.00）(1).Who was Magritte?（分数：3.00）A.A French novelist.B.A sa

45、the Cost All by HimselfUniversity life is in no way cheap in Canada. 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 ran
46、ge 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 independenc
47、e 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 Kemp“s five jobs last semester, two were on campus. For one, he helped maintain the university“s computer labs. For the other, he worked at the IT ser
48、vice 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 hour. “These jobs made me put what I“ve learned in university to practical use,“ Kemp said. “I accomplished creative and imaginative
49、 tasks by applying my abilities to the work.“ Good time management skills help Kemp balance work and study. He“s a top student in his class. And he will be the student association chairman for his department beginning next semester. It“s 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 (应对) everything is to avoid putting off tasks. This can leave you stressed and reduce the quality of your work and health,“ he sa
