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 beween. Healso

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 ahuge 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 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 fora £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 mitmentis 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

foreignculture. They are also the sort of people who say they care about the '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

cuttingback on putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And for the average

person,making a plane journey will be his or her largest contribution to globalwarming. It

may be good to repair the damage we do. But surely it is better notto do the damage in the

first place.

第3部分 概括大意与完成句子〔第23——30题,每题1分,共8分〕

Feed the World with Potatoes

1. As food prices continue to rise rapidly,there is growing concern about the effect

it will have among the world’s poor.

2. Increasingly, experts are looking to thepotato 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 / 12

3. The potato matures more quickly, on less land and in harsher climate than most other

major crops. Up to 85 percent of the plant is eatable, pared with around 50 percent of cereals.

Its broad adaptability to a wide variety of farming systems is also note worthy.

4. Potatoes are an excellent source of plex carbohydrates, which is 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 as corn. Additionally, they are good source of vitamin

C, iron, potassium〔钾〕and zinc<锌>.

5. The food and Agriculture 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 affordability is the fact that

unlike other agriculture products, the potato is not yet a global modity, and has therefore

not attracted speculative investors. Raw potatoes are heavy and carrot during transmit, so

global trade has been show to take off. Also, potatoes are susceptible〔易受影响的〕 to

infection with 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.

第一篇 Covering the Coast All by Himself

D. nobody eats it

University life is in no way cheap in Canada. It costs Peter Kemp, a puter science major

E. its yield is high

at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in Vancouver, C$18,000 a year.

F. raw potatoes can decay easily during transit

4 / 12

Amazingly, the 21-year-old is covering the cost by himself.

For the past three years, Kemp has done a range 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 independence 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 puter labs. For the other, he worked at the IT service desk to help students

and teachers solve their puter problems. He also worked for a small pany that develops GPS

systems. This job paid him well at C$27 an hours.

"These jobs made me put what I’ve learned in university to practical use," Kemp said."I

acplished creative and imaginative tasks by applying my abilities to thework. "

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<应付>everything is toavoid putting off tasks.

This can leave you stressed and reduce the quality ofyour work and health," he said.

"I often make a list of the things I need to do each day and rank them by their importance.

The list helps me decide what task I should do first and when I should plete it. Remember

to ask for help when you think you can’t finish something on time, or can’ t finish it

by yourself. "

第二篇Ethnic Tensions in Belgium

Belgium has given the world Audrey Hepburn Rene Magritte , 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 mon 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
