Global Warming

At the Kyoto conference on global warming in December 1997, it became abundantly clear how complex it has become to work out international agreements relating to the environment because of economic concerns unique to each country. It is no longer enough to try to forbid certain activities or to reduce emissions of certain substances. The global challenges of the interlink between the environment and development increasingly bring us to the core of the economic life of states. During the late 1980s we were able, through international agreements, to make deep cuts in emissions harmful to the ozone layer, These reductions were made possible because substitutions had been found for many of the harmful chemicals and, more important, because the harmful substances could be replaced without negative effects on employment and the economies of states.

Although the threat of global warming has been known to the world for decades and all countries and leaders agree that we need to deal with the problem, we also know that the effects of measures, especially harsh measures taken in some countries, would be nullified (抵消) if others countries do not control their emissions. Whereas the UN team on climate change has found that the emissions of carbon dioxide would have to be cut globally by 60% to stabilize the content of CO2 in the atmosphere, this path is not feasible for several reasons. Such deep cuts would cause a breakdown of the world economy. Important and populous (人口众多的) low—or medium-income countries are not yet willing to undertake legal commitments about their energy uses. In addition, the state of world technology would not yet permit us to make such a big leap.

We must, however, find a solution to the threat of global warming early in the 21st century. Such a commitment would require a degree of shared vision and common responsibilities new to humanity. Success lies in the force of imaginations, in imagining what would happen if we fail to act. Although many living in cold regions would welcome the global-warming effect of a warmer summer, few would cheer the arrival of the subsequent diseases, especially where there had been none.

The main purpose of this passage is to______.

A．convince people that global warming is a real threat

B．criticize some countries for refusing to cut down emissions harmful to the ozone layer

C．analyze the problem of global warming

D．argue against making deep cuts in emissions

Air Transportation

1. Airplanes are used to carry passengers， cargo and mail. Air transport companies operate scheduled airlines and non-scheduled services over local， regional， national， and international routes. The aircraft operated by these companies range from small single-engine planes to large multiengine jet transports.

2. The first air passenger services began in 1910， when dirigibles began operation between several German cities. The first scheduled airplane service to carry passengers began in the U. S in 1914. Several experimental airmail flights took place in India， Europe， and the United States before World War I， but air transport service did not become a true business until after the war.

3. During World War Two， intercontinental air transport became firmly established. After the war the new long-distance transports with advanced facilities were increasingly able to avoid storms and strong wind and make flights more economical and consistent. A new generation of "jumbo-jet" transports began operations in 1970， and the supersonic transport entered passenger service in 1976.

4. During the 1970s the number of domestic passengers on U. S airlines increased about 78%， and during the 1980s the figure was up about 58%. In 1990 there were 41.8 million international passengers， the figure was a 75% increase over 1980. The total cargo flown by U. S airlines almost doubled during the 1980s， from 5.7 billion to 10.6 billion ton-miles in 1990.

5. Major airports provide a wide range of facilities for the convenience of millions of travelers. These range from such basic services as ticket-sales counters and restaurants to luxury hotels， shopping centers and play areas for children. International airports must also have customs areas and currency exchange counters and so on.

Paragraph 2__________. 查看材料
