19.Uncivilized behavior by passengers unacceptable
For the first time,airline passengers have been blacklisted for uncivilized behavior.Their names will remain on the blacklist for one or two years,according to an announcement by the China Air Transport Association on Saturday.The blacklisting means they will not be able to travel by air until their names are removed from the list.
Blacklisting passengers who disobey the rules for travelling by air and so place their own interests before everything else,including safety,has long been overdue (迟到的,延迟的).
There have been frequent reports of passengers making a scene when their flight was delayed or when they believed that they were not treated as they should be on a flight.
Yet it is natural for some flights to be delayed because of reasons such as bad weather or mechanical problems that need to be solved.However,some passengers seem to take it for granted that their flight must take off at the time stated on their ticket,and they even assume that the members of the cabin crew are simply there to do their bidding(吩咐).
They forget that they should behave themselves in the first place and that respect is reciprocal (互相给与的).There is no reason for them to be respected when they do not show enough respect for others.
Observing  rules can never be over-emphasized when it comes to flight safety.No one has the right to disregard the rules for any reason.Of course,airlines should provide quality services to meet the needs of passengers.Yet,even if passengers are not satisfied with the service provided,there is still no reason for them to flout the rules that are designed for the safety of all.
The blacklisting of these three passengers should serve for others to know they have to toe the line (顺从集体).

21.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A
A.Never before have airline passengers been blacklisted.
B.At no time should flights be delayed,whatever the reasons.
C.Members of the cabin crew should be at the passengers'service at any moment.
D.If an airline passenger is blacklisted,he or she will never be allowed to travel by air.
22.The underlined word"observing"in paragraph 6is closest in meaning toD.
A.abolishing        B.violating        
C.setting           D.obeying
23.According Paragraph 4,the author's attitude towards some passengers isC.
A.Tolerate          B.Curious        
C.Critical          D.Neutral
24.The text is most probably taken fromB.
A.a research paper   
B.a newspaper report   
C.an advertisement   
D.a flight guide.

分析 本文是有关难以让人接受的旅客的不文明行为的报道,作者认为某些乘客的做法简直是无法令人容忍.

解答 21.A.细节理解题.根据文章第一段第一句话"For the first time,airline passengers have been blacklisted for uncivilized behavior."可知,这是第一次飞机乘客会因为其不文明的行为而被列入黑名单.也就是说,在这之前从未有过这种情形.因此,正确答案为A项.
22.D.词义猜测题.下划线单词所在的句子的含义是"当谈到飞行安全的时候,乘客遵守规章制度怎么被强调都不为过".由此可知,该下划线词的含义应是"服从,遵守",与D项含义接近.
23.C.作者态度题.根据第四段中的信息"However,some passengers seem to take it for granted that their flight must take off at the time stated on their ticket,and they even assume that the members of the cabin crew are simply there to do their bidding(吩咐)."可知,作者认为某些乘客的做法简直是无法令人容忍的,所以作者对此应是持"批判"的态度.故正确答案为C项.
24.B.文章出处题.纵观全文内容可知,本文应是选自报刊上的一篇报道.故正确答案为B项.

点评 本文是新闻题材,关注此类文章的特征:新闻的主题往往在第一段,最后常常有总结的段落.中间部分是对新闻细节的展开说明.所以在阅读时要关注首段和尾端,把握主旨;解题时要关注中间的细节,根据题干和选项中的关键词或句定位细节,比对选项和文章细节确定答案.

9.Beijing-Premier Wen Jiabao has urged the leadership of all countries to deepen their political will in tackling climate change woes (灾难) as uncertainties mount in the months before the United Nation's conference in Cancun,Mexico,at the end of this year.
Wen made the remarks on Friday when he met with nearly 20politicians,climate change and environmental ministers worldwide,who are in Beijing this weekend to attend an international forum on green economy and climate change.
Based on the achievements made at the Copenhagen Summit last December,Wen urged the rich countries to further clarify their compulsory carbon reduction targets."At the same time,we developing countries should make clear our voluntary goal of slowing down climate change,"Wen said.
Wen also urged the developed countries to transfer climate change friendly technologies to the developing countries,especially the poorest countries and island nations.
During the meeting,Wen said China will redouble its efforts in reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency during the coming years after it finishes its 2006-2010goal of cutting energy consumption per unit of economic output by 20percent.
While praising China for its green efforts,former Australian Prime Minister Robert J.Lee Hawke asked China to share its experiences and lessons on energy savings and pollution reduction to the rest of the world to tackle global environmental woes and climate change.
Wen responded:"China,together with the rest of the world,is willing to make its due contribution in coping with global warming and climate change."At a banquet for the foreign guests on Friday night,former vice-premier Zeng Peiyan said mounting uncertainties are ahead for the climate change negotiations.The world needs more dialogue and cooperation,Zeng said.
"Climate change woes are our shared challenges but the root lies in the historical emissions by the developed countries,"said Zeng,as president of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges,which organized the weekend climate change summit.
Zeng expected the forum to work as a platform for different countries to communicate their positions freely before the Bonn climate change negotiation in June and the Cancun conference at the end of this year.

B.Because the developing countries have not set any goal of slowing down climate change.

8."Can I hug you?"community nurse Joyce Jebambula asks with a smile as she welcomes me back to her village."Of course,"I say as I put my arms around her.It's an unbelievable moment.Just at the height of the outbreak more than a year ago,there was an"avoid body contact"rule here.It's now been removed.
One of the most challenging parts of reporting this outbreak over the past 18 months is that I haven't been able to touch anyone in the worst-affected countries.When Ebola(埃博拉病毒) survivors described in tears describing losing their families,I had to almost sit on my hands to avoid reaching out to comfort them.
The outbreak was declared over in Sierra Leone on 7 November.I returned for the celebrations.But despite reaching this long-awaited milestone,all is not well.
Ibrahim Koroma,21,clings to his survivor's certificate outside the home.All 17 of his family are now dead.The certificate is one of his most prized possessions."He does not pose any risk to the community"it reads.
Ibrahim tells me how his landlord has allowed him to stay in one of the rooms of his former family home until the end of the year.He says he doesn't know what he'll do after that.He does some part-time work,relying heavily on help from neighbours.His two little sisters and little brother died in the very room where he now sleeps.He says he often lies awake thinking about them,feeling very bad.
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa was the worst on record.In past outbreaks there had only been a few hundred deaths and a few hundred survivors.It was thought Ebola could live for only three months.But research has now shown it can linger for at least nine months.Scientists are still trying to find how long it could be infectious.
58.When interviewing Ebola survivors the authorA.
A.couldn't touch the with hands.
B.kept comforting them with hands
C.held their hands to show sympathy        
D.couldn't help comforting them with hands
59.Ibrahim Koroma values his certificate because itB
A.is a sign of his contributions                   
B.shows he is healthy person
C.has been the only one for patients so far        
D.is a great honor to have it in his village
60.We can learn from the passage thatC
A.Ebola an only survive a few days      
B.Ibrahim's neighbours treat him badly
C.Ebola still influences Ibrahim's life
D.there were once 17 people in Ibrahim's family.
