Passage 3International airlines have rediscovered the business travelers, the man or woman

Passage 3

International airlines have rediscovered the business travelers, the man or woman who regularly jets from country to country as part of the job. This does not necessarily mean that airlines ever _1_ their business travelers. Indeed, companies like Lufthansa and Swissair would rightly argue that they have always _2_ best for the executive class passengers. But many lines could be accused of concentrating too heavily in the recent past on attracting passengers by volume, often at the _3_ of regular travelers. Too often, they have seemed geared for quantity rather than quality. Operating a major airline in the 1980s is essentially a matter of finding the right mix of passengers. The airlines need to fill up the back end of their wide-bodied jets with low fare passengers,without forgetting that the front end should be filled with people who pay_4_ more for their tickets. It is no _5_ that the two major airline bankruptcies in 1982 were among the companies _6_ in cheap flights.but low fares require consistently full aircraft to make flights economically viable(可行的), and in the recent recession the volume of traffic has not grown. EquaUy the large number of airlines jostling for (争夺）the _7_ passenger has created a huge excess of capacity. The net result of excess capacity and cut-throat _8_ driving down fares has been to push some airlines into _9_ and leave many others hovering on the brink. Against this grim background, it is no surprise that airlines are turning increasingly to the business travelers to improve their rates of return. They have _10_ much time and effort to establish exactly what the executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists.

A)competition

B)entertained

C)coincidence

D)abandoned

E)expense

F)centralizing

G)collapse

H)attachable

I)invested

J)ultimtely

第5题

The twin English passions for gardening and long muddy walks may seem puzzling to foreigne

rs, yet they are easily explained in terms of a favourite economist's concept: scarcity. Most other nations have lots of countryside. England doesn't, and therefore its people prize the stuff. One consequence of the rural romance is a word which exists only in English and describes those with a particular sort of hostility to development: Nimbys, who don't mind new housing so long as it is Not In My Back Yard. Another consequence is a problem for the government.

Compared with its neighbours' economies, Britain's has been doing very nicely in recent years. Only one big threat looms: the possibility of a bust in the overheated and volatile housing market, which could feed through to the rest of the economy and lead to recession, as happened in the early 1990s. The government reckons that one reason why house prices have been rising so fast, particularly in the south-east of England, is that, while real wages have been going up and foreigners pouring in, little new housing is being built.

Nimbyism helps explain the shortage of new housing in the south-east. People living in pretty villages don't want new estates on their doorstep. After all, they spent their hard-earned cash on a view of rolling acres, not of spanking new red-tiled roofs. Nimbys' hostility to development acquires legal force through the planning system, which has, in large part, been controlled by elected local authorities.

Although some big new developments—including the first new towns since the early 1970s—are getting the go-ahead, others are hard-fought. The government's solution is to undermine local planning powers. The new Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act, which starts to come into force next month, shifts power from elected county councils to unelected regional bodies, and gives statutory force to the government's estimates of the number of new houses needed in different bits of the country. That will make it harder for councils in overheated areas to turn down developers.

The government is right that the planning system is excessively biased against growth: existing property-owners, who control the system through local authorities, have little interest in sanctioning developments which may reduce the value of their houses. But the government was wrong to go about lowering the barriers to development by talking power away from local authorities, thus further centralizing Britain's already far-too-centralised political system.

According to the text, Downing Street No. 10 is in an awkward predicament of

A．real estate development.

B．gardening expansion.

C．hostility to scarcity.

D．economic recession.

In the next century we'll be able to alter our DNA radically, encoding our visions and van

ities while concocting new life-forms. When Dr. Frankenstein made his monster, he wrestled with the moral issue of whether he should allow it to reproduce, "Had I the right, for my oval benefit, to inflict the curse upon everlasting generations？" Will such questions require us to develop new moral philosophies？

Probably not. Instead, we'll reach again for a time-tested moral concept, one sometimes called the Golden Rule and which Kant, the millennium's most prudent moralist, conjured up into a categorical imperative: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; treat each person as an individual rather than as a means to some end.

Under this moral precept we should recoil at human cloning, because it inevitably entails using humans as means to other humans' ends and valuing them as copies of others we loved or as collections of body parts, not as individuals in their own right. We should also draw a line, however fuzzy, that would permit using genetic engineering to cure diseases and disabilities but not to change the personal attributes that make someone an individual (IQ, physical appearance, gender and sexuality).

The biotech age will also give us more reason to guard our personal privacy. Aldous Huxley in Brave New World, got it wrong: rather than centralizing power in the hands of the state, DNA technology has empowered individuals and families. But the state will have an important role, making sure that no one, including insurance companies, can look at our genetic data without our permission or use it to discriminate against us.

Then we can get ready for the breakthroughs that could come at the end of the next century and the tech nology is comparable to mapping our genes: plotting the 10 billion or more neurons of our brain. With that information we might someday be able to create artificial intelligences that think and experience consciousness in ways that are indistinguishable from a human brain. Eventually we might be able to replicate our own minds in a "dry-ware" machine, so that we could live on without the "wet-ware" of a biological brain and body. The 20th century's revolution in infotechnology will thereby merge with the 21st century's revolution in biotechnology. But this is science fiction. Let's turn the page now and get back to real science.

Dr. Frankenstein's remarks are mentioned in the text ______

A．to give an episode of the DNA technological breakthroughs.

B．to highlight the importance of a means to some everlasting ends.

C．to show how he created a new form. of life a thousand years ago.

D．to introduce the topic of moral philosophies incurred in biotechnology.

Though one may question the degree to which the Civil War represents a milestone in women'

Though one may question the degree to which the Civil War represents a

milestone in women's pursuit of social, economic, and political equality,

Leonard's recent study has excelled that of her predecessor Ginzberg in

Line debunking persistent myths about women's primary relation to the war as

(5) weeping widows, self-sacrificing wives, patriotic fiancées, and loyal daughters.

Leonard asks if the wartime work of northern women influenced popular

perceptions of women's abilities, and if home front production were seen as

contributing to the readiness of soldiers. Finding in the affirmative, she argues

that home front activities generated respect for women's organizational talents

(10) and opened up new work opportunities for women, while participation

reinforced their self-reliance and self-esteem.

In contrast to her predecessors, who saw the war as transforming the

ideology of benevolence, Leonard finds that women's war work drew heavily

upon the antebellum ideology of women's nature and sphere. It was once

(15) believed that wartime benevolence heightened changes emerging in the 1850s

by replacing the antebellum ideology of gender difference and female moral

superiority with a new ideology of gender similarity and a more masculine ethos

of discipline and efficiency. Leonard asserts instead that white, middle-class,

Yankee, charitable women appropriated the antebellum moral definition of

(20) womanhood and, in particular, woman's unique moral responsibility for

maintaining community and her natural selflessness and caretaking abilities, to

expand the boundaries of woman's proper place. With determination and

courage, women brought forth positive changes in popular characterizations of

middle-class womanhood that opened new doors for women in the professions

(25) and in public life.

A weak point of Leonard's theory is her assessment of the themes of

postwar histories of women's wartime service. Leonard views these works as

extolling women's self-sacrifice and ability to cooperate with men while

downplaying women's demands for status and pay and ignoring the scope of

(30) women's administrative genius. But other theorists, most notably Ginzberg,

have argued that these same works may also be viewed as praising the efficiency

of the new centralized and national charitable organizations, women's wage-

earning capacity, and their subordination of feminine feeling and enthusiasm to

(40) business-like and war-like routinization and order. Two sets of values-older

notions of benevolence and new demands of public service-were at war in the

North, a war that can be plotted through tensions about paying wages,

centralizing corporate functions of benevolence, relating benevolence to

government, and using funds for administrative-as opposed to strictly

(45) charitable-purposes. It may well be that wartime masculinization of the

ideology of benevolence pushed women further from both the symbolic and the

real centers of power for social change and hastened instead a class-based

alliance for social welfare. But we can agree with Leonard that the war forced

men to yield groun
