27、 to HealthC. Exposure to the Open AirD. Some Health ConditionsBEddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKays name in a footnote in a book ab

28、out university history. Mckay was included in a list of university alumni ( 校 友 ) who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆) in a fruitless search for information o

29、n Mckay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broads glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization

30、. After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case, said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joine

31、d the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron ( 中 队 ) as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But theres more to his

32、 story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world, says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boclcke, the most famous German pilot at the time. Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German

33、plane.Mckays war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on Londonan explanation for why he was all but forgotten.But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKays memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with

34、tears as I read the word deceased ( 阵 亡 ) next to his name, said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his

37、rrettD. set an example for his fellow students60. What is the text mainly about?A. The research into war history.B. The finding of a forgotten hero.C. The pilots of the two world wars.D. The importance of military studies.CWith eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the

38、 travel industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesnt necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is certainly a choice.The majority of eco-hotels fall into one of several categories: hotels and resorts that conserve ecologically important ha

39、bitats; “green” hotels that reduce, recycle, minimize waste, and protect water; sustainable hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or get part or all of their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing; a

40、nd hotels that offer some form of environmental education to their guests.As such, eco-hotels are a various group. Stylish urban hotels like the Willard Inter-Continental Washington focus on energy conservation whereas the Rosario Resort & Spa on Orcas Island in Washington State offers a wildly popu

41、lar “green” vacation package where guests can “take a hike, clear a trail”.No matter what you call them, eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, theyre all part of the “greening” of the tourism industry.Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition. Going

42、green is yet another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from. But for many hotels, its also part of their philosophy. With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whet

43、her or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesnt matter so much as its good for the planet.61.

47、 to take a hikeB. have environmental awarenessC. want to live comfortablyD. enjoy the green atmosphereDFor those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those

48、which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the

49、 conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured(忍受) . The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever- changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping pa

50、st your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progr

51、ess slowly.Then there is the time spent beingprocessedat a modern airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hour

52、s devoted to beingprocessedat departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high- speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people d

53、epend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday- maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls peoples lives

54、; time saved, in work or play, is the important thingor so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.66.

55、ss in Paragraph 1?A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.B. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.C. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.D. Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.67. How does the writer su
