9、think the food is tastier than if it is offered for a smaller price. The experts think that people tend to associate cost with quality and this changes their _32_ of how food tastes.Scientists at Cornell University in New York studied the eating habits of 139 people enjoying an Italian buffet(自助餐) i

10、n a restaurant. The price of the food was set by the _33_ at either $4 or $8 for the all-you-can-eat meal.

14、rehensionSection AHow Climate Change Affects Airline FlightsHot weather has forced dozens of commercial flights to be canceled at airports in the Southwest this summer. This flight-disturbing _41_ is a warning sign. Climate change is projected to have far-reaching _42_ -including sea level rise floo

15、ding cities and shifting weather patterns causing long-term declines in agricultural production. And there is evidence that it is beginning to affect the takeoff performance of commercial aircraft, with potential effects on airline _43_.National and global transportation systems and the economic act

16、ivity they support have been designed for the climate in which it all developed. In the aviation(航空) industry, airports and aircraft are designed for the weather conditions experienced _44_. Because the climate is changing, even fundamental elements like airports and key economic parts like air tran

17、sportation may need to be _45_.As scientists focused on the impacts of climate change and extreme weather on human society and natural ecosystems around the world, our research has quantified how extreme heat associated with our warming climate may affect _46_ around the world. Weve found that major

18、 airports from New York to Dubai to Bangkok will see more frequent takeoff weight _47_ in the coming decades due to increasingly common hot temperatures, which can help reduce the aircrafts weight so as to lower its required takeoff speed.There is obvious evidence that extreme events such as heat wa

19、ves and coastal flooding are happening with greater frequency and intensity than just a few decades ago. And if we _48_ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly in the next few decades, the frequency and intensity of these extremes is projected to increase dramatically.The _49_ on aviation m

20、ay be widespread. Many airports are built near sea level, putting them at risk of more frequent _50_ as oceans rise. The frequency and intensity of violent air movement may increase in some regions due to strengthening high-altitude(高海拔的) wind. Stronger winds would force airlines and pilots to chang

The sooner, the better: Both airport construction and aircraft design take decades, and have _53_ effects. Today

22、s newest planes may well be flying in 40 or 50 years, and their _54_ are being designed now. The earlier climate impacts are understood and appreciated, the more effective and less costly adaptation can be. Those adaptations may even include innovative ways to dramatically reduce climate-altering em

26、e . Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.( A ) Flu is killing us. The usual response to the annual flu i

27、s not enough to fight against the risks we currently face, let alone prepare us for an even deadlier widespread flu that most experts agree will come in the future. Yes, we have an annual vaccine(疫苗), and everyone qualified should get it without question. The reality , however, is that less than hal

28、f Americans get the flu vaccines. And the flu vaccines we have are only 60% effective in the best years and 10% effective in the worst years. We urgently need a much more effective flu vaccine. In the U.S alone, seasonal flu can cause up to 36 million infections, three-quarters of a million hospital

29、izations and 56,000 deaths. We are not investing the resources needed to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our communities. Why not? We havent been hit by a truly destructive widespread disease in a long time. So as individuals, we let down our guard as our leaders quietly defund and distaff the

30、 services we need to protect us. The risk of continued foot dragging is huge. In a severe widespread disease, the U.S health care system could be defeated in just weeks. Millions of people would be infected by the virus, and would die in the weeks and months following the initial outbreak. The cost

31、of preventing epidemics(流行病) is roughly a tenth of what it costs to cope with them when they hit. In 2012, a call was issued for an annual billion-dollar U.S. commitment to the development of a universal flu vaccine. Six years later, the search for a universal vaccine remained seriously underfunded.

32、 The simple reason lies in our collective satisfaction. As soon as headlines about the flu are going hospitals are emptied of flu patients, and school and workplace absence rates declines, we go back to business as usual. Leading scientists and public health officials have the capability to keep us

33、much safer from flu. They need your quick and decisive support to succeed. Your action today may be a matter of life and death for you and your loved ones.56.

35、ividuals arent alert enough to the underinvestment in flu prevention.D. Flu will certainly become a severe widespread disease in near future.58. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Science is currently not so developed as to keep us safer from flu.B. The death from flu is much higher than that

36、from other diseases.C. The general public is partially to blame for the neglect of flu prevention.D. Developing a universal flu vaccine will cost more than dealing with flu.59. The author wrote the passage mainly to _-.A. teach people more effective ways to fight against fluB. call on people to take

37、 flu outbreaks far more seriously C. encourage medical scientists to develop more flu vaccinesD. urge the government to publicize the risks of widespread flu.( B )How to get your tax refund At the store Get a Global Blue Tax Free Form.
