Countries Rush for Upper Hand in Antarctica
A)On a glacier-filled island with fjords(峡湾)and elephant seals,Russia has built Antarctica's first Orthodox church on a hill overlooking its research base.Less than an hour away by snowmobile, Chinese labourershave updated the Great Wall Station,a vital part of China's plan to operate five bases on Antarctica,complete with an indoor badminton court and sleeping quarters for 150 people.Not to beoutdone,India's futuristic new Bharathi base,built on stilts(桩子)using 134 interlocking shipping containers,resembles aspaceship.Turkey and Iran have announced plans to build bases,too.
B)More than a century has passed since explorers raced to plant their flags at the bottom of the world and for decades to come this continent is supposed to be protected as a scientific preserve,shielded from intrusions like military activities and mining.But an array of countries are rushing to assert greater influence here,with an eye not just towards the day those protective treaties expire,but also for the strategic and commercial opportunities that already exist.
C)The newer players are stepping into what they view as a treasure house of resources.Some of the ventures focus on the Antarctic resources that are already up for grabs,like abundant sea life.South Korea,which operates stae-of-the-art bases here,is increasing its fishing of krill(磷虾),found in abundance in the Southern Ocean,while Russia recently frustrated efforts to create one of the world's largest ocean sanctuaries here.
D)Some scientists are examining the potential for harvesting icebergs from Antarctica,which is estimated to have the biggest reserves of fresh water on the planet.Nations are also pressing ahead with space research and satellite projects to expand their global navigation abilities.
E)Building on a Soviet-era foothold,Russia is expanding its monitoring stations for Glonass,itsversion of the Global Positioning System(GPS).At least three Russianstations are already operatingin Antarctica,part of its effort to challenge the dominance of the American GPS,and new stations are planned for sites like the Russian base,in the shadow of theOrthodox Church of the Holy Trinity
F)Elsewhere in Antarctica,Russian researchers boastof their recent discovery of a freshwater reserve the size of Lake Ontario after drilling through miles of solid ice.“You can see that we're here to stay,”said Vladimir Cheberdak,57,chief of the Bellingshausen Station,as he sipped tea under a portrait of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen,a high-ranking officer in the Imperial Russian Navy who explored the Antarctic coastin 1820.
G)Antarctica's mineral,oil and gas wealth are a longer-term prize.The treaty banning mining here,shielding coveted(令人垂涎的)reserves of iron ore,coal and chromium,comes up for review in 2048.Researchers recently found kimberlite (金伯利岩)deposits hinting at the existence of diamonds.And while assessments vary widely,geologistsestimate that Antarctica holds at least 36 billion barrels of oil and natural gas.
H)Beyond theAntarctictreaties,huge obstacles persist to tapping these resources,like drifting icebergs that could jeopardise offshore platfoms.Then there is Antarctica's remoteness,with some mineral deposits found in windswept locations on a continent that is larger than Europe and where winter temperatures hover around minus 55 degrees Celsius.
I) But advances in technology might make Antarctica a lot more accessible threedecades from now.And even before then,scholars warn,the demand for resources in an energy-hungry world could raise pressure to renegotiate Antarctica's treaties,possibly allowing more commercial endeavours here well before the prohibitions against them expire.The research stations on King George Island offer a glimpse into the long gameon this ice-blanketed continent as nations assert themselves,eroding the sway long held by countries like the United States,Britain,Australia and New Zealand.
J)Being stationed in Antarctica involves adapting to life on the planet's driest,windiest and coldest continent,yet each nation manages to make itself at home.Bearded Russian priests offer regular services at the Orthodox church for the 16 or so Russian speakers who spend the winter at the base,largely polarscientists in fields like glaciology and meteorology.Their number climbs to about 40 in the warmer summer months.China has arguably the fastest-growing operations in Antarctica.It opened its fourth station last year and is pressing ahead with plans to build a fifth.It is building its second ice-breaking ship and setting upresearch drilling operations on an ice dome 13422 feet above sea level that is one of the planet's coldest places.Chinese officials say the expansion in Antarctica prioritises scientific research,but they also acknowledge that concerns about“resource security”influence their moves.
K)China's newly renovated Great Wall Station on King George Island makes the Rusian and Chilean bases here seem outdated.“We do weather monitoring here and other research,”Ning Xu,53,the chief of the Chinese base,said over tea during a fierce blizzard(暴风雪)in late November.The large base he leads resembles a snowed-in college campus on holiday break,with the capacity to sleep more than 10 times the 13 people who were staying on through the Antarctic winter.Yong Yu,a Chinese microbiologist,showed off the spacious building,with empty desks under an illustrated timeline detailing the rapid growth of China's Antarctic operations since the 1980s.“We now feel equipped to grow,”he said.
L)As some countries expand operations in Antarctica,the United States maintains three year-round stationson the continent with more than 1000 people during the southern hemisphere's summer, including those at theAmundsen-Scott station,builtin 1956 at an elevation of 9301 feet on a plateau at the South Pole.But US researchers quietly complain about budget restraints and having far fewer icebreakers than Russia,limiting the reach of the United States in Antarctica.
M)Scholars warn that Antarctica's political drift could blur the distinction between military and civilian activities long before the continent's treaties come up for renegotiation,especially in parts of Antarctica that are ideal for intercepting(拦截)signals from satellites or retasking satellite systems potentially enhancing global electronic intelligence operations.
N)Some countries have had a hard time here.Brazil opened a research station in 1984,but it was largely destroyed by a fire that killed two members of the navy in 2012,the same year that a diesel-laden Brazilian barge sank near the base.As if that were not enough,a Brazilian C-130 Hercules military transport plane has remained stranded near the runway of Chile's air base here since it crash-landed in 2014.
O)However,Brazil's stretch of misfortune has created opportunities for China,with a Chinese company winning the $100 million contract in 2015 to rebuild theBrazilian station.
P)Amid all the changes,Antarctica maintainsits allure.South Korea opened its second Antarctic research base in 2014,describing it as a way to test robots developed by Korean researchers for use in extreme conditions.With Russia's help,Belarus is preparing to build its first Antarctic base.Colombia said this year that it planned to join other South American nations with bases in Antarctica.
Q)“The old days of the Antarctic being dominated by the interests and wishes of white men from European,Australasian and North American states are over,”said Klaus Dodds,a politicsscholar at the University of London who specialisesinAntarctica.“The reality is that Antarctica is geopolitically contested.”
36.According to Chinese officials,their activities in Antarctica lay greater emphasis on scientific research.
37.Effortsto create one of the world'slargestocean sanctuaries failed becauseof Rusia'sobstruction.
38.With several monitoring stations operating in Antarctica,Russia is trying hard to counter America's dominance in the field of worldwide navigational facilities.
39.According to geologists'estimates,Antarctica has enormous reserves of oil and natural gas.
40.It is estimated thatAntarctica boasts of the richest reserves of fresh water on earth.
41.The demand for energy resources may compel renegotiation of Antarctica's treaties before their expiration
42.Many countriesare racing againsteach other to increase their business and strategic influence on Antarctica.
43.Antarctica's harsh naturalconditions constitute huge obstacles to the exploitation of its resources.
44.With competition from many countries,Antarctica is no longer dominated by the traditional white nations.
45.American scientists complain about lack of sufficient money and equipment for their expansion in Antarctica.
Section C
Directions: Thereare 2 passages in this section.Each passnge is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage
Any veteran nicotine addict will testify that fancy packaging plays no role in the decision to keep smoking.So,it is argued,stripping cartons of their branding will trigger no mass movement to quit.
But that isn't why the government under pressure from cancer charities,health workers and the Labour party has agreed to legislate for standardised packaging.The theory is that smoking should be stripped of any appeal to discourage new generations from starting in the first place.Plain packaging would be another stepin the reclassification of cigarettes from inviting consumer products to narcotics (麻醉剂).
Naturally,the tobacco industry is violently opposed.No business likes to admit thatit sells addictive poison as a lifestyle choice.That is why government has historically intervened,banning advertising,imposing health warnings and punitive(惩罚性的)duties.This approach has led over time to a fall in smoking with numbers having roughly halved since the 1970s.Evidence from Australia suggests plain packaging pushes society further along that road.Since tobacco is one ofthe biggest causes of premature death in the UK,a measure that tames the habit even by a fraction is worth trying.
So why has it taken so long?The Department of Health declared its intention to consider themove in November 2010 and consulted through 2012.But the plan was suspended in July 2013.It did not escape notice that a lobbying firm set up by Lynton Crosby,David Cameron's election campaign director,had previously acted for Philip Morris International.(The prime minister denied there was a connection between his new adviser's outside interests and the change in legislativeprogramme.)In November2013, after an unnecessary round of additional consultation,health minister Jane Ellison said the government was minded to proceed after all.Now we are told Members of Parliament(MPs)will have a free vote before parliament is dissolved in March.
Parliament has in fact already authorised the government to tame the tobacco trade.MPs voted overwhelmingly in favour of Labour amendments to the children and families bill last February that included the power to regulate for plainpackaging.With sufficient will in Downing Street this would have been done already.Butstrength of will is the missing ingredient where Mr.Cameron and public health are concerned.Hisattitude to state intervention has looked confused ever since his bizarre 2006 lament (叹惜)that chocolate oranges placed seductively at supermarket checkouts fueled obesity.
The government has moved reluctantly into a sensible public health policy,but with such obvious over-cautiousness that any political credit due belongs to the opposition.Without sustained external pressure it seems certain Mr.Cameron would still be hooked on the interests of big tobacco companies.
46.What do chain smokers think of cigarette packaging?
A)Fancy packaging can help to engage new smokers.
B)It has little to do with thequality or taste of cigarettes.
C)Plain packaging discourages non-smokers from taking up smoking.
D)It has little impact on their decision whetheror not to quit smoking.
47.What has the UK government agreed to do concerningtobacco packaging?
A)Pas a lawto standardise cigarette packaging.
B)Rid cigarette cartons of all advertisements.
C)Subsidise companies to adopt plain packaging.
D)Reclassify cigarettes according to packaging.
48.What has happened in Australia where plain packaging is implemented?
A)Premature death rates resulting from smoking have declined.
B)The number of smokers has dropped more sharply than in the UK.
C)The sales of tobacco substitutes have increased considerably.
D)Cigarette sales have been falling far more quickly than in the UK.
49.Why has it taken so long for the UK government to consider plain packaging?
A)Prime Minister Cameron has been reluctant to take action.
B)There is strong opposition from veteran nicotine addicts.
C)ManyMembers of Parliamentareaddicted to smoking.
D)Pressure from tobaccomanufacturers remains strong.
50.What did Cameron say about chocolateoranges at supermarket checkouts?
A)They fueled a lot of controversy.
B)They attracted a lot of smokers.
C)They made more British people obese.
D)They had certain ingredients missing.
Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
What a waste of money!In return for an average of f44000 of debt,students get an average of only 14 hours of lecture and tutorial time a week in Britain.Annual fees have risen from f1000 to f9000 in the last decade,but contact time at university has barely risen at all.And graduating doesn't even provide any guarantee of a decent job:six in tengraduates todayarein non-graduate jobs.
No wonder it has become fashionable to denounce many universities as little more than elaborate con-tricks(骗术).There's a lot for studentstocomplainabout:the repayment threshold for paying back loans will be frozen for five years,meaning that lower-paid graduates have to startrepaying their loans: and maintenance grants have been replaced by loans,meaning that students from poorer backgrounds face higher debt than those with wealthier parents.
Yet it still pays to go to university.If going to university doesn't work out,students pay very little if any of their tuition fees back:you only star repaying when you are earning f21000 a year.Almost half of graduates those who goon to earn less will have a portion of their debt written off.It's not just the lectures and tutorials that are important.Fducation is the sum of what students teach each other in between lectures and seminars.Students do not merely benefit while at university;studies show they go on to be healthier and happier than non-graduates,and also far morelikelyto vote.
Whatever your talents,it is extraordinarily difficult to get a leading job in most fields without having been to university.Recruiters circle elite universities like vultures(兀鹰).Many top firms will not even look at applications from those who lack a 2.1,i.e.,an upper-second class degree,from an elite university.Students at university also meet those likely to be in leading jobs in the future,foming contacts for life.This might not be right,but school-leaverswho fail to acknowledge as much risk making the wrong decision about going to university.
Perhaps the reason why so many universities offer their students so little is theyknow studyingata top university remains a brilliantinvestment even if you don't learn amything.Studying at university will only become less attractive if employers shift their focus away from where someone went to university and there is no sign of that happening anytime soon.School-leavers may moan,but they have little choice but to embrace university and the student debt that comes with it.
51.What is the author's opinion of going touniversity?
A)It is worthwhile after all.
B)It is simply a waste of time.
C)It is hard to say whether it is good or bad.
D)It is too expensive for most young people.
52.What does the author say about the employment situation of British university graduates?
A)Few of them are satisfied with the jobs they are offered.
B)It usually takes a long time for them to find a decent job.
C)Graduates from elite universities usually can get decent jobs.
D)Most of them take jobs which don't require a college degree.
53.What does the author say is important for university students besides classroom instruction?
A)Making sure to obtain an upper-second dass degree.
B)Practical skills they will need in their future careers.
C)Interactions among themselves outside the classroom.
D)Developing independent and creative thinking abilities.
54.What is said to be an advantage of going to university?
A)Learning howto take risks in an ever-changing world.
B)Meeting people who will be helpful to you in the future
C)Having opportunities of playing a leading role in society.
D)Gaining up-to-date knowledge in science and technology.
55.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A)It is natural for students to make complaints about university education.
B)Few students are willing to bear the burden of debt incurred at university.
C)University education is becoming attractive to students who can afford it.
D)The prestige of theuniversity influences employers'recruitment decisions.
