{{B}}Questions 16-20 are based on the following
passage:{{/B}} In Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong
Province, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport resumed its international
flights to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and other Southeast
Asian nations and regions early this month, said an airport official yesterday.
And the airport's flow of international passengers for July has reached 80 per
cent of the figure for the corresponding month of the previous year.
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport had to cancel some international
services to Southeast Asian nations and regions because of the outbreak of SARS
beginning in April, the official said. The official predicted his airport's
international service would return to normal operation and handle even more
international passengers in August. Currently, the Guangzhou
airport is operating 22 international flights to 20 foreign metropolises. And
nine foreign airlines have resumed their international flights to the
airport.
