填空题 GLOBALI$ATON For many, the surprise of finding a McDonald's outlet in Moscow or Beijing provides no greater symbol of the spread of globalisation. Used to explain all manners of economic, cultural and political change that has swept over the world in recent decades, globalisation is a term that continues to cause intellectual debate. Some see it as inevitable and desirable, but it is a contentious issue with an increasing number of individual citizens around the world questioning whether or not the implications of globalisation, in terms of international distribution of income and decreasing poverty, are effective. The beginning of globalisation is inextricably linked to technological improvements in the field of international communications and a fall in the cost of international transport and travel. Entrepreneurs and power-brokers took advantage of these advances to invest capital into foreign countries. This became the basic mechanism for globalisation with the trading of currencies, stocks and bonds growing rapidly. Breaking down the barriers through the free movement of capital, free trade and political cooperation was seen as a positive move that would not only improve living standards around the world, but also raise political and environmental awareness, especially in developing countries. Predictions were that nations would become more outward-looking in their policy-making, as they searched for opportunities to increase economic growth. Roles would be assigned to various players around the globe as capital providers, exporters of technology, suppliers of services, sources of labour, etc. Consequently, countries and economies could concentrate on what they were good at and, as a result, markets would experience increased efficiency.The process of economic globalisation was without doubt led by commercial and financial power-brokers but there were many others who supported the integration of world economies. As multinational companies searched for new work-forces and raw materials, non-government organisations and lobby groups were optimistic that in the wake of global business, indigenous cultures might be given a reprieve with an injection of foreign capital. This would, in turn, provide local employment opportunities. By spreading trade more evenly between developed and developing nations, it was touted that poverty would decrease and living standards would rise. Governments saw the chance to attract multinational companies with tax-breaks and incentives to set up in-country, effectively buying employment opportunities for their constituents. By the late 1990s, some trepidation started to surface and globalisation faced its most public setback. The spectacular economic collapses in Korea, Brazil, Thailand and other countries were considered, rightly or wrongly, to be caused by the outwardly-oriented trade policies that globalisation espoused such as the growth of exports. These countries had enjoyed record growth for a relatively short time, but when faced with difficulties, the growth appeared unsustainable. The vulnerability and risk associated with reliance on exports and international markets was made clear. Meanwhile though, through the 1990s and early 2000s, multinational companies continued to do well financially. Profits were increasing, keeping shareholders happy, but the anticipated spin-offs were not being felt at the workers' level or in local communities in the form of increased employment. These successful companies did not want to share the benefits of the increased efficiency they were receiving as a result of introducing their own work practices. The multinationals were setting their own agendas, with governments, in many cases, turning a blind eye fearing that they might pull out and cause more unemployment. Free trade was now accused of restricting governments, who were no longer setting the rules, and domestic markets felt increasingly threatened by the power that the multinationals had. The negative consequences of globalisation have now become a concern for many protest groups in different nations. If the concept of globalisation was meant to benefit all nations, they say, then it has failed. Rich countries, like America, continue to grow richer and more powerful with many of the head offices of multinationals based there. The economies of some developing countries though, especially in Africa, are making only negligible if any progress in the war against poverty. As a result, protestors are confronting the advocates of globalisation on their own doorstep as power-players meet at economic summits in already-globalised cities. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) maintains that globalisation has succeeded in establishing a more equitable share of world trade and remains optimistic that the gulf between rich and poorer nations, given the right conditions, will be considerably lessened in the future. They point out that no country can afford to opt out of globalisation and, indeed, would be foolish to attempt to do so. They maintain that 'non-globalising developing countries' have made slower progress than 'globalising developing countries' in the past two decades. Moreover, they suggest that developing countries with huge debts be assisted so that their economies can catch up with richer countries and integrate more effectively at an international level. Regardless of what IMF affirms, if the benefits of globalisation are to be more evenly spread, the goal of reducing world poverty needs to be re-prioritised. If this means imposing rules and standards on multinational companies that are acceptable internationally, then this will need to be done sooner rather than later. At this stage, the multinationals and their shareholders appear to be the only winners. The backlash against globalisation has already begun.

Geoengineering projects A range of geoengineering ideas has been put forward, which aim either to prevent the melting of the ice caps or to stop the general rise in global temperatures. One scheme to discourage the melting of ice and snow involves introducing (19) to the Arctic because of their colour. The build-up of ice could be encouraged by dispersing ice along the coasts using special ships and changing the direction of some (20) but this scheme is dependent on certain weather conditions. Another way of increasing the amount of ice involves using (21) to bring water to the surface. A scheme to stop ice moving would use (22) but this method is more likely to be successful in preventing the ice from travelling in one direction rather than stopping it altogether. A suggestion for cooling global temperatures is based on what has happened in the past after (23) and it involves creating clouds of gas.

填空题Flying without Wings A The airship may well prove the solution to some pressing transport issues today. One reason is that the airship is more environmentally friendly than other airborne vehicles. It obtains most of its lift from lighter-than-air gas, usually ultra-safe helium. The engines therefore drive the vehicle through the air, rather than lifting it off the ground, resulting in considerable fuel economy. B The fascinating story of the airship began in the 13th century, when Roger Bacon, the Franciscan friar with a predilection for experimenting with gunpowder, first considered buoyant flight. He thought it could be achieved by filling a thin-walled metal sphere with rarefied air or liquid fire. C In 1670, Francesco Lana de Terzi, an Italian, calculated that four such spheres would be needed to lift a boat. But it was a French Engineer Corps officer, Jean-Baptiste-Marie Meusnier, who developed the first practical airship concept, in 1784, by devising an elongated balloon driven by airscrews. D It never got off the ground, but it did inspire Britain"s first aeronautical scientist, Sir George Cayley, who in 1816, took the Frenchman"s design one step further to create an egg-shaped balloon with steam-powered propellers. But France won the race, achieving the first steam-powered airship flight in 1852, when the three horsepower, hydrogen-filled Aerial Steamer, designed by Henri Giffard, flew in Paris, zipping along at a glorious 7 mph. E A motor driven by electricity was next, and the pioneers were Charles Renard and Arthur Krebs, who built La France, a 60-metre-long airship fitted with a huge wooden propeller at the front, the first that could be steered accurately, calm weather permitting. It was also considerably faster than its steam-powered predecessor 32 years earlier-reaching a magnificent 12 mph. F But all these pioneers soon made way for the master, a German aristocrat and army cavalry officer named Ferdinand von Zeppelin. He designed a large military airship, with internal gas bags in a rigid, cigar-shaped, aluminium structure. It was turned down. Zeppelin resigned and established the Zeppelin Airship Corporation in 1898 to build his first airship. The LZ-1 was successfully launched from its floating hangar on Lake Constance on 2 July, 1900, its petrol engine taking it on a 17-mile flight at an average speed of 13 mph. The age of airship travel had begun. G During the First World War, nearly 300 British airships protected allied convoys from submarine attack, while the Zeppelin undertook several successful bombing raids on Britain. But they made a large target themselves and were filled with explosive hydrogen. Around 40 were destroyed. H The airship reached its zenith in 1929 when the Graf Zeppelin circumnavigated the globe, travelling 25,000 miles at an impressive 45 mph. But the destruction by fire of the famous Hindenburg in 1937 brought to an end the golden age of the airship and the prospect of further long-haul, lighter-than-air aviation. I Unlike their predecessors, modern airships, or "blimps", are non-rigid, maintaining their shape solely through the pressure of inert, non-flammable helium in the main body of the ship, without use of any internal skeleton. At the rear end of the airship, a large vertical rudder is used to steer it left and right by means of pedals in the cockpit, and the flat movable fin protruding from the side enables upward or downward movement of the ship. At the lowest point of this part of the blimp, a small tail-wheel protects it from contact with the ground when landing or moored. J Directly under the body of the airship is the gondola: the cabin containing the cockpit, engine compartment, and facilities for crew, passengers, and cargo. Trailing from the front of the ship are the mooring lines, which hang free in flight but are used to control it when taking off or landing. These are attached to the spindle: the narrow pointed component right at the front, which in turn is held by the rounded, flattened nose cone, covering the extreme forward part of the ship. K The gondola can be more spacious than any modern aircraft. The airships can also stay airborne for long periods. While fixed-and rotary-wing aircraft measure flight time in hours, an airship can stay aloft for days, hovering silently. At sea, airships provide over-the-horizon observation coverage up to 130 nautical miles against small radar targets, such as cruise missiles. Airships are also employed in civil operations to catch drug smugglers, and to transmit television images of sport and outdoor concerts as they happen. L Airship holidays are many and varied. For a tranquil experience, you can cruise the spectacular landscape of Swiss mountains and lakes. In Africa, you can catch a glimpse of the wildlife on ecologically sound, danger-free "airship safaris". And if you want to experience Las Vegas without losing your shirt in the casinos, an American tour operator offers weekday trips with breathtaking views of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip from a 165-foot-long, nine-seater airship. M Finally, you could have caught the opening of the last Olympic Games, with an airship travel company that offered aerial surveillance of the action. You would have had a truly Olympian view of the torch"s final journey as it climbed those last few steps to ignite the flame. Questions Complete the table below.
