than a place to catch planes. At T5 they have perfected the art of making you stand in long, frustrating lines. After you spend twenty minutes in line getting your boarding pass scanned, you move to another long line to have your passport checked. T5 takes the art of waiting to a new level, so much so that even though I had nearly an hour to make a connecting flight(转机) , I missed my connection and spent the next three hours in an airport waiting hall. Heathrow views itself as a gateway to the world. But you‘d better not be in a hurry to pass through it. T5 reflects the old days of British globalization – the 1800s– when it took at least 80 days to get around the world. Nonstop to Brazil Sao Paulo‘s Guarulhos International Airport, one of three in the city and Brazil‘s busiest, has 260 checkin counters, operates around the clock, and struggles to keep up with demand. It has few passengers waiting halls and relatively little shopping. It‘s difficult to connect to the Inter. Plans call for two additional terminals, a third runway, and an express train into the city. In such a developing country, Guarulhos keeps running faster, but it hasn‘t yet caught up. New Delhi Smoke Firsttime visitors arriving at New Delhi‘s Indira Gandhi International Airport would be concerned about the smell that enters the aircraft as the plane is slowing down on the runway. It‘s caused by what Delhi weather forecasters call ―smoke‖. When you enter the terminal, you sense the overcrowded India. It seems like all billion people are trying to get through Customs with you. Heathrow has its queues。 Gandhi has countless human bodies pressing ahead. Be prepared to wait an hour or two before you enter the country. The airport reflects the backwardness of the Third World, where just about everything is falling apart. A new terminal is being built, but like everything in India, it will take what seems like forever to plete the job. Charles de Gaulle International Airport Charles de Gaulle International Airport, as you would suspect, is beautiful. Its Terminal 2 is an architectural marvel, with high ceilings and lots of light. Attractive though it may be, it‘s hard to get around. Try finding your way from a gate in section 2A to a gate in section 2F. It‘s all in the same terminal but it feels like you are running a maze, especially when Paris is not your final destination. Charles de Gaulle looks great, but like French high fashion, it‘s not very functional. 46. The underlined word ―Galleria‖ in the 2nd paragraph probably refers to the name of ______. A. a shopping mall B. High Street store C. an airport D. a hotel 47 .What does the writer dislike most about London‘s Heathrow Airport ? A. It‘s more like a shopping mall than an airport. B. He had to get his passport checked and boarding pass scanned. C. He had to wait in the long and slow lines. D. The flight he intended to take didn‘t take off on time. 48. From the passage, we can know that ______. A. You have to wait long both at Heathrow and Gandhi because of too many passengers B. Guarulhos fails to meet the needs of passengers though it tries its best C. there should be no trouble in finding your way at Charles de Gaulle D. Heathrow lives up to its name of a gateway to the world 49. By writing the passage, the writer tried to ________. A. point out the weak points of these airports B. introduce the most important airports in the world C. pare different airports among Europe, South America and Asia D. tell us airports are mirrors of the countries that build them C “ Tweenager‖ is the new term being used in the UK to describe kids at either 8—12 or 10—13 years old. More and more panies are beginning to create products and services for tweenagers. The Disney pany sells music and film to tweenagers and their parents. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. It‘s all about sales, which suggests that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they‘ve ever had before. Most kids in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Parents have more money to give their kids than previously, since parents are having fewer children. In addition, the divorce rate in the UK is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to, so many parents try to pensate by buying presents for their children. It‘s a bad habit for both parents and kids to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from mercial marketing and the demands of their children. UK kids today are very media and puterliterate. A lot of kids have a TV, if not a puter, in their bedrooms. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well, since 24% of UK kids live in singleparent families, so people now say that ―kids are getting older younger‖. Therefore, it‘s no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents and have more freedom than previous generations. UK tweenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes. That‘s changed. Now, they are much more fashion conscious and concerned about their image. Many tweenagers outgrow the bright colours and fashions of their tweenage years and go for something darker and more rebellious. Surely none of the above is a good thing. The UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing panies from directly marketing their products and services at children. 50. Why are more products and services created for tweenagers? A. Because children education is being more important. B. Because children have more money to buy them. C. Because it is better to study music from an early age. D. Because more panies are cr。
