A. describe the role mice play in scientific research B. report on the results of the Mice Drawer System C. analyze how mice could pave the way to Mars D. change people’s traditional attitudes toward mice D Is pricing a plane ticket based on the passenger39。 s weight fair? If you39。 re taking an international flight on Samoa Air today, your fare will be based on your weight, along with that of your luggage. The cost is 93 cents to $ for each kilogram. The average American woman weighs kilograms, far from the ideal weight for her average height. Her ticket on Samoa Air, at the $1 a kilogram rate, would cost $. But let39。 s be honest here. Since the average American woman is overweight, the ticket will cost her more. Samoa Air Chief Executive Chris Langton said, ―Planes are run by weight and not by seat. The plane can only carry a certain amount of weight and that weight needs to be paid.‖He believes other airlines should adopt the policy. It’ s not a new idea. I remember a newspaper columnist years ago who put forth the idea that the heavier among us should pay more for their seats on planes, trains and buses. Who hasn’ t been squeezed into a middle seat between two plussized folks on a flight? It’ s happened to me。 one time my married seatmates had purposefully chosen their seats to have more space until a soldout flight put me between them. Not one of my better flying experiences. What if such a policy is adopted by some airlines in the United States? Could such pricing provide a muchneeded motivation for Americans to reduce body weight? I hope so. But, as we know, more than onethird of us are obese and another third are overweight. The high probability is that the heavy customers will not suddenly lose weight or stop flying, but will instead choose a different airline, simply moving the supposed problem elsewhere. There39。 s no doubt that the heavier will suffer more discrimination (歧视 ). Discrimination against the overweight in the United States has increased by 66 percent over the last decade —―and is parable to rates of racial discrimination, especially among women,‖wrote Yale University researcher Rebecca M. Puhl. Your weight can affect your salary, your chances for employment, how others view you and even, now, your air fares. ―If the policy succeeds it may encourage the spread of body discrimination across different industries and the wider culture,‖ said one British editorial writer. He holds that it is panies39。 duty to provide equipment that meet the needs of their customers. And we39。 ll see how effective it is as a business model. 32. In Paragraph 3, Chris Langton _____. A. explained the reasons for the ticket policy B. showed the difficulties of the ticket policy C. expressed his doubt about the ticket policy D. discussed the advantages of the ticket policy 33. If some American airlines adopt the ticket policy_____. A. they will possibly lose a lot of customers B. there will be less overweight people C. people will use other forms of transportation D. the problem of overweight planes will be partly solved 34. The author mentions Puhl39。 s study to show_____. A. women are less likely to suffer discrimination B. racial discrimination is getting worse nowadays C. the ticket policy will have little influence on the obese D. the ticket policy will make body discrimination more serious 35. Which best describes the British editorial writer39。 s attitude to Samoa Air39。 s policy? A. Optimistic. B. Defensive. C. Disapproving. D. Casual. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Thanks to the magic of the Inter, booking your yearly trip is just a few clicks away.
