Inside the Russian Embassy in London a KGB colonel puffed (吸了一口) a cigarette as he read the handwritten note for the third time. There was no 1        for the writer to express regret,he thought. 2       this problem would be easy. He would 3        that in a moment. The thought of it caused a grim (冷酷，可怕的) smile to 4        and joy to his heart. But he pushed away those thoughts and turned his5      to a framed photograph on his desk. His wife was beautiful,he told himself as he remembered the day they were 6       . That was fortythree years ago,and it had been the proudest and happiest 7        of his life.

What had happened to all that time? Why had it 8        so quickly,and why hadn't he spent more of it with her? Why hadn't he held her close and told her more9      that he loved her? He cursed himself 10       a tear came from the corner of his eye,ran down his cheek,then dropped onto the note. He stiffened (使強(qiáng)硬) and 11        his face with the back of his hand. There was no need for remorse (懊悔，自責(zé)) or regret,he told himself. In a few moments he would join her and at that time would express his undying love and devotion.

After 12       the note ablaze (著火，燃燒) he dropped it into an ashtray and watched it burn. For a time the names 13        moving shadows on the walls of the darkened room,then they nickered (吃吃地笑著) and died out. The colonel dropped the cigarette to        the floor and ground it 14        with his heel,then 15       the photograph to his breast,removed a pistol from his pocket,placed the barrel in his mouth and 16        the trigger. In the ashtray a small 17        of the note 18       . Where it had been wetted by his tear it had 19        to burn,and on that scrap (碎片) of paper 20        the words " died yesterday."

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：

International airlines have rediscovered the business travelers,the man or woman who regu?larly jets from country to country as part of the job. This does not necessarily mean that airlines ever abandoned their business travelers. Indeed,companies like Lufthansa and Swissair would rightly argue that they have always catered (迎合) best for the executive class passengers. But many lines could be accused of concentrating too heavily in the recent past on attracting passen?gers by volume,often at the expense of regular travelers. Too often,they have seemed geared for quantity rather than quality. Operating a major airline in the 1980s is essentially a matter of finding the right mix of passengers. The airlines need to fill up the back end of their widebod?ied jets with low fare passengers,without forgetting that the front end should be filled with peo?ple who pay substantially more for their tickets.

It is no coincidence that the two major airline bankruptcies in 1982 were among the compa?nies specializing in cheap flights. But low fares require consistently full aircraft to make flights economically viable,and in the recent recession (經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退) the volume of traffic has not grown. Equally the large number of airlines jostling (爭奪) for the available passengers has created a huge excess of capacity. The net result of excess capacity and cutthroat competition driving down fares has been to push some airlines into collapse and leave many others hovering (搖擺不定) on the brink (邊沿) .

Against this grim (嚴(yán)酷的) background,it is no surprise that airlines are turning increasingly towards the business travelers to improve their rates of return. They have invested much time and effort to establish exactly what the executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists.

High on the list of priorities (有先考慮的事) is punctuality;an executive's time is money. Inflight service is another area where the airlines are jostling for the executive's attention. The free drinks and headsets and better food are all part of the lure (吸引力) .

(   ) 5. One criticism against many international airlines is that they have,in the recent past,

   A. catered for the more wealthy people

   B. given preferential treatment to executive clients

   C. only met the needs of the regular traveler

   D. marketed their service with the masses in mind

(   ) 6. With the intention of attracting a somewhat different type of passenger,the airlines have now begun to concentrate on         .

   A. ensuring that the facilities offered to the executive are indeed superior

   B. providing facilities enabling business travelers to work on board

   C. organizing activities in which firstclass passengers can participate

   D. installing sleeping compartments where more privacy is ensured

(   ) 7. From the passage we can infer that         .

   A. a successful airline in the 1980s meets the needs not only of the masses but also of the wealthy passengers

   B. it is more comfortable to sit in the back of jet planes

   C. business travelers dislike tourists

   D. only by specializing in cheap flights can airlines avoid bankruptcy

(   ) 8. The case that "the two major airline bankruptcies in 1982 were among the companies specializing in cheap flights" implicates         .

   A. the airlines should not pay more attention to the regular passengers

    B. airlines for low fares must keep a constant stream of passengers in order to stay viable

   C. the airlines should pay more attention to the business passengers

   D. low fares would make companies bankrupted

  Like most kids,you probably don't spend much time worrying about heart disease. After all,hypertension tends to become more common as people reach middle age and older. But doc?tors say it's never too early to start thinking about your heart or about salt.

  Blood pressure has been going up over the past decade in children and teenagers in the United States and many European countries. And a kid with high blood pressure is more likely to become a grownup with hypertension.

  Cutting down on salt might help stop the cycle. In one recent study,researchers from the United Kingdom analyzed 10 trials involving nearly 1,000 kids. The trial results showed that lowering sodium intake by 40 to 50 percent led to a significant decrease in blood pressure,even in infants.

  Reducing salt might also help fight childhood obesity,a growing public health problem. British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking less soda makes kids less likely to gain weight,become obese and develop high blood pressure.

  And salt can affect more than just your heart and weight. A study published in October found that a growing number of kids in the U. S. are suffering from an illness called kidney stones. This painful condition used to mostly affect people in their40s and older. Now,kids as young as 5 are getting it.

  The kidneys are responsible for filtering salt out of the bloodstream. So researchers think that kids' eating too much salt and not drinking enough water are partly to blame for the trend.

(   ) 5. What's the main idea of the passage?

   A. Hypertension is the most popular disease among adults.

   B. People should reduce salt and sugary soft drinks.

   C. People should begin thinking about salt at present. .

   D. Salt will affect your heart and weight.

(   ) 6. If you want to lower the risk of getting heart attack,you'd better         .

   A. drink less and eat less every day if possible

   B. avoid eating too much salt but drink more soft drinks

   C. take regular examinations in the hospital

   D. reduce nearly half of the amount of the salt you take

(   ) 7. The whole text is developed by         .

   A. space   B. evidence   C. time   D. importance

(   ) 8. What may partly cause children to get kidney stones?

   A. Eating too much salt and drinking little water.

   B. Eating too much and doing little exercise.

   C. Sleeping too much and putting on weight.

   D. Taking in too much salt and fat.
