It comes from the term road rage, used to describe drivers whose rude and hostile attitude toward others can
17、lead to serious accidents or violence.Major airlines are becoming increasingly concerned about air rage and are training their staff to deal with it. At the same time, they are introducing tougher policies and supporting legislation that will allow local police to arrest offenders when they land. A
18、special agreement, known as the 1963 Tokyo Convention, allows for the arrest of troublesome passengers on landing, even if they are not citizens of that country and did not technically commit a crime there.The problem of air rage may start before passengers even board the plane and may become worse
19、on board. Reasons for air rage include heavy traffic on the way to the airport, long check-in lines, the amount of alcohol available both in the waiting area and given out free on board the plane, and strict enforcement of no-smoking laws at the airport and on the flight itself.Airline staff are tra
20、ined to spot a potential troublemaker and to deal with violent behavior by talking to the person.

27、 in your own words on a separate answer sheet.The Nest Hunters of Tam YaiSwiftlets are shy birds that make their nests in the remotest corners of deep caves. They have the ability to fly fast and straight like arrows around the interior of the cave walls. Like some other birds, they build their nest
28、s with their saliva, the juicy liquid from their own mouths. This juice hardens quickly to make a small nest, shaped like a cup. These nests are called “white gold”, because they can be sold for thousands of dollars in the Chinese food markets. It is these nests for which the hunters of Tam Yai are
29、prepared to risk their lives.Tam Yai cave in southern Thailand is the largest network of caves inside a limestone mountain, known as Suwan Kuha, meaning “cave temple”. It has been given this name because it contains a large area decorated with statues of Buddhas. High above the statues, in the far c
30、orners of the cave complex, is where the nests are to be found.The nest hunters climb barefoot up dangerous bamboo poles hundreds of metres above the ground to collect these valuable nests. They rarely use safety equipment, and if they fall, they will die instantly. These nests can only be reached b
31、y the bravest and most skilled climbers, and they are often only able to reach the highest nests with the aid of a stick and a net.Nest hunting is a skill passed down in families from father to son. Because of the profits that can be made, the competition among rival climbers is fierce. There are ar
32、med guards at the entrance to the cave to protect the nests from thieves. In Tam Yai, there are also strict laws to prevent illegal hunting and to ensure proper collecting, or “harvesting”, of the nests. As a result, the birds are a protected species and the number of swiftlets is growing. Nest harv
33、esting begins in March and if the harvest is collected at the correct time of year, each swiftlet will lay eggs three times a season. Once the young birds have hatched and flown, the nests can be collected and sold to the Chinese food industry as the vital ingredient in birds nest soup.The recipe fo
34、r the highly valued birds nest soup is centuries old, and the soup is said to have a value in prolonging life. Chinese doctors often prescribe it for people who are suffering from skin conditions, lung disease and breathing problems.It is important to prepare the nests thoroughly when they arrive in
35、 the restaurant kitchens. Firstly they are washed, soaked and boiled until they have a soft, rubber-like texture. Then they are mixed with meat and coconut and all the ingredients are cooked together. The nest itself is not delicious, in fact it has hardly any taste. As one Chinese chef says: “It is
36、 the other ingredients which give the soup its flavour. The nest is soft and crunchy, and when you prepare it you must be careful to remove all traces of the bird, such as bones or feathers. This is because Chinese people appreciate the way it feels in their mouth rather than the taste and smell.”It
37、 is an exotic dish in a multi-million dollar market. The nests themselves are small; they weigh less than 10 grams and measure just a few centimetres. But for the nest hunters the risks are great indeed.Questions:1. What happens to the saliva when the birds build their nests?2. Why do the hunters ta
38、ke such great risks to collect the nests?3. Which country buys most of the birds nests?4. Why is Suwan Kuha regarded as a temple?5. What makes the job of nest hunting particularly dangerous? Give TWO details.6. According to the graph, how does the price of birds nests in compare to that of 1968?7. H
39、ow is the business of nest hunting in Tam Yai controlled? Give TWO details.8. How is birds nest soup important for health?9. How does the soup get its taste?Paper III: Use of English (20 minutes 60 marks)ClozeSchools Art SaleLast Friday parents helped collect lots of money for a school by buying chi
