Prices are rising continuously. This condition is what we call infla
40、tion: the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds. And at present this rate of inflation seems to be ris

But it does -.When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good moneystability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of v
42、alue; and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible.

46、. C.rises D.fall DThis morning, a Virgin Atantin 747 Jumbo Jet became the first commercial airplane to fly on biofuel. The short flight from London to Amsterdam used a blend of 20% babassu(棕榈) oil mixed with 80% conventional jet fuel.What was really exciting about the flight was the fact that the en
47、gine did not have to be altered in any way for the biofuel to work While this is a great initial step in trying to reduce CO2(carbon-dioxide)emissions(排放)from airplanes. there are a lot of hurdles (障碍)that still need to be overcome.First and foremost, unlike the normal fuel used to run airplanes (kn
48、own as Jet A),biofuel freezes at high altitudes. Also, JetAfuel burns consistently (at the same pace),which means it provides a safe and reliable fuel for long flights-engineers are not sure if biofuel will be able to do the same.The biggest hurdle to a full biofuel switch is our ability to be able
49、to grow enough crops that can be converted to biofuel. There are two concerns that scientists have in this matter the first is thatthe land to grow the extra crops will come from clearing more of our forests and the second is that since it competes with what we eat, the price of food will go up.Howe
50、ver, Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines, envisions that if biofuel starts to replace oil on a greater basis, it will be manufactured from algae（藻类）produced in sewage treatment plants, not from food sources.Birgin Airlines is not the only one trying to look for alternative fuel sources. Earlier this
51、year, an Airbus A380 used another alternative fuela man-made mix of gas-to-liquid, in one of its four engines. The flight was tested by Rolls Royce (manufacturer of jet engines), in partnership with Shell (an oil company). Rolls Royce is also working with Air New Zealand on a similar project.While a
52、 complete switch to alternative fuel may take years, it is very encouraging to see airlines, oil companies and airplane manufacturers all coming together to try to make it happen!71Why does Virgin Airlines try to replace normal fuel with biofuel?ATo cut down the flight cost of the company.BTo remove
53、 some hurdles for the biofuel to work.CTo reduce CO2 emissions from airplanes. DTo test plane engines on biofuel.72Which is NOT true for a full biofuel switch of airplanes?A Biofuel cannot run for long flights. BBiofuel cannot work at high altitudes.CMan has not enough land to grow extra crops for b
