Tourism

People travel for a lot of reason.Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines.Others are looking for culture,or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places.But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern European are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London,Copenhagen,and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest the year in the rain.This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them.Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resort and beaches for their vacation.They all come for the same reason:sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries.Italy's
30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer.And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides.Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37 million tourists visit yearly,or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can hand1e; The Mediterranean is already one the most polluted seas on earth.And with increased tourism,it's getting worse.The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez.And in many places,swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
None of this,however,is spoiling anyone's fun.The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists.Obviously,they don't go there for clean water and solitude.They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches.They don't even mind the pollution.No matter how dirty the water is,the coastline still looks beautiful.And as long as the sun shines,it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin,London,or Oslo.

According to the passage,which of the following factors might spoil the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A:Polluted water.
B:Crowded buses.
C:Traffic jams.
D:Rainy weather.

    由文章第一段第三句话“Others are looking for culture , or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places.”可知,一些旅游者是为了追寻文化之源,或仅仅是想在名胜之地请人给他们拍几张照。而该题句意是,人们旅行时,喜欢在名胜之地自己给自己拍照。因此该叙述是错误的。故选B。
    由文章第一段最后一句话“But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on."可知,大多数欧洲游客是为了寻找阳光充足的海滩晒日光浴。而该题句意是,作者似乎暗示欧洲人去旅游是因为他们想参观一些历史遗迹或宗教景区。因此该叙述是错误的。故选B。
    由文章第二段第二句话“Residents of cities like London , Copenhagen , and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest of the year in the rain.”可知,由于冬季白天很短,伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹的居民在冬季的大部分时间里都是在昏暗中度过的,而其余的季节又都是阴雨连绵的。文中并没有提到伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹因为没有好的名胜古迹和风景区而不适合人们居住。故选C。
    由文章第三段第四句话“Spain 's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhereelse.”可知,西班牙那漫长的海岸线更成了众多游客慕名前往的地方。因此西班牙比其他国家更加吸引游客,而不是法国。故选B。

    Tourism

    People travel for a lot of reason.Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines.Others are looking for culture,or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places.But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
    Northern European are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London,Copenhagen,and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest the year in the rain.This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them.Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resort and beaches for their vacation.They all come for the same reason:sun!
    The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries.Italy's
    30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer.And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides.Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37 million tourists visit yearly,or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
    But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can hand1e; The Mediterranean is already one the most polluted seas on earth.And with increased tourism,it's getting worse.The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez.And in many places,swimming is dangerous because of pollution.

    The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that______.
    A:they want to see historic remains or religious spots
    B:they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs
    C:they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
    D:they wish to escape from the cold,dark and rainy days back at home

    答案:D
    解析:
    第二段提到北欧游客为了享受阳光而到地中海度假,因为北欧日照短而且阴雨天多。所以选择D。
    第二段中提到伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹的地理位置:地处北欧;气候:冬季日照时间短,长期的阴雨天气。与阳光充足的地中海相比,这三个城市不适合度假,因此选A。
    第三段介绍“西班牙长长的海岸线较之其他旅游胜地吸引了更多的游客”。因此选择B。
    本句介绍西班牙的游客数量,意思是“西班牙有多少居民,就有多少游客”,即西班牙游客的数量与居民的数量一样多。所以应选B。
    最后一段介绍虽然地中海存在污染、交通堵塞,但游客兴致不减,他们去地中海是为了享受阳光。因此阴雨的天气会败坏他们的游兴。

    The Race Into Space

    American millionaire Dennis Tito will always be famous.He was the first tourist in space."I spent sixty
    years on Earth and eight days in space and from my viewpoint,it was two separate lives,"Tito explained.He
    loxed his time in space."Being in space and looking back at the earth is one of the most rewarding experi-
    ences a human being can have."
    This kind of experience isn't cheap.It cost$20 million.However,Tito achieved his dream,so he was
    happy."For me it was a life dream.It was a dream that began when I didn't have any money,"he
    told reporters.
    On 24th,April 2002,Mark Shuttleworth became the world's second space tourist.Shuttleworth is a South
    African businessman.At the age of twenty-eight,he also paid $20 million for the eight-day trip.
    Both Tito and Shuttleworth bought their tickets from a company called Space Adventures.The company
    has around 100 people already on their waiting list for flights into space.The spaceship to take them doesn't
    exist yet.
    Many of the customers are people who like adventure.They are the kind of people who also want to
    climb Mount Qomolangma.Other customers are people who love space.However,these people are worried.
    Because it's so expensive,only very rich people can go into space.They want space travel to be available to
    more people.

    That day may soon be here.InterOrbital Systems(IOS)plans to send up to four tourists a week into
    space.The tours will depart from an island in Tonga.The company promises a package that includes forty-five
    days of astronaut training in Russia and California,seven days in space and a vacation in Tonga,for $2 million.
    However,space flight is still very dangerous.Bill Readdy is NASA's deputy assistant administrator for
    space flight.He says that the chances of dying are about 1 in 500.Because of this,it may take time before
    space tourism really takes off.You might be able to go up,but will you come down?

    IOS will send its tourists into space from Tonga.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    短文第一段介绍了美国富翁丹尼斯?蒂托作为第一位太空游客的经历。因此,本题的 答案为A。
    短文第三段指出马克?沙特尔沃思是一位南非商人。因此本题与文章内容不符。答 案为B。
    短文第四段第一句指出:“蒂托和沙特尔沃思都是在一家被称作‘太空探险’的公司购 买的太空旅行票”。而没有涉及他们攀登珠穆朗玛峰的信息。因此答案为C。
    短文第四段第二句提到:“这家公司已有一百多人在等待飞往太空的名单上登记。”本 句与文章内容相符,因此,答案为A。
    短文第四段最后指出:“而携带他们的宇宙飞船目前并不存在”。因此,答案为B。
    短文第六段谈到了太空轨道传送公司的计划并指出太空旅行将从汤加群岛的一个岛 屿出发,因此答案为A。
    短文最后一段提到贝尔?瑞迪指出太空旅行的死亡几率是五百分之一。本题与文章 内容相符。答案为A。第3部分:概括大意与完成句子

    Travelling Is My Life
    1. I am very fortunate.I am now a much-travelled woman,but until I was 20 I had never been anywhere more remote than Londan .And coming from a country village in the far south I was struck by the architectural beauty of the capital.I understood immediately why foreign tourists descend on it in their thousands.
    2. The first time I traveled abroad was when I went over to France on a cross Channel ferry.It was a school trip to Paris for a week,and I thought it was wonderful.The sights,the sounds,the smells,the language-they were all wonderful. I had never experienced anything like it,and the week had a profound effect on me.It gave me the travel bug!
    3. As a young girl I was always shy of strangers.I certainly had no plans to travel a lot.I left school and trained as a journalist on a local paper.and somehow slowly began to concentrate on travel .I had a procession of jobs before I got this one with the magazine.Although I still write articles on other subjects,my main occupation now is writing travel and tourism.
    4. I can appreciate now why tourists go halfway across the world to visit a place.I was brought up in the vicinity of a major British tourist attraction,but never went there myself and couldn't understand foreign visitors.You read about something halfway across the world and want to see it for yourself. I remember that was just why I went walking in the Himalayas and looked up at Everest, and why I went on a strange but wonderful cruise in the Antarctic .You can read about a place,but it is totally different to be there,to see,feel,smell and hear everything yourself.
    5. Perhaps not surprisingly I have been to a lot of popular tourist resorts in Europe,Africa,the Far East and the West Indies,for example.But I like to try and find those unknown,inaccessible places-not only for myself,but also for people who want something different. Sometimes it's frightening .I remember visiting a village on the side of a steep hill in Bolivia where the inhabitants stood motionless as I walked in and didn't move until I walked out.
    6. The career of the previous travel writer on the magazine I work for now came to an abrupt end when he quite simply disappeared somewhere in South America.He was on a special journey and had told someone at his hotel that he had found a native to ferry him up a river to some remote villages in the jungle.Nothing has been heard from him since then.One day I'd like to try and find out what happened to him.

    This is an article that______.
    A: those unexpected,unknown and inaccessible places.
    B: a travel writer for a famous magazine tells us a little about her life and profession
    C: never been anywhere
    D: a journalist on a local paper
    E: been to London the remotest place for me at that time
    F: tells us some interesting tourist resorts all over the world

    答案:B
    解析:
    本段大意为:初次品味旅游。


    本段大意为:成为一名旅游作家之路。


    本段大意为:旅游者的精神。


    本段大意为:总在寻找不在预料中的(旅游)地方。


    总体推断法。通读全文,可以发现这篇文章是一名著名杂志的旅游作家写的一篇关于她的生活和职业的文章。故可以确定B为正确答案。


    逻辑推理法。详见文章第一段第二句“...but until I was 20 I had never been any-where more remote than London.”可以逻辑推理出;20岁前,作者去过的最远的地方是伦敦。故可以确定E为正确答案。


    直接定位法。详见文章第三段第三句“I left school and trained as journalist on a local paper...”可以直接确定D为正确答案。


    句意剖析法。详见文章第五段第一、二句,意为:我曾去过许多著名的旅游胜地,这并不令人惊讶,但我喜欢去那些未知的、难以接近的地方。可以确定A为正确答案。

    The local people sometimes kill tourists when ______.
    A

    the tourists are much richer than themselves

    B

    the tourists are robbed

    C

    the tourists do not enjoy local customs and habits

    D

    the tourists resist attempts to rob them


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    录音中提到“Seeing tourists who seem to be much richer than themselves,the local inhabitants are often tempted to steal from them. Sometimes tourists resist and get killed…”,意思是:当地居民看到游客比他们有钱便试图去偷去抢,有时如果游客反抗便被杀害。所以D项“当游客反抗企图抢劫他们的行为时”符合原文意思。
    【录音原文】
      Most countries in the world now welcome tourists because of the money they bring in. Many countries make great efforts to encourage tourism, and many also depend on what they earn from it to keep their economies going.
      People who like adventure will even try to visit countries where travel is difficult and costs are high. Companies regularly arrange trips through the Sahara desert, or to Himalayas for whoever enjoys such trips, but the numbers of visitors are small. Most tourists try to choose whichever places have fairly comfortable, cheap hotels, quite good food, reasonable safety, sunny weather and plenty of amusements or unusual things to see. Their choice of a place for a holiday also depends very much on when they can get away;it is not very pleasant to go to a place when it is having its worst weather.
      One of the big problems of a nation wishing to attract a lot of tourists is the cost of building hotels for them. Building big hotels swallows up a lot of money, and many of the countries that need the tourists are poor. What they spend on building has to be borrowed produces only chains of ugly hotels wherever there are beauty spots supposed to attract tourists.
      Another problem is that more and more big international companies are building hotels all over the world, so that the profits from a hotel often do not stay in the country in which it has been built.
      And there is also the question of training staff, teaching them foreign languages, how to cook the kind of food that the foreign tourists expect, and so on. In many countries, special colleges and courses have been set up for this.
      Crime can also be a problem. Seeing tourists who seem to be much richer than themselves, the local inhabitants are often tempted to steal from them. Sometimes tourists resist and get killed, and then other tourists refuse to come to the country.

    Modern Sun Worshippers People travel for a lot of reasons.Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines.Others are looking for culture,or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places.But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on. Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it.Residents of cities like London,Copenhagen,and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest of the year in the rain.This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them.Every summer,more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation.They all come for the same reason:sun!

    Cities like London,Copenhagen,and Amsterdam are not good cities because they lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:C
    解析:
    由文章第一段第三句话“Others are looking for culture , or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places.”可知,一些旅游者是为了追寻文化之源,或仅仅是想在名胜之地请人给他们拍几张照。而该题句意是,人们旅行时,喜欢在名胜之地自己给自己拍照。因此该叙述是错误的。故选B。
    由文章第一段最后一句话“But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on."可知,大多数欧洲游客是为了寻找阳光充足的海滩晒日光浴。而该题句意是,作者似乎暗示欧洲人去旅游是因为他们想参观一些历史遗迹或宗教景区。因此该叙述是错误的。故选B。
    由文章第二段第二句话“Residents of cities like London , Copenhagen , and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest of the year in the rain.”可知,由于冬季白天很短,伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹的居民在冬季的大部分时间里都是在昏暗中度过的,而其余的季节又都是阴雨连绵的。文中并没有提到伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹因为没有好的名胜古迹和风景区而不适合人们居住。故选C。
    由文章第三段第四句话“Spain 's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhereelse.”可知,西班牙那漫长的海岸线更成了众多游客慕名前往的地方。因此西班牙比其他国家更加吸引游客,而不是法国。故选B。
    由文章第三段第二句话“Italy 's 30 , 000 hotels are booked solid every summer.”可知,每年夏季,意大利的3万家旅馆全部客满。故选A。
    由文章第三段最后一句话“37 million tourists visit yearly , or one tourist for every personliving in Spain.”可知,每年有3700万游客去西班牙旅游,换句话说,旅游者与西班牙居民的人数相当。故选A。
    由文章最后一段最后三句话可知,被污染的水并不能影响游客们的兴致,只要阳光普照,地中海地区就比阴冷多雨的北欧好得多。故选B。

    Travelling Is My Life
    1. I am very fortunate.I am now a much-travelled woman,but until I was 20 I had never been anywhere more remote than Londan .And coming from a country village in the far south I was struck by the architectural beauty of the capital.I understood immediately why foreign tourists descend on it in their thousands.
    2. The first time I traveled abroad was when I went over to France on a cross Channel ferry.It was a school trip to Paris for a week,and I thought it was wonderful.The sights,the sounds,the smells,the language-they were all wonderful. I had never experienced anything like it,and the week had a profound effect on me.It gave me the travel bug!
    3. As a young girl I was always shy of strangers.I certainly had no plans to travel a lot.I left school and trained as a journalist on a local paper.and somehow slowly began to concentrate on travel .I had a procession of jobs before I got this one with the magazine.Although I still write articles on other subjects,my main occupation now is writing travel and tourism.
    4. I can appreciate now why tourists go halfway across the world to visit a place.I was brought up in the vicinity of a major British tourist attraction,but never went there myself and couldn't understand foreign visitors.You read about something halfway across the world and want to see it for yourself. I remember that was just why I went walking in the Himalayas and looked up at Everest, and why I went on a strange but wonderful cruise in the Antarctic .You can read about a place,but it is totally different to be there,to see,feel,smell and hear everything yourself.
    5. Perhaps not surprisingly I have been to a lot of popular tourist resorts in Europe,Africa,the Far East and the West Indies,for example.But I like to try and find those unknown,inaccessible places-not only for myself,but also for people who want something different. Sometimes it's frightening .I remember visiting a village on the side of a steep hill in Bolivia where the inhabitants stood motionless as I walked in and didn't move until I walked out.
    6. The career of the previous travel writer on the magazine I work for now came to an abrupt end when he quite simply disappeared somewhere in South America.He was on a special journey and had told someone at his hotel that he had found a native to ferry him up a river to some remote villages in the jungle.Nothing has been heard from him since then.One day I'd like to try and find out what happened to him.

    Paragraph 5______
    A: The Tourist Mentality
    B: Always Looking For the Unexpected
    C: A Late Developer
    D: The Road to Being A Travel Writer
    E: A Sudden End to A Career
    F: The First Taste of Travel

    答案:B
    解析:
    本段大意为:初次品味旅游。


    本段大意为:成为一名旅游作家之路。


    本段大意为:旅游者的精神。


    本段大意为:总在寻找不在预料中的(旅游)地方。


    总体推断法。通读全文,可以发现这篇文章是一名著名杂志的旅游作家写的一篇关于她的生活和职业的文章。故可以确定B为正确答案。


    逻辑推理法。详见文章第一段第二句“...but until I was 20 I had never been any-where more remote than London.”可以逻辑推理出;20岁前,作者去过的最远的地方是伦敦。故可以确定E为正确答案。


    直接定位法。详见文章第三段第三句“I left school and trained as journalist on a local paper...”可以直接确定D为正确答案。


    句意剖析法。详见文章第五段第一、二句,意为:我曾去过许多著名的旅游胜地,这并不令人惊讶,但我喜欢去那些未知的、难以接近的地方。可以确定A为正确答案。
