For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitant of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Business can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels , airports, air terminals ,first-class roads ,and other support facilities(设施) needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity ,sewers (阴沟) to handle waste ,and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.46. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage? A. It is extremely important to develop tourism B. Building roads and hotel is essentialC. Support facilities are highly necessaryD. Planning is of great importance to tourism47. Too many tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _.A. a bad impact on other industries B. a change of tourists customsC. over crowdedness of interest D. pressure in traffic48. Not enough tourism can lead to _.A. an increase of unemployment B. a decrease in tourist attractionsC. the higher cost of support facilities D. a rise in price and a fall in pay49. It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will _.A. use up a large amount of water B. weaken their economyC. help establish their traditions D. help improve their life50. The word “ handle” in the last paragraph most probably means _ A. carry away B. pick up C. get in D. take down BLong bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials(商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It Now!”The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changednew houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and its fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But youve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now youve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm restseven with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.51. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A. Buses on the road BFilms on televisionC. Advertisements on billboardsD. Gas stations52. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To show the similarities between long bus trips and TV shows.B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C. To display the differences between long bus trips and TV shows.D. To describe the billboards along the road.53. The writer of this passage would probably favor _.A. bus drivers who werent recklessB. driving aloneC. a television set on the busD. no billboards along the road54. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because _.A. the commercials both on TV shows and on the billboards along the road are funB. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in betweenC. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on busesD. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting55. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are _.A. excitingB. comfortableC. tiringD. boring CKabul,Oct.28(Xinhuanet)- Unknown armed men in military uniform kidnapped(绑架 ) three staff of the United Nations in the Afghan capital city at broad daylight Thursday ,Afghan officials confirmed (确认 ).“Three armed men in military uniform intercepted a UN car in Baraki area of Kabul city early afternoon and took away three persons including two women with them, “ Rohullah, a witness at the site told Xinhua.The kidnappers also badly beat up the Afghan driver of the UN car, added Rohullah who is a lorry driver in the city.
