Ⅵ. 阅读理解

Tourism (旅游业) is one of the world’s largest industries. Many countries depend heavily on tourism as an important part of their economy (经济), while other countries such as some of the smaller Caribbean island nations—are almost completely dependent on tourism.

Despite its economic advantages, tourism has disadvantages, too. While countries spend millions attracting tourists, they are also under the pressure that tourism brings.

One of the biggest problems is environmental. The building of roads and hotels can quickly destroy those very beautiful places. Development on wetlands, for example, influences wildlife; forests disappear as they are cleared to s make way for buildings and to provide fuel (燃料) . In addition, the tourist industry also puts a huge pressure on water people need. In dry Mediterranean areas, tourists use almost twice as much water as local people when swimming in the pool.

Tourism is also responsible for producing plenty of waste. Cruise ships in the Caribbean produce a lot of rubbish-more than 70 000 tons each year. It even has an influence on places far away like the Himalayas, the world’s highest mountain, which has more than 100 tons of rubbish sitting on it.

In spite of these problems, tourism can be good for communities and the environment. The park-entrance fees (费用) are paid for the protection of places of interest or the animals. What’s more, tourism brings people closer to nature, and can give them a better understanding of the environment and the result of destroying it. This leads to pressure on local governments to protect these beautiful areas, and can result in the protection of endangered plants and animals. Also, it can provide people with more opportunities to find jobs in the tourist industry.

Although tourism has many advantages, it clearly has a bad influence as well. The challenge for local and national governments is to manage tourism so that communities can benefit economically, and yet at the same time, make sure that the tourist areas are kept for all to enjoy.

1. Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly talk about the ______ of tourism.

A. disadvantages   B. development  C. importance  D. survey

2. The writer shows the waste problem is serious by ______ .

A. telling stories  B. listing facts  C. asking questions  D. making comparisons

3. According to Paragraph 5, which of the following are the advantages of tourism?

①The money from tourism is used to protect the environment.

②Tourism can help people better understand the local culture.

③People can get more chances to find jobs related to tourism.

④Humans and nature are becoming closer with the help of tourism.

A. ①②③  B. ①②④  C. ①③④  D. ②③④

4. The writer advises the government to ______ at the end of the passage.

A. attract more tourists    B. care about the economy  

C. develop the tourist industry   D. manage tourism well

Ⅶ. 任务型阅读

I jiving in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. Let’s have a look at the information below.

Chinese people do not have the same idea of privacy as Americans do. They talk about topics such as ages, income or marriage, which Americans think is annoying and makes them uncomfortable.

In China, elders are traditionally treated with a lot of respect while the young are cherished. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.

Chinese people think that hanging out together from time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who should give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There re work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.

As is well known, the Chinese like to save. They always plan how to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education.

Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, while Americans pay more attention to good character and faith.

Basically, China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the USA, it’s because you are great. While in China, if you achieve something, it’s because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do depends on the greater whole, while in America individual value is celebrated.
