Passage 1

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants 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 country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract 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 country's economy can suffer.

On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses 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 needed by tourists 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 support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers 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.

6. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before this passage?

A. Support facilities are highly necessary.
B. Building roads and hotels is essential.
C. It is extremely important to develop tourism.
D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.

答案：

解析：应该是主题句，该答案符合。

7. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ___________.

A. pressure on traffic
B. a change of tourists’ customs
C. over-crowdedness of places of interest
D. a bad effect on other industries 

答案：

解析：唯有该答案没有提到。

8. Not enough tourism can lead to ______________.

A. an increase of unemployment
B. the higher cost of support facilities
C. a decrease in tourist attractions
D. a rise in price and a fall in pay

答案：

解析：第三段表明此意。

9. It is good for local people to know well that tourism will ______________.

A. use up a large amount of water

B. help establish their customs

C. weaken their economy

D. help improve their life

Passage 2

“Keep an eye on Esther. I’ll be back in a second,” Joy Warren said to her three-year-old son Stephen, who was sitting in the back of the Buick. She didn’t like leaving the children alone in the car, but the baby was sleeping soundly. And it would only be a moment.

  She had hardly walked 40 yards when she saw the car moving. It headed straight towards the river. Unable to swim, Joy shouted, “My babies are in that car!”

  Daniel Whitehead, a 17-year-old student, was walking by the river when the Buick crashed into the water just yards ahead. Without thinking, Daniel jumped in. Though a competitive swimmer, he was shocked by the icy chill.

  Two minutes earlier, Skip Womack had pulled to a halt as the Buick ran in front of him. Now seeing it hit the water and hearing Joy’s cries, Skip got out of his truck and jumped into the water. He had only one thought: If I don’t get them out, they’ll drown.

  Daniel reached the car and grabbed a door handle. But the water was only four inches beneath the window, and the door wouldn’t open. With one powerful punch, Daniel and Skip broke a window. Daniel reached inside and lifted Stephen out. He placed him on his back and set out for shore. At the same time, Skip squeezed himself through the window. He managed to free Esther from beneath her seat belt. After he got out of the car with the baby, he held her over the water and swam toward the shore. All this took place just seconds before the Buick disappeared beneath the water.

  Later, driving home, Skip thought of his wife and children—how close he’d come to leaving them behind. He thought of the miracle he’d lived through, and how two children were still alive because he and Daniel happened to be in the right place at the right time.

11. Why did Joy leave her children in the car?

A. She did not like shopping with a child in hand.

B. She did not like waking up her baby.

C. Stephen was big enough to take care of his sister.

D. It was icy cold outside.

答案：

解析：第一段第二句表明此意。

12. Daniel and Skip, who saved the lives of the two kids, ___.

A. had been good friends

B. were two close friends of Joy Warren’s

C. were Joy Warren’s neighbors

D. were strangers before the accident

答案：

解析：从全文可以推测出来。

13. How did Daniel get Stephen out of danger?

A. He squeezed into the car and carried him out.

B. He pulled him out through the broken window.

C. He freed him from his seatbelt before he got him out.

D. He held him over the water and swam back to shore.

  答案：

解析：第5段表明此意。：

14. What happened to Joy Warren’s Buick?

A. It had four inches of water in it.

C. It was pulled out of water and set on the shore.

  答案：

解析：最后一段表明此意。

Passage 3

Personal computers and the Internet (互联网) give people new choices about how to spend their time.

Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.

E-mail (电子邮件) makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't automatically much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic (电子的) mail became such a practical tool.

The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun - see a great film, perhaps - and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.

With e-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience (方便), and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.

E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.

We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't eliminate (排除) any of the old ways.
