阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

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 wealth 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, first­class roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)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 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.
1．Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?
A．It is extremely important to develop tourism.
B．Building roads and hotels is essential.
C．Support facilities are highly necessary.
D．Planning is of great importance to tourism.
答案：D 本文一开始便讲如果没有适当的计划，旅游业会带来的各种问题，可见前文叙述适当计划的好处，以正反两方面来阐述。

2．The underlined word“inhabitants” (in Paragraph 1 ) probably means________.
A．tourists B．passengers
C．population D．citizens
答案：D 文中提到太多游客来该国inhabitants喜欢的地方，可见它指本国本土的居民。

3．Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ________.
A．a bad effect on other industries
B．a change of tourists' customs
C．over­crowd of places of interest
D．pressure on traffic
答案：B 本文提到旅游业过于兴旺会带来的各种后果中提到了A、C、D，但没有说会改变游客的风俗习惯。

4．It can be inferred from the text that________.
A．the author doesn't like tourism developing so fast
B．local people will benefit from tourist attraction
C．other parts of a country's economy won't benefit from tourism much D．we can't build too many support facilities

A
We were moving to a new state after my husband had been out of work for many months and we had no money. In fact, we had to borrow money to reach our destination town. Anyway, it was my husband, two boys aged four and two, and myself, seven months pregnant (怀孕), in an old Volvo station wagon. We had been driving for two days in the middle of winter (that car’s heater didn’t work), and we had taken a route that was very desolate. There was nothing around for miles－no cars, buildings or signs of civilization. Suddenly, our car started losing power and the gauges(汽油表) went all out of order. We saw a light in the distance and managed to roll to a stop in front of this property that looked like a small simple house. Our cell phones had not gotten reception for many miles, and it was freezing outside, so I didn’t know if we were going to make it out of this situation alive. My husband got out of the car to see if there was something he could do to get us rolling again, but it was not looking good. A short while later, a man came out of the house and spoke with my husband a bit before inviting us all into his home. He and his wife took us in, fed us, and made us feel at home as we struggled to find some way to get to our destination, which was still a few hours’ drive away. We were able to call a friend and get a ride, leaving our broken car behind, but not before the couple gave us food and water for our journey. One week later, this dear sweet couple pulled our car all the way to our place and refused to take anything in return, except for us to pay it forward －and we have, and will continue to do it forever.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

PLAYA GRANDE, COSTA RICA? This resort town was long known for Leatherback Sea Turtle (棱皮龟) national Park, nightly turtle beach tours and even a sea turtle museum. However, on a beach where dozens of turtles used to nest on a given night, scientists spied only 32 leatherbacks all of last year.
With leatherbacks threatened with extinction (灭绝), Playa Grande’s turtle museum was abandoned three years ago and now sits among a sea of weeds. And the beachside ticket office for turtle tours was washed away by a high tide in September. “We do not promote that as a turtle tourism destination any more because we realize there are far too few turtles to please,” said Alvaro Fonseca, a park ranger (管理员).
Even before scientists found temperatures going up over the past decade, sea turtles were threatened by beach development, drift net fishing and Costa Ricans interest in eating turtle eggs. But climate change may cause the most serious harm to an animal that has lived in the Pacific for 150 million years.
Sea turtles are sensitive to numerous effects of warming. They feed on reefs, which are dying in hotter seas. They lay eggs on beaches that are being covered by rising seas and more violent waves.
More uniquely their gender (性别) is determined, not by genes but by the egg’s temperature during development. Small rises in beach temperatures can result in ail-female populations, obviously problematic for survival. If the sand around the eggs hits 30 degrees Celsius, the gender balance shits to females: at about 32 degrees they are all female. Above 34, you get boiled eggs.
On some nesting beaches, scientists are artificially cooling nests with shade or irrigation and trying to protect broader areas of coastal
property from development to ensure that turtles have a place to nest as the seas rise.
1. Why does the resort town stop promoting it’s turtle tourism?
A. It decides not to disturb the turtles’ normal life.
B. Tourists have lost interest in watching turtles.
C. There are only very few turtles now.
D. The turtle museum was destroyed by a high tide.
2. Which of the following is the major factor in the turtles endangerment?
A. The locals eating habit.
B. Drift net fishing.
C. Beach development.
D. Global warming.
3. We learn from the last paragraph that scientists .
A. are doing research on the sea rise
B. are moving turtles to new homes
C. are protecting turtles’ nests
D. are getting rid of sea weeds
4. The passage intends to .
A. introduce a special kind of sea turtle
B. explain the mystery of turtles’ eggs
C. show the dangers a certain kind of turtle is facing
D. attract more visitors to a sea turtle museum
【参考答案】1—4、CDCC B
Electric cars are dirty．In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins．
People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions（排放）vehicles,”but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from．Power plants mostly use fire to make it．Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators（发电机）．Generators are fueled by something — usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants．There are a few wind farms and geothermal（地热的）plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something．
In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars．It's just because the coal is burned somewhere else , so it looks clean．It is not．It’s as if the California greens are covering their eyes—“If I can’t see it, it’s not happening.” Gasoline is an unbelievably efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it．But when you take that gas（or another fuel）and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc．
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles．But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far — so electric
cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones．If our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean．But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don’t use much of those energy sources．
In addition, electric cars’ batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill（垃圾）and finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads．When it’s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place．Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes
a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot．
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Electric cars are not clean at all
B. Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones
C. People have doubts about electric cars’ batteries
D. Gasoline is an effective way to power a vehicle
6. The underlined words “ be clueless” mean___________
A. know nothing
B. have confidence
C. feel excited
D. be pleased
7. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ________
A. not less than 25 miles
B. as far as 50 miles
C. as far as 25 miles
D. not more than 25 miles
8. According to the passage, electric cars__________A. are more environmentally friendly
B. burn more fuel than gas-powered ones
C. are very good at cleaning up
D. are poisonous for a long time

参考答案9-11 BDC
D
From bankers to factory staff, employees in the West face a cold prospect of losing their jobs as a global recession(衰退) starts to bite. For colleagues in the East, the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut.
Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times, which will prevent unemployment and may help Asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports. The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, but build up a more loyal and devoted group.
"In the Confucian mindset(儒家思想), the right thing to do is to share the burden, which is the sense of collective responsibility. While in the West, it's more about individual survival," said Michael Benoliel, associate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore Management University (SMU).
In contrast, local Western companies from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands, but at the Asian units of Western multinationals or western units of Asian groups, job cuts will probably be less severe.
Japan's jobless rate was 4 percent in September, up from 3.8 percent in January, while Hong Kong's was flat at 3.4 percent. But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January.
Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in East and West, the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals(对手) from abroad.
12. The underlined word "prospect" in the first paragraph most probably means _________.
A. future
B. scene
C. weather
D. place
13. Compared with job cuts, pay cuts can bring the following benefits EXCEPT that _________.
A. it's helpful to the economy recovery
B. it can form a team working harder and more loyally
C. it will keep the experienced and skilled workers
D. it costs the company less money to survive
14. According to Michael Benoliel, the Confucian mindset focuses on _________.
A. human rights
B. personal profits
C. sharing responsibility
D. individual survival
15. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. the difficulties all the companies around the world will meet with today
B. the different labor solutions of Asian and Western in global recession
C. the ways to cut down the cost of the companies in economic downturn
D. the cultural differences between Eastern and Western world at present 参考答案12-15 ADCB。
