The Palace Museum
The Palace Museum, former residence of the Ming and Qing emperors, is also known as the Forbidden City. The Palace Museum contains the world’s largest group of intact palace structures made largely of timber. It was listed as the World Cultural Heritage Site by the UNESCO in 1987. The construction of the palace began in 1406 and was completed 14 years later. In the years that followed, 24 emperors have ascended the throne and the last emperor, Pu Yi, was driven from the palace in 1924.

Beyond the Meridian Gate unfolds a vast courtyard across which the Inner Golden Water River runs from east to west. The river is spanned by five bridges, which were supposed to be symbols of the five virtues preached by Confucius—benevolence, righteousness, rites, intelligence, and fidelity. At the north end of the courtyard is a three-tiered white marble terrace, seven meters above the ground, on which stand three majestic halls of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Complete Harmony, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony. The Hall of Supreme Harmony, rectangular in shape, 27 meters in height, covering 2,300 square meters, is the grandest and most important hall and also China’s largest existing palace of wood structure.

Travel and tourism is a form of modern consumer ______.A. behaviorB. believe2C. mysteryD. miracleⅡ. Reading comprehension: (2×10=20)Directions: Read the following passages and make your proper choices.(1)Of the many interesting sights in Hangzhou, there is besides West Lake the spectacular tide at the mouth of Qiantang River. The tides here are what is called a tidal bore which makes a thrilling sight as it seems to be impelled by such a furious elemental force that it threatens to overwhelm and overpower everything in its way, striking awe in the beholder even as the sky and the sun are being swallowed up. It is said that in the world today only the tidal bore at the mouth of the mighty Amazon in Brazil can be a rival to that at the mouth of Qiantang.The tidal bore of Qiantang has since ancient times been considered a spectacular sight. As early as the fourth century B.C., the ancient philosopher of China Zhuangzi had written about it like this: “The waters in the Zhe or Crooked River will roll on raising waves high as mountains and towers, creating a thunderous roar and gathering up a force that threatens to engulf the sun and the sky”. In the Eastern Han Dynasty(25—220), Wang Chong the thinker, in his Essays of Criticism or Lun'Heng in Chinese, recorded his observations of the tidal bore of Qiantang River like this: “The tide flows and ebbs with the wax and wane of the moon”. In ancient China, it was a common practice among men of letters not only to read widely but also to travel extensively. In the course of their travels, many of them had visited lots of famous mountains and magnificent rivers, but they had seen few sights that had impressed them as deeply as the tidal bore of Qiantang. Wielding their inspired pens, some of them had described the spectacular sight of the tidal bore. Poet Li Kuo of the Tang Dynasty(618—907)had these lines:The bright mid-autumn moon casts its light on a thousand miles of land,The thunderous bore at midnight loud as a million marching men.16. According to the text the word “bore”here means ______.A. forceB. waveC. waterD. sight17. The mighty Amazon in Brazil has a tidal bore at its mouth, ______ the Qiantang River's.A. more powerful thanB. less powerful thanC. as powerful asD. no match for318. Since ancient time ______ people have praised the mighty of the tidal bore of Qiantang River.A. manyB. great manyC. a fewD. not a few19. Wang Chong believed that the tidal bore was ______ the moon's wax and wane.A. related toB. a part ofC. moved byD. reported in20. The line in Li Kuo's poem “The thunderous bore at midnight loud as a million marching men”means the bore is ______.A. quiet at daytimeB. as powerful as marching menC. as loud as the shouting of marching menD. extremely loud(2)Another large and growing segment of tourism consumers is mature travelers. The face of the industrialized world's population is changing, as are the profiles of individuals who take advantage of the ever-increasing array of leisure activities. Although it is probably a mistake to lump all mature travelers together into a single market, it is important to understand the immense size of this market. A good idea of the changes taking place in the mature segment of the tourism market can be seen by looking at the changes taking place in the United States. The American population is aging and will continue to increase as a percentage of the total population. By the year 2000, over 76 million Americans will be considered mature adults(55 years of age and older). Similar demographic shifts are taking place in many countries throughout the world.The number of senior citizens in the United States who compose the market segment called “mature travelers”has been growing at double-digit rates. This rapid growth provides many opportunities for firms who recognize and plan to meet the needs of these travelers. The mature traveler market segment is especially important since these individuals spend 30% more than younger travelers and account for 80% of all commercial vacation travel.Many mature visitors have the time, money, and energy to travel and enjoy family, friends, new sights, adventures and active lifestyle. They value excellent food while vacationing more than any other age group. They are less interested in bars and nightlife activities than other age groups. They are most likely to visit casinos. Mature travelers usually purchase package tours and take cruise vacations.4International travelers are a large and growing segment of tourism consumers. Travel to foreign countries by international travelers has been growing at a rapid pace. Statistics show that in 2000, Shanghai received some 1.8 million foreign visitors while some 100,000 traveled from Shanghai to other countries. Singapore saw 31,231 Chinese travelers for the period January—September, 2000. The number of tourists applying to tour the three countries(Japan, Australia and New Zealand) is increasing fast.21. According to the passage demographic shifts mean the change of ______.A. populationB. age structureC. people's ageD. mature adults22. This article was written ______.A. by 2000B. before 2000C. after 2000D. in 200023. Mature travelers are very important part of tourism because of their ______.A. matureB. sizeC. wealthD. age24. Mature travelers spend more money than ______ in traveling.A. business peopleB. young peopleC. middle-aged peopleD. other age groups25. It seems the mature travelers prefer ______ very much.A. casinosB. barsC. purchasingD. nightlife activitiesⅢ. Cloze: (1×15=15)Directions: Choose the one from the given A, B, C and D to complete the passage properly.When you want to go back to a restaurant because you feel welcome there, that is about the best definition of good 26 that can be offered. Good service is 27 a matter of attitudes and begins with the attitude of the management. If the manager is dedicated 28 giving good friendly service and is 29 with employees and guests, then this 30 the employees to be friendly and to make the 31 feel welcome.Very few people can continually carry a smile and be friendly to everybody they meet 32 they are constantly trained and encouraged to do so. One of management's most important jobs is5to have a 33 training program for service personnel. There are many training aids available today from 34 sources. Even the smallest and 35 remote food operation can have a good training program.Food service operations 36 from the classical French restaurant to the snack bar, each 37 an appropriate level of good service. A primary factor in all good service is that employees must be trained to recognize the 38 of the guest. They must realize that their livelihood depends upon being courteous and friendly. The manager of any restaurant should realize that the guest likes to be recognized. 39 practical, the manger should learn guests' names, stop by their tables when they are having dinner, and have polite conversation with them. If a problem 40 ,a little personal contact by the manager can often resolve it and the guest will leave happily.26. A. service B. food C. staff D. business27.

Passage translation: (10×2=20)Directions: Translate the following passages into Chinese.71. Since the 1990s, computer technology has been more widely applied to tourism in China where it has brought increasing economic benefit. Some large travel agencies are promoting the use of computers and the Internet in their operations, management and overseas promotion. China International Travel Service(CITS), the first to use computer management in China's tourism industry, has installed computers of various types to sell tourist products, quote prices, make reservations, work out schedule, arrange various services, settle tourist accounts and other financial matters. CITS China information goes out via Australia's Worldlink to more than 250,000 computer terminals worldwide.72. Like the conference business, the exhibition industry appears to be growing. Between 1994 and 1998 the European industry, as indicated by exhibitor participation, was growing by over 4 per cent a year. In Germany, the modern Messe (会展中心) of Germany evolved at the beginning of the century from the centuries-old trade fairs. The Germans have maintained their lead through the development of specialist trade fairs as well as the continued development of8their facilities. Their strength is not in the number of shows, but in their large size and international character. Germany is, of course, an important industrial country and it could be expected that there would be some correlation between exhibitions and industrial development. Frequently, as in Detroit in the USA, there is a link between trade fairs and the industries which are important in the local region.9。

Reading comprehension: (2×10=20)Directions: Read the following passages and make your proper choices.(1)Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically nonexistent. It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the tube or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought. In fact,it is saddening to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly always a continental man or one from the older generation.3This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy, and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First come, first served,” while a gra y haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple stands? Yet this is all too often seen.Conditions in travel are really very hard on everyone, we know, but hardship is surely no excuse. Sometimes one wonders what would have been the behavior of these stout young men in packed refugee train or a train on its way to a prisoner camp during the war. Would they have considered it only right and their proper due to keep the best places for themselves then?Older people, tired and irritable from a day’s w ork, are not angels at all. Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as the weary queues push and shove each other to get on buses and tubes. One cannot commend this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all, however, it seems urgent, not only that communications in transport should he improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and toorushed to be polite. Shop assistants won’t bother to assist, taxi drivers shout at each other as theydash dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on and so forth. It seems to us that it4is up to theyoung and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration.16. According to the passage, we could expect good manners from ________.A. Englishmen in LondonB. a man from FranceC. men in big modern cities in EnglandD. men only in metropolitan cities17. What is the writer’s opinion concerning courteous manners toward women?A. Women have claimed equality and no longer need to be treated differently from men.B. It is considered old fashioned for young men to give up their seats for young women.C. Lady First should be universally practiced.D. Special consideration should be shown to women.18. According to the writer, communication between human beings would be smoother if ________.A. people were more considerate to each otherB. life were easier and more comfortableC. women were treated with more courtesyD. public transport could be improved19. The italicized word “deterioration” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.A. worsening of the general situationB. lowering of the moral standardsC. declining of the courtesy to womenD. spreading of evil conduct20. It could be inferred that the best remedy for the hard travel conditions in city would be ________.A. to attach significance to the moral education of young peopleB. to treat people, be they young or old, with courtesy and sympathyC. to demand everyone do his part not to be impolite to each otherD. to improve the means of transportation and the public morality(2)5From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s veryworst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear. They are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.It is high time that a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is;6all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person’s driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specification for manufactures. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.21. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.B. Thousands of people the world over are killed each year.C. The laws of some countries about driving are too lax.D. Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.22. The italicized word “condone” (Para. 3) probably means “________”.A. dislikeB. conductC. forgiveD. forbid23. The sentence “his car becomes the extension of his personality” (Para. 2) probably means “________”.A. driving can show his real selfB. driving can show the other part of his personalityC. driving can bring out his characterD. his car embodies his temper24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?A. To test drivers at more regular intervals.B. To make driving tests more difficult to pass.7C. To modify maximum and minimum speed limits.D. To draw up safety specifications for manufactures.25. The author’s attitude towards the present traffic laws is ________.A. ironicalB. criticalC. appealingD. pessimisticIII.

However, in theory, bringing together people of different countries and backgrounds does have political and educational significance as well as the economic and social aspects.

Tourism, properly designed and developed, has the potential to help bridge the psychological and cultural distances that separate people of diverse races, colors, religions and stages of social and economic development.72. In the past decades, international hotel companies concentrated on building luxury and upscale hotels and resorts around the world to serve tourists from the developed Western countries. Since the early 1990s, international hotel companies have noticed that growth at the high end of the hotel segment slowed down worldwide, but demand for two-star and three-star midscale hotels has been on the rise in many countries with emerging economies. For instance, the rush to build luxury hotels in Bangkok, Thailand, in the 1980s and early 1990s has pushed the hotel market to a glut. The average room rate of a five-star hotel in Bangkok in 1993 was only $79 per night. However, there has been a shortage of two-star and three-star hotels in Bangkok to accommodate the increased number of tourists from South Korea, and China.11。

Burj Al Arab Hotel When the Burj Al Arab Hotel opened in 1999, a British journalist enjoyed a marvelous time there and said that she had never before experienced such high quality service. As she was trying to write a report about the hotel, she could find no word to describe it. Finally, she ranked it as the only seven-star hotel in the world. Since then, this free advertisement has spread all over the world. The Burj Al Arab is part of The Jumeirah Beach Resort, situated 17 kilometers south of the city of Dubai, a dynamic city and the second largest emirate in The United Arab Emirates. Dubai is famously known as the entertainment capital of the Middle East attracting party lovers from all over the world, especially those who are wealthy enough to splash out on the most expensive bars and clubs in the city.

Why are men and women wiling to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risk on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and footballThere are, of course, rules of a different thing that it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big diffidence is that mountaineering is not a team game. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no matches between teams of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than men. He has to fight the fores of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of efforts, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.The word 查看答案【二、 Reading comprehension】1~5DBCAD6~10CACD 【三、 Cloze】1~5BADCB6~10CDABA11~15点击下载查看答案。

Since the local government decided to accelerate development of tourism in 1998,many developers rushed here to build villas, hotels and holiday resorts.Facilities in the area are currently able to accommodate 2,000 visitors a day.Recent statistics show that the nature reserve received 360,000 tourists last year, and generated 45 million yuan in earnings. During the first seven months of this year, the area received more than 300,000 tourists, up 25 percent over the same period last year. Earnings also increased by 64 percent over the same period last year.But excessive and disorderly development of the area, which largely resulted from a lack of unified planning and management, has caused many negative impacts. Construction and logging have damaged the grasslands and vegetation there. In addition,the improper treatment of sewage, garbage and exhaust gas has created a serious environmental problem. Even worse, some developers introduced Karaoke and Disco into the scenic area, causing unbearable noise pollution in the originally tranquil place.As the disorderly development drew increasing concern from society, the local government was forced to take swift action to save the nature reserve. Early last year, the local government invited a group of experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, at a cost 1.1 million yuan, to formulate an ecological rehabilitation plan for the area.As an important part of the plan, all the holiday resorts and hotels in the area will be bulldozed. In future, all tourists will have to enter the reserve in environment-friendly vehicles, on horseback or on foot. All structures not built with natural wood will be demolished, and tour boats will be banned from using liquid fuel.Some of the buildings near Hanas Lake have already been dismantled. Sewage treatment facilities are under construction in the new holiday resort in Jiadengyu Forest Park. A 58-km3highway, linking Burqin County and Jiadengyu, will be completed before the beginning of the busy tourism season next year.21.The beauty of the Hanas Nature Reserve is compared with the beauty of ______.A. the HimalayasB. the AlpsC. the Mount EverestD. the Fuji Mountain22.Who is to blame for the disorderly development of Hanas Nature Reserve?A. the local governmentB. some developersC. construction and logging companiesD. car users23.There are ______ pollution in the Hanas Nature Reserve originally?A. air and waterB. environment and waterC. air and noiseD. environment and noise24.In future, tourists will not be allowed to enter in reserve ______.A. on horsebackB. on footC. on motorcyclesD. in environment-friendly cars25.What is the best title for the passage?A. Hanas Nature Reserve: A Paradise on EarthB. Saving Hanas Nature ReserveC. Hanas Nature Reserve is Built to Attract More TouristsD. Development of Hanas Nautre Reserve(2)Restaurants generally fit into following categories and consumers:The gourmet restaurant caters to the needs of connoisseurs and sophisticated diners. The dishes and service are very quality so that these restaurants are the most expensive and luxurious of all food service establishments.The specialty restaurant usually offers a limited variety or style of food. It may be specialize in seafood or in a particular kind of national food. Also it may depend on the atmosphere, decor, or personality of the owner to attract customers.The convenience restaurant services customers who want to eat in hurry and are most interested in fast service, cleanliness, and low price. Fast food is an example which can be prepared, served, and eaten quickly ;probably the most typical and famous fast food restaurants, McDonald are locating many countries and places over the world.Another way to categorize restaurants is by the kind of service. They are table service, counter service, self-service and carry out. In table service restaurants, customers are seated at tables where they are served by a waiter or waitress. In counter restaurants, customers sit at a counter and are served either by the person who prepares the food or by a waiter or waitress. A self-service restaurants is frequently called a buffer or cafeteria; there cus-Italian. Most areas of the world rely heavily on regional cuisine that depends on local availability, seasonal prices, and traditional customers. The choice of cuisine is an important one for the customer, who often makes it unconsciously and sometimes makes it too consciously; it is a crucial choice for the restaurateur because it may mean the difference between success and failure in business. Before a new restaurant opens the manager or owner has decided on its basic character, including such features as its location, size, cuisine, staff, and equipment.426.The meaning of the word “decor”is most similar to that of .A. furnitureB. surroundingsC. decorationD. display27.If a VIP wants to show his status he can eat in a ______ restaurant.A. gourmetB. convenienceC. popularD. specialty28.McDonald is a kind of ______ restaurant.A. gourmetB. convenienceC. popularD. specialty29.If a person wants to serve himself and decide what he wants to eat, he can eat in the ______ restaurants.A. table serviceB. counter serviceC. self-serviceD. carry out30.If a person. driving a car doesn’t want to eat in the restaurants, he can buy food from a ______ restaurant.A. table serviceB. counter serviceC. self-serviceD. carry outⅢ.Fill in the blanks with the proper phrases given below.

The majority of studies have been conducted for special purposes and have used narrow operational definitions to suit particular needs of researchers or government officials; these studies have not encompassed a systems approach. Consequently, many definitions of “tourism”and”the tourist’ are based on distance traveled, the length of time spent, and the purpose of the trip. This makes it difficult to gather statistical information that scholars can use to develop a database, describe the tourism phenomenon, and do analyses.(2) As a site of historical interest, Taishan has been a preferred place of visit for centuries. Dating back to the Yin and Shang periods(1766-1122 BC),Chinese forefathers established five directions of north, south, east, west and center. The east, where the sun rises, presents life’s fertility with the end of winter and coming of spring. Taishan, located in a coastal province in eastern China, has been regarded as a propitious place. Ancient emperors prayed for the country’s prosperity and peach by offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth on Taishan. According to historical records, prior to the Western Zhou Dynasty (1122-771BC),72 monarchs climbed the mountain to perform sacrifices. They were then followed by Qinshihuang, China’s first emperor, and then the6emperors of the Han, Tang, Song and Qing Dynasties.7。

It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the tube or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought. In fact, it is saddening to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly always a continental man or one from the older generation.This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy, and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves "**e, first served, " while a gray haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple stands? Yet this is all too often seen.Conditions in travel are really very hard on everyone, we know, but hardship is surely no excuse. Sometimes one wonders what would have been the behavior of these stout young men in packed refugee train or a train on its way to a prisoner camp during the war. Would they have considered it only right and their proper due to keep the best places for themselves then?Older people, tired and irritable from a day's work, are not angels at all. Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as the weary queues push and shove each other to get on buses and tubes. One **mend this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all, however, it seems urgent, not only **munications in transport should be improved, but also **munication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistants won't bother to assist, taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on and so forth. It seems to us that it is up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration.16. According to the passage, we could expect good manners from ______.A. Englishmen in LondonB. a man from FranceC. men in big modern cities in EnglandD. men only in metropolitan cities17. What is the writer's opinion concerning courteous manners toward women?A. Women have claimed equality and no longer need to be treated differently from men.B. It is considered old fashioned for young men to give up their seats for young women.C. Lady First should be universally practiced.D. Special consideration should be shown to women.18. According to the writer, communication between human beings would be smoother if ______.A. people were more considerate to each otherB. life were easier and **fortableC. women were treated with more courtesyD. public transport could be improved19. The italicized word "deterioration" in the last paragraph probably means "______".A. worsening of the general situationB. lowering of the moral standardsC. declining of the courtesy to womenD. spreading of evil conduct20. It could be inferred that the best remedy for the hard travel conditions in city would be ______.A. to attach significance to the moral education of young peopleB. to treat people, be they young or old, with courtesy and sympathyC. to demand everyone do his part not to be impolite to each otherD. to improve the means of transportation and the public, morality(2)In recent years, we have seen great progress in house building. The type of houses found in a certain part of the world depends to a certain extent on the building materials available there. Countries where stone is abundant tend to have more stone houses than a place where there is plenty of timber for example. However, climatic conditions affect the houses built to a greater extent.In equatorial countries like Singapore and Malaysia, two main factors are responsible for the type of houses built: the heat of the sun and the fierceness of rainstorms. Our houses are light and airy but have steep roofs. In some places, houses are built on stilts because they may be in lowlying areas which get flooded easily.In a hot and dry country such as Arabia, the houses are often box-shaped. They have thick stone walls which are painted white. White surfaces radiate heat while dark surfaces absorb it. The houses have no windows, only gaps with shutters over them. Even the door openings are very small and narrow, it is cool inside such houses. The roofs are also flat, so that when the sun goes down, one can sit on the roof and catch any cool breeze that is blowing. Sometimes, a water tank may be placed on the roof to catch the little rain that falls.In cold regions, where there is heavy snow, the roofs of the houses slope steeply so that the snow can slide off easily. If the roofs were fiat, the snow would build up and the roofs might cave in under the weight. The houses also have thick stone walls so that the cold is kept out.Some countries are more likely to be affected by earthquakes. In such places, the houses aremade of light building materials. If the houses collapse in an earthquake, few people will get hurt and less damage is caused.In some parts of the world, people take their homes along with them as they travel. These people are called nomads. The Bedouins of Arab lands wander over the desert, setting up tents wherever they stop to rest.21.

The traveler, then, is better understood and better appealed to if he is recognized as a person consuming products and services. Seeing the traveler in this manner will result in a change of attitude on the part of the observer and enable the marketer to provide a better product or service to the traveler. A second more tangible benefit to be gained from this approach relates to the idea of prepotency. If one accepts Maslow's idea of prepotency--that lower-level needs should be satisfied to some extent before the satisfaction of higher-level needs becomes a concerns--we would expect that products and services, including vacations, which are targeted towards the satisfaction of lower-level needs, would be regarded as more of a necessity than a luxury and would, as such, be more resilient to external pressures of time and money.72. As China's economy shifts to a more market system, the domestic travel industry will face in creasing challenges in a more **petitive environment. This will require domestic travel services to constantly study their market conditions, design travel products according to the needs and wantsof tourists, and sell their travel products effectively to potential markets. A successful domestic tourism industry in China relies on two levels of coordination and operation. National and provincial governments need to monitor regional trends in domestic travel patterns and develop measures for guiding domestic travel growth. At the individual business level, domestic travel services need to implement systematic management practices and operations. China can only develop a successful domestic tourism industry if there is a well-coordinated effort between the government and the private travel industry.。

Reading comprehension(215=30)(1)The climate of the west coast is the most moderate in Canada. Summers are cool and fairlydry and winters are mild, cloudy and wet. Even in mid-winter, average temperatures are usuallyabove freezing.The central plain from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes is characterized by coldwinters, short but hot summers, and light precipitation.The large water-surfaces of Central and Eastern Canada produce considerable modificationin the climate. Southern Ontario and Quebec experience cold, damp winters and hot, humid summers.Most of Atlantic Canada has a humid climate owing to its maritime character. Nevertheless,it experiences weather-systems arriving from the dry continental interior as well as from the sea.The combined influence of these systems creates some of the most variable day-to-day weather conditions to be encountered anywhere in Canada.The north-central part of Canada is usually snow-covered for more than half the year, witha frostfree period of barely two months. Precipitation is relatively light. Further north, on theislands along the Arctic coast and round Hudson Bay, tundra conditions obtain. Average temperatures stay above freezing for only a few weeks of the year. The Arctic Islands and thenorthern fringe of the mainland do not have a summer season of the kind known is Southern Canada.21.

This is the progressive achievement of the Singapore Housing and Development-housed people. The Board’s success is a Board. Singaporeans today are among the world’s best3model for planners in other developing nations.Roads, usually double-carriage expressways, keep pace with the expanding developmentsin outlying districts to bring the worker close to his job. Trees, bushes and flowering plants frompublic nurseries line the roads as they are built and also landscape the housing estates and parkgrounds. It is truly amazing to find so much tropical greenery in so modern a city.Land in Singapore, as in Hong Kong, is limited: In order to fulfil its development plans forits people, the Government reclaims land from the sea. New projects for housing, port, transportation, business and recreational purposes are being created.In the heart of the City itself the Government’s urban renewal policy goes on every day. Slums are cleared and redeveloped into a series of busy sub-cities. In place of narrow streets andold, crumbling ugly buildings one sees broad thoroughfares modern shopping and entertainmentcomplexes, hotels, office blocks and residential towers rising 40 and 50 storeys into the sky.and probably the It is a question of time before Sigapore becomes a total “island city” finest in Southeast Asia.The face of Singapore is changing every day. New flats are shooting up all over the island.They come in all sizes and rental and sales prices to suit the families of workers, middle-incomeemployees as well as top executives, and businessmen. They are well designed for living,population weresolidly constructed, and carefully maintained. By 1975, half the Republic’sliving in sparkling modern accommodation.ts are built for ______.26.

The main features of the new sub-cities are _________.A. broad thoroughfares and tall modern buildingsB. broad thoroughfares and ugly buildings.C. narrow streets and modern buildingsD. narrow streets and old, crumbling buildings.(3)Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most devastating forces known to man:since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities4have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related destruction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis (gigantic sea waves), and other phenomena resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes themselves.The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area encompasses the Pacific Ocean and its contiguous land masses. The other extends from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran Turkey, and the Alpine regions. Itis in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place: they may, however, happen anywhere at any time.This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications the earthquake prediction may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements inmagnetic field, and the the earth’scrust, variations in the force of gravity and the earth’sfrequency with which minor earth tremors are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in anticipating when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and eliminate their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their potential devastation before it occurs.31. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Earthquakes are highly feared, but actually relatively harmless.B. There is absolutely no way to predict when or where earthquakes might occur.C. Man is now able to predict when earthquakes will happen, but not where.D. Man is now able to predict where earthquakes will happen, but not when.32. The phrase “this element of the unknown” (Paragraph 3) refers to ______.A. the two great earthquake zonesB. the fact that earthquakes can happen at any time or placeC. the percentage of earthquakesD. the exact cause of earthquakes33.Which of the following have been used to anticipate earthquake activity?A. Changes in animal behavior.B. Differences in the earth’s magnetic field and force of gravity.C. How often minor earth tremors have been observed.D. All of the above.34. The author wrote this passage ________.A. to amuse and entertainB. to question and criticizeC. to explain and informD. to correct a misconception35.What is the author’s attitude toward the possibility of earthquake prediction?5A. It will never be possible to predict earthquakes.B. Earthquakes can already be predicted with great accuracy.C. There is really no need to try to predict earthquake occurrences.D. Earthquake prediction is becoming more and more possible.III. Fill in the blanks with the proper phrases given below.

Tourists taking holidays for educational purposes, whether to learn something or to attainnew knowledge, will choose destinations appropriate for this purpose. Again the type and standard of accommodation are of secondary importance. For example, people wishing to study art, music or another skill are now accepting accommodation in universities and colleges thatrun such courses during the vacations. There may be a certain cachet(威望) attached to this and frequently the customers are those with limited means. They find the low costs linked with the learning aspect as representing very good value. These holidays provide a rest of a different sort,daily lives. The support services can also be rudimentary.a change of interest from people’sHowever, those who take these holidays are prepared to make their own spare time activities such as walks in the surrounding countryside, community singing at night, concerts and so on. 87. You may meet Americans who know very little about your country. If so, be patient with them. Unfortunately, little is taught about the cultures or customs of other countries in American schools. The United States has always been separated from other countries by the vast oceans to the East and West of the country. As a result, Americans have not become so familiar with7different cultures and other ways of doing things as is often the case in other countries. If Americans try to help you with something that is very familiar to you, if they mistake your country for another thousands of kilometers away, be patient with them. The United States has developed into a modern nation in a very short time compared with many other countries—only about 300 years.8。

Lesson Six

Type of tourists and Their Needs 旅游者的类型和需求
分类
休息和消遣性 文化旅游型 猎奇旅游 旅游是一种行为标准 其他类型消遣旅游者 商务旅游型
I. 休闲消遣型旅游
为休息和消遣进行旅游的旅游者要求消费得起的高下优 质膳食。对旅游景点和目的地的选择取决于他们的消遣 方式。 想饱览乡村风光的旅行者会选择随车观光旅游,每晚在 不同地方留宿,旅行线路和行程比宾馆大小和质motivation of tourism(旅游动机) the key to understanding tourist motivation is to see vacation travel as a satisfier of needs and wants. 了解旅游动机的关键是把旅游看做对人们愿望的满足。 They take vacation in the hope and belief that these vacations will satisfy, either wholly or partially, various needs and wants. 人们之所以旅游是希望旅行活动能全部或部分满足人们 的愿望。
几个重要的句子
Travelling for reasons of health can be interpreted as a way of attempting to satisfy one’s safety needs(p69).为健康原因 而进行的旅游可被看成满足人的安全需要的一种方式。 The organized tour is often mentioned as a method of encouraging and satisfying this need for companionship and social interaction.(p70) 组团旅游常被看成是为鼓励和满足 伙伴、社会关系需要而采取的形式。 ”VFR“=visit friends and relatives探亲访友式(归属和爱的 动机表现) part of this is the “ethnic or roots market”(种族或祖先式) If lodging or meals are taken in hotels instead of with family, it tends to have a greater impact on the economy.(P71) 如旅游者吃住在旅馆而不在家里,那对经济有着重大影响。

II.文化型旅游

对文化感兴趣的人,地理位置及是否有文化 活动将决定他们对目的地的选择。膳宿条件 退居其次,文化活动举办地的远近是首选。
III. 求学旅游

无论是为了去了解某些东西还是去学习知识, 都会选择与目的相符的旅游地,膳食条件是次 要的
IV. 猎奇旅游

如去遥远什么的地方(东南亚、非洲、南美),他 们希望得到高质量的服务,也能付得起。 如去冒险,他们会接受现有条件,希望与旅游目的 一致。他们陶醉于壮丽美景,欣赏珍稀动植物
•增加新型旅游者—“国际短程旅游者”(international excursionist):为消遣到另一国做短暂游览而逗留时间 不超过24小时的游客。 •给过境游客(transit traveler)下定义:途径一国而 未作停留,或途经该国不超过24小时只做短暂非旅游性停 留的人。
1963年联合国召开国际旅行和旅游会议:

The need for esteem breaks down into two components: self-esteem and esteem from others (自尊和被尊重) self-actualization can be considered the end or goal of leisure. 自我实现被认为是闲暇的目的 The need to know and understand can be viewed the desire for knowledge. 认知了解是对知识的渴求 The need for aesthetics is seen in those who travel for environmental reasons 欣赏环境而旅游的人是对美的追求
2) Maslow’s hierachy of needs model (马斯洛的需要层次模型):
a. b. c. d. e. f. g.
Physiological---hunger, thirst, rest, activity(生理需要) Safety---security, freedom from fear and anxiety Belonging and love---affection, giving and receiving love Esteem-- self esteem and esteem from others 心理需要 Self-actualization---personal self-fulfillment To know and understand—acquiring knowledge Aesthetics---appreciation of beauty(知识需要)

客观条件



Increased leisure time, especially with improved incomes in the developed countries, has led to growing demand for tourism both at home and abroad.(P63) The development of the car, associated road networks, the railways, efficient aircraft offering greater comfort and safety. Bus and coach tours and railway excursions have great impact on those with limited incomes. Long distance, international air travel improvements, especially cheaper fares have increased demand from the higher income groups but also extended possibilities for such holidays to the middle income and less well-off persons.
