In more recent times, it was the ________ themselves who developed the first air package tours.A. travel retailersB. travel agentsC. travel directorsD. travel principalsII. Reading comprehension: (2 × 10=20)Directions: Read the following passages and make your proper choices.(1)If the old maxim that the customer is always right still has meaning, then the airlines that fly the world’s busiest air route between London and Paris have a fight on their hands.The Eurostar train service linking the UK and French capitals via the Channel Tunnel is winning the customers in increasing numbers. In late May, it carries its one millionth passengers, having run only a limited service between London, Paris and Brussels since November 1994, starting with two trains a day in each direction to Paris and Brussels. By 1997, the company believes that it will be carrying 10 million passengers a year, and continue to grow from there.From July, Eurostar steps its service to nine trains each way between London and Paris, and five between London and Brussels. Each train carries almost 800 passengers, 210 of them in first class.The airlines estimate that they will initially lose around 15% to 20% of their London-Paris traffic to the railways once Eurostar starts a full service later this year, with 15 trains a day each way. A similar service will start from London to Brussels. The damage will be limited, however, the airlines believe, with passenger numbers returning to previous levels within two to three years.In the short term, the damage caused by the 1 million people-level traveling between Londonand Paris and Brussels on Eurostar trains means that some air services are already suffering. Someof the major carriers say that their passenger numbers are down by less than 5% and point to their rivals --- particularly Air France --- as having suffered the problems. On the Brussels route, the railway company had less success, and the airlines report anything from around a 5% drop to no visible decline in traffic.The airlines’ optimis m on returning traffic levels is based on historical precedent. British Midland, for example, points to its experience on Heathrow Leeds Bradford service which saw passenger numbers decrease by 15% when British Rail electrified and modernized the railway linebetween London and Yorkshire. Two years later, travel had risen between the two destinations to the point where the airline was carrying record numbers of passengers.16. The phrase “have a fight on their hands” (Para. 1) probably means “ ________ ”.A. have to deal with the situation seriouslyB. have to declare war on the railway serviceC. have to decide whether to fight or notD. have no problem to win the fight17. The airlines are confident in the fact that ________.A. they are more powerful than the Eurostar serviceB. their total passenger loss won’t go beyond a drop of 5%C. their traffic levels will return in 2 to 3 yearsD. traveling by rail can never catch up with traveling by air18. The railway Brussels route is brought forth to show that ________.A. the Eurostar service is not doing good businessB. the airlines can well compete with the railwayC. the Eurostar train service only caused very little damageD. only some airlines, such as Air France, are suffering19. British Midland is mentioned to ________.A. provide a comparison with EurostarB. support the airlines’ optimismC. prove the inevitable drop of air passengersD. call for electrification and modernization of the railway20. The purpose of the last paragraph is to ________ .A. praise the airlines’ clear-mindednessB. advise the airlines to follow British Midland as their modelC. propose a reduction of London/Paris flightsD. show why the airlines are still hopeful(2)The tourist trade is booming. With all this coming and going, you’d expect greater understanding to develop between the nations of the world. Not a bit of it! Superb systems of communication by air, sea and land make it possible for us to visit each other’s country at a moderate cost. What was once the ‘grand tour’, reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybody’s grasp. The package tour and chartered flights are not to be sneered at. Modern travelers enjoy a level of comfort which the lords and ladies on grand tours in the old days co uldn’t have dreamed of. But What’s the sense of this mass exchange of populations if the nations of the world remain basically ignorant of each other?Many tourist organizations are directly responsible for this state of affairs. They deliberately set out toprotect their clients from too much contact with the local population. The modern tourist leads a nursed, sheltered life. He lives at international hotels, where he eats his international food and sips his international drink while he gazes at the natives from a distance. Conducted tours to places of interest are carefully censored. The tourist is allowed to see only what the organizers want him to see and no more. A strict schedule makes it impossible for the tourist to wander off on his own; and anyway, language is always a barrier, so he is only too happy to be protected in this way. At its very worst, this leads to a new and hideous kind of colonization. The summer quarters of the inhabitants are temporarily reestablished on the island of Corfu. Blackpool is recreated at Torremolinos where the traveler goes not to eat paella, but fish and chips. The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of national stereotypes. We don’t see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we have been brought up to believe they are. You can test this for yourself. Take five nationalities, say, French, German, English, American and Italian. Now in your mind, match them with these five adjectives: musical, amorous, cold, pedantic, native. Far from providing us with any insight into the national characteristics of the peoples just mentioned, these adjectives actually act as barriers. So when you set out on your travels, the only characteristics you notice are those which confirm your preconceptions. You come away with the highly unoriginal and inaccurate impression that, say, ‘Anglo-Saxons are hypocrites’ or that ‘Latin peoples shout a lot’. You only have to make a few foreign friends to understand how absurd and harmful national stereotypes are. But how can you make foreign friends when the tourist trade does its best to prevent you?Carried to an extreme, stereotypes can be positively dangerous. Wild generalizations stir up racial hatred and blind us to the basic fact. That all people are human. We are all similar to each other and at the same time all unique.21. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A. Conducted tour is comfortable but dull.B. Tourism has become more convenient.C. Tourism helps understand each other.D. Tourism confirms national stereotypes.22. Which of the following is true of the grand tour nowadays?A. It’s so expensive that only the rich can enjoy it.B. It’s outdated and few people are interested in it.C. It charges high but offers moderate service.D. It can be actually enjoyed by everybody.23. According to the author, the national stereotype of Anglo-Saxons is that ________.A. they seem to be amorousB. they seem to be morally goodC. they are generous and kindD. they are cold and pedantic24. The purpose of the passage is to point out that ________.A. conducted tour is too comfortableB. national stereotypes should be changedC. the way of touring should be changedD. traveling only confirms your preconception25. W hat is the author’s attitude toward tourism?A. NegativeB. SuspiciousC. AppreciativeD. ApprehensiveIII. Cloze: (1 × 15=15)Directions: Choose the one from the given A, B, C and D to complete the passage properly.In England everything is the other way round.On Sunday on the Continent even the 26 person puts on his best suit, tries to 27 respectable, and at 28 time the life of the country becomes gay and cheerful; in England even the richest Lord or motor-manufacturer dresses 29 some peculiar rags, does not shave, and the country becomes dull and dreary. On the Continent there is one 30 which should be avoided ——the weather; in England if you do not 31 the phrase “Lovely day, isn’t it?” at least 32 a day, you are 33 a bit dull.

Passage translation: (10×2=20)Directions: Translate the following passages into Chinese.71. Tr avel and tourism has become a strategic industry in China’s development toward a “socialist market economy.” A decade of development has yielded both positive experiences and hard lessons. Our country is still probing better ways of developing a strong travel and tourism industry which can compete successfully in its regional and global markets. Our country, therefore, faces both opportunities and challenges in developing its tourism to the next level. Our tourism has a bright future, although it will require arduous efforts to develop it effectively. The opportunities and challenges that our country faces are discussed, and the strategies are identified as recommendations for future development.72. Passenger transportation, whether on land, over the water, or in the air is the lifeblood of the tourism industry. Water transportation was the first mode of transportation to move travelers rapidly over long distances, but many other modes have evolved to meet time and distance requirements.Travelers have the choice of plying the waves, riding the rails, cruising the highways, or soaring through the skies. Which one they choose will depend on where they are going, their budget, and the amount of flexibility they desire.。

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.

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 choice.(A)Traveling with children who are old enough to read, write, or play games need not be a problem. By taking along a supply of papers, pencils, or one of the excellent game books that are sold just for the purpose, the time can be made to fly. Verbal games, too, such as “Twenty Questions”, help to pass the hours.When traveling on public transportation, having games and diversions on hand is just as important, since it is unreasonable to expect children, especially small ones, to be able to sit still for long periods of time. It is up to you to keep watch over them, however, and not let them roam bythemselves or make excessive amounts of noise. Fellow passengers have paid for their travel tickets and even those who love children can learn to hate them quickly when trapped in a train or airplane with those who are ill-behaved.On ships there are usually activities of children. Although it is a break for parents to be able to send their children off to participate and have some time alone, you should still make sure that your children behave well. Children should not be permitted to race through corridors or to be unsupervised, no matter how much you enjoy relaxing in your desk chair without them nearby. It would be unfortunate if your children were the cause of other’s feelings that they were also traveling “with children”—— yours ——because of their interruption through constant noise, quarreling, or bad behavior.More and more frequently, children are sent to travel unaccompanied by an adult, whether to visit a relative, or to travel to grandparents. Many parents expect that a flight attendant or train steward will take care of their children when they send them off alone. This is an unreasonable expectation. Travel attendants have specific jobs to do, andthese do not include child care. For that reason each airline has established a minimum age for unaccompanied children. As long as that regulation is respected, there is no reason that children who are emotionally stable and unafraid should not travel by themselves. In my experience with our grandchildren, the airlines have done an excellent job of caring for them and the children have enjoyed it thoroughly. Of course, if it is not possible for a parent to accompany a very young child, then another adult should be hired as a traveling companion.21. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Traveling with a primary school child is not a problem.B. Adults find it easy to pass the time by doing the game such as “Twenty Questions”.C. Children find time fly by doing verbal games such as “Twenty Questions”.D. Game books help make the time pass quickly for young children.22. It is implied but not stated that ______.A. small children cannot be expected to be emotionally stablefor longB. parents find it harassing to take care of their own childrenC. small children always make much noiseD. few fellow passengers like traveling with children23. The italicized word “break”(Para. 3) most probably means “ ______ ”.A. accidentB. mistakeC. restD. pause24. Parents cannot depend on travel attendants to take care of their children because ______.A. they are not responsible for child careB. there is a minimum age for children who travel aloneC. their children are emotionally unstable and timidD. parents should always go with their children25. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the author doesn’t like traveling with his childrenB. the a uthor doesn’t like traveling with other passengers’ childrenC. the author opposes the airlines’ minimum age for unaccompanied childrenD. the author prefers children’s unaccompanied trave l ifthey are old enough(B)With its almost six billion people, the world offers a fascinating variety of human shapes and colors. As humans spread throughout the world, their adaptations to diverse climate and other living conditions resulted in this fascinating variety of complexions, colors and shapes. Changes in the genetic structure added distinct characteristics to the peoples of the globe. In this sense the concept of race, a group with inherited physical characteristics that distinguish it from another group, is a reality. Humans do indeed come in a variety of colors and shapes.In two senses, however, race is a myth, a fabrication of the human mind. The first fabrication is the idea that any one race is superior to another. All races have their geniuses —and their idiots. Like language, no race is superior to another. Adolf Hitler’s ideas were extreme. He believed that a superior race, called the Aryans, was responsible for the cultural achievements of Europe. They possessed the genetic stuff that made them inherently superior. Even many scientists of the time —not only Germany but throughout Europe and theUnited States —espoused the idea of racial superiority. Not surprisingly, they considered themselves members of the supposedly superior race!In addition to the myth of racial superiority, there is a second myth — that of the existence of a “pure” race. From the perspective of contemporary biology, humans show such a mixture of physical characteristics, that the “pure” races do not exist. Instead of falling into distinct types clearly separate from one another, human characteristics flow endlessly together. These minute gradations made arbitrary any attempt to draw definite lines.Large groupings of people, however, can be classified by blood type and gene frequencies. Yet even this arrangement does not uncover “race”. Rather, such classifications are so arbitrary that biologists and anthropologists can draw up listings showing any number of “race”. Ashley Montagu, a physical anthropologist, pointed out that some scientists have classified humans into only two “races”while others have found as many as two thousand. Montagu himself classified humans into forty “racial” groups.This is not meant to imply that the idea of race is a myth.That idea is definitely very much alive. It is firmly embedded in our culture, a social reality that we confront daily. Sociologist W. I. Thomas observed that “if people define situations as real, they are real in their consequences”. The fact that no race is superior or that biologically we cannot even decide how people should be classified into races is not what counts. What makes a difference for social life, rather, is that people believe these ideas, for people act on beliefs, not facts. As a result, we always have people like Hitler. Most people, fortunately, do not believe in such extremes, yet most people also appear to be ethnocentric enough to believe, at least just a little, that their own race is superior to others. 26. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that the diversification of human race resulted from ______.A. genetic inheritance and environmental influencesB. the differentiation of the inherited physical characteristicsC. humans' adaptations to diverse climate and other living conditionsD. genetic changes and distinct characteristics27. The italicized word “espoused” (Para. 2) probably means “______”.A. challengedB. questionedC. opposedD. supported28. Why is there no “pure” race according to the passage?A. Because people of different races often get married.B. Because people have different blood types.C. Because racial characteristics cover each other in part.D. Because there are so many races in the world.29. The author believes that any attempt at classifying races ______.A. is at best arbitraryB. is bound to be biasedC. tends to pick out one race as superiorD. takes culture into account30. The author concludes the passage by pointing out that ______.A. it is hardly possible to classify humans into racial groupsB. we should be on our guard against any idea of racial superiorityC. race is indeed a mystery to be explored and uncoveredD. it is not important how people should be classifiedIII. Cloze Test (0.5×20=10)Direction: Choose the one from the given A,B,C and D to complete the passage properly.Walt Disney World is indeed a Resort Park Complex with families in mind. 31 also goes without saying that a family 32 is an opportunity for families to relax and spend some “quality”33 together, but what about Mom and Dad?

Reading comprehension: (2 × 10=20)Directions : Read the following passages and make your proper choices.2(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 for18. Since ancient time ____ people have praised the mighty of the tidal bore of Qiantang River.A. manyB. great many3C. 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.International 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 2000,4Shanghai 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 .

Good service is 27 a matter of attitudes and begins with the attitude of the management.

Since the 1990s, computer technology has been more widely applied to tourism in China where ithas brought increasing economic benefit. Some large travel agencies are promoting the use of computers and the Internet in their operations, management and overseas promotion. ChinaInternational Travel Service(CITS), the first to use computer management in China's tourismindustry, 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 and1998 the European industry, as indicated by exhibitor participation, was growing by over 4 per centa year. In Germany, the modern Messe ( 会展中心) of Germany evolved at the beginning of thecentury 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 of their 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.8。

It is the oldest continent in the sense that it has altered relatively little since life appeared on earth. Thousands of years before the explorers Abel Tasman and James Cook sailed into the South Pacific, the aborigines had crossed the hand bridge from Asia formed by the Malay Archipelago and had spread throughout the mainland and Tasmania. When Capt • Arthur Philip of the British Royal Navy landed with the First Fleet at Botany in 1788, the event that marks the true beginning of modern Australia, there were probably not more than 300,000 Aborigines altogether.The most striking characteristics of the vast 3,000,000 square-mile landmass are its isolation, its low relief, and the aridity of its surface. Its isolation from other continents explains much of the strangeness of Australian plant and animal life ; its low relief results from the long and extensive erosive action of the forces of wind, rain and the heat of the sun during the great periods of geological time when the continental mass was elevated well above sea level. A member of the Commonwea11h of Nations z the commonwealth of Australia is a prosperous, independent nation under one government. Like Canada and the United States, contemporary Australia is a political federation with a central government (the Commonwealth) and, six constituent states (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania) , each of which has its own government enjoying a limited sovereignty• There are also two internal territories: the Northern Territory was established as a self-governing territory in 1978, and the Australian Capital Territory, seat of the federal capital city Canberra, is administered directly by the Commonwealth, which also governs the external territories of Norfolk Island, Cocos Islands, Christmas Island, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Coral Sea Islands, and Heard and McDonald Islands and claims the Australian Antarctic Territory. The Cocos Islands was a non-self-governing territory until 1984 , when it was integrated with Australia following an act of self determination approved by the Cocos Malay people.16、 The true beginning of modern Australia took place in •A. 1788B. 1842D. 198417> Which of the following became a self-governing territory most recently?A.

The United States.21The Great Wall of China is the longest structure ever built. Its length is about 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometers) , and it was erected entirely by hand. The wall crosses northern China between the east coast and north-central China .Over the centuries, various rulers built walls to protect their northern border against invaders. Some of the walls stood on or near the site of the Great Wall• Most of what is now called the Great Wall dates from the Ming dynasty(1368-1644). Parts of the Great Wall have crumbled through the years. However, much of it remains, and some sections have been restored• The main part of the wall is about 2,150 miles (3,460 kilometers) long . Additional branches make up the rest of its length.One of the highest sections of the Great Wall, on Mount Badaling, near Bei j ing, rises to about 35 feet (11 meters) high. This section is about 25 feet (7.6 meters) wide at its base and nearly 20 feet (6 meters) at the top. Watchtowers stand about 100 to 200 yards (91 to 180 meters) apart along the wall • The towers, about 40 feet (12 meters) high, once served as lookout posts.Written records indicate that the Chinese built walls along their borders as early as the 600*3 B・C• Emperor Shi Huangdi of the Qin dynasty (221-206B. C. ) is traditionally regarded as the first ruler to conceive of, and build, a Great Wall. Most of the Qin wall was north of the present-day wall. Shi Huangdi had the wall built by connecting new walls with older ones. Building continued during later dynasties, including the Han (202 B. C. - 22 0A.D.) and the Sui (581 - 618 ).By the time the Ming dynasty began in 1368, much of the wall had fallen into ruin. In response to the growing threat of a Mongol invasion, the Ming government began building a major wall in the late 1400 1 s. This wall included most of what remains today. Like earlier ones, it protected China from minor attacks but provided little defense against a major invasion.Through the centuries, much of the Great Wall again collapsed. However, the Chinese have done restoration work since 1949. The wall no longer serves the purpose of defense, but it attracts many visitors. Tourists from around the world come to see the wall. Historians study writing and objects found in fortifications and tombs along the structure. Scientists study earthquakes by examining parts of the wall that have been affected by these earth movements . 21> The earliest wall in China was built probably around .A・ the 600's B.C.

Many tourism researchers maintain that community support for proposed tourism developments is a key ingredient for its future success. Two communities with different approaches 27 local wishes are Cairns and Byron Bay • B yron Bay residents were surveyed by their local council to establish community attitudes 28 tourism development. The majority wanted to live 29 a town promoted natural coastal environment and low-rise streetscapes 30 its tourism attraction. The town has been very successful in doing just that, much to the chagrin of Club Med, who wanted to develop a resort in the area. Cairns, on the other 31 , had to handle local protesters when a new resort was pro posed for Trinity Inlet • 32 the plan was subsequentlyturned 33 , and the developer awarded millions in compensation for expenses incurred in feasibility studies and architectural briefs, the community remains on guard 34 similar proposals.Local government varies from state to state, but generally derives its powers 35 state acts of parliament and its funding from a mixture of local rates levied 36 properties in a shire and state government funds • In some instances additional funding in the front of special community project grants is forthcoming from the Fede ral Government•Local government controls the development of the local area and can grunt or withhold planning permission, building applications anti amendments to usage of local land dependent 37 the local planning regulations.

Under millions of feet, ancient stones wear out, ancientfloors break down. Parts of the palace of Versailles may have to be closed to the public in order to preserve them, and some European caves, famous for their thirty-thousand-year-old paintings, have already been closed because the paintings were damaged by human respiration. There may come a time when only specialists in art, history, or archaeology will be allowed near the treasures of the past. Perhaps we 1 d better hurry to see them; perhaps we1d better take a tour soon.72> Professional travelers are similar to business travelers in many ways, although this type of travel is more elastic than business travel • Professional travel is built around the meeting and convention markets. These markets have grown as transportation, especially by air, has become more available and affordable . As professional travel continues to grow, new and expanded meeting and convention facilities have been developed to satisfy this increasing demand . Along with this growth, new management challenges have arisen to serve this specialized market. Some of the key market segments for meeting participants or attendees are associations, businesses, exhibitions and trade shows, religious organizations, political parties, and governments.答案:I .Multiple choice1、c本题士要考查的知识点为大旅游的历史背景。

each question.(1)When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claim for it ,the first step is to present the warranty,or any other records which might help at the store of purchase.In most cases,this action will produce results.However,if it does not,there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers isto complain directly to the store manager.In general,the “higher up”the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled.In such a case,it is usually settled in the consumer's favor,assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible,but if they cannot get to the place of purchase,it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly,and especially when the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong,rather than by making general statements.For example,“The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear”is better than “This stereo does not work.”The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer.If so, the consumer should do this stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible.But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result,the consumer can go a step further.She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers'rights.21.When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it,the first thing he should do is to _____./doc/1aab443410661ed9ad51f382.ht ml plain

twenty-four hours a day. It's true of back-of-the-ouse and front-of-the-house functions. All of the jobs we will discuss belong to the back of the house. To a certain extent, they are performed out of sight of the hotel guests,but they are vital components in a smooth and efficient hotel operation. The housekeeping department is the backbone of the hotel.Hotels just like a plant sell service as their products.In the eyes of the customer,the most important part of the plant is the guest room.In a sense,it is possible to say that a neat and at-active room is the hotel offers.This makes the housekeepingdepartment primary importance in a smooth and efficient hotel operation.A“plant”with complex equipment and machinery must be maintained in good working order.Therefore,it is necessary to have an efficient supervision system in the hotel operation.For a large hotel,it's likely to have a housekeeping department headed by an executive housekeeper,withseveral assistants and many room attendants and housemen.The head or executive housekeeper is in charge of the whole complex work area,dealing with guests' complaints and co-operation with other departments.He is responsible to the supervisors and general manager.Under him,the assistants may be in charge of work assignments,uniform for the staff,linen supplies,cleaning supplies,and the laundry and sewing service.In addition,inspectors or supervisors often check on the routine work being done by the room attendants and housemen.26.The word “backbone”(L.4 Para. 1)means _______.A.the bone on the backB.something very importantC.leaderD.head27.Hotel is compared to a

Chinese: (10×2=20)(1)By the early 1975s over 65 per cent of the population of the UK were taking annual holidays and over 20 per cent second holidays of four nights or more away from home,in Europe as well as in Britain.In addition,more than anohter 50 million short holidays,of three nights or less,were being taken away from home.The relative proximity and easy access to resorts is also important to the growth of both short holidays and day trips.In the UK nearly three-quarters of the population can reach another part of the country in a day trip.So can most residents in other European countries reach major resorts not only in their own countries but also in neighboring ones in a day.(2)Today,the car is the most popular means of transport by far for tourists.In the USA,journeys by car account for 85% of all holiday travel,and although the total cost of travel by car per kilometer works out at more than the equivalent for the train,most people are attracted to the flexibility and convenience of this mode of transport.People using their cars for holidays can usethem for travelling to ,and around,their destination.Car hire is also popular,particularly among those people travelling for business purposes.It is often possible to hire a car at one location and return it to an office of the same car hire company at another location.Tourists travelling to their destination by air can hire a car at the airport and use it to travel to their destination or to explore during their stay.。

comprehension:(2×10=20)Directions:Read the following passages and make your proper choices.(1)Culture is the total sum of all the traditions,customs, beliefs,and ways of life of a given group of human beings.In this sense,every group has a culture, however savage,undeveloped,or uncivilized it may seem to be.To the professional anthropologist,there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic rank or hierarchy among languages.People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage,undeveloped forms of speech,consisting largely of grunts and groans.While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans,it is a fact established by the study of“backward”languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today.Most languages of uncivilized groups are,by our most severe standards,extremely complex,delicate,and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas.They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound pattern of grammatical structures,which usually are fully adequate for all language needs,but only in their vocabularies,which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers.Even in this department,however, two things are to be noted.First,all languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion,either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system.Second,the objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in“backward”languages,while different from ours,are often surprisingly numerous and complicated.A Western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness(“this”and“that”);some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed,or out of sight,or in the past,or in the future.This study of language,in turn,casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.16.According to the author, to the professional linguists,_________.A.all languages came from grunts and groansB.all languages in the world are equal and independentC.Western cultures are better than Eastern culturesD.the superiority of one culture over another is difficult to explain17.We can infer that the author is________.A.a professional anthropologistB.a linguist as well as an anthropologistC.a language researcher from the WestD.a language researcher on“backward culture”18.The languages of backward groups fall behind those of the West in terms of the________.A.vocabulariesB.history and cultureC.machinery for vocabulary expansionD.sound patterns and grammatical structures19.According to the article,some languages of American Indians are________.A.too undeveloped to be understoodB.more civilized than Western languagesC.derived from their own remote systemD.able to distinguish more degrees of remoteness20.What is implied in this passage is that the study of languages________.A.has challenged anthropological studiesB.has reinforced the view of the anthropologistsC.is the same as the study of anthropologyD.has contradicted the result of the study of anthropology(2)The Concorde,plane of the rich and famous,is also probably the world’s safest.The fireball outside Paris Tuesday was the supersonic jet’s first fatal accident ever in 24 years of regular operation.And Air France officials said their current fleet was fit to fly safely until 2007.Yet the plane had been having mishaps—little things.In October a piece of tail fell off in mid-flight.Last January, within a span of 24 hours,two British Airways Concordes had to make emergency landings for technical reasons—one engine failure,one mysterious false alarm.A few months ago,small cracks,said to be“microscopic”in size,were detected in all seven British Concordes,a British Airways spokeswoman said Monday;one of them was grounded because the cracks had gotten wider.Has the Concorde hit old age ahead of schedule? Only 20 of the supersonic passenger jets were ever built,of which 13 are still in service,operated by British Airways and Air France.They were all built between 1975 and 1980.Both companies hope to keep the planes flying for another 14 or 15 years,and in fact both have recently upped their estimate of the number of“cycles”—roughly one transatlantic flight—the plane could stand,to 8,500.By this calculation,the planes are cleared for takeoff until 2006 at least.This view is supported by the fact that although its flights are high-stress and its takeoff and landing more labored than other planes,the Concorde makes only about a fifth of the trips more popular.After the crash,Air France asserted,perhaps prematurely, that the crash was due not to any wing problem,like sneaking cracks,but to an exploding engine.That makes it the fastest investigation on record.They have not grounded the fleet beyond a thorough maintenance check,which on these delicate birds,with their 30-year-old technology, will be expensive.British Airways says its Concordes gave the company prestige,shuttling the swells on their surprisingly cramped,1,336-mph passage at $10,000 a head.Take a trip aboard and one must have been like joining an exclusive but rather cramped and uncomfortable club.But part of its charm—to the small number of people who flew it—was that it was superior to the other planes,safer.For the price of aticket,you were buying a guarantee.If British and French industry officials,who built the Concorde together in the 60s as a kind of supersonic dove,decide that feeling is gone forever with Tuesday’s catastrophe,then it’s not hardto imagine that they will seriously consider retiring this distinctive,one-of-a-kind aircraft.21.The reason why the Concorde crashed is that___________.A.one engine failed B.its engine explodedC.a piece of tail fell off D.the cracks had gotten wider22.Concordes are expected to fly ___________8,500 times in the coming 14 or 15 years.A.from Paris to London B.from London to New York CityC.from Paris to New York City D.across the Atlantic Ocean23.British Airways has got prestige from its Concordes because ___________.A.it is superior to other planesB.it offers a safer though expensive flightC.it provides cozy and comfortable seats aboardD.it is the fastest planes in the world24.The word“one-of-a-kind”in the last paragraph probably means“ ___________”.A.unique B.complicated C.delicate D.modern25.It can be seen that the writer’s attitude to the future of Concordes is ___________ .A.biased B.objective C.optimistic D.pessimisticⅢ.Cloze:(1×15=15)Directions:Choose the one from the given A,B,C and D to complete the passage properly.The Great Exhibition held in London in 1851 was probably the first show to be called a world fair.Sincethen there have been 31 universal exhibitions and many cities 26 to have a world fair.In 1928 the International Bureau of Expositions was founded in Paris to co-ordinate these events and ensure thatthere is only one each year.There are various and interlinked objectives 27 holding a world fair.The stated objectives include encouraging trade,increasing the visibility of a city and country, developing tourism, 28 economic development and increasing employment,stimulating the re-use of land and 29 improvements,the celebration of a past event,and the entertainment of the masses, 30 the often unstatedone of obtaining 31 funds from the higher levels of government.The 32 motive for holding a worldfair is to 33 the city ,but as well as selling the city ,there is also the selling of ideas.Most exposare linked in some way to the notion of the progress of civilization or modernity.Not 34 ,Expo 92 in Seville,Spain,had the 35 of discovery.Other themes include education and international understanding.The 36 city usually prepares a special site for the event 37 new buildings and structures of hoped-for architectural distinction and image changing ability are erected.Early examples38 London’s Crystal Palace and Paris’s Eiffel Tower and a more recent one is Seattle’s Space Needle.These structures will remain a 39 legacy to the area,as will any general infrastructure put in place.The fair itself usually contains exhibitions of both arts and manufactures,with pavilions 40 also by foreign nations.World fairs usually last between five and seven months,but sometimes they last for a whole year.26.A.sought B.have sought C.seek D.has sought27.A.about.B.at C.of D.for28.A.altering B.switching C.attracting D.modifying29.A.basic B.infrastructure

brought sharply into international focus at the end of the Second World War.Within a mere 20 years of the industry’s take-off, international tourism displayed nearly all the characteristics of its manufacturing counterpart—it was mass,standardized and rigidly packaged.By the mid-1970s,tourism was being produced along assembly-line principles,similar to the automobile industry, with tourists consuming travel and leisure services in a similar robot-like and routine manner.Understanding the evolution of mass tourism,and the factors that created it,are key to understanding the industry’s transformation.72.Travel,whether for business or pleasure,requires arrangements.The traveler usually faces a variety of choices regarding transportation and accommodations;and if the trip is for pleasure,there area variety of choices regarding destinations,attractions,and activities.The traveler may gatherinformation on prices,value,schedules,characteristics of the destination,and available activities directly, investing a considerable amount of time on the Internet or possibly money on long-distance telephone calls to complete the trip arrangements.Alternatively, the traveler may use the services of a travel agency, obtaining these arrangements.。
