problems.For example,too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country.If tourists create too much traffic,the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy.They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely.They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy.It is important to think about the people of a destina tion country and how tourism affects them.Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem.If tourism grows too quickly,people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry.T his means that other parts of the country’s e conomy can suffer.On the other hand,if there is not enough tourism,people can lose jobs.Businesses can also lose money,it costs a great deal of money to build large hotels,airports,air terminals,first-class roads,and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions.For example,a major internationalclass tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build.If this room is not used most of t he time,the owners of the hotel will lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning.There must be many support facilities as well,including roads to get to the hotels,electricity,severs(阴沟) to handle waste,and water.All of these support facilities cost money.If they are not used because there are not enough tourists,jobs and money are lost.1.Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before this passage?A.It is extremely important to develop tourism.B.Building roads and hotels is essential.C.Support facilities are highly necessary.D.Planning is of great importance to tourism.2.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT .A.a bad effect on other industriesB.a change of tourists’ customsC.over-crowdedness of places of interestD.pressure on traffic3.Not enough tourism can lead to .A.an increase of unemploymentB.a decrease in tourist attractionsC.the higher cost of support facilitiesD.a rise in price and a fall in pay4.The word“handle”in the last paragraph most probably means .A.carry awayB.pick upC.get inD.take downBPeople have sailed the world in quite small boats.It is not an easy thing to do.Sometimes the weather gets bad.That can be the end of everyone.Accidents can happen easily and quickly.One family once had an accident with a big fish.The fish swam under their boat and hit holes in it.Sea water came in,of course,and the boat soon sank.However,these people had another,smaller boat—a lifeboat.And they all got into that.They lived and hoped for many days.They ate and slept,and they always hoped.At last a ship found them.How do people live in a lifeboat? Perhaps for weeks or months? They must be strong in every way.They must have hope—they must want to live,even when you cannot eat and drink.Y ou cannot drink sea water.Drink a lot of sea water and you will quickly die.Sailors can drink rain water and they must catch it in their boat.They must also catch fish and birds for food.Lifeboats seldom carry a stove,so sailors cannot cook their food.Raw(生的) fish and bird meat is not very nice,but there is no other choice in a lifeboat! The sailors must eat raw food,or they will die.What do people think about in a life boat? They think about land,a warm bed,dry clothes,fresh water and food,food,food.1.When sailor’s b oat sinks,the lifeboat gives them .A.lifeB.bedsC.hopeD.rainwater2.One family once had an accident at sea,because .A.their boat was caught on bad weatherB.the boat knocked against the rock and sea water came inC.some fish broke the bottom of their boatD.none of them knew how to sail on the sea3.Sailors can catch for food and drink at sea in a lifeboat.A.rain waterB.fish and birdsC.sea waterD.A and B4.The text tells us that a lifeboat does not often carry .A.a person who cooks foodB.something used for cookingC.food for cookingD.a large basin5.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Sailing around the world in quite small boats is not easy.B.All the food that sailors have in a lifeboat is cooked fish and bird.C.Whoever drinks a lot of sea water will die.D.No one can live for weeks in a lifeboat unless he’s strong and wants to live.CAre you forty years old and fat? Do you wear fine clothes?Do you look rich?If so,be careful.There is pickpocket（扒手）looking for you.World travelers,away from home and usually carrying much money,are often troubled by pickpockets in foreign countries,but they should remember that there are pickpockets in their own country,too.A typical pickpocket is under forty years of age,usually a male.He has nimble（灵敏的）fingers and has trained himself in running.Generally,he carries a newspaper or magazine in his hand.He may appear fairly clever and pretend to be calm.He has le arned his job from another pickpocket,and he repays hi s “teacher” by giving him a percentage of the money or things which he steals.The skilled pickpocket always operates in crowded places.V ery well-dressed men and slightly drunken men are the favorite objects of the pickpocket.An average-sized department store hires about six or seven full-time detectives.These men and women are constantly looking for pickpockets quickly.But a good pickpocket knows these things and is very careful.He is especially busy in buses,trains and subways（地铁）between 11：00 a.m. and 3：00 p.m.,when there are many shoppers with much money to spend.He carefully remembers the payday and bonus（奖金）times of companies.Pickpocketing and stealing from a shop together represent about 75% of daytime petty crimes in America.The sentence for these crimes is usually from three to five years in prison.After finishing their sentence,pickpockets and thieves seldom reform;they usually advance to more serious crimes.1.From the first paragraph we know that .A.only those persons who are forty years old and fat are the aims of the pickpocketB.only those persons who wear fine clothes look richC.world travelers are only troubled in foreign countriesD.those who look rich and those who travel abroad should pay more attention to pickpockets2.According to this passage,what does a typical pickpocket look like?A.An old gentleman.B.A fat rich man.C.A clever calm man.D.A middle-aged traveler.3.What is the job of a detective in a department store?A.To look for the pickpockets around.B.To punish the pickpockets in no time.C.To sentence the pickpockets they find.D.To keep the whole store in good order.4.Why is a pickpocket especially busy on buses between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.?A.Because this is the time when detectives have a rest.B.Because this is the time when many shoppers carry much money to spend.C.Because this is the time when companies pay bonus to their employees.D.Because this is the time when their hands are nimblest.DAttention,Tim Hortons S tainless Steel Travel

first step is to present the warranty(保单),or any other record that might help,at the store of buying.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 is to 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 favour,taking it as true that he or she has a just right.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible,but if they cannot get to the place of buying,it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in the letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly,and especially when the consumer can show clearly w hat is wrong with what was bought in question.If this cannot be done,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 co ming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo （立体音响）does not work.”The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer.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 expected result,the consumer can go a step further.He or she can threaten （恐吓）to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ rights.1.When a consumer finds what he bought has a fault in it,he should first .plain personally to the managerB.show something provable in written form to the storeC.threaten to take the
