Reading comprehension: (2 × 10=20)Directions: Read the following passages and make your proper choices.(1)The art of growing dwarf trees, or “bonsai”as their Japanese creators call them, is increasing in popularity in the Untied States. Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them; elaborate equipment is notrequired to grow these lovely and tiny trees, but time, patience, and a sense of natural beauty are.There are four important guidelines to follow in growing bonsai. First, one must be careful in choosing the type of tree. Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai, since the growing conditions are unusual. Varieties of pine with small needles and hardwood trunks are especially suitable.Second, one must be careful in choosing the size of the container the bonsai will be in. This is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined to the tree's trunk and leaves, not its root system——a process quite unlike what is done with other plants.Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is trim the roots and branches of the tree periodically. Unless this is done, the plants will not have the proper proportions and will look unnatural. The Japanese ideal for bonsai is to have trees which are just like normal trees in everything but size.The last thing one most do is to be careful to keep the miniature trees well-watered. Because bonsai are grown in smaller-than-usual containers, they often need more water than ordinary houseplants do.As one can see from the above, the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort. The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings can be great, however. Imagine a stately pine tree, 100 years old, standing two feet high; imagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family. That is actually what bonsai-growing is all about: establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world.16.Bonsai are _____.A. extremely popular in the United StatesB. trees which have been made to grow in miniature formC. a kind of natural art form originating in the U.S.D. very beautiful but not very long-lasting17. Compared to other houseplants, bonsai often require _____ than one might expect.A. less lightB. more waterC. a large containerD. less care18.What does the ideal bonsai look like?A. It has abnormally large leaves.B. It has an unusually thick trunk.C. It has many more branches.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.19.What is the implied meaning of “a certain amount of time and effort”(last paragraph)?A. More time and effort than ordinary houseplants do.B. A definite and exact amount of time and effort.C. More time and effort than most people can expend.D. A constantly changing amount of time and effort.20. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for this passage?A. Japanese Art Forms.B. Bonsai——A Marriage of Art and Nature.C. The Problems of Growing BonsaiD. Four Ways to Grow Bonsai.(2)On November 17, 1997, He Guangwei, director e of the National Tourism Administration(NTA), signed an agreement in Washington with Jonathan Linen, vice-chairman of the American Express, designating the American Express Card as China's tourist credit card for 1998 to 2000. This is the second time the card has won this honor.“Since the American Express Card was designated for the first time in 1994, it has played an important role in China's tourism,” said Director He at the signing ceremony.Over recent years, the number of tourists using the American Express Card to handle business, tourism and activities related to work in China has increased. According to Bank of China statistics, the amount of business using American Express Cards occupies 45 percent of the accounts signed with foreign credit cards. In addition, the number of accounts signed with the card by overseas tourists stands at 15 percent of China's tourist income in foreign exchange.In order to develop China's tourism, the American Express and the NTA carried out a series of market promotion activities in North America, including distributing a million copies of the 24-page World of Wonders ——Hong Kong and China in North America. The American Express has enthusiastically supported China's tourism education and training. In 1992, in cooperation with the Beijing Tourism College, it established the tourism training center whichhas successfully trained more than 600 tourism administrative personnel.The new agreement marked the further strengthening of cooperation between the American Express and the NTA. It is also one of the important plans by both parties to boost the long-term development of China's tourism. “The American company has a wide tourism network in China and we are very honored to be able to make contributions to China's tourism,” said Linen.At present, the company has four offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Xiamen and 30 tourist service centers in 22 cities offering tour and credit card services, including reissuing lost cards, reporting missing travel checks, consultation, settling of card accounts, handling customers' post and other services.21. According to the information given, we can safely say the American Express Card has beenused in China for ______.A. three yearsB. four yearsC. six yearsD. eight years22. According to the article, the following statements are true except ____.A. American Express Card has won the honor of being assigned the credit card for use inChina for the second timeB. 55 percent of the accounts signed with foreign credit cards are not occupied by usingAmerican Express CardC. the number of tourists using the American Express Card in China in tourism and otherareas has been on the riseD. only the American Express Card is being permitted to use in China in business, tourismand other related activities23. The American Express is doing the following services in China except ____.A. handling customer's post servicesB. dealing with loans to businessesC. settling of annual card accountsD. reporting missing travel checks24. We can infer from the article that one of the best ways for tourism market promotion is to____.A. send out large numbers of brochuresB. designate only one foreign credit cardC. increase the use of American Express CardD. handle business in foreign exchange25.

A lobby, elevator, or room that has not been maintained properly, that looks shabby, or that contains items requiring repair creates a bad impression on the guest. And of course, inadequate air conditioning, poor heating, or improper plumbing will result in immediate complaints. The guest pays a substantial amount of money for accommodations and expects the equipment to function at least as well as it does at home. Therefore, the chief engineer and staff have an important role to fulfill in satisfying the guests' demands and thus helping to maintain the profit level for the hotel. At the same time, the engineering department's cost must be properly monitored and controlled.72.As China's economy shifts to a more market system, the domestic travel industry will face increasing challenges in a more highly competitive environment. This will require domestic travel services to constantly study their market conditions, design travel products according to the needs and wants of 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.旅游英语选读模拟试题A参考答案课程代码：00837I.

Reading comprehension: (2×10=20)Directions:Read the following passages and make your proper choices.（1）A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were tothem. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians should best be considered North Americans. There are of course exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence. Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world.The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality. Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you didn’t take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation.Today there are many charitable organizations whichspecialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. “I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner -- amazing.”Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly. The casual friendliness of many Amricans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition.As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to “translate”cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when an American uses the word “friend”, the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor’s language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americansvalue highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.16. In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ______.A. rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the USB. small-minded officials deserve a serious commentC. those who are not so friendly deserve a commentD. Canadians are as friendly as their neighbors17. The italicized phrase “take in”(Para.3) most probably means “______”.A. appreciateB. admitC. accommodateD. absorb18. It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.A. culture exercises an influence over social interrelationshipB. courteous convention and individual interest are interrelatedC. various virtues display themselves exclusively among friendsD. social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions19. Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ______.A. out of a charitable impulseB. in view of their long-distance travelC. to improve their hard lifeD. to add some flavor to their own daily life20. The tradition of hospitality to strangers ______.A. tends to be superficial and artificialB. is generally well kept up in North AmericaC. is always understood properlyD. has something to do with the busy tourist trails（2）One of the things I really looked forward to in my retirement was the weekly shopping expedition. I imagined pushing the trolley slowly, around the supermarket and picking out odd items that took my fancy. But, alas, my innocent dreams were rudely shattered.First it is necessary to secure a shopping trolley. Carefully designed not only to hold all shapes and sizes of purchases but also all ages and types of small children, a single trolley is hard to get out of the line of trolleys where it is parked. Each trolley defies separation from its fellows without sharp jerks or the assistance of two strong men.The next lesson is that women never follow a logical route when shopping. Your wife has disappeared. After ten minutes of searching, when you eventually find her in a far comer, sheenquires rather tersely: “Where have you been all this time, dear?”Supermarket managers are sent on courses to learn how to tempt the customers and persuade them to buy goods they do not really need, at prices they are not able to afford. As a newcomer, I was a sucker for their clever techniques and took many goods off the shelves. But my innocence was soon curbed by my wife. “Put it back, dear.”“You’ve tried that before and didn’t like it”. “No, it’s too expensive.” I soon learnt to be a wheeler of trolleys and not a dealer in goods.But the most frightening hazard is supermarket trolleys driven by the so-called weaker sex. These women adhere to no code and give no quarter, and constant evasive action is necessary to avoid skinned knuckles, crushed toes or bruised shins. Their usual parking methods are either sideways across the aisles, or side by side with a friend to exchange gossip, and a polite “Excuse me” from traffic usually meets with no response.After the week’s groceries have been collected the last trial is passing through the checkout. Never join the shortest queue. It usually contains several shoppers who pay bywriting out a personal check and who wait until all their purchases have been totaled up before beginning a frantic search through bulging handbags for elusive checkbooks. When the book eventually emerges, the customer never knows the date, asks again for the forgotten total and omits to put the address on the back.Don’t be fooled, either, by thinking that this is the end of the exercise. When the check has been carefully examined by the cashier a bell rings, a red light flashed overhead and there is a further wait until a supervisor arrives to confirm that the check can be accepted. Then it is our turn and the checkout girl is so quick and efficient that we don’t have time to get out own checkbook ready. But the people who are packing our shopping are kind and give us cheery smiles.When we emerge once more into the great outside world eggs are running down my trousers. Just before the eggs are crushed by the collision between two trolleys, I hear the voice of my wife call out: “Oops, dear, mind the trolley.” Shopping!21. What does the author want to tell us in the passage?A. The weekly shopping expedition in his retirement was exciting.B. His joy of shopping was broken by many annoyances.C. It is necessary to know how to use the shopping trolley properly.D. People easily get lost in a big supermarket.22. Which of the following is NOT true of a weekly shopping?A. It is difficult to take a trolley from the line of trolleys.B. It is difficult to go shopping with a woman following an illogical route.C. It is difficult to resist the temptation of the promotion of goods.D. It is difficult to avoid hurting the women.23. The italicized word “curbed”(Para.4) probably means “______”.A. correctedB. blamedC. checkedD. shattered24. In the eyes of the author, supermarket managers are only too pleased ______.A. to introduce the function of their goodsB. to promote their goods to the customersC. to deal with the checks in doubtD. to help the customers find the goods they need25.

In a small hotel, all the functions may be combined and the duties performed by one person, be it the owner or an employee. The larger the hotel and the greater the volume, the more staff is needed to service the guests properly. The major convention hotels, with 1000 or more employees, require more supervisors, thus creating more departments and, as a result, assigning more specific duties to each employee.Hotels vary not only in size but in character, in type of clientele, and in scope of activities. Every function exists, but priorities differ from hotel to hotel. The management of each must determine the departments, and the number of employees in each, needed for its own operation.72. Generally there are two types of tour guides, one in charge of local sightseeing and the other accompanying a group throughout its travels and making all the arrangements for the group. In China, they are usually known as local guide and national guide. The sightseeing guide must be familiar with the points of interest that he is showing to the visitors. He usually gives prepared talk but he must also be prepared to answer a lot of questions. And of course he has to deal with any problems that occur during the tour. These may includebad weather, sudden illness, an accident and so on. It would be impossible to name everything that might happen.
