Tourism is the temporary movement of people to destinations outside their normal
places of work and residence(居住),the activities 11 during their stay in those
destinations, and the facilities created to 12 their needs.
Tourism is a luxury. Until recently, participation 13 restricted to the select
few 14 could afford both the time and money to travel. 15 ,increased leisure and
higher incomes have combined to enable more people to join in. Improvements in
transportation, and the growth of inclusive(全包的)tours and other forms of
relatively cheap vacation travel, have further 16 the opportunity to travel for
pleasure. Today the majority of people in the developed world and increasing
numbers in the developing countries are tourists 17 some time in their lives.
Tourism is no longer the special right of a few but is an accepted and 18 expected
part of the life-styles of a large and growing number of people.
Tourism is 19 major economic and social significance. More than 270 million
tourists spend $92 billion(US)annually in places outside their own countries.
This is one of the largest items in the world’s foreign trade. With a world growth
in visitor arrival rate of 20 6 per cent per year, tourism is also one of the
fastest growing economic activities. It is the most important export industry
and earner of foreign exchange in many countries.

III. Reading Comprehension(30 points, 2 points for each item)
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案,并在答题卡上将相应
的字母涂黑。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
By the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the war with the French and the Indians,
England gained possession of Canada and all the territory east of the Mississippi
River. French influence on this continent thus came to an end; England now
controlled most of North America. But the war had been long and expensive. England
had many debts. George III, king of England, after consulting with his advisers,
decided that the American colonists(殖民者)should help pay some of the expenses
of this war. A standing English army of 10,000 men had been left in the colonies(殖
民地)for protection against the Indians. The English government also felt that
the colonists should share in the expenses of maintaining this army. The result
was a series of measures, the Grenville Program, passed by Parliament and designed
to raise money in the colonies. Some of these measures were accepted by the
colonists, but one in particular, the Stamp Act, was met with great protest. The
Stamp Act required that stamps, ranging in price from a few cents to almost a
dollar, be placed on all newspapers, advertisements, bills of sale, wills, legal
papers, etc. The Stamp Act was one of the causes of the American Revolution. It
affected everyone, rich and poor alike. Some businessmen felt that the act would
surely ruin their businesses.
Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater effect
than that of a young lawyer from Virginia -Patrick Henry. Henry had only recently
been elected to the Virginia Assembly. Yet when the Stamp Act came up for
discussion, he opposed it almost single-handedly. He also expressed, for the first
time, certain ideas that were held by many Americans of the time but that never
before had been stated so openly. "Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be
bought at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty(万能的)God! I know
not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"
21.From the text we learn that ___________________.
A、Britain took over Canada from the Indians in 1763
B、there had been a war between the French and the Indians which ended in 1763
C、France used to have control of Canada and some areas east of the Mississippi
River
D、the French still kept some influence in North America through the Treaty of
Paris
22.The Grenville Program refers to ___________________.
A、King George III’s plan to gather money in North America
B、the British government’s desire to raise money in North America
C、a plan to share the expenses of maintaining an army in the American colonies
D、a decision of the British Parliament to collect money in the American colonies
23.The Stamp Act ___________________.
A、was an act about selling stamps at prices from a few cents to almost a dollar
B、required that all commercial and legal documents in America have stamps on
them
C、was the main cause of the American Revolution
D、chiefly affected business people who felt it would ruin their businesses
24.From the text we learn that Patrick Henry ___________________.
A、had been a member of the Virginia Assembly for a long time
B、didn’t know what courses to take to complete his studies as a lawyer
C、was almost the only one who openly protested against the Stamp Act
D、didn’t value life or peace as much as other people did
25.This passage is mainly about ___________________.
A、one of the events leading to the American Revolution
B、the Treaty of Paris between Britain and France
C、the Grenville Program to raise money in the American coloniesD、Patrick Henry, a hero who opposed the Stamp Act
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
A number of recent books have reworked subjects, forms and writing techniques.
Today’s children read stories about divorce, death, drugs, air pollution,
political extremism and violence. Relying on the magic of the illustrator, all
kinds of books are being published.
Before they know to read, babies can play with books made of cloth or books made
to take in the bath. Later on, they are given picture books that may be cubical(立
方形的)or triangular, outsized or very small. They also like work-books which
come with watercolours and paintbrushes, and comic books(漫画册)filled with
details where they have to spot a figure hidden among thousands of others.
Not that the traditional children’s books are being neglected. There are still
storybooks where the pages pop up(跳起)when they are opened, to make a forest
or a castle. Among the latest ideas are interactive stories where readers choose
the plot(情节)or ending they want, and books on CD, which are very popular in
rich industrialized countries.
The public has enthusiastically greeted the wealth of creativity displayed by
publishers. "Previously, giving a child a book as often seen as improper," says
Canadian author Marie-France Hebért. Her books, published by a French-language
publisher, sell like hot cakes in hundreds of thousands of copies. "There’s a
real appetite for reading these days and I try to get across to children the passion
for reading which is food for the mind and the heart, like a medicine or a vitamin."
26."Reworked" as used in Paragraph 1 means "___________________".
A、reworded
B、rewritten
C、processed
D、revised
27.In the second paragraph the author lists the kinds of books
___________________.
A、recently published
B、of various shapes
C、babies like
D、popular among children
28.Which of the following statements is true?
A、Books made of cloth came out earlier than picture books.
B、When you buy work-books you will be given free comic books.
C、Traditional children’s books are not being removed from market.
D、Babies cannot have books while taking a bath.
29.The expression "get across to children" in the last paragraph probably means
"___________________".
A、pass on to children
B、make children believe
C、teach children
D、get around to children
30.The main idea of the last paragraph is that people have ___________________.
A、warmly welcomed the abundance of wealth shown by publishers
B、warmly welcomed the enormous amount of creativity shown by publishers
C、showed great enthusiasm in publishers of treat wealty
D、reacted strongly to the unlimited creativity of publishers
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Every body gets sick. Disease and injury make us suffer throughout our lives until,
finally, some attack on the body brings our existence to an end. Fortunately,
most of us in modern industrialized societies can take relatively good health
for granted most of the time. In fact, we tend to fully realize the importance
of good health only when we or those close to us become seriously ill. At such
times we keenly appreciate the ancient truth that health is our most precious
asset, one for which we might readily give up such rewards as power, wealth, or
fame(荣誉).
Because ill health is universal problem, affecting both the individual and society,
the human response to sickness is always socially organized. No society leaves
the responsibility for maintaining health and treating ill health entirely to
the individual. Each society develops its own concepts of health and sickness
and authorizes certain people to decide who is sick and how the sick should be
treated. Around this focus there arises, over time, a number of standards, values,
groups, statuses, and roles: in other words, an institution(体系;机构).To the
sociologist(社会学家), then, medicine is the institution concerned with the
maintenance of health and treatment of disease.
In the simplest pre-industrial societies, medicine is usually an aspect of
religion. The social arrangements for dealing with sickness are very elementary,
often involving only two roles: the sick and the healer(治疗者).The latter is
typically also the priest(牧师), who relies primarily on religious ceremonies,
both to identify and to treat disease: for example, bones may be thrown to
establish a cause, songs may be used to bring about a cure. In modern
industrialized societies, on the other hand, the institution has become highly
complicated and specialized, including dozens of roles such as those of brain
surgeon, druggist, hospital administrator, linked with various organizations
such as nursing homes, insurance companies, and medical schools. Medicine, in
fact, has become the subject of intense sociological interest precisely because
it is now one of the most pervasive and costly institutions of modern society.
31.Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 1?
A、Nowadays most people believe they can have fairly good health.
B、Human life involves a great deal of pain and suffering.
C、Most of us are aware of the full value of health.
D、Ancient people believed that health was more expensive than anything else.

VII. Translation from English into Chinese(15 points)
将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答卷纸上。
Americans are proud of the medical achievements made in this country. Medical
scientists have found cures and prevention for such diseases as polio(小儿麻
痹症)and tuberculosis(肺结核).They have learned a great deal about cancer and
heart disease. Many lives have been saved. American hospitals are the most modern
and best equipped medical facilities in the world. But this degree of excellence
has been expensive.
Medical costs in the United States are very high. There is no national health
plan for Americans. But there are many programs available for this purpose. Many
people have health plans at the companies where they work. Under these plans,
the company pays a fixed sum of money regularly into a fund. Then when the employee
needs medical help, he can use money from the fund to pay for it.
Other people have health insurance. Each monty they pay money to insurance
companies which then pay their medical expenses. In some medical plans, the
insurance company is also the medical institution. People pay regularly and
directly to the hospital. Then when they need medical treatment, they go to the
hospital without paying more money.
