        Without proper planning, tourism can cause problem. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants (居民) of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed (烦恼) and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. 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 tourist industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Business can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals (终点站),first-class roads, and other support facilities (设施) needed by the tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.

    　　Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity service 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 the passage?

    [　　]

    A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.

    B. Building roads and hotels are very important.

    C. Support facilities are highly necessary.

    D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.

    (2)Too much tourism can cause all these troubles EXCEPT ________.

    [　　]

    A. an ill effect on other industries

    B. a change of tourists' customs

    C. over crowdness of places of interest

    D. pressure of traffic

    (3)Not enough tourism can lead to ________.

    [　　]

    A. an increase of unemployment

    B. a decrease in tourist attractions

    C. the higher cost of support facilities

    D. a rise in price and a fall in pay

    (4)It is good for local people to be well aware (意识到) that tourism will ________.

    [　　]

    A. use up a large amount of water

    B. weaken their economy

    C. help to keep their tradition

    D. help to improve their life

    (5)The word “handle” in the last paragraph most probably means _________.

    [　　]

    A. carry
    B. deal with
    C. get in
    D. take down
    答案：D;B;A;D;B
    解析：

    (1) D 由短文第一句推断，本短文之前很有可能谈论“计划对旅游来说是非常重要的”.

    (2) B 其他三项文中都有阐述.A项第二段开始就做了阐述.C、D两项第一段中做了阐述.

    (3) A 由第二段中第四句得出答案.

    (4) D 由第一段第一句和末句推知.

    (5) B 由上下文得知，handle这里应是“处理”的意思，只有B项deal with符合此意思.

         With large and small keyboards everywhere, neither children nor adults need to write much of
    anything by hand.That's a big problem.Study after study suggests that handwriting is important for brain
    development-helping kids get fine motor skills and learn to express and create ideas.Yet the time devoted
    to teaching penmanship (书法) in most schools has shrunk to just one hour a week.Is it time to give up
    handwriting? Have a look at the link between the brain and penmanship, and you may get the answer.
        A test among students in grades 2, 4 and 6 found that they not only wrote faster by hand than by
    keyboard, but also created more ideas when composing essays with handwriting.And other research
    shows that the finger movements required to write by hand activate brain areas involved with thought,
    language, and shortterm memory.
      A recent Indiana University study had one group of children practice writing letters by hand while a
    second group just looked at those letters.Then, both groups of kids entered a functional MRI (核磁共
    振) that scanned their brains as the researchers showed them the same letters.Researchers found that the
    brain activity in the first group was far more advanced and "adultlike".
      Handwriting also affects other people's way they think of adults and children.Several studies have shown
    that the same average essay will score much higher if written with good penmanship and much lower if
    written out in poor handwriting.These studies have also found that people judge the quality of a person's
    ideas based on his or her handwriting.And the consequences are real: On standardized tests with
    handwritten sections, like the SAT, all essay that is considered hard to recognize gets a big zero.
        Studies show that this isn't only an Englishlanguage phenomenon.Chinese and Japanese youths are
    suffering from "character amnesia". They can't remember how to write characters, thanks to computers
    and text messaging.Some experts fear that Chinese writing and reading are so closely linked in the brain
    that China's reading ability as a nation could suffer.

    1. According to the passage, it can be learned that ________. 

    A. many researches have been done on handwriting
    B. essays can't be composed without handwriting
    C. all children write faster by keyboard than by hand
    D. most schools are trying to teach more handwriting

    2. What does the Indiana University study imply?

    A. Children should practice writing letters.        
    B. Handwriting can increase brain activity.
    C. It's good for children to enter a functional MRI.  
    D. Letters should often be shown to children.

    3. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

    A. Handwriting affects both adults and children.
    B. Handwriting helps a person write better essays.
    C. SAT should be done with good handwriting.  
    D. Good handwriting makes a person seem smarter.

    4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

    A. Essays written with keyboards will get lower scores.
    B. The quality of your ideas depends on your handwriting.
    C. Chinese and Japanese youths don't know how to write.
    D. Less handwriting may affect China's reading ability.

    5. The passage tries to tell us that ________.

    A. keyboards are more popular than handwriting    
    B. we shouldn't judge people by their handwriting
    C. handwriting is of great importance              
    D. it's time to give up using keyboards

         With alarming regularity, we read about oil tankers having accidents near land and the terrible
    consequences of the oil spills(泄露) on people, nature, and the environment.
         Millions of dollars have been used in developing special chemicals to help dismiss the spills and to
    clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil. Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals
    are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea.
         Of all today's environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious. Although oil
    is poisonous, it is a natural material. In the end, it breaks down naturally. There are, of course, long-term
    effects, but it is usually more serious in the short term.
         Nature by itself works better than chemical materials, but when there is a spill, we demand that
    governments act immediately with as much hi-tech knowledge as possible. In 1967 the tanker Torrey
    Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tons of oil into the ocean.
    If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened.
         Governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that
    we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage. Interestingly, the
    biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run.
         We should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil. Govern
    -ments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power, electricity, hydrogen, and so on. Much of this research has, in the past, been held back by the oil, gas, and coal.
         If the world's millions of cars were 10% more efficient -and the industry could easily produce cars at
    least twice as efficient, we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year. If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher, too.

    1. What is the passage mainly talking about?
    A. Oil spills pollution.  
    B. What oil pollution is.
    C. Oil tanker accidents.          
    D. How to reduce oil pollution.

    2. How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe?
    A. By giving a description.    
    B. By making an argument.
    C. By giving an example.      
    D. By drawing a diagram.

    3. What does the underlined word "risk" in Paragraph 5 refer to?
    A. Transportation depending more on oil.
    B. Poisonous oil breaking down naturally.
    C. Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea.
    D. More environmental damage being caused.

    4. Which suggestion is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage?
    A. We should build safer tankers in the near future.
    B. We should develop new technologies to cut oil use.
    C. Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines.
    D. Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea.
