Without proper planning, tourism can cause 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 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 wealth 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. 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. 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（配套设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism 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, sewers 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.
Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection？
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.
The underlined word“ inhabitants” （in Paragraph 1 ） probably means________.
A. tourists B. passengers
C. population D. citizens
Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ________ .
A. a bad effect on other industries
B. a change of tourists’ customs
C. over - crowdedness of places of interest
D. pressure on traffic
It can be inferred from the text that ________ .

B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction
C. other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from tourism much
D. we can't build too many support facilities

A new era is upon us. Call it what you will: the service economy, the information age, the knowledge society. It has changed the way we work. Already we’re partly there. The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or more in many of these countries) are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the breadth (广度) of the economic transformation can’t be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to a basic new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held concepts about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers — all these are being challenged.
We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip (芯片), would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots. Tomorrow’s achievements in biotechnology, artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more important, and the people who possess it, whether they work in manufacturing (制造业) or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else. If you cast your mind ahead 10 years, information services will be predominant (最重要的). It will be the way you do your job.
1.One of the great changes caused by the knowledge society is that ______.
|
A．most people have to take part-time jobs |
|
B．people have to change their jobs from time to time |
|
C．people’s traditional concepts about work are no longer completely true |
|
D．the difference between the employee and the employer has become unimportant |
2.The future will probably belong to those who ______.
|
A．have more brains |
|
B．are involved in the service industries |
|
C．cast their mind ahead instead of looking back |
|
D．possess and know how to make use of information |
3.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
|
A．Computers and the knowledge society |
|
B．Features and meanings of the New Era |
|
C．Service Industries in the Modern Society |
|
D．Rapid Advancement of Information Technology |

Colleges may try to do a lot to prepare students for study abroad – telling about culture shock, warning about homesickness, recommending books about the country. But when it comes to adjusting to campus life when they return, schools haven't done as much, even though the transition is sometimes almost as difficult.
"They can feel disoriented and depressed. They find things are not exactly the way they were when they left," said Antonio Jimenez, director of the Center for International Affairs at California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo, California, US. "They find that people don't care much about their experiences."
Some colleges are now rethinking their approach to study abroad, recognizing that students might need almost as much help adjusting to life back home as they did getting ready to leave: students experience a sort of reverse culture shock when they return to the US.
They might be troubled by the wealth and waste they see back home or they might feel homesick for their new country and its customs. And when they try to talk about their experiences, people quickly lose interest, especially if they haven't lived abroad themselves.
Down the road, they also might find it difficult to translate their time abroad into experience that an employer finds attractive.
Some California universities have organized conferences to help students make the most of their time abroad. During a one-day event, students learn how to adjust after living abroad, talk about their experiences and incorporate them into their lives and future careers.
Blythe Cherney, 22, a senior who has studied in Thailand and Britain, found the workshops helpful.
"Any experience abroad does have an effect on you," Cherney said. "When you come back, it's important to talk about it, especially with people who know what you've been through."
Yet most universities focus more on preparation than reorientation. When students return, they might have a welcome home reception. But for the most part, universities figure students can fend for themselves.
1.Which of the following is NOT the trouble that students face when they return from studying overseas?
A. Culture shock B. Homesick for their new country
C. Losing interest in their homeland D. Difficult transition
2.The wrier is _________ the help colleges offer for the students when they return from studying overseas?
A. pleased with B. dissatisfied with
C. indifferent with D. proud of
3.The underlined word “workshops” refers to _________.
A. conferences where people share their experiences
B. buildings where machines are made
C. shops where books are bought
D. labs where experiments are conduct
4.After the students come back_________.
A. They will easily find a good job.
B. People are very interested in their experiences.
C. They have to waste time and money.
D. They are confused and disappointed.
5.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Overseas students experience culture shock in foreign countries.
B. Some universities offer to help students in need.
C. Returned students find it difficult to translate their time abroad into experience.
D. Returning from studying overseas, students face more trouble than they expected.
