题目列表(包括答案和解析)
At one time, people used to travel to foreign countries because they thought they would be different from home—the building, the food, the national dress. Nowadays, however, one large city is very like another. They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels which look Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald’s, their KFCs, their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And, of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars, usually wearing the same kinds of clothing and the world’s airlines are all flying the same aircraft, Boeings or Airbuses.
What, therefore, is the purpose of foreign travel for people who are not on business? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they cannot experience at home? Why travel to foreign countries at all? The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nation’s history that is its main attraction. Most of today’s tourists travel overseas to find out what foreign countries and cultures used to be like, not what they are like today. The words “cultural tourism” are now part of the language of tourism, and it is the museums and works of art in many countries that are their main attractions.
If they are lucky—and have had sensible, strong governments—many countries also usually have at least a few beautiful places for tourists to visit.
Finally there is perhaps a nation’s greatest attraction: its people. A nation is not just its historical buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, it is also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people every year. They come mainly because of the friendliness of the Thai people. It is why the Pacific Islands are also so popular. There may not be much to see or do in Fiji, but there are lots of friendly, smiling people to make visitors feel welcome.

Edward is entering a university and has to decide what foreign language to study, since he needs 12 credits(学分) to graduate. He studied Japanese by himself in high school and even had a chance to use some of it when he took a trip to Tokyo one summer. He enjoyed his trip very much and thought that maybe some day he would like to work for an international company based in Japan.
The reason the university requires students to study a foreign language is that they feel that it makes the students more educated. Edward does not feel that this should be the main reason for studying a foreign language. He thinks that being able to communicate with people from different cultures is far more important than just impressing people with your knowledge.
After considering the possibilities of studying German or French so that he could travel in Europe with little difficulty, he finally makes up his mind to continue his study of Japanese. He feels that being good at Japanese would make it much easier for him to be accepted if he decides to work and live in Japan for some time.
1．One of the reasons for Edward to study a foreign language is that ________.
[ ]
A．he had just graduated from a high school
B．he had just decided to enter a university
C．he wants to impress people with his knowledge
D．he needs certain credits to graduate
2．Which of the following has nothing to do with his final decision to continue his study of Japanese?
[ ]
A．The university requires students to study that language.
B．The university thinks that a foreign language makes the students more educated.
C．Edward studied Japanese by himself and used it when he traveled in Tokyo.
D．He hopes that some day he may work for a company in Japan.
3．For Edward, ________ is less important than the rest.
[ ]
A．to travel in a foreign country
B．to work and live in another country
C．to show people that you are very learned
D．to communicate with people from other cultures

[ ]
