places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants
become annoyed and unhappy. They began 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. Business 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 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 owner of the hotel will
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.
B. Building roads and hotel is essential.
C. Support facilities are highly necessary.
D. Planning is of great important to tourism.
B. passengers
C. population
D. citizens
B. a change of tourists" customs

B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction
C. other parts of a country"s economy won"t benefit from tourism much

A. waste a lot of money
B. weaken their economy

Automakers reported further drops in sales of tracks and SUVs (sport utility vehicles) in the United States
Big, fuel-hungry vehicles brought in big profits-until Americans faced big costs for fuel now they want smaller
and more fuel-efficient cars. The head of General Motors, Rick Wagoner, says the prices are changing consular
behavior. G.M sales in the United States dropped 30%from last year. The Ford Motor Company had a 19%
drop.
General Motors announced it will close four truck factories in North America and expand car production.
It may also see its Hummer division. Hummers are military-like vehicles. But Rick Wagoner said G-M will go
forward with plans to make the Chevy Volt, a car powered mainly by electricity. He said it will be available no
later than the end of 2010.
Still, new findings show that Americans are driving less. The Federal Highway Administration says the
number of kilometers traveled on public roads has dropped since late 2006.
Many people may be driving less because of high gasoline prices But transportation officials worry that less
demand for gasoline will mean shortages of money from fuel taxes that support reads. Use of public
transportation, though, is up. The American Public Transportation Association says it increased three percent
this year.
High fuel prices are also affecting air travel. The International Air Transport Association expects the
industry to lose at least two billion dollars this year, mainly because of prices for jet fuel. This week more air,
carriers in the United States announced plans to cut flights and jobs and remove older. Less fuel efficient planes
from service Continental Airlines said record-high fuel prices have produced the worst crisis (危机) for the
industry since 2001.
B. G.M. sales in America had a 19%drop
C. oil prices affect people"s buying behavior
D. people like bigger and more fuel-efficient cars
B. To make a new kind of truck powered mainly by electricity.
C. To close truck factories in America.
D. To make more vehicles such as Hummers for the army.
B. 1ess fuel-efficient planes will come out of service
C. airlines faces till worst crisis since 2001
D. the effect of oil prices on airlines
B. the Ford Motor Company doesn"t face the challenge of increasing oil prices
C. carmakers will get more money from American government
D. the prices of cars will be much cheaper than they are now
listen to their conversation:
"I can"t believe it-a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn"t it beautiful? And it"s a lot
cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome."
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It"s nice and the price is right. You"ve never
heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. You never
realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from
store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.
Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product
seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to
use it.
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don"t pay attention to traditional
advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is
a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don"t trust ads.
So advertising agencies hire young actors to "perform" in bars and other places where young adults go.
Some people might call this practice deceptive (骗人的), but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it
creative. "Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing."
However, one might ask what exactly is "real" about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic
about a sweater? Advertising executives would say it"s no less real than an ad. The difference is that you
know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You don" t know when a conversation you overhear
is just a performance.
B. be heard by people around
C. be admired by other shoppers
D. decide on buying the sweater
B. an advertising agency
C. a clothing company in Rome
D. the brand name of a sweater
B. The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.
C. Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it"s too direct.
D. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.
B. Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters
C. Ways of Advertising
D. Undercover Marketing
I wanted"-so went a famous line. In reality, the sit-in movement was not a joke. It began in Greensboro,
North Carolina, at 4:30 P. M., on the afternoon of February 1, 1960. On that day, Ezell Blair Jr., Joseph
McNeil, David Richmond, and Franklin McClain entered an F. W. Woolworth store. They sat down at a
segregated (隔离的) lunch counter, ordered coffee, and then refused to leave when told, "We don"t serve
Negroes."
The four young men had expected not to be served. What no one had expected, however, was that they
would sit there and politely, but firmly, refuse to leave. This was 1960, and throughout the South black
people were not allowed to sit at the same lunch counters with whites, swim at the same beaches, use the
same water fountains, or worship at the same churches. Segregation was the law, and it meant separation
of the races in every way.
The next day, the four returned to Woolworth"s-this time accompanied by sixteen other students. Again
they sat at the lunch counter and requested service. Again they were refused. And again, they declined to
leave. On Wednesday, February 3, seventy students filled the Woolworth"s store. This time, the group
included white students as well as black. Many brought school books and studied while they waited. By this
time, their protest had become known nationwide as a "sit-in".
On Thursday, there was trouble. An angry group of white teenagers began shoving (推搡) and cursing
them but were quickly removed by the police. By February 10, the sit-in movement had spread to five other
states.
By September 1961, more than 70,000 people, both black and white, had participated in sit-ins at segregated
restaurants and lunch counters, kneel-ins at segregated churches, read-ins at segregated libraries, and swim-ins
at segregated pools and beaches. Over 3,600 people had been arrested, and more than 100 students had been
driven away. But they were getting results. On June 10, 1964, the U. S Senate passed a major civil rights bill
outlawing (宣布为非法) racial discrimination in all public places. President Lyndon Johnson signed it on July
2, and it became law. But the highest credit still goes to the four brave students from North Carolina who first
sat-in and waited it out.
B. a bill which outlaws racial discrimination in all public places
C. a form in which people peacefully sit and decline to leave
D. a polite behavior that everyone enjoys
B. The sit-in movement had a positive result.
C. Only black people participated in sit-ins.
D. A lot of protesters were arrested, with some students driven away from school.
B. It declared that segregation was a law.
C. The students were allowed to participate in sit-ins.
D. It made racial segregation against the law in all public places.
B. The first sit-in was in 1960.
C. The sit-ins helped to end segregation.
D. The civil rights bill was passed in 1964 by the U. S. Senate.
ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is
still low compared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States
is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows
that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in Chinese real estate market, the International Finance News reported.
Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted to Renminbi, is
about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese
property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to
the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big
Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in
the US.
The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some
bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality,
environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American people"s average income
is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which
is even more expensive than that sold in US?
At the beginning of 2007, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now
in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate (控制) the real estate market by
raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers. At the
same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels,
such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means, it is
expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.
B. 10000 yuan
C. 7000 yuan
D. It"s not mentioned here
than in the United States?
supporting facilities.
B. American people"s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people.
C. The houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they
sell their houses.
D. There are more people who need houses in China is larger than that in the United States.
B. Three
C. Two
D. One
B. There are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market.
C. The average housing price in China is even higher than in the United States.
D. Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.
of the culture. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.
After World War Ⅱ, the population of most large American cities decreased; however, the population
in many Sun Belt cities increased. Los Angles and Houston are cities where population shifts (转移) to
and from the city reflect the changing values of American society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, city
residents became wealthier. They had more children so they needed more space. They moved out of their
apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs.
Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults.
Many, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older
ones of the Northeast and Midwest. Many young professionals are moving back into the city. They prefer
the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that
the city offers.
This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their
apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead
of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many
of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents
now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: many dying cities
are alive again.
B. They are hopeless.
C. They are alive.
D. They are different.
B. Because they were richer and needed more space.
C. Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.
D. Because cities contained the worst parts of society.
B. are faced with housing problems
C. want to sell their buildings
D. need more money for daily expenses
B. the population is decreasing in older American cities
C. many people are now moving from American cities
D. people have different views on American cities
