Passage A

阅读理解

Last year I went to Nepal (尼泊尔) for three months to work in a hospital. I think it's important to see as much of a country as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few days holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle (丛林) and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me. We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our equipment. It was hot, but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes.① In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the elephants backs to see better, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the daytime. Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We moved nearer and found a dead deer. This was the tigers lunch! I started to feel very frightened.

We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out suddenly, five hundred kilos plus and four meters long. It grabbed (咬住) Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I succeeded (成功) in pulling Kamal away.② One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass,

so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep.

From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax (放松) and enjoy themselves.

Passage C

阅读理解

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that were also enjoyed by the inhabitants (居民) of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants will become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help a country's economy (经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination (目的地) country and how tourism affects(影响)them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wellbeing 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 will suffer.

On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people will lose jobs.① Businesses will also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, broad roads, and other things needed by places of interest. For example, a fivestar tourism hotel needs 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 will lose money.

Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities (支撑设施) as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, and sewers to handle waste and water② .All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.

根据文章内容，选择正确答案：

1. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the part that goes before this passage?

A. It is very important to develop tourism.

B. Building roads and hotels is necessary.

C. Support facilities are highly important.

D. Planning is very important to tourism.

2. 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 (压力) on traffic

3.Not enough tourism can lead to ____.

A. an increase of unemployment (失业)

B. a decrease(减退)in tourist attractions

C. the higher cost of support facilities

D. a rise in price and a fall in pay

1. We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our equipment. 早上六点钟我们开始了旅途，两头大象驮着我们的设备。(Line 8, Passage A)

trip 是非正式用语，强调一次往返的短途旅程。journey 则比较正式，常指时间和距离都较长的陆路旅行，不一定最终要回到出发地。而travel 则泛指旅行、游历，尤指国外旅行，但无路程之义。 如：

Mother took me downtown on a shopping trip. 妈妈带我进城买东西了。 We made a journey to the Northeast of China. 我们在中国的东北做了一次旅行。

He has just returned from his travels. 他旅行刚回来。

2. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is. 金钱的价值并不重要，重要的是它(业余爱好)给我们带来的快乐。(Last line, Passage B)

not...but... 意为“不是„„而是„„” 连接两个并列的成分，表示意思上的转折。如：

He went not to help his father but to borrow money from him. 他并不是去帮他父亲忙而是去向他父亲借钱。

注意：当not...but...连接两主语时，谓语动词要与紧靠它的主语在人称和数上一致。如：

Not he but I am a doctor. 不是他而是我是一名医生。

Not the teacher but the students are going there. 不是老师而是学生们将去那里。
