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 _41_ and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them_42_. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. It is important to think about the people of a _43_ country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that _44_ tourists. Tourism should also _45_ the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too _46_, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also _47_ 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 _48_ 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 _49_ facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to _50_ 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.III. Reading Comprehension: (27%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, 51 , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often 52 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business 53 that the customer remains a customer. 54 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing 55 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the 56 implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big 57 in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to 58 increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.In the US, Dominos Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and 59 never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in 60 profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).The logic behind cultivating customer 61 is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to 62 them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits. 63 customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 64 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 65 for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.51. A. in particular B. in reality C. at least D. first of all52. A. emphasize B. doubt C. overlook D. believe53. A. denyingB. ensuring C. arguing D. proving54. A. Moving B. HopingC. StartingD. Failing55. A. markets B. tastes C. prices D. expenses56. A. culture B. social C. financial D. economical57. A. promise B. plan C. mistakeD. difference58. A. cost B. opportunity C. profit D. budget59. A. as a result B. on the whole C. in conclusion D. on the contrary60. A. huge B. potential C. extra D. reasonable61. A. beliefs B. loyalty C. habits D. interest62. A. altering B. understanding C. keepingD. attracting63. A. Assumed B. Respected C. Established D. Unexpected64. A. agreeable B. flexibleC. friendly D. sensitive65. A. unfair B. difficult C. essential D. convenient Section BDirections: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性）as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.66. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. The mans job was bike racing.B. It was their only possession.C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D. They used it for work and daily life.67. We can infer from the text that _ .A. the couple worked 60 hours a weekB. people were busy before ChristmasC. the stranger brought over the bikeD. life was hard for the young family68. How did people get to know the couples problem?A. From radio broadcasts.B. From a newspaper.C. From TV news.D. From a stranger.69. What do the couple learn from their experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.(B)Ideas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia are mobile and very open, people here change jobs and move house quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time. So its normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at firstOn the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society put it, its no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you dont want to answer.Cross-cultural differences arent just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different place to placeThis can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with. Some societies have “universalist” cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. “Particularist” societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the societys unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture. The Indian traveler has too much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. He expects that the check-in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. The check-in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldnt be fair to the other passengers. But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers dont have his problem.70. Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians _. A. like traveling better B. easy to communicate with C. difficult to make real friends D. have a long-term relationship with their neighbors 71. A person from a less mobile society will feel it _ when a stranger keeps talking to him or her, and asking him or her questions. A. boring B. friendly C. normal D. rough72. In “particularist societies”, _. A. they have no rules for people to obey B. people obey the societys rules completely C. no one obeys the societys rules though they have D. the societys rules can be changed with different persons or situations 73. The writer of the passage thinks that the Indian and the German have different ideas about rules because of different _. A. interests B. cultures C. habits and customs D. ways of life IV.
