For example, too many tourists can crowd pubic places that are also enjoyed by the people there. If tourists create too much traffic, the people there become angry and unhappy. They began to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy (经济).It is important to think about how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the culture and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should be also helpful for the health and happiness of local people.‎ ‎ 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, first - class roads, and other support facilities (设施) needed by tourist attractions. For example, a large 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 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 (下水道) 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.‎ ‎26. Which of the following has most probably been discussed before this passage?‎ A. It is very important to develop tourism: ‎ B. Building roads and hotels are necessary.‎ C. Support facilities are highly important. ‎ D. Planning is very important to tourism.‎ ‎27. Too much tourism can cause all the problems except _______.‎ ‎ A. a bad effect on other parts of the economy ‎ B. a change of tourists' behavior ‎ C. over crowdedness of places of interests ‎ D. pressure (压力) on traffic ‎28. Not enough tourism will _______.‎ ‎ A. have more people out of work ‎ B. lead to fewer tourist attractions 10‎ ‎ C. make the support facilities cost more money ‎ D. cause the prices to rise and the pay to fall ‎29. The word "handle" in the last paragraph most probably means "_______ ".‎ ‎ A. get in B. pick up C. carry away D. take down B ‎ Jim was a young man in his early twenties who was studying to be a carpenter(木匠). He was a good worker, honest and worthy of trust, so his boss was pleased with him. As he was such a likable man and easy to deal with, he was popular with his workmates, too. They also made fun of him a great deal but he never got angry with them and would only laugh.‎ ‎ But Jim's one great shortcoming(缺点) was that he could never tell a lie, no matter how hard he tried, not even a little one. In fact, he was so honest and shy that he would blush(脸红) even when he was telling the truth. He used to stand in front of the mirror and practise lying while looking himself in the eyes at the same time. But as soon as he saw his face starting to go red he had to look away.‎ ‎ One morning, however, he didn't like going to work because he had been to a party the night before and it hadn't ended till the early hours of the morning. And then the first time in his life he decided to take the day off. He rang his boss, pretending to be a woman. He spoke in a high voice. "Hello," he said timidly. "I'm afraid Jim can't come to work today. He isn't feeling very well. "Poor Jim was thankful that his boss couldn't see him just at that moment because his hands were trembling(发抖) and his face was bright red.‎ ‎ "Thank you for letting me know," said Mr. Woods, his boss, and then just as he was about to hang up, he said, " Just a moment, madam, who's speaking. "‎ ‎ "Oh!", Jim stammered(口吃) , and going all out for making a voice (尽量装出…的嗓音) like a woman, he cried in a loud voice: "This is my landlady speaking!"‎ ‎30. His boss was_______ with him.‎ ‎ A. displeased B. not pleased C. satisfied D. unsatisfied ‎31. His workmates used to_______.‎ ‎ A, cheat him B. play with him C. play jokes on him D. beat him ‎32. Telling lies always made his face_______.‎ ‎ A. blue B. white C. red D. green ‎33. At the end of the story, poor Jim_______.‎ ‎ A. spilt the beans B. caught the worm like the early bird ‎ C. shouldn't put all the eggs in one basket D. became a great talker C ‎ Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?‎ Text messaging or "texting" is becoming very popular. But, scientists have ‎ discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands, Be careful! Too much ‎ texting can cause swelling (肿胀) in our thumbs and wrists. Our thumbs are not ‎ made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI.‎ ‎ We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many patients with.‎ 10‎ RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10 -15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future,‎ ‎ We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient she had treated was a five -year - old girl. She wasn't doing well at school, so her parents took her for treatment. It was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands, she couldn't hold a pencil.‎ ‎ As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can also cause the same problem. So, more and more people could find themselves with RSI.‎ ‎ Many university students and teenagers have RSI, as they do not know the risks (冒险) of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. If we don't do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.‎ ‎34. What causes the problem RSI?‎ ‎ A. People make too many phone calls.‎ ‎ B. Texting is becoming very popular.‎ ‎ C. People type too many text messages.‎ ‎ D. Our thumbs were made for pushing buttons.‎ ‎35. The little girl who Dr. Harjeet Deepa treated couldn't hold a pencil because _______.‎ ‎ A. she didn't go to school ‎ B. she was only five years old ‎ C. she had no thumbs at all ‎ D. she suffered a lot from RSI ‎36. You can probably read this passage in a_______.‎ ‎ A. comic strip ‎ B. story book ‎ C. science book ‎ D. detective story ‎37. From the passage we know_______.‎ ‎ A. it is better to use a larger phone with bigger buttons ‎ B. it is worse to spend less time typing the text messages ‎ C. using the computer keyboard will never cause the problem RSI D. university students who have RSI know it's dangerous to do too much texting.‎ D 10‎ ‎38.
