booksellers selling books on handcarts D.the same books as the ones in the bookshops of Charring Cross Road are sold D Without proper planning,tourism can cause problems.For example,too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants（居民）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 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.‎ ‎33.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 on traffic ‎34.It can be inferred from the text that______.‎ A.the author doesn't like tourism developing so fast B.local people will benefit from tourist attractions C.other parts of a country's economy won't benefit from tourism much D.we can't build too many support facilities ‎35.The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will______.‎ A.waste a lot of money B.weaken their economy ‎ C.help establish their customs D.help improve their life 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Everyone knows English is one of the most important subjects in middle schools.And we always know learning English is very important,but few students know how to learn English well._36_‎ I think if we have a right way to learn English,and we work hard,then we must learn English well.But what is the right way?_37_Second,everyone knows remembering new words is important,but how to remember them?I think we

第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、‎ C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Almost all scientists failed many times before they finally succeeded.In their scientific work,they were all strict_41_themselves.When they first_42_their ideas,they were always rejected._43_,they did not give up.It was their perseverance_44_made them successful.‎ A_45_theory is the result of the scientific method.Scientists look at the world and try to describe and explain what they see.First they carefully observe what they are_46_in.To explain what they have seen,they build a theory about the way_47_things happen and the causes and effects.Then they were_48_in their work.Finally the scientists test the theory to see if it matches what they have seen and if it can_49_future events.‎ In fact,every new thought or idea has to be_50_to what we already knew.Great thinkers or scientists are aware of this and try to_51_new and old ideas in_52_many different ways as possible.Some of the greatest scientists forced themselves to develop new ideas even when they tired or did not feel_53_.They all knew that for each new idea that works,there are_54_ten that do not.‎
