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 will beco

18、me annoyed and unhappy. They begin 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

19、 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 can suffer. On the other hand,

20、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, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel c

21、an 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 hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and

22、 water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.（分数：12.50）(1).The word “inhabitants“ in the first paragraph means _.（分数：2.50）A.touristsB.passengersC.citizensD.population(2).Too much tourism can cause all these pr

23、oblems EXCEPT _.（分数：2.50）A.a bad effect on other industriesB.a change of tourists“ customsC.over-crowdedness of places of interestD.pressure on traffic(3).It can be inferred from the text that _.（分数：2.50）A.the author doesn“t like tourism developing so fastB.local people Will benefit from tourist att

24、ractionC.other parts of a country“s economy won“t benefit from tourismD.we can“t build too many support facilities(4).The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will _.（分数：2.50）A.waste a lot of moneyB.weaken their economyC.help establish their customsD.help improve their life

25、(5).The main idea of the passage is _.（分数：2.50）A.tourism burdens the local people with many problemsB.tourism needs a proper planningC.tourism must be supported by building and hotelsD.tourism can provide people more jobs四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.50)In the earlier days of computer history, there was

26、 a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. Peo

27、ple tend to be over-trusting of the functions of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons might be pushed, or that a computer might simply fail to work properly. Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a

28、computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something had gone wrong. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-comp

29、uter days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: For all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a device that can take the place of fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.（分数：12.50）(1).The main purpose of this passage is _.（分数：2.50）A.to look back to the

30、 early days of computersB.to explain what technical problems may occur with computersC.to warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computersD.to discourage unnecessary investment in computers(2).The present problem with computers is that _.（分数：2.50）A.computers will one day take over the world f

31、rom manB.computers are putting more and more pressure on people“s lifeC.people are too dependent on computersD.people always make mistakes in using computers(3).The author advises those dealing with computers to _.（分数：2.50）A.use them for business purpose onlyB.be reasonably skeptical about themC.che

32、ck all their answersD.give up basic thinking(4).By “internal computers“ the author means _.（分数：2.50）A.a person“s store of knowledge and the ability to use itB.computers used by a company for its own business dealingsC.the most up-to-date computers a company can buyD.computers which are very reliable

33、(5).It can be inferred from the passage that the author would NOT approve of _.（分数：2.50）A.computer science courses in high schoolsB.businessmen and women who use pocket calculationsC.maintenance checks on computersD.companies which depend exclusively on computers for decision-making五、Passage Three(总

34、题数：1，分数：12.50)Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls (民意测试), sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feel very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that

35、contribute to happiness. It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings. A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only

36、 chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs. The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from

37、high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education. Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the seve

38、rely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those with a good sex life are happier in general, but those who have a loving, affectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on sex alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness tha

39、n any other factor. It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time. Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods yet they are not necessarily happ

40、ier adults when they grow up. The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustration, to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.（分数：12.50）(1).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：2.50）A.happiness is pr

41、edictableB.a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC.happiness is not necessarily connected to one“s situation in societyD.the rich are likely to be happier than the middle-income group(2).People with college education _.（分数：2.50）A.have less opportunity to control their livesB.have mo

42、re opportunity to control their livesC.are not happier than those who have only an education at high schoolD.are much happier than those who did not graduate from high school(3).According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon _.（分数：2.50）A.a happy childhoodB.great wealthC.a college degr

43、eeD.a feeling that conditions are becoming for the better(4).Which of the following is most likely to contribute to happiness?（分数：2.50）A.Being exceptionally good-looking.B.Having a good paying job.C.Having a loving, affectionate relationship.D.Meeting lots of people.(5).Which of the following attitu

44、des of feelings is most likely to be found in happy people?（分数：2.50）A.Having self-esteem.B.Being sure of keeping everything they already have.C.Never being jealous.D.Knowing how to be charming.六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.50)Faced with a mission-critical decision, who would you turn to for advice? Som

45、eone you have great confidence in, surely. But several lines of research show that our instincts about where to turn to for counsel are often not completely correct. My research looks at prejudices that affect how people use advice, including why they often blindly follow recommendations from people

46、 whoas far as they knoware as knowledgeable as they are. In studies I conducted with Don Moore of Carnegie Mellon University, for example, I found that people tend to overvalue advice when the problem they“re addressing is hard and to undervalue it when the problem is easy. In our experiments, subje

47、cts were asked to guess the weight of people in various pictures, some of which were in focus and some of which were unclear. For each picture, subjects guessed twice: the first time without advice and the second time with input from another participant. When the pictures were in focus, we found, su

48、bjects tended to discount the advice; apparently, they were confident in their ability to guess correctly. When the pictures were unclear, subjects leaned heavily on the advice of others and seemed less secure about their initial opinion. Because they misjudged the value of the advice they receivedc

49、onsistently overvaluing or undervaluing it depending on the difficulty of the problemour subjects did not make the best guesses overall. They would have done better if they“d considered the advice equally, and to a moderate degree, on both hard and easy tasks. Another advice-related prejudice I“ve found compels people to o
