20、ravelling independently, rather than on a “20-cities-in ten-days“ bus tour like those that brought his predecessors. Such tours still appeal to most Chinese tourists on their first trip further afield than Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan. But a third are now organising their own travel, spending more and
21、 staying longer in each of their destinations. Nearly one in ten international tourists worldwide is now Chinese, with 97. 3 million outward-bound journeys from the country last year, of which around half were for leisure. Chinese tourists spend most in total and per tax-free transaction. More than
22、80% say that shopping is vital to their plans, compared with 56% of Middle Eastern tourists and 48% of Russians. They are expected to buy more luxury goods next year while abroad than tourists from all other countries combined. The dizzying pace of growth is expected to continue. Only around 5% of C
23、hinas population now own passports, and most of those who travel go to Hong Kong or Macau. But increased affluence, a trend towards longer holidays, fewer visa conditions and growing numbers of repeat travelers mean that every year more will take foreign trips, and more will venture farther. By 2020
24、 the number of foreign trips made from China will double, predicts Aaron Fischer of CLSA, an investment firm, and spending by Chinese tourists abroad will triple. 1 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 从文中 “The 28-year-old from Shanghai has already been to France and the Netherlands He is now flying to his final stop， F

If yogurt is strategic for the French, olive oil has the same exalted sta
28、tus in Spain.

Earlier this month, when it emerged that all the bidders were foreign, ministers s
29、aid they would prefer that it remained in Spanish hands, and raised the possibility of the state taking a stake in the firm. On April 10th a British private-equity firm, CVC Capital, won the backing of Deoleos board after making the highest offer. But given the controversy over selling to foreigners
30、, two of the four would-be sellers now look like keeping their stakes. CVC will end up owning 30% of Deoleo but will later seek to buy the rest. Olive oil accounts for a mere 0. 8% of Spains exports. Yet it is an extra-sensitive matter. The country is the worlds largest producer of the oil, but one-
31、third of its exports are sent in bulk to Italy where it is bottled and sold, often for a significant markup, under Italian labels. French- and Italian-labeled wines typically fetch higher prices than Spanish-labeled ones, though the gap is narrowing. Spain has come a long way, compared with the rela
32、tively closed economy it had before joining the European Union in 1986. More recently, rising exports have helped pull the country out of a deep recession. Its olive oil is winning new customers in places like China and Mexico. But the country clearly has some way to go in raising the prestige of th
33、e “ Made in Spain“ label. 6 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 从文中看法国的 Danone公司是一家食品公司，主营酸奶；西班牙的 Deoleo主营产品是橄榄油。 “it was a national industrialjewel If yogurt is strategic for the French， olive oil has the same exalted status in Spain”告诉我们，二者都属于国家的民族产业，地位举足轻重。因此选项 A的叙述是符合原文大意的。 【知识模块】 篇章听力理解与选择 7 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 从文中 “m
34、inisters said they would prefer that it remained in Spanish hands”可以推断出，选项 D的叙述是符合原文大意的。 【知识模块】 篇章听力理解与选择 8 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 文中 “two of the four would-be sellers now look like keeping their stakesCVC will end up owning 30 of Deoleo but will later seek to buy the rest”说明， CVCCapital并没有如愿购得四家银行共同持有的 31
35、股份，所以只有选项D的叙述是正确的。 【知识模块】 篇章听力理解与选择 9 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 虽然四个选项所叙述的都是事实，但是结合下面一个例子，不难发现西班牙橄榄油面临的窘境是虽然原料产地都是西 班牙，但是从文中 “French-and Italian-labeled wines typically fetch higher prices than Spanish-labeled ones”可以知道，贴了外国商标，可以卖到更高的价格。因此选项 D抓住了问题的实质。 【知识模块】 篇章听力理解与选择 10 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 从原文 “More recently， r
36、ising expogs have helped pull the country out of a deep recession ”可以知道，西班牙经济已经走出低谷，但并不能说明选项 D的说法是适合的。选项 A错在了时态上，见原文 “compared with the relatively closed economy it had before”；选项 D也把西班牙产品贴外国标一事过度夸大。因此，只有选项 C的描述是正确的。 【知识模块】 篇章听力理解与选择 11 【听力原文】 A growing number of apps, such as London Air and AIRNow,
37、 are available for metropolitan residents worried about air pollution. Most air-quality apps rely on official daily indices. These are typically designed to alert their users to the immediate effect of various pollutants, which for most people are significant only when pollution is extremely high. I
38、n Britains index, for example, the concentration of nitrogen dioxide above which pollution is classified as “moderate“ is set at a level where it becomes, according to the WHO, “a toxic gas which causes significant inflammation of the airways“. The resulting dichotomy between daily and long-term hea
39、lth advisories can be huge, according to an analysis of a years worth of data. In London, for example, the daily index says air pollution is low on about six out of seven days. But daytime levels of nitrogen dioxide exceed the WHOs one-year limit almost 80% of the time. Similarly, Frances index tell
40、s Parisians that the quality of the air they breathe is “good“ or “very good“ on about four out of five days whereas the levels of nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter or both are above that annualised limit during 82% of daytime hours. In fact, the harm from chronic exposure to amounts of pollution

In children it can lead to stunted growth of the lungs, heart and brain. 11 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 原文一开始解释了两种不同的空气质量测评数据，一种是空气质量测评软件提供的，一种来自于政府的数据。因为二者的参考标准不一样，所以结果大为不同。政府的数据更为准确，从中暴露出的空气污染问题十分严重，对人体造成的损害也是巨大的。综
42、上所述选项 D的内容更为贴切。 【知识模块】 篇章听力理解与选 择 12 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 从文中 “A growing number of apps， such as London Air and AIRNow， are available for metropolitan residents worried about air pollution ”可以知道，这款 app是为市民播报空气质量数据的。 【知识模块】 篇章听力理解与选择 13 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 从文中 “asmoderateis set at a level where it becomes， ac
43、cording to the WHO， a toxic gas which causes significant inflammation of the airways”可以看出，说话者认为根据世界卫生组织的标准，如果空气软件判定空气质量为中度污染，那么世界卫生组织就会判定为有毒性的，会导致呼吸道发炎，所以空气质量测评软件是不可靠的。 【知识模块】 篇章听力理解与选择 14 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 综合上下文我们可以知道说话人举两个城市的例子就 是想告诉听者，即使每天空气质量播报的情况十分理想，就全年的情况来看，污染指数也相当高，因此选项 C的内容与原文大意相符。 【知识模块】 篇章听

45、country of Thailand in a gesture of respect for the late King. The social network announced the decision on its blog for advertisers, saying that it is removing ads in observance of a “cultural custom“. Note that ads will continue to deliver as normal in other countries, and that advertisers in Thai
46、land can continue to run ads outside of Thailand. Why make such a drastic move to pay respects to this particular beloved world leader? Facebook hasnt said why outright, but Thailand is a significant market for the social network and is home for some of Facebooks most engaged users. When the company
47、 first opened an office in Thailand last fall, Facebook chief operating officer noted that Thai users tend to post three times more often than the global average. At the time, an estimated 37 million people in Thailand were using Facebook most on mobile. Facebook ads are also particularly well-recei
48、ved in Thailand, according to a report from the Thai newspaper The Nation. Its not clear how much money Facebook is foregoing as a part of this decision; the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The ad research firm eMarketer estimated that Thai advertisers would spend $81.7
49、 million on Facebook advertising by the end of 2016, making Facebook the largest ad platform in the country. That suggests that Facebook could be letting go of $ 6. 8 million per month, though that is a very rough estimate. It does not factor in how much Facebook could be making from ads bought by Thai companies and shown outside of the country. As Facebook said, its not clear how long the moratorium on ads will last. The Washington Post has reported that the mourning period for the late king will last a year. The move is a first for Fac
